Kvikk Lunsj Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Move to one of them and you'll get all the weather coverage you desire! If you come to NY now, you can hear about the Frankenstorm 24/7. I could careless about the weather. Weather Channel does a pretty good at doing the weather. But Fox/NBC/ABC/CNN do a shitty job with the weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 How many movies have opened in other cities first? I think if a movie opened in Chicago/Houston/Boston/Toronto San Fransisco it still have a huge theater average.Not nearly as impressive, and studios don't like that. You do realise how many people NY has right? About 4-5 times Toronto's population, 3 times as many as Chicago, and ... The metro area of NY contains something like over 20 million people, that's more than the population of most states, and 66% of the population of Canada.

RichWS Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 It's nice to get the good stuff first but it also means it can be a bitch to get tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I would pay a lot to see a movie in advance.I think a lot of people think they're overpaying for movie tickets. I don't mind because the tickets in Vancouver are cheaper than London's, but I doubt it'd work if they charged more for tickets. The gentle platform rollout is designed so that movies gradually build steam as they go along, from NY/LA, to the second tier cities, and then third tier cities, after which they go through one or two more expansions, or directly go to a wide opening. The Master's biggest problem was the The Weinstein's pushed it too hard, and they didn't give it enough time to gather steam in the second tier, and third tier expansions where the arthouse market is big enough to sustain something that's quite inaccessible tot he general public before letting it go wide.

Kvikk Lunsj Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I am still pissed that I did not get see the Master in theaters.

riczhang Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I suppose it depends on your financial situation and your interest level in movies. I personally don't mind shelling on a twenty for a movie if need be but a lot of people are balking at the average big city price of about a tenner.

Jake Gittes Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I think it's going to be the seven in Dexter's post plus Moonrise Kingdom.BTW, Hyde Park got received pretty coldly in Toronto so it's not in contention here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Hitchcock has that been screened yet?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Moonrise Kingdom could get in. What about Hitchcock has that been screened yet?.It's probably too crowded for Moonrise to get in, and Hitchcock is currently in my predictions as the character driven movie tested at a 92% with the General Public, which is pretty amazing.

CloneWars Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I want to say that I have a feeling that one mainstream flick will make it in and for right now, I think that is going to be Skyfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
