riczhang Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Also ITW seems to be expanding. We're getting more theatres starting next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Getting real close to "Critics are worthless because they hate a movie I was looking forward to". Critics are worthless because they're worthless. They do this for a living. Cynical is a massive understatement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Tele Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Christmas Day is the highest grossing day for Christmas releases (apart from family movies). But look at 2003. Almost everything increased on Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Critics are worthless because they're worthless. They do this for a living. Cynical is a massive understatement. So if Unbroken had a 85%, suddenly critics would be cool and right again? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) So if Unbroken had a 85%, suddenly critics would be cool and right again? They would be better. But I don't pay attention to reviews. Never read 'em except for movies I'm looking forward to and they consistently disappoint me with holier than thou attitude towards film.

BadAtGender Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 But look at 2003. Almost everything increased on Friday. Most things decreased in 2008, though. Actually this year feels a lot like '08. There's a broad slate of films and while none are breaking out huge, there seems to be enough business to make a number of them successful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ando918 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Critics are worthless because they're worthless. They do this for a living. Cynical is a massive understatement. They are generally pretty accurate, as is the Flixster audience score. Accurate as long as the audience listening to them is at least about 17 years old and past the "Grown Ups 3/Paul Blart Mall Cop 3" maturity level.

rockNrollaDIM Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I really am hardly ever in line with critics though. I hate marvel shit which they splooge over (low bar?), you couldn't pay me to see Selma/12 Years, list goes on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I have never seen so many people at my AMC 24 screener. They are turning people away left and right for Unbroken and itw because it's all sold out until late evening.... my imitation game showing is at 85% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 But look at 2003. Almost everything increased on Friday. Valkyrie did 29,5m coming from a 8,5m OD. But those numbers for Unbroken and woods seem a bit low to me, but maybe there's just not enough capacity to do more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 However critics sometimes miss that audiences sometimes connect to a movie emotionally and forget whatever "technical" mistakes were made. I think a good example this year is Interstellar and classic example is Gladiator. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyneOh1040 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Variety is reporting 10 million OD for both Into the Woods and Unbroken. Huge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ando918 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Whatever ladies. I don't care about your opinion either. Let's bring on the numbers. Calling us ladies? Are you a little sexist? That's kind of derogatory. I noticed that you said that you will never see Selma, so we know you might be racist and only like White male heroes, but now we know you are sexist, too. Wonderful.

CJohn Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Still shocked that Disney didn't put Into the Woods in over 3,000 theaters. It was an obvious winner from the start. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
