Crusader Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Theater average ain't that great but its not bad either I wish this was the norm for mainstream entertainment instead of the biggest release this weekend but that would be a perfect world and I know better than that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) I'm a little worried about Snowpiercer going into next week… but then again, it did seem to perform well/over perform in the theaters it was released into. I hope the public will continue to seek this movie out; it's getting some great social media buzz, so...

TalismanRing Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) The theater avg was about as high as it could be considering how many and how large the screens it played on. Most of the afternoon and evening shows were sold out or near sell outs. Actual #s: Snowpiercer RTWC $171,187 - 8 - $21,398 Great hold on Sunday SNOWPIERCERRadius-TWC 8 $45,852-- / $5,732$45,852 / 1 $68,397+49.2% / $8,550$114,249 / 2 $56,938-16.8% / $7,117$171,187 / 3 Looking at the list of locations for expansion the kind of theaters and locations looks more of the same. There isn't even a theater added in NYC where it's playing a total of 13 showings in three theaters combined, two of which are rather small. It's not going to get higher end and larger theaters in better locations until VOD is taken off the table for 3 months.

TalismanRing Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Theater Expansion: Snowpiercer: Radius-TWC 250 242Reportedly, most of these are 100 seat or less screens in less popular art house theaters - let's hope they're at least full to capacity.

TLK Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Snowpiercer is a limited release because Harvey is an asshole. He had differences with the director so he dumped the movie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If J-Law was starring in it and DOR directed it, that old fart would care...But the movie would be shittier.

Empire Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Snowpiercer is a limited release because Harvey is an asshole.

Unless I want to drive 2 hours, I will have to wait until it is on video to see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRing Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) http://www.firstshowing.net/2014/interview-snowpiercer-director-bong-joon-ho-on-mastering-sci-fi/ Interview with Director Bong (with spoilers) - an excerpt about Evans I want to ask about Chris Evans because I was incredibly impressed by what he does in this movie, more so than anything he's done before. How did you get that much out of him? Was he just committed to it? Did he believe in it and just give it his all? How did that happen? Bong: Chris Evans, he's actually just a very, very sensitive guy. You don't notice that immediately because he's so muscular and strong. But he's actually very delicate. You have to approach him very carefully and almost protect him as you work. He's an extremely intelligent guy. And he also looks at a film from the director's point of view. He's also a director. So sometimes he's just very, very focused and into the scene as an actor, especially the monologue where he talks about 17 years ago. The morning that they shot that scene, he just had this very focused feeling and he was just deep into it as he walked onto set. But then other times he'll [step] 10 feet back and see the whole situation as a director and come up with ideas or give his input. So he had this interesting way of going in really, really deep then also being able to step back. Of course, he made a film already, [titled] 1:30 Train [due out sometime in 2014/2015]. But, of course, his action, his physical stuff is just amazing. He's like an action machine. The stunt coordinator was shocked because his timing and precision was just unbeatable.

Sam Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Director Bong also did some Q&A on Reddit. You can read it here:http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/293cd9/lets_take_a_bizarre_train_ride_with_bong_joonho/He talked a bit in-depth about Snowpiercer, answer some questions about the cast members (mostly Chris and Tilda Swinton), The Host sequel and some other interesting topics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dashrendar44 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 It's clearly amazing how this movie is the "worst" Joon-Ho movie and the weakest of his stellar filmography (I prefer Memories Of Murder and The Host in comparison) but damn his "worst" is anyone's else best/masterpiece. (Basically it's Matrix trilogy told in one movie when Joon-Ho tells you in a self contained 2 hours movie what Wachos bros painfully told in 6 hours). The set designer deserves an Oscar nod. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
