Yeah I don't like 3D anymore but I also saw it in a Dolby theater and the sound was insane.

I watched in a small-screened theatre at the back seats and the sound was set quite low

 

Didn't get the full experience that's for sure.

I made a bad move changing my prediction from 4M to 5M this morning  

[CJohn]

RPO will barely crack the 50M over the 4 day weekend.

 

4.234 THEATERS lol oh well.

Anyone else feel Mark Rylance was channeling Tommy Wiseau with his hairstyle and delivery?

Back from RPO. Movie is a lot of fun for anyone that probably fits the demo that we all do here (movie/pop culture buffs). Spielberg’s most enjoyable big budget flick for me since Minority Report, no contest.

 

 Wasn’t convinced however that the movie is widely appealing to a casual audience - or more importantly, females in general. Ive said the marketing has looked so geeky, and that’s because the film absolutely is through and through. One of the geekiest big budget films I’ve ever seen, and I’m including the Wachowski’s films in that statement. Will be interesting to see what kind f a multi it has.

[That One Girl]

RPO is geeky if you look at all its references and shit but at its core it's a fun, enjoyable adventure movie with a basic premise.  A casual audience will be able to watch it with ease.

exactly.  while yes it's geeky, it's not as geeky as most are making it out to be.

[Avatree]

It's probably the geekiest mainstream film since WARCRAFT so it's doing fine by that measure.

I’ve heard it’s a little more tolerable than the first 2 but that isn’t saying much. I still can’t believe they made this a trilogy.

I think Spielberg made it less geeky than the book.

My derby number was always at 5m. 

[MovieMan89]

If RPO isn't a teenage boy's fangasm turned into a $200 million dollar film, than I don't know what it is. Not that I'm knocking it for being that mind you, but yeah wide casual appeal will be very surprising to me. 

 

Anyways, Spielberg blockbuster/popcorn flicks rankings anyone?

 

1. Raiders of the Lost Ark

2. Jurassic Park

3. Jaws

4. E.T.

5. Minority Report

6. Temple of Doom

7. Ready Player One

8. The Last Crusade

9. Tintin

10. Close Encounters

11. The BFG

12. War of the Worlds

13. The Lost World

14. Hook

15. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

[Avatree]

What are you lot whining about? RPO is doing amazingly well.

err, what? How many teenage boys have seen The Shining? The references are all for adults, everything is from the 70s and 80s because apparently in this parallel universe set in 2045, no new films were made in the last 60 years.

 

 

As for your list. How are you defining those? Just his genre movies? Because if you do it by which were expensive films made for wide audience then Jaws well that was made for about tree fiddy. If you do it by blockbuster success then Tintin has got to go.

 

But from those films:

 

1. Raiders

2. Last Crusade

3. War of the Worlds

4. Close Encounters

5. Jaws

6. ET

7. Jurassic Park

8. The Lost World

9. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

10. Ready Player One

11. Temple of Doom

12. Minority Report

 

Haven't seen BFG or Tintin and cant remember Hook although I have seen it.

 

Also you're forgetting Duel and Poltergeist

Well that's true, the pop culture references themselves skew very 80's, which could be a bit odd for a concept that otherwise seems like it would be a teen boy's fangasm. 

 

The movies are his ones I'd consider popcorn flicks, blockbusters in the spirit of the term not necessarily in budget or success. Saving Private Ryan or Lincoln were huge successes, but definitely wouldn't group them in that category.
