SPECTRE | 11/6/15 | Final Trailer on Page 126! | Twitter reactions coming in, STID 2.0?

I know you in essence shouldn't trust IMDB and whatnot but looks like on the SPECTRE boards there's a certain user in the know - blamed_thatcher. First noticed him back from when the theatrical trailer was announced, and he posted (correct!) details about it before its debut, and he knows quite a bit of stuff production wise regarding what was shot where, formats used etc.

Couple of interesting things:

1. only the PTS in Mexico was shot with spherical lenses as opposed to anamorphic - and hence, if Mendes still goes ahead with this, it will be the only sequence that will open up to IMAX's 1.9:1 aspect ratio (he says they won't though). Also IMAX cameras probably weren't used because none of the UK film labs can process 70mm IMAX footage.

2. There will be a final trailer this month (September).

even by imdb standards blamed_thatcher is a delusional fantasist

Pre order for Sep 28 on iTunes- song runs 4:38. Hopefully isn't cut down in the title sequence. https://itun.es/gb/-Hf39

What would be the BBFC rating?

What would be the BBFC rating?

12A probably - point is the classification will give us the runtime of the trailer.

[Hatebox]

What would be the BBFC rating?

 

The age rating for the UK. It'll almost certainly be a 12A.

Where did you find this?

Nice poster though, much better than the crappy blue bg.

Long Range Forecast: 'Spectre'

http://pro.boxoffice.com/featured_stories/2015-09-long-range-forecast-spectre

 

$96,000,000 $260,000,000

 

PROS:

 

- There's a ton of mainstream goodwill following the commercial and critical hit that was Skyfall. That's bound to help Spectre get off to a great start.

- Christoph Waltz as a Bond villain sounds like a winning combination to us.

- After a lackluster summer, Sony has a lot riding on this one and an aggressive marketing campaign is sure to happen.

- Reactions on Facebook and Twitter to the trailers have been positive.

 

CONS:

 

- If fans label the film as "not as good as Skyfall" that could hinder grosses.

- The impact of Star Wars anticipation could be felt pretty early in November. 

- Opening against The Peanuts Movie won't be easy. Families with young children may skip Spectre in order to take the whole family to the movies.

Too short legs IMO. I would give it 96/290 at least!

[RobinHood26]

BO.com predicts are spot on I think pretty much 

[snitch]

To be honest the marketing for me at least has been sub par. The trailers have been , dare i say.... mediocre.

Trailer 1 was really great IMO, trailer 2 was a bit too generic/'glorious Bond', I was really hoping they'd make it more interesting and keep with the teaser's mysterious tone instead of opting for the same option "look how this looks like a Bond movie".

Hope final trailer delivers. TV campaign is shaping up nicely, that spot from last night is fantastic.

$260m, hahaha no way.

I am really curious to know the financial details of what Sony really gets from the Bond movies.

 

Those two families are supposed to be very "difficult".

[MovieMan89]

This is hitting 100+ OW, I have no doubt. Its simply been too big of a year for OWs and the momentum from Skyfall makes this franchise a juggernaut again. Legs could go any which way though, so 260-280 is a pretty safe prediction. Will breeze past that though if WOM is good.

 

Btw, BO.com seems to have deeply deluded expectations for Peanuts judging by their predicts for it and the fact that they even list it as a threat to Spectre's OW. 100m DOM isn't even a lock for that one.
