Jandrew Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Man this no-reactions thing is rough. I understand it, but I really want to know/see what you guys thought about it, but I'm not seeing this till maybe Monday, so I can't go in the spoiler thread, and won't feel like reading through 100+ pages. I like the "spoilers allowed" thread idea, but I wish reactions could come back and just be put in tags. Like i'm itching to know yalls feelings, but since its in the spoiler thread, I can't chart into that territory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they were so sure that AOU would smash everything. Another board of course. Thanks, we really wanted to hear about your internet fights on other boards.

The reactions ban was tough but SW was special. I was spoiled from reading all the reactions because I could piece together some major spoilers from them. The tags are a problem in mobile because on mobiles and slow connections it sometimes showed them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't full, only about 90 people in the theatre, but when the logo came up for the opening crawl they stood up and shouted "BOOOO Star Trek Beyond 2016!" Then they left without asking for their money back. Hahahahahahaha I would love to have witnessed that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same shit happened with DH2 as they were reporting 95-100m for its OD. Still, 120m OD is so batshit crazy and it's only the beginning of what is going to be a historic run and I can't wait to see what else this thing can pull off. Same was true of AoU. Presales completely screwed up the projections in the wrong way while TA1/JW went the opposite way with walkups. They kept going up and up with each update. 60-65-70-80. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilmBuff Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I was actually kinda disappointed it didn't get a 130 mil OD too. FU Deadline for getting our hopes up. Yet, 120 mil OD is insanity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope this doesn't become the norm, since not everyone goes out to previews/Friday shows, especially this time of year. I know alot of you guys do previews, but I never do. Part of the fun of this site is being able to see what other fellow movie lovers think and having a feeling of what to expect. I trust you guys reactions more than I trust critics. But if that is what has to become, guess I just gotta deal with it. Hopefully a solution can be made. 4 minutes ago, CJ Ren said: 90% of us liked it a lot. The other 10% not so much.

mepal1 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 34 minutes ago, terrestrial said: In addition to what redfirebird said: You (mepa1) are not right IMHO 1. Thursday in the US is only starting in the evenings 2. Previews do not get all the screens, in the US there are contracts that bind cinemas to show the official 'till Thursday' movies during the key hours and so on 3. Even the old midnight shows are not really the same, those got the full run / all screens, as at that time of day they weren't bound to the contracts anymore = IMHO at best 1 1/2 days or less, see reduced screens IMHO it isn't that important which system a country uses as long as the system is used country-wide, and consistantly. I understand what you say, all i'am saying is that it is misleading for the film media to say that the SW7 gross for Friday is $120+ mil, because, obviously many people may not know that this figure actually includes the Thursday previews gross as well, and even though the previews may have less playing time at the theatres, the fact is that a very large number of people will always attend the first showings of a highly anticipated film. Therefore the reported Friday gross is not representive of the true fact, but then again that is the way the film business does this nowadays, but to the general public, the figure is bollocks! btw:- do members here think that as this is the last Xmas shopping weekend, will this have an impact on Sat & Sun grosses. I think Sat will be very high anyway, but Sun should see a noticeable drop, as per the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
