John Marston Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 WTF for The Lorax? I mean it's not like it is supposed to be a great film or anything, I guess people are hungry for some family entertainment right now.Also, I noticed there were more 2D showings than 3D at the theaters near me, that was a smart move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieGuyKyle16 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Well let me just say when I saw Project X there was no way a kid under 17 was getting into that theater. When I bought my ticket, had to show my ID. When I entered the hallway to the theaters, had to show my ID. When I entered the theater itself, had to show my Ticket stub. Never saw that much security for a R rated movie before. Also one more thing I have to say............................................................................................WTF LORAX?? Everyone must of been excited about Danny Devito. Only thing I could think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Hopefully The Lorax gets adjusted up a tiny bit to beat 300 for the second highest March opening ever and beat Shrek 4 for the 5th highest animated movie opening ever. It only needs 186k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecstasy Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Great for Universal So true. We were just discussing Universal in the Thursday Numbers thread or one of the weekday threads. LOL at thinking that the next big film Uni would be Bourne Legacy. What a difference a day makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
