filmlover Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 At least August should have some high quality movies. New films from Kathryn Bigelow, Edgar Wright, and Steven Soderbergh is always a cause for celebration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Hoping for Valerian and Dunkirk to break out ... With what we know about the Nolan film, it still amazes me Warner sees Dunkirk as a summer tentpole. But conter programming can do wonders so maybe it will be a winning choice in the end.

Depends on whether you believe that demographic has seen more than their usual average by now and would suddenly stop once they've hit their usual limit. Or, if the films are appealing enough, they'll go anyway Really?? Man, I can't imagine just going to 5 or 6 movies a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he had a kid and he hasn't watched a movie in theaters for 4 years now. Different phases of life have different priorities for people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is up with Dunkirk? I have been gone for a few months. Did some new news surface? It looked pretty mainstream and like a solid hit to me. I mean not 200M+ hit but definitely over 150M.

NoobSaibot Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 5 hours ago, The Panda said: Bigger hits actually tend help films down the line because it exposes them to wider audiences with the trailers before the movies. People aren't going to skip out on a movie in May because they saw one in March. Competition effects more recent movies, as that's when the consumer is faced with a direct choice between movie A or B. This. Granted, I might not see the film until a few weeks later during a matinee, but if a film is interesting enough I'll eventually go see it.
