Superbowl Weekend Numbers (RTH updated Sun#s pg 14)

[DAR]

GUYS I HAVE GREAT NEWS It turns out I have a friend whose in the film theory class. So I got y'all some predicts Gonna try to keep it up every week: Labor Day - 9MThat Awkward Moment - 6M

Considering what comes out of that class I expected worse

[Incarnadine]

Interesting, I was just looking at this weeks theater counts and see Lone Survivor increased +123. What's strange is that when I was at the theater today it's down to 1 show at 10:25 there.

I can't understand the theater increase, it's been out long enough that theaters that wanted it should have had it by now, but it hasn't been long enough to hit dollar theaters yet.

Pretty much all the other theater count changes make sense, although I though Jack Ryan might have shed more than 480, but then again, only 2 middle of the road releases don't take up too many screens, and Devil's Due theater loss alone makes up about a quarter of that demand.

Watching Scott Pilgrim gets me all the more hyped for Ant-Man. Wright knows how to shoot his action definitely.

World's End proved that plenty.

[Blankments]

World's End proved that plenty.

Oh yeah, World's End has better action than Scott Pilgrim. Alas, World's End isn't on Comedy Central right now

Give it time. It'll be on the channel in the next few years, mark my words.

[Blankments]

You know, Scott Pilgrim gives me hope for Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. He does an excellent Nega-Scott in the movie.

Just from skimming the conversation, I really need to see TLR. It sounds cracktastic.

ignore the haters, TLR is fucking awesome!

It's not great, but it's definitely very underrated.

Haven't seen TLR yet. I'm sure it'll play endlessly on FX or USA or TNT in a few years and I'll catch it then

[kowhite]

TLR is fun. It just takes a bit too long to find its footing but when it explodes into what it should've been earlier at the end...it's kinda awesome.But, there's a long slog of ok to get there.It certainly didn't deserve the critical slam it got though. How this got razzie noms up the ass while a shitfest like White House Down didn't even get mentioned...I don't understand.Ok, actually, I do get it...the razzies have nothing to do with what actually sucked the most.

2.2M.  Should be able to increase slightly from last weekend, maybe 9.5M.  That's in line for 400M

I think there's a difference between watching a movie on TV with low expectations after it's been bashed by everyone, and paying money for it and seeing it on the big screen without having the ability to fast-forward or switch channels. Audience is more forgiving in the comfort of their homes when you can opt out whenever or skip scenes if the movie gets tedious. Unless you make Battlefield Earth, Batman & Robin or The Room, you are bound to find the it-wasn't-that-bad kind of love.

The box office this January wasn't as strong as I was expecting.

agree, the movie for me is still generally dull but the the action setpieces were amazing so the Oscar nomination for visual effects is well deserved

[Jim Shorts]

Haven't seen TLR yet. I'm sure it'll play endlessly on FX or USA or TNT in a few years and I'll catch it then

And most of the good action will be cut out or censored for tv. At least catch it on HBO.

[Krissykins]

Expected more from Awkward Moment. Ouch for Labor Day.Terrible, boring weekend.
