But if I had to give you a number, I'd say it ends with about 56. Okay that's what I thought too but didn't know if I was reaching lol I think they can each do about another $10M a piece, which would be fantastic for horror this summer. Between these two movies, The Purge and Lights Out (which is getting really good reviews) it's been an excellent summer for horror. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he says, "Their damn movie is being played. Might as well have people actually see it." I mean exactly. There are... lots of theatres that would do that. It's just the principle of Disney trying to take away the perk that bother me. Part of the reason staff get free movies is so that they can actually have opinions on what they're selling to people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I'm confused... Does just apply to printing a free ticket stub? Or, is someone at the movie theater actually monitoring employees like a hawk? Why wouldn't you still able to watch anything you want sans a ticket? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if Disney catches them trying to break the rules, they'll never show Disney movies again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard the hours at the Regal by me are just incredibly awful Outside of free movies and dealing with clueless people at the box office it sounds like an awful job.

JohnnyGossamer Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Disney has spies sitting around at random theaters nationwide? How would they know if they didn't pay aside from checking for stubs or counting folks in seats? Seems like it's pretty easy to get around it.

Well Disney needs all the money it can get. It has to budget out how they're going to pay all those critics somehow. You and your movie theater buddies will just have to suffer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Where are IDR's and The Shallows TC? Or where they just not reported yet? I'm guessing that's what it is. Just found it odd all other films had them come out lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Poor BFG. One of the saddest BO runs in recent memory. A24 should really just expand The Lobster back a hundred theaters or so. Its PTA has been rising every weekend for the past month even with miniscule theater drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 6 hours ago, jb007 said: Pets performance is amazing. Looks to be the 7th $300m+ movie of the year. Wow. And there's still 3-4 other films with a chance at $300 million+ after that. Rogue One and Moana should happen. Suicide Squad could happen. Fantastic Beasts is a longshot and depends on OW size and WOM. Other than those 4, Bourne 5, Passengers and Sing are the only films I could see doing it. With how lopsided this year has been, 14 $300 million+ DOM grossers and 0 $200-299 million DOM grossers would be in line with January-June 2016 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 For everyone looking forward to Lights Out, plenty of advance screening passes just came online for Monday: https://wbtickets.com/main/national_campaign/bGlnaHRzb3V0c2FuZGJlcmc= Lots of cities included @Dexter of Suburbia - San Diego is there too.

All that shit you have to clean up........ The cleaning isn't so bad. It's just popcorn really, with the odd case of pop spill or someone having an... accident in the washroom. But honestly someone I work with also works at the grocery store up the street and he says the cleaning is so my header here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
