Mojoguy Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Yeah, that's it. Had nothing to do with the fact the trailers didn't sell the movie at all... Sorry, as I said before, it looked more creepy than magical or innovative.Spielberg should've filmed it in live action. I can't get over the creepy eyes.Does Steven Spielberg think he is Robert Zemeckis or something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) Everything except MI:4 is shizenhousen. Dragon Tattoo doesn't break out? Really?American box office is completely fucked in the face right now. Edited December 23, 2011 by Magic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMovieman Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 How the fuck were they creepy? They looked perfectly normal to me.IDK, just something off when I saw the trailers. I think mojoguy got it right, might've been the eyes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoguy Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Everhing except MI:4 is shizenhousen. Dragon Tattoo doesn't break out?

I can't get over the creepy eyes.Does Steven Spielberg think he is Robert Zemeckis or something?Mo`cap doesn`t work on humans, period, even when they are caricatrurized like Tintin characters. It works on aliens (Avatar) and animals (ROTPOTA) but humans (Tron Legacy, Polar Express, Beowolf, Tintin) just look off-putting. For exmaple, I don`t have a problem with Haddock in trailer but Tintin freaks me out most likely because he is the least caricaturish. And Jeff Bridges looked like dead young Bridges not like young Bridges. So yeha, not there yet, not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitcher Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 This thread is just a perfect example how expectations can first be inflated and then shattered in a couple hours.God damn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I loved Tintin. It was a great blockbuster. It is a shame that is flopping this hard.GWTDT was never meant to do those big numbers that some of us were predicting. It is a very dark movie and doesn't have any big star (Daniel Craig is not a draw).Good for MI4. The real story of this Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Spielberg should've filmed it in live action. I can't get over the creepy eyes.Does Steven Spielberg think he is Robert Zemeckis or something?It couldn't have been live action because there's no way some of those set pieces could've been pulled off that way. And I don't think Spielberg was confident enough to try and make it a normal animated movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) These are good numbers overall. Dragon Tattoo is probably slightly overperforming industry expectationsOh, please, lets stop the òverpefroming`shit right here! The movie costed $100 mio to make, is based on a huge bestseller so you bet that expectations werent conservative even with R rating. It#s doing OK. Nothing spectacular. It isn#t breaking out as some expected. So looks like it won#t bomb but it won#t be a sensation either.

Tbh I may just leave after the previews and walk into something else because I can do without nightmares tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, if you don#t want to watch Tintin after TH trailer than contribute to another movie#s boxoffice. Exchange the ticket for MI4, for example.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Box Office Brawl: Warner Bros Demands Recount From Rivals Paramount & Sonyhttp://www.deadline.com/2011/12/box-office-brawl-warner-bros-demands-recount-from-rival-studios-paramount-sony/The real news Wednesday night was how well Sherlock is holding. MI4 opened wide on Tuesday at 5PM and included the entire day ($2M) into Wednesday’s gross of $8.5M. Tattoo opened wide at 7PM on Tuesday and included the entire day ($1.6M) into Wednewsday’s gross of $5M. Since this creative reporting has never be done before, you should note that both films grosses Wednesday night were intentionally inflated from $6.5M and $3.4M respectively. Sherlock’s 6th day actually finished in 2nd place Wednesday. Let’s all compete on a level playing field. Just watch the drop off Thursday of both M:I4 and Tattoo vs Sherlock.

tawasal Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I am talkin about the 3 day, but there is no way it's going to now that I NOTICED 24th is on saturday and all movies we decline that day and later rise on sunday. So 30-35m is my prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
