As I was walking into my theater, a 50 SHADES show let out: hundreds of women were pouring out. Groups of 3, 4, 5. Laughing and discussing.

It's a small thing, I guess-seeing a crowd of people leave a theater-but it was one that tells a story better than B.O. #'s on Deadline.

And think, man. I wonder what would happen if I greenlit more movies where this kind of audience came out of the theater more often?

A man in Sweden asked a group of 3 women to be quiet during their showing of Shades, and the three women beat him down in the theater, GTA style. They were arrested, but the man is okay. Savage. This is why we can't have women in public.  <_< Im kidding, I'm kidding, I love yall, but this was bound to happen somewhere.  :lol:

^ Wow I thought Fandango and MT played a bigger role than that. Only a quarter for Fandango? Surprised.

 

22% is higher than usual. Fandango published the list of its top ticket selling movies a couple of years ago. The listed consisted mostly of Twilight and Harry Potter movies but they were in the 16-19% range. Since then Fandango has added a lot of AMC theaters to its roster so that may be the reason for the increase.

It happened in Scotland too. :lol:

 

“Besides being the worst film I have ever seen, three women were getting arrested and put in a police van when we arrived. A woman came out the theatre and said that a guy had been glassed. One woman was in handcuffs and another two women were in tears. She said that three or four girls had been very loud and were shouting...The man had asked them to shut up and he was glassed. It’s a cinema where you can buy drink.” He added, “There were also several incredibly drunk women vomiting in the aisle and corridor and several complaints from the other screen about drunk and rowdy folk.” A local barmen (who did not wish to be named, unlike Michael Bolton) noted, “We knew there was an incident but we didn’t expect it to be at Fifty Shades Of Grey.”

Aww, as a woman that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy except for it being about a movie based off a plagiarized juvenile misogynist piece of degrading shit that's more horror than romance.  Oh jeez, I'm this close to doing an Ando. :ph34r:

Scotland, Sweden, whatever... they're all S-countries on the other side of the Atlantic.

I know. Im saying the news got it wrong :). Thats funny that it did up on local news though lol.

22% is higher than usual.

Since people make such a big deal about Fandango I always thought the share was higher. Guess online sales tickets havent completely taken off like online retail (yet).

http://www.thewrap.com/box-office-shocker-only-20-percent-of-all-movie-tickets-are-purchashed-online/

 

In the 14 years since they launched, online ticket brokers Fandango and MovieTickets.com have become well-known fixtures on the moviegoing landscape. But did you know their sales represent just 20 percent of all the movie tickets sold?

If you live in New York or Los Angeles, that number probably seems surprisingly low. If you’re reading this in the Heartland, it probably seems high. And if

Reasons it isn’t higher include moviegoers’ tendency to use the service only for movies they fear will sell out, which generally means tentpole-type summer movies, and consumers’ natural resistance to surcharges, typically $1 per ticket. While both companies have experienced double-digit sales growth in the past two years, breaking past that plateau — and turning moviegoing into an online rather than walk-up business — is the biggest challenge facing the two companies.

 

There is a great deal of variance in the level of online sales not only geographically, but on a film-by-film basis. On a much-buzzed blockbuster like “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” for example, online sales could go as high as 55 or 60 percent on opening night in a big city like Los Angeles. But for an afternoon screening of “Jersey Boys” in Albuquerque, it could be zero.

The 20 percent number is based on conversations with the two companies and other industry insiders, because currently there are no data being kept on exactly how much of the market goes to online. Neither the Motion Picture Association of America or the National Association of Theater Owners tracks online or phone purchases vs. walk-up sales. It’s also worth noting that roughly 5,000 of the nation’s approximately 39,000 screens aren’t currently wired for online sales.

Fandango President Paul Yanover noted that his industry’s online sales percentage was considerably larger than the overall retail market in the U.S., which the most recent U.S. Census Bureau report on e-commerce put at 6.2 percent. And he suggested that the travel industry provides an interesting comparison, and a realistic barometer of where the online ticket biz could be in the future.

“The travel industry got a head start and now, a significant portion of their business is done online,” he said. “We’re very confident with the position of online ticketing, and I’m optimistic this industry will see consistent growth in the future.”

 

“With so many multiplexes and movies playing on so many screens, the ‘fear factor’ of not getting a seat — which has been a driving force for online — isn’t going to be enough,” he said. “It’s going to be incumbent upon them to change their marketing focus to the practicality and ease that online provides, until it becomes totally integral to the process.”

That means changing the motivation for moviegoers to buy online from “getting a seat” to “getting the best seat.” The companies are headed in that direction. Fandango reports that 49% of its ticketing business is now based on post-opening weekend ticket sales.

The proliferation of reserved theater seating and high-end dining-and-drinking locations will help as well. MovieTickets.com last month signed a deal with the Dallas-based, 181-screen Studio Movie Grill chain, a leader in the in-theater dining sector.

Part of the reason Yanover and Cohen are so bullish on the future is the explosive growth both companies have seen in terms of mobile phone sales. Both MovieTickets.com and Fandango report increases of more than 40 percent gains in tickets sold via mobile when compared with the same period in 2013.

“Since young people today pretty much have their phones grafted onto their ears, it makes all the sense to set to emphasize that market,” said Avi Savar, founder and chief executive of marketing and communications agency Big Fuel. “The other advantage is that as these millennials mature, they’re going to provide a significant amount of organic growth, too.”

That movie made me feel very cold (and not in the thematic sense). I needed to go out in the sunshine and bask like a liquid just to warm up. Scotland: beautiful but it looked cold as fuck.

 

I thought the landscape and it's coldness fit the film thematically.  The beach scene is frigid and chilling in more ways than one. 

 

Also, the use of near incomprehensible accents fit in very well with the feeling of alienation. ^_^

I mean, yeah. Couldn't agree more. But, I fear, given I know full well how much Tele likes the movie too, this could evolve into the Fifty Shades Of Skin thread. Great, great movie. Look forward to owning it soon.
