druv10 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I didn't realize you were in Houston. Cool It's a nice theater. Not quite the Palladium obviously but that's too far away. For me, it's a 20 minute drive, but it's worth the extra five minutes over going to AMC Willowbrook. I usually go to Edward Marque. They've a legitimate IMAX.

I think Rallax moved a year or two ago but he has family here. I'm in the Spring area so that's why Silverado is one of my spots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobby sucks, but I don't have much of a choice. Tried to fly United into Bush last year for July 4th and they completely screwed me. Postponed the flight until the next day for no reason. Southwest is the only one that has reliable service between Houston and Midland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hates having to come pick me up at Hobby Airport in southeast Houston. lol, I agree. Traffic in Houston sucks. I had to pickup a friend from Bush and it took me 2 fucking hrs to get there. I definitely prefer Katy. It's booming but everything is accessible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAtGender Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 That Raiders number is nonsense, it had made $180m by the end of of 81. BOM error. Regardless, AS should end up a solid #3 on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Gravity was PG-13. Yeah, that's why I put /adult drama as well. I don't necessarily think we need them all to be rated R, but I do think we should have more tentpoles (or movies marketed and treated as such) that's target audience is older oriented, because it's obvious that audience is there and ready to eat those movies up when they respond well. Gravity was PG-13, but it was hitting mostly the same audience that movies like Gone Girl, American Hustle, Wolf of Wall Street, and American Sniper were.

kowhite Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 People have been asking me...how do explain American Sniper's box office? I give a few reasons, and they go...but does that explain 107m!?! I then hang my head in shame. I just...don't know. Amazing performance, love these out of nowhere what the fuck happened successes. It's these things that make posting on box office exciting, even though I have nothing useful to comment about it. Cause...I dunno. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kowhite Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 It managed to appeal to ALL Americans and that is an incredibly rare feat last seen with The Blindside I've been comparing it to Passion of the Christ...but yeah, you're right. But like my friend said...does that still explain 107m? OW? I dunno. Passion did those numbers, but in the week run up to its release it was much more obvious it was going there. This movie...even after Thursday numbers came in...people (including me) weren't seeing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Tomball is just outside Houston. Texas was one of the territories I handled for the company I work for. I'm familiar with a whole lot of places there. It's crazy that I never heard of it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 That theater is always packed. I'm talking "park on the grass" kind of packed. Parents live about 30 minutes from there in the Spring/Woodlands area. Northwest suburbs of Houston have a shitload of people and it just keeps growing. Amazing thing to me is the number of grocery stores and the fact that they all stay crowded. Now I know the Woodlands. It's weird how that area is structured. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rthmessiah Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 The Raiders number is wrong. BOM's 1982 (and specifically January 1982) calendar grosses for a sone 1981 films roll in a large portion of the 1981 calendar grosses from the weekends they don't have numbers for. Raiders only has numbers from 1981 going up to weekend 2 (gross to date: $21,861,910). The data resumes on Jan 8-10, 1982 (gross to date: $179,642,063). Subtract the actual weekend take of $1,908,232, and you get $177,733,831. Subtract the June 12-21 '81 gross and you get $155,871,921. For reasons unknown, that $155.87m is rolled into the calendar gross for January 1982, when it actually belongs in 1981. Thru dec27 81 film was suppose to be at 168m (192 days), FYI at 111 day mar Oct 81 it at the time became Par biggest ever at the end of its 2nd full week it was at 27.2m 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
