No, I totally understand that a parent wants their child to have something to eat or whatevs. but I do NOT understand how that equates to buying four massive size popcorns. Going by UK prices (I assume America is actually cheaper), $40 of cinema food is about 7000 calories. Call me arrogant but I'm sorry, NO one needs to eat that much in the space of 90 minutes.

 

Why do you keep approaching this from a "need" perspective? No one needs to do anything. But people will do what they want for an afternoon or evening out. They might also buy food they don't finish eating. But more to the point, most of the time this isn't a calculated judgement call. For almost all movies, the hassle and expense of the whole experience isn't worth it, for them.

DoFP did 117M on the same markets. It is good.

So, 15% drop comparatively to DOFP? Could have been worse I guess.

Expecting a similar drop DOM next weekend.

Yeah, we did £3 tickets for kids films on Saturday and Sunday mornings. People would get mad that it had increased from £2. "It used to be £2, now you want me to pay £3 for a fucking kids movie? You're fucking stealing my money"

You're telling me, the Tuesday deal (ticket + popcorn + drink) used to be $12.50, but when it increased to $12.99, you'd think that it really was the apocalypse.

What I always hate is when some obese dude enters the theater with a tray full of food, takes forever to take a seat, and then proceeds to much on his food and sip on his drink SO LOUD THE WHOLE THEATER CAN HEAR IT. Like pack on the pounds some more, why don't cha.

Might be different though with Alice and X-Men launching at the same time.

I'm not sure about the number of territories where the movie has opened in. I think it's safe to say it's a little bit lower than DOFP. Over 100 M is still great though.

[Avatree]

I just do not understand why people complain about prices for completely optional things, or things that are cheap anyway.

Is the "disappointment" label only attached to a highly successful film when it's a superhero movie?

there are usually small childrens portions at much lower prices - not that you would ever notice the small portion, by the sounds of it.

 

And I'm sorry but I do not believe any cinema near you charges $8 for a regular bottle of water. if it's so expensive and you have to eat and drink then bring food from home or buy it in a supermarket. you ain't gona get stopped and searched lmao, you are not that important

No Outside Food or Drink

Please do not bring food or drinks into our theatre.

 

And I can't find the exact cost of water online at amc but next time I'm in.. I'll quote  this post  and take a picture of the price.

No, but those're usually the movies people over-predict like crazy.

No legs, as always. Expecting a 2.2 multiplier from OW at best.

It seems yes.

 

Every superhero movie that doesn't do Avengers numbers is a huge misfire.

[Daxtreme]

The X-men franchise has always been good at retaining its audience, even with so-so movies.

 

Apocalypse will retain most of it, it will open with ~$80M for the 3-day I say.
