Dolby Cinema. First time I went was a few weeks ago to see FB. Blown away by the sound. Also in 2D which was nice. IMAX Laser 3D is always solid, but it didn't add that much to the film honestly.

 

3D sucks, but your IMAX has the Dunkirk Prologue.

While it's true I don't personally know Edwards and thereby can't know his intent for sure, that is how his filmmaking makes his intent come off to me. 

 

Entirely fair.

Giacchino's score has no pun titles  Another negative to his meh score.

5th UPDATE,Friday Noon: For a sequel in December, Rogue One is off to a fantastic start, and given its momentum and positive word of mouth, it’s a movie that moviegoers will gradually make their way to during the holiday season, even if they’re not out in ultimate force this weekend, but still, with a projected weekend between $140M-$145M at 4,157 theaters, that’s pretty damn good. Currently, Friday looks like it’s in the high $60M range, including $29M from last night.

 

Elsewhere, Warner Bros./New Line’s Collateral Beauty is looking like a case of the box office ulgies: Pained by 13% Rotten Tomatoes reviews, it’s looking at delivering Will Smith his lowest wide release opening of his career with $7.5M-$8M at 3,028 theaters (that’s lower than $10.5M that Concussion made). This is according to industry estimates, not Warner Bros. There’s more than Rogue One to blame here.

Actually the 3D is always pretty good in Laser. Bright and sharp, and handles movement extremely well. Still, unless it's a must-see in 3D I could do without. But yes, the Dunkirk prologue would have been worth any trouble with the 3D.

Way, way too early, but high 60's would be very good.

How big are the Dolby Cinema screens? Similar to LieMAX and Regal's RPX?

Yeah, LieMAX size. Great projector though, very comparable (maybe better?) to the IMAX Laser Projector. So much better than average PLF quality. Plus, the theater is optimized for Atmos sound.

Reading now!  

 

(The selection includes an occasional something by Bowie or the Beatles; this movie winks at adults with real music the way that Pixar winks at adults with good writing.)

They're projecting a $7.5-8M opening for Collateral Beauty. Embarrassing.

[WrathOfHan]

(In a nod to its target audience, however, most were culled from the last five years.)

 

Ehrlich is going HAM on this movie

If it's that low right now, maybe sub-5m is possible.

Sounds very nice, especially with ATMOS sound.

On a $36mil budget that's actually pretty decent.

Remember that number doesn't include Thursday previews.

Yeah, we're getting Dolby upgrade in one of our theaters, and it's dual laser projectors and Atmos sound, so I'm going to be living in that theater.

The horrible reviews completely killed it. I decided to stay away because I figured I wouldn't like it and don't have $12 to waste.

 

Passengers must be sweating right now.

Damn you Will Smith.  I knew I should have gone even lower
