Krissykins Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Yeh even McDonalds (!) and supermarkets are closing here. Still managed to find a great Chinese restaurant to go out for a big dinner with my family on Monday evening though to celebrate a promotion. Don’t tell the Monarchists 😅 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Super Pets and Minions' totals does show how Lightyear was flat out rejected by the public. I know TGM is the clear winner but Elvis' £27m total is impressive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Just booked tickets for Dont Worry Darling for next Friday night and it’s already busy. Could have a decent opening here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnokesLegs Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Just saw Clerks 3 in a practically deserted screen, it was literally me and my partner, and 3 others in one of the cinemas biggest screens. It’s very much just for Kevin Smith fans, so I’m not surprised it’s not really crossing over to general audiences, but it’s a shame it’s probably going to tank because it’s a return to form for Smith after the risible Jay & Silent Bob Reboot (I’m a Kev fan, but that one tested me…). It’s genuinely funny and surprisingly heartfelt as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s genuinely funny and surprisingly heartfelt as well. The thing with Kevin Smith is that he so very specifically said goodbye to his "youth" filmmaking with Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. But then made Clerks 2. And Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. And Clerks 3. And at least 2 self-indulgent niche horror-adjacent movies with his mates. How many times can you "say goodbye" to characters that are only taking a handful of years between each movie? He got a genuine bad break with Jersey Girl. It was a pretty good movie that was unfairly shredded reputationally and financially by being in the eye of the Bennifer soap storm. But it sometimes seems like Smith took one bit of bad fortune and accepted it as a sign to never grow up or mature. Tickets have been available for Don't Worry Darling for a while now. The marketing has been as ever-present as anything this year other than perhaps Nope. Might well have worked for it, also think there is a campness factor - at least in the trailer - that plays well here. Woman King is having a one-off early screening next week and it seems packed to a degree I haven't seen in a while. Might be just because its a single screening though.

Smith should do more dramatic work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can actually deliver great work when he leaves behind the dick jokes, I rewatched Jersey Girl a few years back and it surprised me just how good it was. It was unfairly caught up in all the Bennifer hysteria and most people wrote it off, but it’s actually really good with a strong performance from Ben Affleck.

I loved it, but I can totally understand why it wouldn’t break out, it’s very much for Kevin Smith fans only, I can only imagine that people going into it cold would be totally lost.

Krissykins Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 No film over £1m, not a surprise this weekend. At least we have Don’t Worry Darling, Ticket to Paradise and Avatar opening this week. Going to the unlimited preview of The Woman King tonight. Can’t wait.

The Dark Alfred Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 TGM caught TLJ earlier than thought. Last mission accomplished. Everything is gravy from now on, just need to build a nice cushion from TITANIC, which is getting another re-release next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) Is this the first time a Cineworld unlimited screening has been reported in the dailies? (The Woman King was incredible) Could be that it’s just noticeable because the box office is so low just now.

I think one of the other chains charged for tickets which would explain it, I think it was Odeon, Cineworld and Showcase all showing it last night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
