AniNate Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Also, thumbs up for whoever mentioned WWZ. I was one of the ones on that bandwagon, but there's another where a lot of folks were thinking megaflop, but it wound up hitting 200M. In fact there were far more expectations for WWZ to flop than for Gravity. Well, in my case, that would be a negative surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I've gotta point out that Anchorman will be in the high 80s by Sunday. Everyone thought it was underperforming but Christmas might've saved it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 except this also had a unique hook of being set in space. It also had one of the best uses of 3D. I think the more you learn about the movie the more apparent it was looking like a strong hit Well, I certainly didn't expect a talent like Alfonso Cuaron to film in 3D and not make good use of it. But outside his Harry Potter movie he hadn't had much mainstream success, even when he tried to do mainstream (A Little Princess, Great Expectations) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I wasn't really impressed with either of their initial teasers, but I expect it from Disney since they market everything towards children. The marketing for Gravity concealed pretty much every single one of the film's unique elements. I though Gravity's trailers were very well done. The serene music, beautiful shots of earth, a sudden explosion, the metal parts flying towards you (obvious watch it in 3D plug), and then zooming out to leave teeny tiny Sandra Bullock rotating alone in the giant space...shivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) I guess I'm just not receptive to the serenity -> calamity style of editing a trailer. Every single cheap slasher movie ever has used it. I think a more effective teaser for me would've been just showing the final two minutes of the opening shot of the film. You'd get the story, the players, and the style, and you're left wondering what happens next. Edited December 27, 2013 by tribefan695 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I've gotta point out that Anchorman will be in the high 80s by Sunday. Everyone thought it was underperforming but Christmas might've saved it. While many thought it was underperforming, there were those of us who actually knew about Christmas trends, who still said it has a chance at 120-140 mill. It'll be at 100 mill before the end of the year so the 150 club is still very much alive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
