Wish I had the kind of courage it takes to admit you're actually paying to see Alice this weekend.

This wasn't by choice. My man is working and would murder me if I saw it without him, and I have friends in town this week and they wanted to go to a movie... Little did I know it was Alice. Oh well, I talked them out of IMAX and into the cheapest seats possible. Lol so it's at least a cheap mistake.

On @Fandango advance sales for #XMenApocalypse running bit below #XMen DOFP. #AliceThroughTheLookingGlass same range as Tomorrowland.

Considering online sales is a booming business, matching dofp would itself have signaled a drop so running a bit below translates to decent drop but then everyone expects it to open well below dofp.

 

alice...fandango par with tomorrowland???

 

That is likely what it means, but fandango doesn't have all the online sales so much any more, either.  I know I prefer the Arclight theaters, and they sell their own tickets on line.

 

I'll be seeing XMEN this weekend, at least once.

Looked at the Arclight website, and Arclight hollywood has 7 showings of Alice tonight for previews, and all of them put together have sold 32 tickets as of now. Presales are not exactly looking hot for Alice.

SHOCKER. 

 

They should have called it Alice in Wonderland 2. Also, this should have come out in 2013.

I just realized the big weekend has already begun at the theaters. I wish them the best for Memorial Day. Lots of money to be made this weekend.

The guy who wrote that tweet is predicting 93 mill for XMEN and 52 mil for Alice over the four day weekend.  http://www.boxofficeguru.com/weekend.htm

Another IMAX in Toronto sold only 32 tickets out of 372 capacity for 7:10PM show...

Pretty mad right now. I was planning on seeing X-men in 2D on saturday but my local theater pulled the showing just before we bought the tickets.

 

So now we're stuck with 3D. Ain't no 2D showing  

 

I don't like 3D

I forgot about FaF6, it had a great memorial day run back in 2013 too.

 

I live my life one weekend at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For that one weekend, I'm free.

The time has come. It is showtime.

So how's X-MEN selling in Portugal so far?? And what's the chances od CIVIL WAR actually doing better than both X-MEN and ALICE this weekend since it seems these 2 movies aren't exactly lighting up the box office world??

Civil War will do at best 25M during the whole weekend. Alice will do at worst 35M and X-Men at worst 70M. Zero chance buddy  

 

In Portugal, Apocalypse is following other European countries and dropped a bit from DoFP but it is doing fine. 

[mrqe93]

X-Men Apocalypse is looking good so far. 417 sold out of 479-seat UltraAVX screen for 7:40 show in Toronto

X-Men: Apocalypse was selling out tons of shows last weekend in IMAX here but this weekend it was replaced by Alice 2 and every show has been almost empty lol. And they have to show Alice 2 weeks in the format because TMNT2 will not be released in the format. Big lol.

[WrathOfHan]

Alice is 50M in my Derby, should i lower it?
