Weekend Thread | Official estimate: The Martian 55M. Rth Sunday Est Pg43: 13.4M. Gravity will remain October OW record holder.

Excited to see whether Martian can take October record... If that's the case, what a year! 6 months' records (Jan, Feb, Apr, June, Sept, Oct) broken in a single year! What's astonishing is that more records can be broken in the remaining 2 months

Everest over 120M domestic

Ethan Hunt. His Power.

At least My The Martian over Back Hawk Down adjusted club looks like it will be a success

It is still embarrassingly bad and the numbers are something the studio wouldn't want to appear in the papers.

 

Box office numbers rarely appear in the newspapers I've read, in fact I think most newspapers stopped showing box office numbers a long time ago.

Just got back from The Martian, what a great movie. Matt Damon knocked it out of the park. Even my dad who's hard to please liked it. And I come home to The Martian reaching 18M on Friday.

 

RIDLEY SCOTT. HIS POWER.

Where was all this Ridley love six months ago?

Hiding in the shadows waiting for a good movie. I'm honestly super excited for Alien: Paradise Lost now.

The Martian is doing strong so it could hold up hopefully the next 2 days increase to over 20 million today and then do about 15-17 Sunday.

Everest just plunged this weekend upon losing IMAX. That is a big drop for a movie which was pretty well received by all accounts. Guess the depressing ending didn't help at all (despite it being based on a true story), and the lack of any major money shots to include in the marketing campaign definitely hurt. Around a 45M finish domestic looks likely.

 

It's going to have less than half the audience the IMAX Everest film from the 90s had.

plus it was 2 years after the real Everest incident that this movie is based on.

New Everest will have half the audience of the first Everest movie, and the new Everest's widest theater count is 3,006 theaters compared to the 62 theaters of the first Everest film. Embarrassing!

Nolan won't do a scifi space movie next. He loves killing off wives in new, exciting genres

 

Cyberpunk movie about a tormented widower hacker, here we come.

Well... It was in theatres for 77 weeks

I liked Exodus.

[Mojoguy]

With Everest and The Walk stinking up IMAX theaters, I hope the next film that goes exclusive there does better.

Pretty great weekend for returning to the forums Seen a hell lot of promotion for The Martian around here so I'll probably see it soon.

The 3D in The Martian really isn't worth it. At all.

I really couldn't disagree more. I thought it was stunning and really enhanced the film. 3D is truly subjective I guess.

Christopher Nolan directs Toy Story 4, in which a grown Andy is traumatized after his mom dies of cancer and withdraws into a childike catatonia.

 

Michael Caine naturally voices Andy's psychotherapist.

The trailers I got with The Walk were:

- Secret Life of Pets: good reaction

- SPECTRE: feels like the marketing is a step below Skyfall

- Joy: what the?

- The finest hours: Boston accents everywhere. The trailer pretty much spoils the movie

- In the heart of the sea: looks to be native IMAX in some scenes. Doesn't look particularly appealing though.

My Martian showing stars in 20! So stoked!
