You got some like personal grudge against this movie or something?

 

Seriously look at the posts on the last few pages and tell me there isn't some bias against this movie/universe

He posts a lot in the power rangers thread. I'm thinking he's looking for anything negative about Kong because it's literally the only closest thing to Power Rangers.

 

Anyway, these screenings will help the film. If the move does pay off we could see a opening weekend of 60-70 I think.

It's no coincidence they lift the embargo a day after all those screenings. They're confident in the film to spread word via actual people who have seen it.

 

Nothing to worry about here... 

 

So embargo for Kong lifts March 4th?

[Stormagden]

I think the advanced screenings will get people that wouldn't have paid for the movie anyways to watch it. Might be a good thing.

People here have weird grudges, and they seem to have picked "sides" already. As if WB and Disney are sports teams that you support even when they're playing shit. If you go back and read the Ghostbusters thread (it will infuriate you though), you'll see extreme examples of this. If you defend a movie from announcement, for some reason you're locked into that corner forever and must defend it the whole way through. Same if you were dismissive about it: you now hate on every announcement, sniff at positive tweets, and write paragraph after paragraph about how bad it is.

 

Oh and btw, "people here" includes me, because Nolan is the king and fuck you if hate on a Nolan movie.

I got tickets for March 1st. I'm excited. I was a big fan of Godzilla!

A person on another board with connections to WB knew that the embargo was scheduled to be lifted on March 2nd before this tweet was posted. I'm not worried too much about the previous tweet. If anything, I'm expecting a fun blockbuster and nothing more.

Does anyone think this look like it will be great based on the trailers? I'm kinda split myself, I'm expecting reception similar to Legend of Tarzan...

I think it looks decent. I'm way more interested in the director's next movie though

The Last Jedi.

 

I think the trailers for Kong look great. Visually and stylistically it's very pleasing and i'm just looking forward to an action packed, fun monster movie. I didn't like Jurrasic World very much and thought Godzilla was just okay. This looks great.

I'm not expecting a reinvention of the wheel but after Last Jedi and Captain Underpants*, it's my most anticipated movie of the year. 

 

I like monster movies, I love this cast, I love the fact that it's during the Vietnam War. It's just up my alley. 

 

^{*high praise, I know.}

[Cookson]

And that's the thing. It's pretty crazy WB is needing to play "catch up" when this film looks absolutely fantastic. If they play their cards right with the advanced screenings, it could have a really good opening weekend.

 

Also, it's Facebook likes are getting better on a daily basis now. Could be a good sign for the film.

Well Tarzan did overperform to expectations... So bad reviews may not impact this film too poorly as long as it has GA appeal

[That One Girl]

Warner usually lifts their embargoes rather late.  The fact that they're releasing it 8 days before release is a clear sign of confidence.
