I think the next couple of weeks will be boring.

[xube]

No...sats!wow this wk really is boring

None of the regular BO sources seem to be tweeting or updating. I guess they've all dozed off.

[SchumacherFTW]

Yeah, I'd rather see Aliens or Terminator 2 on the IMax screen, not Forrest Gump. Maybe Apollo 13 perhaps.

Apollo 13 was actually the first feature length movie released in IMAX back in 2002

I am hoping for 5m Saturday for GotG. That would also mean a 10m+ weekend.

An 85% increase?  Is that even possible?

[Jake Gittes]

TDK increased by 87% the same weekend in 2008.

I don't think there's been any hating on Gump. Just reservation on seeing it in IMAX.

There has. Most people love it but it does have its share of haters who find it corny and manipulative. And they think it robbed Pulp Fiction of Best Picture

The Identical is such a weird name for a religious movie. It sounds like a sci-fi film about cloning.

[John Marston]

Ninja Turtles passed Dragon 2, which nobody was expecting
