Legion Again Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Tbf @SchumacherFTW, calling this series fan fiction was way out of line. I’m read so much HP fan fiction that was better than CoG 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure awareness was low, ScreenDaily confirmed it’s the widest WB release of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainbug Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Harry Potter fan fiction is the place on the internet where you simultanously want and DONT want to be. And yes, even the ones where Neville is Voldemorts son and Ron eats Hermiones parents are better than Crimes of Grindelwald. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm against it because I viscerally despised Crimes of Grindelwald like I didn't know was possible, and revel in the fact that it's paying for its sins. I've go no interest in watching anything further in this fan fiction series. You're still against it when this movie took the time to improve on CoG? Seems like more is going on with you with this film than just CoG with reactions this passionate...so visceral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say really, not sure how you would even go about measuring that. I feel like that’s just denial and soul searching after the surprising opening weekend results. I’ve seen the trailer in UK cinemas before pretty much every film since at least No Time to Die last October. Outside cinemas it’s been pushed very hard over the last month too, with billboards, bus ads, bus stop ads and TV spots everywhere. I was down in London a couple of weeks ago too and it was everywhere. The last film undeniably poisoned the well, there’s no other explanation for it cratering like this in a Harry Potter stronghold like the UK.

SchumacherFTW Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Just got back from seeing The Bad Guys, not a full house, but decently busy, seems like it's having a solid little run right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmFincher Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 What are we all thinking about the Northman? Just looked at my local Odeon and it's only getting 3/40 screenings this weekend and immediately dropping to 2 showings on the Sunday. Fantastic Beasts and Sonic are holding on to most of the screens and The Lost City/Operation Mincemeat also release this weekend in the UK. Feels like it will struggle to find an audience with those odds but I've seen a fair amount of advertising around, a few TV spots and a lot more bus ads than I expected.

I'm not expecting much tbh, if it can get close to £1m that's probably a success. My local has it on awful small screens during the day, awful mid sized screens in the evening, gonna try and catch a dolby show on the west end in the next week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I actually think TSOD underperforming is possibly a good thing in the long term because the franchise needs new blood going forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Operation Mincemeat is going straight to Netflix in America isn’t it? I’ve seen a lot of advertising, they even had a premiere. The Lost City will do well, the preview was busy and it’s being heavily advertised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't need any new blood. Most audiences and fans are loving the film, calling it the best of the three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most audiences and fans are loving the film, calling it the best of the three. Regardless, if they want to stop the audience haemorrhaging and bring back the general audiences that have abandoned it between CoG and TSoD, they’ll need to freshen it up somehow for the next one (if they move forward with it). There’s only so far you can coast relying on the core fans to show up. Edited April 13, 2022 by SnokesLegs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yates has done some great things, but it’s time for someone new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
