rockNrollaDIM Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Sweet.It seems obvious to me now... Titanic is a non-event. I'm still shocked at how little people care about this re-release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Don't like that AR is in front of Titanic. It better pass AR soon or 2nd weekend drop won't be good.AR made 1.2 mill more on Sunday than Titanic. So it really doesn't matter if it is in front of it right now. It closed the gap significantly.

I'm still shocked at how little people care about this re-release.I don't think that is necessarily true. I just think we overestimated how many people would want to spend 15 bucks on it again.

MasterDodsen Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Damn, these are out already? Sweet hold for THG. Titanic is decent. This movie will be building more buzz for the actual anniversary and I feel its second weekend drop will be very good. Somewhere around 35% is my guess.

rockNrollaDIM Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 About 40%, that was Thursday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) AR made 1.2 mill more on Sunday than Titanic. So it really doesn't matter if it is in front of it right now. It closed the gap significantly.That has more to do with the type of movie it is (type of demographics, runtime), not its legs. Or in other words, it didn't drop 47% on sunday because it has bad legs, nor did it drop only 37% on monday because it has good legs.I think more telling is the fact that AR opened on friday while Titanic did on wednesday (some of the upfront demand was taken care of on wed and thu), AR's friday was only 2m higher than Titanic's yet it's still in front if it.I may be wrong but to me that doesn't spell good legs. Unless AR drops like -30% this weekend. Edited April 10, 2012 by Elessar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldenfirefly Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I think the 3D killed Titanic. I think people wanted to see it on a big 2D screen, not a 3D one. The thought of spending over 3 hours wearing 3D glasses is ... not an enjoyable one... Great hold for THG ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldenfirefly Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 3D had been going downhill for a long time now. I think enough people watched movies with 3D to know what it is like, and that they generally don't like it. And they know what Titanic is like as well. Put the two together... I mean, even Baumer wanted to re-watch Titanic several times, but in 2D. And he was so mad when there wasn't any 2D screen showing at all. It was all 3D ...

I didn't like wearing 3D glasses for 3.5 hours. I love the movie but it was giving me a bit of a headache after a while, so i took them off. It didn't take away from the enjoyment of the film. I simply don't understand why they didn't give us the 2D option. That really did piss me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75Live Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I thought Titanic was going to show in both 2D and 3DThey did, but very little 2D showing. Just as an example, 2 of the theaters I go to had only one 2D showing, not screen, I literally mean it played in 2D one time during the whole day and it was around 10 am.

Elessar Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I think a 2D only re-release would have done less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 I think a 2D only re-release would have done less.But they should of had some 2D showings. Not exclusively 2D, but at least some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackspider Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Great Monday for THG. I predicted a 40-45% drop so it did right around what I was expecting. The Tuesday and wednesday drops will definitely be interesting. I don't know what we can expect from those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Titanic was on HBO just days before the re-release. What's the incentive to spend $17 on a ticket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTX Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Great Monday for THG. I predicted a 40-45% drop so it did right around what I was expecting. The Tuesday and wednesday drops will definitely be interesting. I don't know what we can expect from those.Blades of Glory fell 30% on Tuesday, but discount Tuesdays didn't exist back then. We may well see less than 20% drop for THG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
