SchumacherFTW Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 If I can find a reachable 2D show of happy feet I'll go, but leave after seeing the Looney Tunes cartoon. Not paying £1.50 for dancing penguins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Happy Feet 2 has received a lot of promotion but I don't it'll do that well especially as PIB comes out the week after then Alvin 3. Arthur Christmas has done incredible but I think it's making most of its money on weekends which is understandable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Big fat fail for Moneyball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I don't think it was promoted at all and the subject matter isn't likely to appeal to British audiences. Tintin has had solid legs although it helps that its the only other family film apart from AC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 The thing ive noticed with AC, is that there is no midweek traction whatsoever. It's strange even for a family film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 yes it is doing really badly midweek, but Sony won't let exhibitors just show it the weekend! Seriously? It's getting to the point where a normal kids film would start becoming a weekend only thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 i know. i've been in the business 7 years and i've never known a distributor insist on a children's film showing for 4 straight weeks outside of holidays. usually after 2 weeks or 3 at most they let them show just at the weekend if you want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Thats just them being greedy, like Fox and all their crazy Star Wars clauses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I imagine they want to try and make as much money as possible before HF2, Puss in Boots, Hugo and Alvin. I've noticed that unlike previous years the two blockbusters Sherlock Holmes and Mission Impossible are not in 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has been rated 18, that may hurt its box office potential as I assumed it would be 15. Given the popularity of the books and to a less extent the Swedish films, I think it should be successful over Christmas and January.

SchumacherFTW Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 It was always going to be an 18, the Swedish version was as well. It all pertains to the rape scene, which knowing fincher will be even more difficult to watch than the Swedish version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
