JonathanLB Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 The fact we have no early Tuesday numbers and frankly so little activity here Tuesday is confirmation of #NotAnEvent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 The event movie this year imo is still deadpool. 360m for an R rated movie everyone was convinced and hoping would flop ends up being one of the best received blockbusters of the year, more so than rogue one. People are still talking about that film, and surprisingly especially women. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 The event of the year clearly was Inferno. It's dom (34m) is less than Ouija 2's dom and Sully's ow (both at 35) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanLB Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Hahaha yeah ok. I loved Deadpool, it was awesome, but event movie it was not. Sleeper hit and fantastic movie though for sure. Rogue One will be remembered forever as part of a timeless franchise and Deadpool is ultimately just another comic book movie. A good one to be sure but let's not be silly.

That's like saying Back to the Future 3 will be remembered forever as part of a timeless franchise but any classic Eddie Murphy comedy from the 80's will be just another comedy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly more than Clones... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I don't see how Deadpool wasn't an event movie. A minor comic character that no one really paid attention to, and suddenly that movie exploded onto the scene, destroying the opening weekend record for February and finishing ahead of a movie about two much much more prominent and beloved comic characters, yes, that was an event movie. It came rather sudden and wasn't really something lots of people where looking forward to months and months in advance, but that doesn't make its release itself anything less of an event. I don't see how one can say that "people still talk about this film" though. I mean, sure, people might occasionally mention it, because that's true for most movies of decent size, but at this point it's more or less a thing of the past already. It didn't leave a huge enough mark to be anything more than the flavour of the month that was liked a lot at its time, though its rather unique style for a comic movie might lead to more anticipation when it comes to the (possible) sequel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I liked this movie when I was a kid and I see it got only 31% on RT. F*** Rotten then 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Deadpool: Destroys the February OW record. Destroys the R-rated movie OW record. 2nd biggest R rated movie of all time. #NotAnEvent Edited December 21, 2016 by grey ghost 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantasticBeasts Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 No Tuesday numbers yet? Hmm...what about 18.5m? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Totally random but I just revisited Pan's Labyrinth... Wowza. Fucking incredible. It'd been awhile. What the fuck happened to Del Toro since Labyrinth and The Golden Army? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrestrial Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 During the weekends there is a higher chance to get a visit, especially as it is actually the midths if the week and still rather early like 7:55 around New York, 4:55 in LA (both in the morning), and even earlier in Alaska... And BO hinting people work during the weekdays... (and partly live where it is already night again) As far as I remember, the time of day where the dailies get split up as 'belongs to day...' is not midnight. And... Might be still 6 hours+ till we get some (but during runs like that, outlets like deadline often tries to be the first even during weekdays nowadays,... so maybe...

I understand that but, whether for the right reasons or wrong reason, Menace and Sith were seen by an obscene number of people DOM, especially Menace. I imagine R1 will just about match or surpass Sith's admissions DOM though. I think Sith adjusts to something like $515M DOM though I could be mistaken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems as if you online fanboys don't care much for it bit the average movie goer does, the film has easily become the most quotable movie of the year, had very solid legs for what it was And if it's like Potc then that just adds to my point, correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Potc one of the best recieved movies amongst casual movie goers in 2003? There's a reason it's sequel was huge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't an event because the people not recognising it's stamp on this year are those who laughed at posters like me when we said it would break out. Now that they are wrong they have a hard time admitting it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
