Except for FURY ROAD.  

 

The contract was signed literally a couple of weeks after Fury Road released, at Cinemacon IIRC.

Sent in my BOFFY noms. Think I could have tinkered with them a little more but had to pull the trigger.

Best Week-end 6 :

 

SW7 had nearly the same 6th weekend as TPM. I know it was 99 and a different market. But anyone think that the repeat viewers can cause tighter holds now that we are down at lower BO levels. TPM made 80m more going forward

Avatar was already at 2.7 billion before the re-release. It didn't make much more after that. 1 billion isn't happening. Re-releases don't make much unless it's a movie that's really old. 

It would be interesting to see what TFA could do if it was re-released a month or 6 weeks before Episode VII, it might be able to do quite a bit better than a normal re-release because of the anticipation for the next installment.

Yes, but no this was no lesson. Just a joke  (since you said somewhere you often get confused between if and when). You are much too elder to me (this is grammatically incorrect but feels more polite to me than 'older than me' which is the correct phrase) for me to give you any lessons. And I am not a native English speaker either. And I have high respect for you who self taught herself another language and even moreso since you still kept trying even after a shitty teacher told you you were his worse pupil (I know it can extremely disheartening). 

Nono, please, I do love to get lessons,... the best way to get better (hopefully).

And I think the age has nothing to do with who should be the pupil and who might be the teacher, knowledge and / or experience or simply other experience or... are!

I teach in the school myself, but I do learn also through my pupils, every time! And you're right, I didn't even try to get better after school for a time, even forgot again (the little bit I learned via the way too few hours), till I had to start again via technical handbooks.

 

Question about tweets:

What is about tweets that lists film festival based sales of movies to like e.g. amazon? = TV = not cinema I guess nothing for the movie area, but I do not know all buyers, so...?

Snow was balls deep this morning when I went to shovel the drive way.  Now I know how Leo DiCaprio felt like in The Reverent! Minus the bear attack.

This weekend's boxoffice.

... we do not use past tense in sentences where 'did' has already been used. So it should be 'did i correctly understand '

Nearly de-liked the post whilst trying to like it again (twice) for the added hint .

Thank you again  , I try to remember (hopefully not too ingrained)

Not only a very different market, it had summer days.

Watching Spectre. Halfway through. It is so fuckin beautifully filmed (that Rome chase, JESUS!). Definitely among best films I've seen this year. What were people complaining about?!

I like it. There are some missteps near the end that prevent me from loving it

Would putting it in drive-ins as a double-feature add much during a summer run? I could see it being very popular in this format. Even if out on disc. Yes I know there are not many drive-ins left.

Of course you would say that

[MrPink]

The third act is more or less a trainwreck.

 

First two acts are decent. 

 

Q was my shit tho.

I mean the action scenes aren't that great (or plentiful)
