BOT Houston unite!  Let's help this movie out!

 

 

 

 

I'm in Houston! I would suggest the Santikos Palladium for the best experience in the Katy-ish area.

I just moved here to Katy two weeks ago.  I'm at Katy Mills 20 now.

 

It's getting Dolby in a few months...

Go to the Santikos Palladium, it's a better theater and every screen already has Dolby Cinema & Atmos. Some screens have recliners and VIP in theater dining!

We need to all sing that to @MovieMan89

Looks like someone doesn't understand how technology works. But have fun singing into your monitor anyways.

I spent 60 fucking dollars on 3 tickets to Office Christmas Party, a lame, unfunny, limp, mechanical "comedy." What a waste. Jennifer Aniston should retire.

Your attempts are not an event.

So what do we think the chances are that Disney decides to move the upcoming Han Solo film to December of 2018?  I know that Fox has tentatively put a marker there for Avatar 2, but who knows if they'll actually make that date.

 

Perhaps a better way of putting it is:  What's the number R1 needs to pull to force their hand?  Or at least make it a difficult decision?  550?  600?  525?

 

Or do we think that the chips have fallen in such a way that Disney is going to go ahead and release the Han Solo film in May of 2018, come hell or high water.

Porn is not allowed. Please keep all pics safe for work.

A million percent they will. That was always the plan. There will be annual releases until the franchise is beaten bloodier than Gareth Edwards' face in my dreams. 

 

It's what you all want, and it's what you get and there better not be any complaints. TAKE IT.

See, I'm conflicted on this.  Part of me thinks Disney and Fox want to play nice over Avatar Land.

 

But then part of me thinks that Disney sees the pile of money at the end of the rainbow and then thinks to themselves, "There are only common interests, not friendships in international relations businesses".

 

But then I think that they might worry that YHS will suffer with mindshare if they can't muscle A2 out of the way.

 

But then I think that they will worry about YHS showing up five months after Ep 8 debuts.

 

But then I think that all the Marvel movies can co-exist each year.

 

And then I realize very few of them regularly crack 500... 

 

Which gets me back to the beginning of the logic chain.

 

In a way, if R1 did somewhere between 400 and 450, it would lessen the pressure.  Disney might look things over and go, "Ok, not mega numbers then.  We can put YHS at a different part of the calendar, get our 300+ and call it a day."

 

Which is why I wanted to hear what others had to say.  Where on the logic chain I gave above do they think Disney will land.  And will the amount of money R1 pulls in affect the decision at all.

Its thirst knows no bounds. I need enough likes to be that guy who's in the same ballpark of being third fiddle to Chewy and Coolio and their race 

[BadAtGender]

A lot probably depends on how much Disney knows about the status of Avatar 2's production. If they think it's going to hit the release, they probably won't muscle for the date. Even without the shared interest, that's not a fight Disney wants; Cameron has shown multiple times not to underestimate his mass appeal. 

[Dementeleus]

I think both Disney and Fox are content to let their respective films get further through the production pipeline before making any sort of decision. 

[Agafin]

I dont think that the Han Solo movie will gross anywhere near RO's numbers. It's mostly a bone being thrown at the fans. 300m would be great for it. That's not worth moving it to December, especially with Avatar looming around

Though in T2's defense, there weren't as many 50m admissions back then and the population was much smaller. 

There were also no such things as Netflix, iTunes, smartphones, tablets, YouTube, 4K UHD TVs, and millions of other things people could use for entertainment, like they can today, so that point is moot.

[Hades]

I just saw the Vader scenes on Youtube. Is that it? Not sure why people are going nuts over it. I hope its not the best part of the film.
