One of my favorite theatrical experiences was my best friend and I seeing Pineapple Express. Saturday night, opening weekend and everyone else was watching The Dark Knight for the God-knows-how-manieth time at that multplex. It's us, a few other people our age scattered throughout the 200 seat room... and an elderly couple sitting nice and quiet up front. Besides what a blast we had with the film itself, they were a hoot. Walked out after it ended and couldn't help but hear their conversation. HUSBAND: Well, that was the stupidest movie I've ever seen... WIFE: (Proudly) I LIKED IT! Hahahaha one of my best theater experiences recently was my second screening of IT. One of the big jump scare moments happened and I heard a loud noise and this person a row behind me loudly say "Shit! There goes my popcorn. Yep it's gone ya'll" as it quieted down. I was waiting to see how the crowd would react to that scene and they did not let me down lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WB should put the extended DC back in theaters at the end of the month and market it. People will come back (including me). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Openings like this make you start to lose interest in domestic box office. Well I guess there was It at least Edited October 7, 2017 by John Marston 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and a cinemascore that had screening with fans of the first....), I imagine that score will go down by weekend ends if it is updated. It is beautiful but quite slow without a really rewarding ending like they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakiyyah6 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) I was hoping for 21-22mil and got 14mil instead. That's bad. It's not a mystery why these numbers are low. I way over predicted it and I'm not pretending that the numbers are a mystery. Blade Runner is a niche thing and obviously the film didn't look eye catching enough to people. I liked the second trailer but it obviously didn't move the needle enough. Don't see what's so interesting about My Little Pony's opening weekend. The Mountains Between Us did lame numbers. It looked lame so not shocking. So much for American Made having good legs. Edited October 7, 2017 by Zakiyyah6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCKillswitch123 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Seriously, a 10M real Friday? Wow, that's........ I tried to maintain myself in check about expectations, and even I am disappointed. I guess saying 40M+ is a lock so much to myself totally jinxed it - which is what I do, I jinx things and people because I'm the embodiment of bad luck. Sorry y'all BUT, then again, luck is for losers, winners don't need it, soooooo.... Anyway, let's see if the internal multiplier is stronger than that (or if DHD's Friday estimates are totally off here), or we have a major letdown in hands here, for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Oooh so Blade Runner 2049 misses tracking. Thats more than I expected for Pony and Mountain. Yay for IT. I don’t think Kingsman can get to $100m domestic now, quite a surprise a few weeks ago no one was predicting that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked it as a film and I am not a fan of the original. At all. But this ain't remotely shocking. Sequelizing an already-expensive 35 year-old box-office flop that nobody outside of genre and film dweebs like us remember to the tune of $200M+ What did anyone seriously... honestly... expect? And again, I dug 2049 on its own merits. Best to celebrate this film even existing. Edited October 7, 2017 by filmnerdjamie 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walbergh said he started is production company because the only script he ever saw were only for roles DiCaprio passed, were offered to Damon that passed, then to him.

Barnack Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 28 minutes ago, Darth Lehnsherr said: Correct me if I'm wrong but Alcon Entertainment is the studio that co-financed Blade Runner 2049 with Sony and not WB right? And they only get the domestic grosses while Sony gets all the foreign. WB is only the distributor in North America. From I what I understand if is a 50/50 split with Sony and Alcon (they probably share all revenus with usually sony paying themselves first a little bit), WB is distributing domestic in exchange of a distributing fee (say 20% or something of the domestic gross) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCKillswitch123 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Props to @filmnerdjamie. He nailed the Kingsman predicts, and he nailed his expectation on BR2049 underperforming. Despite the great wom (it's still rocking it on Flixster), it's still a slow paced 2:40+ min. movie and that's not an easy watch for anybody. I don't know if it's gonna have great legs (I can hope, if only because of what Arrival did last year), but.... damn. (Since you can see the future, what are the three big tentpoles of Nov. and Dec. - Ragnarok, Justice League and The Last Jedi - gonna do? ) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
