Really? Not even baby groot?

That was stupid scence completely. It was a good movie but no reason for baby groot.

I know its off topic, but I'd just like to say all you people can't fault millenials for being on gadgets all the time. Do you know why we are? Because everything is accessible now. Right there in our pockets. Movies, shows, the internet, videos, songs, our credit cards, gift cards, games, calculator, health tools, nudes, emails, everything.

To all you 30+ year olds, if technology had been 20 years earlier, aka WWW in 1974 instead of 94, Iphone in 1987 instead of 2007, Youtube in 1985 instead of 2005, then you guys would be just like us (if youre not already). 20 years later and we'd be in your shoes: in 20 years wed be complaining about that generation. We were born at the right time of this technology.

Yes we can take a break from it and we're on it too much, but the accessibility is the reason and its not our fault technology advanced along with us. Its not anyones fault that theyre not going to movies anymore either. Yes a millenial can watch Netflix on their phone, and? Its the cinema and studios job to keep people coming, but they dont have to come.

In 15 years you going to complain about the young generation.

Anything above 25% would be a great increase IMO. Most comparable 5 day openings increased around 18-20%, King Kong increased 39%, if it can match King Kong's increase, then that would be really good news for legs.

Anyone know how PK is doing? I went to buy walk up tickets and the show was sold out and plenty of disappointed Indians were heading back. First time I was turned back due to a movie being sold out for a Bollywood release. Guessing 2.5M weekend may happen.

MCN reported PK's Friday estimate as $1 million from 272 screens.

Hobbit3 needs 21 mill to get a pass from me

[Elessar]

GOTG was fine. Solid, competently made... but it hasn't stuck at all.

 

That applies to all Marvel movies.

[baumer]

WTF is up with Deadline?  Why don't they report numbers anymore on Saturday?

[fmpro]

No Sat numbers??

Fuck this shit. I actually miss Nikki

[Asyulus]

Amazing numbers for Hobbit.

Painful numbers for Flop in the museum and Flopnie.

Dead numbers for Ex-Flopdus.

I'm over 30 and I love new tech. To be honest I work out new stuff works before most.

The increase is good, the number...not so much,.

[Krissykins]

On what planet is the Hobbit 3's 5 day matching the Hobbit 1's 3 day "amazing" ?

[Cochofles]

Where are the Sat numbers_ I see people talking about the increases, but I don´t see any Sat numbers...

[kayumanggi]

It will match or even surpass TH: TDOS's 5-day total. It's relatively good considering the fact that many thought this won't pass the second one.

THE IMITATION GAME took in an estimated $0.895M this weekend from 34 locations. Domestic total stands at $3.19M. #TheImitationGame

So because we have lowered our expectations to that of ASM2, that makes it good?
