ecstasy Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Much better, thanks. Almost at two months clean. Things are looking up. Certainly better than where I was a month ago when I was a depressed lump on the floor. I'm once ready for a little BO action. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 This gif is so perfect for my general state of mind this week. Unfortunately I'm on a self-imposed drinking ban until after I complete my very first half marathon on Sunday morning!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Dug The Hunger Games a lot (Saw it twice theatrically), amazed at what a beat-for-beat retread Catching Fire was (and overpraised as Hell) save for a few scenes including that great cliff-hanger ending and frankly not in a rush to see Mockingjay Part I. Maaaaaybe home video. It's funny, since I have the exact opposite opinion on THG and CF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmBuff Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Definitely felt the hype for Mockingjay Pt. 1 wasn't nearly as high for Catching Fire from 2013. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Yeah, I saw the first two opening day but I'm not bothered to go to the cinema to see this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Interesting note about IMAX and other Premium Large Format screens: http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2014/11/21/what-to-watch-for-in-hunger-games-mockingjay-part-is-weekend-box-office/ It was only in the last year or so that the various weirdly-named offshoots (the AMC EXT, the Cinemark XD, Regal RPX, etc.) were cobbled together and referred to as “Premium Large Format” for the sake of cumulative comparisons for each weekend’s box office totals. As such, I can tell you this year that Transformers: Age of Extinction opened to $100 million and earned $10.7m of that in IMAX and $7m on the various PLF screens. That’s par for the course with big movies that go out in IMAX and on the various PLF screens. Godzilla earned 15.1% ($14.9m) of its $94m debut weekend on IMAX and also earned 9% on 347 PLF theaters this past May. What was interesting is that Dawn of the Planet of the Apes didn’t debut in IMAX and yet made only 8% of its $73m debut weekend in PLF screens. One might speculate that a film being released in IMAX constitutes that it is the kind of film that is worth seeing on the biggest possible screen, which in turn boosts the PLF numbers too. Interstellar earned a stunning 26% of its $49m debut frame earlier this month but also earned 10% of that $49m figure in the various PLF formats. Although the October release of Sony’s Fury also went out sans IMAX and yet did a record-breaking 23% of its $23m debut in PLF theaters. Moreover, back in September, you had two not-so “big” movies (The Equalizer and The Maze Runner) which earned more of their opening weekend grosses in PLF (around 10%) than they did in IMAX (around 9% in each respective weekend). I would still argue that the debut of those films in IMAX lent a certain credibility to the genre entries, as did the surprising IMAX release of John Wick last month. Will the fact that The Hunger Games: Mockingjay part I did not go out on IMAX will help the PLF formats by giving them “exclusive rights” to project Mockingjay part I on the very biggest possible screens on which Mockingjay can be shown? Or will the lack of an IMAX version make audiences think twice about seeing the third Hunger Games movie in a large-format at all? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitik Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 17M? Well that's quite a bit lower than the previous two. Can't blame IMAX for that, it wouldn't make anywhere near that big of a difference. There must be less interest overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Yeah, I saw the first two opening day but I'm not bothered to go to the cinema to see this. This kind of attitude is ruining cinema. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Speaking as a non-fan who only saw the first one on iTunes, the ads for this were fairly lackluster. Compared to Catching Fire, they were downright dull. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
