I'm happy it got a theatrical release. I just want to know what its screen average was because my session was surprisingly full.

[DeeCee]

It isn't even on anywhere in Wollongong.

[Robertron]

CA is at 16 Hoyts Locations across Australia. But each has quite a decent amount of session times.

From Hoyts:

[Robertron]

Oz has 15 sessions at my local - it's been a long time since we've had a film with that many sessions in one day - we didn't even make that much room for filthy hobitses (but I guess capacity was an issue for TH, even then we only had 8 or so sessions)And I see we/I because my local is my old work, and it's just easier to write it that way.

Event have release IM3 tickets - including midnights!

[Ball Lightning]

It comes out on the 24th here! Ohhhh yeah Midnight here I come!

[Robertron]

Tickets went on sale yesterday for IM3 here, and some midnights are already over 50% full.The Avengers has definitely had an effect here. I cannot remember IM2 having this much prerelease GA hype.

[Robertron]

It comes out on the 24th here! Ohhhh yeah Midnight here I come!

I'm considering getting tickets now.. But I don't know who I'm going with :/

[Robertron]

Something tells me Oz didn't do that great. We would've have numbers by now from THR or Deadline :/

[lab276]

What happened to Rth?

[Ball Lightning]

Oz OD was pretty weak.. Thinking its more of a weekend movie.

[Robertron]

So I'm assuming Oz didnt do too well here, otherwise we would've gotten some numbers by now :sDefs going <$5m OW now.

[pieman]

I think it will still do over 5 million.

[Robertron]

I think it will still do over 5 million.

I really hope so. We need something big.

[Ball Lightning]

Haven't been at work so no update from there.. But a few people have posted on facebook about it. All happy with it.. I'd say $5 is about the right mark.

yeah true... I think this film could play very well for families... 

 

I took my daughters to see this film today and they loved it!  couple of scary moments for my younger girl but a big thumbs up from the target audience.....

 

Personally I thought it was a very enjoyable film..... Captured the elements from the original film which this is loosely linked too (yeah ok i know there is a lot more out there on oz but still)  Frankly it was well above expectations... (better than alice was which is a good sign...) - i think an opening around 5m or even 6m is possible and wom should be strong... session i went to was about 80% full on a sunday afternoon (@ chermside vmax)

 

FYI - I saw the film in 2D because my younger daughter doesn't deal with 3d very well yet.... 

 

2D version of the film - i give a A- and yes i want to see it again but in 3D (anyone else say whether its worth seeing in 3D ?)

[pieman]

I would be surprised if it really disappoints here because I consider The Wizard of Oz to be just as entrenched in our culture as it is in America. Surely, the majority of Australians have seen the film or are at least familiar with the central characters and iconic images of the film.
