I am here for the year-round blockbusters fuckery Hollywood is creating. Gods of Egypt is gonna be a monster bomb for Lionsgate. 150M budget and early April release lmao.

 

Gods of Egypt, Ben Hur and The Huntsman will be the big bombs of the first 4 months of the year.

Gods of Egypt, Ben Hur and The Huntsman will be the big bombs of the first 4 months of the year.

The Huntsman might save itself OS. Ben Hur will be an epic WW bomb. Gods of Egypt will probably do well OS as well. 

[grim22]

I suppose it is a stretch to call The Walk "big budget," but considering 3D and IMAX you know the studio was hoping for 100 mil. Anyway, I don't think it would've made THAT big of a difference, but I feel like The Martian stole a lot of those adult audiences that show up in the fall. 

 

Speaking of IMAX, wonder how badly they have been hit this month. Everest did decently well in IMAX only but fell post that, but then The Walk and by the looks of it Crimson Peak didn't do all that well in IMAX at well. 

 

If they had The Martian instead, it would have helped IMAX attendance a lot (and led to an October OW record for sure).

Speaking of IMAX, wonder how badly they have been hit this month. Everest did decently well in IMAX only but fell post that, but then The Walk and by the looks of it Crimson Peak didn't do all that well in IMAX at well. 

 

If they had The Martian instead, it would have helped IMAX attendance a lot (and led to an October OW record for sure).

Everest did big business in IMAX.

 

The Walk was apparently doing all his money in IMAX so it probably did ok for the format as well. Not as well as The Martian would be doing, of course.

 

Crimson Peak is not the type of movie people go see in IMAX. I am surprised The Last Witch Hunter isn't getting IMAX next week. Crimson Peak is gonna have IMAX for 3 weeks lol.

Star Wars is getting IMAX in December, right? If not... lol

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Yeah, it has it for a month.

[CJohn]

The lol is because by next week IMAX screens will be empty because nobody will be watching Crimson Peak.

A month IMAX run seems extremely short for SW. What movie could possibly be taking IMAX away in January?

[CJohn]

Most likely 13 Hours from Michael Bay or The 5th Wave on MLK weekend. If not that then only The Finest Hours on January 29 (this one is confirmed, it will get IMAX).

When will we start reading in the trades about theater managers getting upset that they have to pull successful IMAX movies for flops?

[John Marston]

Lol The Walk and Crimson Peaj were the IMAX movies for this whole month

[dudalb]

Bridge of Spies. Another casualty of opening so many adult movies so close to each other. Still it at least should have really good legs

Not with Steve Jobs taking the adult audience next week.

But I think you have a point with so many adult oriented movies opening so close to each other this year...more then most A result of December...normally the biggest month for prestige, Oscar bait films..has a 1000 pound gorilla called "Star Wars"The Force Awakens" that studios are reluctant to go against. Narrower then usual window for the Oscar Bait films.

And that we have had a plethora of spy based films,with the biggest one of them all destined to open in a couple of weeks, did not help Bridge. I think there is a "We will go see SPECTRE in a few weeks so I am not in the mood for a spy film right now" hurt it.

As for Spileberg being "washed up" ,one has to laugh at anyhbody saying that. He has had box office fails before.

Yeah, but I mean when stuff happens like Genisys pushing out JW, or whatever is going to push out SW.

[Mojoguy]

It isn't up to theaters to decide how long a movie gets IMAX.

 

IMAX has contracts with studios, sometimes they make dumb decisions like one week IMAX for Everest, IMAX for fops like The Walk, and no IMAX for The Martian. Wow, October really SUCKED for them.

[CJohn]

At least The Walk did ok in the format. Crimson Peak probably totally bombed in the format. 

[dudalb]

The biggest loser here is the poor Mia Whatchamacallit, who dropped out of Carol to do this. 

ANd she was doing recycling her role in "Jane Eyre" a few years ago.

[WrathOfHan]

I think SW has it locked until Finest Hours, and after that they'll probably put it back.

[CJohn]

No, it isn't locked. It is only locked until MLK weekend. They might keep a show or two a day until Finest Hours if the demand is there, but 13 Hours or The 5h Wave can get IMAX on the MLK weekend if they want to.
