I haven't, but I'm a big fan of its director, Ralph Bakshi.

It's really good, I was surprised actually cause my dad wanted to watch it cause he watched it back when he was my age but hadn't seen it since and I didn't really want to watch it.

 

But I really loved the connected-anthology of it, and while it was definitely a quick movie with not enough time to provide as much depth as I would have wanted, it's a pretty well-told story that's got a lot of really interesting elements to it.

Also while I was trying to stay off the Internet for IW spoilers I watched this really interesting movie called American Pop, anyone seen it?

I've seen it. It's a good look at popular music throughout the twentieth century, via the story of a Russian immigrant Jewish family. The rotoscope animation and soundtrack are top-notch, and there are some really striking images too. 

 

I also recommend checking out two others films from Bakshi, Heavy Traffic, and Wizards. Wizards in particular is quite a "trip".

I've heard of Wizards, but haven't seen either film you mentioned. But if the 'trip' taken in American Pop is any indication, I can imagine Wizards would get pretty crazy

It's basically a psychedelic animated fantasy film, with a lot of trippy visuals. It's also really crazy and entertaining.

You are acting like this is the first time a Marvel movie has made more than a SW movie. It's not even the first time this year.

Flixster score should pop up very soon

Holy crap you guys. Movie just ended. I am stunned!

Thursday preview #'s for this tentpole are hard to gauge with an estimated screen count between 3,000 and 4,474 tonight.  The amount of prints and showings at each theater should vary.  The MCU has never smashed records with the previews so maybe locations are not preparing for an all night full capacity like Star Wars, Twilight, and Harry Potter.  If Avengers Infinity War continues strong over the night, locations will most likely add showings or maybe order more prints which would grow the Thursday preview #. 

I think the numbers over the Fri-Sun weekend for IW should result from screens that are as booked as any other film that is vying for 100 million + opening weekend.

You can blame Rian Johnson all you want but even if you ignore that Star Wars: The Clone Wars only doing $35 million total at the box office means every single Marvel movie has outgrossed a theater released Star Wars branded product, AOTC's box office gross is $302 million. Even if you adjust it to $477 million, other Marvel movies have done more than that.

I don't get it.  It's not like Marvel is DC.  They are giants at the box office.  And I wouldn't celebrate it making more than TLJ yet.  Legs will be typical sequel type legs for Avengers.  I don't see it getting more than a 2.4X.

is Star Wars The Last Jedi making any record on blu ray?

 

I hope an update for the previews is added in the next 30 min.

I mean no disrespect to DC, but let's face it, domestically, nothing touches the Avengers when they are all together, except for SW.

It's funny in any form, except in the movie where you realize it's, ya know, actually a part of the movie.

There were $50m+ in pre-sales so I think they were somewhat prepared.  The NYC area had as of late afternoon 661 showings - 200 more than CW or BP - increasing over 200 in the last 3 days.  The Empire 25 alone in NYC had 52 showings
