Not just Portugal, it's all of the continent. Pretty normal thing after a terrorist attack over here though; pretty sure the same thing happened after the London and Madrid bombings a decade ago. Portugal itself is not THAT worried compared to the real ticking bomb-steppers, though. Have we even had a terrorist attack over here? Not that they need a reason, but atm they don't see us as a vital target.

I am pretty sure the question is not IF but WHEN. They will attack every European country. Their objective is to take over the Continent.

I'm stuck in a conundrum. I have a free ticket for my local theater. It's only good till mid April. Nothing much I want to see between now and then. So I'm torn between seeing BvS or Zootopia (again).

 

Any advice?

See BvS. At least you will be able to judge it on your own.

All I can say is that Zootopia is a fantastic movie that I want to see again in theaters. BvS has been hit or miss with some people. However if it's a free ticket why not take the chance?

that moment when a Lego batman movie looks better than batman v superman

It's been kind of how I've been leaning to BvS. Even if it's terrible, I kind of knew I'd be seeing it in theaters. The question now is if I see it this weekend or wait. I don't think I have the patience to wait.

[grey ghost]

So how much does BvS need to make OW to prove the "BvS is critic proof" theory?

 

Over 155 m?

Go Zootopia! Hoping for a good hold this weekend

 

Kinda sad for Greek Wedding 2, the first one was such an incredible box office story. I think a sequel could have worked for nostalgia's sake but the promo was not there and really bad release date.

 

As for BvS, well whatever happens, this weekend will be memorable for us box office geeks

Our media said all Europe is on high alert. Countries are taking strong security measures. 

 

This is wierd. To inform myself, I normally read two major german (online) magazines / blogs (spon - a left wing blog spawned from the german news magazine Der Spiegel - & Focus online - a right wing blog spawned from the geman news magazine Focus) and while they are claiming that security on major airports and main train stations has been tightened (which is kinda normal given the circumstances), there is not a single word to be found on going into high alert mode besides France & Belgium. O_o I guess I have to go and search for some additional sources to get some real information. Thanks.

I want a DCU because the more competition in the genre the more the studios will push to differentiate the movies, which is an overall win for moviegoers.  I just don't want a DCU headed by Snyder, because Id like it to actually be good.

 

Hopefully this helps WB realize the error of their ways.  Even as someone who really dislikes Snyder as a director, he has a great visual eye, he just doesn't need to direct movies. Id like to see him work as a visual consultant to a better director.

Opening weekend total will be large...

 

However the holds on the weekend will be a good tell.

Hey what is your final gross predictions for BvS if it opens in 170-175M range?

Then just take the jump this we. Even if BvS shouldn't come out as the greatest sh movie of all time, it should be able to provide more than enough fun and/or entertainment, so the ticket won't be a waste.

OW may not prove whether BvS is critic proof or not. OWs themselves can be critic proof.

Multiplier would be interesting. AOU did 2.4x. ASM2 did 2.2x.

Using 2.2x, it needs a 182m OW to get 400m.

Using 2.3x, it needs a 174m OW to get 400m.

Using 2.4x, 166.7m.

All those European opening do people have Thursday off because the numbers were for a Wednesday 

[misafeco]

I saw dozens of counter-terrorist guys yesterday, they are everywhere, especially in metro stations.

[grey ghost]

Also when's the last time tracking over-predicted a major blockbuster?

 

I mean, other than CJohn's official 300 m estimate for TFA.

Well, as for Germany, no, thursday before easter friday is a normal working day. It is easter holiday season though, so there might be a whole lotta people having some days off from work.
