Dementeleus Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Forget about what I said earlier. I love you Tele. Just enjoy the fuck out of the movie. I am sure it is glorious in IMAX 3D. I wish I had the chance to see it in the format.I'm looking forward to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulder Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I don't think I've loved a film's alien design that isn't a Xenomorph or classic Grey/Green Alien as much as I did the design for the Mimics. Oh and add Yajuta ((Predator)) for a film's design for an alien that I loved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulder Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 EoT is also incredibly smart and complex. Its character development is top of the line and I like how it didn't spoil that William Cage ((Tom Cruise)) was a PR-coward in the trailer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I don't think I've loved a film's alien design that isn't a Xenomorph or classic Grey/Green Alien as much as I did the design for the Mimics. The Alphas were designed really well. The normal ones looked like the creatures from the Matrix. EOT seems to have picked up in terms of advance ticket sales (relatively speaking). Current sales in the past 24 hours TFIOS: 49% EOT: 18% Maleficent: 15% DOFP: 5% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Maybe it's big drop indicates that it's not so good after all, at least to the General Audience??? It only dropped 52% Friday on Friday. Still showing much better legs than most of the May releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted June 7, 2014 Founder / Operator Share Posted June 7, 2014 Maybe X-Men's appeal is just too adult oriented (beyond the core fan base). After rewatching (most of) the movies lately, I realized how much material is in there that really could be off-putting to parents, and/or outright inappropriate for little kids. Granted, some of Marvel's movies have toed the line too, but they're much more kid-friendly than any single X-Men movie. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I think a drop of 40% is on the tables Friday was 8.2m + 17.9m If it gets 17.9m on Saturday, that's a 31% drop. If it drops 10% from non-preview Friday and gets 16.1m, then it's a 38% drop from full Friday. Twilight's was 41%. That gives it 15.4m Thanks. That's a decent guesstimate. Fairly big I would assume. Though Twilight's midnights to non-preview ratio was much better at 7m + 29m. So calculating from non-preview Friday, Twilight dropped 27% on Saturday. That would give FiOS 13m and a 50% drop from full Friday. Both your guesstimates are pretty much in line with Movieman's below. Notfabio from HSX mentioned advanced ticket sales for today At usual megaplex there are 49 advance sales for today vs 301 Friday for Fault read into that as you will {nm} notfabio on Jun 07, 08:10 are there usually a lot of Saturday advance sales? {nm} lobogotti on Jun 07, 08:18 Depends on the film but that is one of the more drastic drops {nm} notfabio on Jun 07, 08:34 Thanks Grim. This is what I was afraid of. Can't tell just yet but the theaters I'm checking aren't full and there are 0 reports of lines and sell outs. And I'm not seeing any sell outs on fandango. Really hate fandango changed their format. Makes it difficult to tell what sold out previously. Yet it's still early things could change. 13-15m Sat for FIOS, calling it now. You could be right.

Dementeleus Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Tele, when you normally go to the movies and enter the IMAX Auditorium, do the moviegoers give you a standing ovation when they see you arrive??? . They would but I go incognito. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And DOFP will actually show better legs than TASM2. Despite the kid friendliness, TASM2 will eke out a 2.15 multiplier by the end, I am shocked how bad the legs for TASM2 and Godzilla have turned out to be. Or for that matter, even Neighbors which looked like it would do really well for a comedy. Have we had any 3 multipliers outside of Lego this year? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 22 jump street was so funny it killed me and then it brought me back to life. that's gotta be my film of the summer so far. Happy to hear it. I loved the first one, and comedy sequels usually come across so forced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Happy to hear it. I loved the first one, and comedy sequels usually come across so forced. there are sooo many jokes in the film just about this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim22 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Neighbors has done extremely well, considering its budget is only 18m. I meant post the OW. With a lack of comedy options, and Neighbors actually being a pretty good movie, I really thought 150-160M was on the table for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Neighbors is gonna pass the 100000 tickets sold in total very soon over here. Fantastic considering the opening was just 25000. Even more fantastic considering TITE sold like 10000 tickets in total over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
