I thought Blade Runner's 3D was canned for IMAX?

Maybe if you have read everything you would have understand. I was talking about Portugal specifically.

The IMAX website clearly says "IMAX 2D Experience" for Kingsman, "IMAX 3D Experience" for Geostorm and TLJ, and just "The IMAX Experience" for BR2049. Guessing they will give the option of either format based on that.

Disney seems to concentrate too much of their marketing either on children's cable channels (i.e. their own Disney Channel, Panda, SIC K) or on children's morning broadcasts. Their bad. A complete revamp of their marketing team would be welcome.

 

Tbh though, I'm not shocked at all that Beasts beat Rogue One. Again, Star Wars is not that much of a phenomenom here, but on the other hand, Harry Potter is THE shit. That is basically our own Star Wars. I was on the world launch of the Cursed Child book in Porto last year..... the jungle of human mass present was comparable to a pop star concert. I'm not kidding - it was insanity. Beasts breaking out massively was all but guaranteed imo.

 

Baywatch doing great is INEXCUSABLE, though.

With Disney, there is also the 5 seconds spots problem which doesn't affect other distributors

 

Blame the giant marketing campaign and Dwayne being a super draw for that

Last month's announcement said it'll only be in 2D http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/IMAX/theaters/2d/3D/dunkirk/imax-set-to-focus-less-on-3d-movies-in-favor-of-more-2d-releases/39651

Their website updated today, so it might be a pushback as well. We will probably know as the release date nears.

I am dreading for the moment WB releases the actuals for Annabelle and Dunkirk already

Saw Scott Mendelson mention this, and I was thinking of it earlier as well, but the Alien move ended up being beneficial to only Annabelle. When Covfefe moved, it caused a lot of release dates to move around, and literally every movie underperformed, flopped or outright tanked. The main movies which were affected by the move were Covfefe, Life, Baywatch, King Arthur, Nut Job, Emoji, Dark Tower, Annabelle and Kingsman. With Kingsman's fate awaited, every other movie apart from Annabelle which was part of the release date musical chairs started by Alien didn't end up well. Still surprised Valerian didn't take that opportunity to move to the first weekend of August during that entire shakeup, might have helped it not see 3 consecutive 62% drops.

Well, more stupidity from them it is And if you're gonna do 5 second spots, FLASH SOME TITS AND PUSSY SO THAT PEOPLE REMEMBER. Tattoo the movie's title on some nips and everybody will know fo-su. Hell, I've seen the TV channels use outdoors marketing via planes to promote soap operas XD Can't Disney do something like that with their unlimited money supplies? Anyway...

 

Dammit Paramount... the one time where you have a hit in hands, and it has to be Baywatch... over here 

 

On a side note, what if Disney was actually was purposefully jinxing their own Portuguese numbers just because they feel sorry for every other studio and want to give them a little nugget?

I remember the TV spots for Winter Soldier being the Cap Shield flying onto the screen and showing the title It had no scenes from the actual movie but hey, it had the title tattoed onto something

 

At this point I believe someone from inside is sabotaging them. I mean... I remember seeing a 5 seconds TV spot where the only thing happening was McQueen on the beach and a female character saying "Está a comer-me" while burying herself deeper in the sand...
