Still cant believe that BOM still lists WD as BV  the distribution arm hasn't been called that in like close enough to 10 years.

haha not like you see this either

 

 

BV was setup in about the 50's to handle the distribution of all the various Disney companies for  Theatrical, home ent and TV it was dropped  around 2007 and everything was just renamed Disney for distribution , BOM is the only place can recall that hasn't transitioned the distribution name

Btw Tarzan deserves its 3x multiplier. Like legitimately I was surprised it's one of the best of the summer despite some glaring issues

 

I will eat crow for every comment in its original thread gladly

Love it!

I just saw Tarzan and my theater was panicking because their credit card readers are all down and "Sausage Party is a hard hard R" their quote not mine. Seriously here

 

 

How does policing that work for people who buy on line?  The person with the bar code reader checks ID while people are waiting to enter the theater?

It was a stunning movie. I only don't agree with the multiplier because better movies had done worst, but I'm glad it did very well and exceeded everyone's expectations.

Or better yet how does that policing work for those who watch the movie online pirated?

Pirated or licensed, once it hits the internet and DVDs there's no real policing it unless parents have strict parental controls on their computers or something (and I'm sure every kid has a friend whose parents aren't strict.)  But that isn't the movie theater's problem.

Could you explain this to me? Are you taking the stance that Nine Lives has better word of mouth? Or are you commenting on how little variance there is for movies that don't make any money?

I was making a joke. I hope no one actually took my comment seriously...

Yeah, I was just wondering which joke. Suicide Squad, Nine Lives, or both?

My nearest theater has a Sausage Party "warning" poster at the box office too!

I think things like this always comes back to the parents / guardians because kids will always find away to circumvent these rules whether it is fake ID's, sneaking into theaters, watching the movies online pirated and even using credit cards to purchase tickets online to these movies they aren't allowed to be watching in the first place due to age restrictions. The parents ends up being the ultimate police in the end which just makes the social responsibility of the theaters sort of a formality than anything else.

Mine was originally a joke/rhetorical question, but I agree with you when it comes down to it.

The fact that Nine Lives has had better drops. I was being sarcastic because from what I've heard that film is fucking awful

Those theaters are wisely covering their asses from stupid parents that take their kids to Sausage Party.

[UrosepsisFace]

I'm just hoping when I'm old and demented, my kids will kindly take me to movies like Sausage Party.

Covering their asses? The film is rated-R. The theaters won't get into trouble for parents being fucking ignorant.

A number of R rated movies are 'barely' R.  I think I read that SS was going to be R but they changed something (it might have been another film.)  This, on the other hand, was going to be NC17 if they didn't change something.  Parents thinking it just has stronger language or something, or is basically what is shown in trailers (which are PG) could be surprised.  But I agree; if you take a young kid to an R movie you should do your homework.

Reminds me of the parents who took their kids to see Deadpool and were mad because it's a super hero movie and it should be for kids. Like shut up. It's rated R. You're kid wouldn't be able to watch it unless your ass brought them to the theater. Although in this case why are you taking your kid to see a film called Sausage Party? The name of the film should give it all away.....

What I'm expecting out of Sausage Party:  Ridiculous Team America like sequences of sex and violence but far less political and more for the stoner crowd.  I think I'm going to enjoy it but certain friends of mine will hype it to a ridiculous degree.
