I grew up with the original Friday the Thirteenth, Halloween, Conan the Barbarian, Alien and a number of other hard R movies. I grew up just fine lol

 

Right, but that isn't what the discussion is about.

Considering the terrible reviews, months of bad buzz, and the negative will from reception to BvS, the fact that Squad is heading for around 140 OW is insanity. There's clearly massive interest in the DCCU movies, I'll say that much. This brand and these characters have real power. Imagine if they actually had good buzz and good reviews. BvS could have done 185. This could have done 160. It's amazing that something so big feels so much like "what could have been," tbh. 

 

They did heavily market The Joker. Suicide Squad was basically sold as a Batman-esque film, and it worked. Now lets see if DC can sell their other characters well.

Box Office Pro and BOM are really expecting this to be heavily front loaded to an extreme amount. One has it at $135M and the other at $138M now. Like damn.

MY PARKING LOT REPORT FROM MY THEATER:

 

I'd say about 95% full.  Seems to be doing very well for Saturday matinee showings

Could stay flat minus previews. Thinking it drops to about $40M today though.

Looking at Fandango there aren't many sellout for this afternoon or evening yet in NYC where there were quite a lot yesterday around this time. 

 

I would love to know how many vouchers T-Mobile gave away for Friday.  Were Warcraft numbers ever leaked?

Keep in mind that I'm young still:

When I was like 12/13, I was seeing shit like This is the End, Neighbors, Gone Girl, 22/21 Jump Street, We're the Millers, Boyhood, Chef, Birdman, etc.

 

Still?! You're talking about movies from a couple years ago.

Some parking lots are more important than others.

I have to say its not good for the genre that so many comic book films are seen as 'meh' or 'more of the same' this year. It really  feeds into the narrative of a cbm  crash but as long as the films are having these big openings the quality probably  won't get better.

Interesting. But yea I don't know about that T-Mobile thing. I know it had an effect though because on Tuesday it was killing everything and then it dropped by 35 sets a minute on Wednesday.

I'm not a person easily wooed by cute animal pics either. FYI I laughed at the end of Marley & Me.

 

I know exactly the type of animals that wow you. Oddly enough, they usually come in human skinned pairs

I was 9 my sister was 7 and our parents took us to see Beverly Hills Cop.  That movie is filled f bombs, has a scene in a strip club and ends with a violent shoot out

If y'all wanna complain about parking lots...

 

The parking lot at our theatre isn't exactly big, so it fills up nearly every Friday/Saturday/Tuesday. And every night we get complaints from people who don't want to park too far away. Last night I was in box office and some lady ran out of her car, which she left in the middle of the road, and no word of a lie started yelling at me about how she had just driven from her home and now did not want to have to walk from the next parking lot over to see a movie.

The adults decision I am mad about is them being socially unaware and shitting all over the experience for the other adults at the R rated movie. 

 

If someone wants to let their kids watch Don't Breathe or Conjuring 2 or Deadpool or Fifty Shades, that is their decision but do it at home.  Leave the adult community space that is a theater during an R rated movie to the people it was intended for.  

I"ll take them to show them what the movie theater is like, and to let them know I"ll take my kid when he's about 10 to an R-rated movie of his choice but it has to be under one condition no porn or fifty shades bullshit plus that shit isn't even that bad I've seen that movie and it was about as painful as going to the dentist or waiting in line at the BMV.
