To be fair, no one here has seen the finished film, we'll get a clearer picture once the film starts being screened to critics and bloggers.

Well, there is a little of anedoctal evidence worth of reactions out there, but yes, itt'd be hilarious if, after all of this gloom and doom, the movie was actually pretty decent

I imagine we'll hear reaction fairly soon. I think that'll turn the tide on the RPO bashing.

I actually don't know if he meant RPO or Uprising.

 

If he meant RPO though, it'd go in line w/@grim22's comments on peers of his having really good opinions on it. On the other hand, someone said that Uprising was apparently ID4-Resurgence'd.... YIKES.

I imagine WB probably aren't going to have social media reactions for RPO for least another week or so although I wouldn't be surprised if they're screening it this weekend at SXSW which could mean reactions trickle through on say Sunday Night/Monday Morning.

 Launching it at SXSW wouldn't be a shock. I wouldn't be surprised if WB has social media reactions after that screening,

Ah, parody film posters. Never a good sign. 

 

Theres actually a Twitter Moment about how much people are hating and destroying the new posters. The snarky comments have thousands of “likes” each.

I’m going to a secret screening on the 13th of March. Hmmm.

Probably won't be RPO as that's the week after, it's more likely Love, Simon or Isle of Dogs.

Think again. This movie already has an Unlimited preview on the 19th.

It has a four day opening so I'm guessing that'll be closer to $45m as we get closer to release.

Ouch. Warner Bros are wanting $50m at least, according to that article. 

 

Not good. 

[Valonqar]

is anything tracking decently this month?

35 3-day doesn't bode well for 100 dom (2.86x) for a movie with a pre-existing fan following. Hoping for 40 at least.

Don't forget it has a 4 day opening, I think it'll be do $40m+ for the three days and $50m+ for the four days. It could easily go up once reaction and reviews are in. I wonder if WB is erring on the side of caution because of what happened with BR2049.
