Xiayun knocked up his wife and had a baby. So he's busy.

 

You don't see #ED letting that slow him down. True dedication

[Blankments]

Debating on going to the drive-in tonight for a rewatch of Godzilla and X-Men. Only really interested in the latter, but Godzilla was fine enough for a possible rewatch

Hell, #ED doesn't even let the preggo wife drag him to the movies.

He's even taking mod duties and moonlighting as a Box Office vigilante.

His baby isn't due for a few months. He won't be here much when the baby comes. Anything with Ed's genes is bound to be rather crazy.

ah yes, i remember world of KJ. the only forum that will house Algren.

What do y'all think about the X-Men and Fast & Furious demographics? I tend to think F&F appeals more to guys in their 30's and 40's, while I could easily see X-Men appealing more to college age kids.

 

That could provide a discrepancy in both matinee and night time shows, since the dudes in their 30's and 40's are working during the day while college kids are out of school right now.

 

Probably total bullshit speculation, but that's just the gut feeling I get from the types of movies they are.

The audience for X-Men was 56 percent male and 59 percent over the age of 25.

Universal's research showed that 56 percent of Fast Five's audience was male (about the same as Fast Four), 52 percent was under 25 years old

Just as I suspected. Got the women wrong though.

That's interesting. Thanks. So it was just bullshit speculation on my part.   We'll see how it goes the rest of of the weekend, but a 30% lead so far is great.

[Heat Vision]

Lol if Maleficent doesn't pass 70 million

[ecstasy]

Heh, as much as I appreciate that, I didn't want to sound like I was fishing for a compliment. But it's appreciated nonetheless. Sometimes the critiquing is a good ego-deflator, anyway.

 

(But to me, the "box office god" is Brandon Gray. And Xiayun.)

 

You're a hero. You saved us. That is all.

ah yes, i remember world of KJ. the only forum that will house Algren.

He was banned from there, I believe.

Algren's the best. I've never seen anyone be so wrong about the box office; he's even better than BKB at predicting the opposite of what will happen.

[CoolioD1]

I just snooped around and he's still kicking it there.

[Mattrek]

He was banned from there, I believe.

He just posted a few days ago, he's not banned.

Also Noctis check your pms.

Shay has to be in his league. Just saying...
