The reason for Black Adam selling as many copies on DVD as it has is likely more to do with supermarkets selling it for £2.99 at the checkout and hoping that clueless customers take a punt on it without knowing how bad the film is.

I’m pretty sure DVD was still the top selling physical format again last year too, the mind boggles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top 5 on DVD were very male heavy actually: Black Adam John Wick Elvis Oppenheimer Top Gun Maverick. Whereas Barbie and No Hard Feelings feature in the top 5 for digital and digital rentals.

Make sense, my dad can't tell whether something is HD or not so anything above dvd is lost on him. I've got a belligerent friend that genuinely doesn't understand the difference between Blu-ray and dvd though, that's mainly because he's an idiot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he have an undiagnosed eye condition? 😂 To be fair, my mum is the same, I regularly walk in on her watching the SD channels on Sky even though there’s a HD variant (which is usually much easier to find on the guide!), and she genuinely can’t tell the difference somehow.

UKBoxOffice Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 is Mean Girls looking really quiet to anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnokesLegs Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 35 minutes ago, UKBoxOffice said: is Mean Girls looking really quiet to anyone else? Yup, same here. Surprising because the UK usually laps up a musical, regardless of quality. It also seems to be in smaller to mid-size screens. Maybe more people than anticipated have the same reaction as me towards the film. I love the original Mean Girls, but a musical version is an instant turn off.

Allanheimer Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 39 minutes ago, UKBoxOffice said: is Mean Girls looking really quiet to anyone else? My local seems fine so far. Daytime shows look fairly dead but the latest showing at 8pm on opening day is already over 50% occupancy. Still just under a week out so still too early to tell, opening weekend listings are only for premium format so I guess there’s real urgency for presales. I’m not sure why Paramount delayed it 5 days here though and opted for a Wednesday in the middle of January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKBoxOffice Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 They're hiding it's a musical in the trailers though. I honestly don't think general audiences know it is a musical, they just think it is a direct remake, which in itself is off-putting because how can you top the original. They should be playing up that it's a musical to differentiate it 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 The Glasgow film theatre has sell outs all weekend for Poor Things. Which isn’t too surprising. What’s a bit more surprising is my showing tonight at Cineworld is packed. Easily winning the weekend surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Anyone else having issues with Cineworld today? Been trying for ages to book a ticket for One Life, and keep getting error code 8 in the app and "SeatsUnavailable" on the website. Tried contacting Cineworld, but no luck on phone, twitter or email. I'm half hour away and don't want to make the trip in person only to be turned away! Also tried other showings of other films... All the same issue. It never lets you go beyond ticket selection.

Krissykins Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I really enjoyed Poor Things, lots of big laughs. One couple walked out, but that was the only walk out. Its raunchy, inappropriate, hilarious and actually a really positive story. Highly recommend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
