Fuck Steve Jobs was great. Easily as good as The Social Network, possibly much better. The structure was brilliant and Fassbender was really something.

Speaking of Steve Jobs, it's on track for 175k today and 531k for the weekend, 102k behind American Sniper: http://deadline.com/2015/10/martian-pan-the-walk-weekend-box-office-1201572119/

The Walk is gonna open with 5M. Monster bomb. What happened here?

 

Pan will be lucky if it gets to 27-29M with a big Saturday bump lmao.

That translates to a $597.85 PTA if it does 1.5M

It's not going to get the same kind of expansion numbers Sniper got. Sicario was another movie with strong limited release numbers and then didn't live up to those on expansion, went from 66k per screen to 30k per screen to 4k per screen.

I am more shocked with The Walk's results than with Pan tbh.

[Ozymandias]

Still can't believe The Walk got IMAX over the The Martian, especially now that its a flop.

Yeah, it should at least do high teens on OW though.

I have to say the reviews and the marketing. The marketing for The Walk was pretty bad, the reviews while positive were all pretty much saying "The first 2 acts are okay/bad, but the third act is amazing". Audiences cannot pay just to watch one-third of a movie unfortunately. 

 

Not to mention that the movie has nothing else to offer apart from that one final setpiece which is pretty awesome but not worth paying so much to see in a theater I guess. 9/11 and the WTC are also sticking points for a lot of people.

 

The Walk did save Gravity's OW record though.

Also won't a lot of people know how The Walk is going to end considering it's based on a true story? Won't that kill the suspense a bit?

Sucks for The Walk. Doesn't seem like a terrible movie, guess the premise is just not appealing. Marketing wasn't great either. Luckily it only cost 35m so it's not a huge loss. I'll probably try to catch it in IMAX, since it seems worth it.

Shame about The Walk. It's really an excellent film.

Not more so than any other film that is based on a well-known true story.

I thought the trailers for The Walk were flat out horrible.

[AJG]

I will gladly watch the third act of The Walk...

once it's on YouTube.

Everything else about that movie can be seen in the trailer.

IMO "Day vs. Night!!" is a lot more funny than "The redcapes are coming! The redcapes are coming!"

I think the Day vs Night part is pretty epic in the context it's used.

Sony never seemed to have any faith in the film.

The Walk was really awesome visually and a lot of fun to watch. I do see why studios passed on it and while I liked the advertising material, I can see how it wasn't really compelling or appealing to most. But it's a great 2hrs at the movies.
