blackspider Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Any chance THG stays in the top 3 for the 8th straight weekend? It only trailed TLAM by 100k on Thursday. A huge Friday increase and it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Craig Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 A female friend of mine and die hard Johnny Depp fan who had the day off texted me as I was getting off work a few hours ago.She saw a matinee of DS and said it was horrible. The campiness level was through the roof and 95% of the best moments were in the trailers. If it were $5 she might consider buying it, but only then.She then said she was catching the 6:45 Avengers, was already in the theater. I told her in 3hrs she'd forget she ever saw DS.Dark Shadows=toxic WOM is comingYou heard it hear first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the low 30m range for its OW is true, then 100m looks pretty unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackspider Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Depp and Burton were bound to have a misfire eventually. The marketing for DS didn't help either. It was practcally non-existent IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichWS Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Depp and Burton were bound to have a misfire eventually. The marketing for DS didn't help either. It was practcally non-existent IMO.It was certainly "existent"; I saw the endless TV spots and huge billboards everyday. It just didn't click. Tonally, it's a very odd movie and that's tough to market. I'd bet much of the general public just didn't know what to make of it. When people aren't sure, they generally stay away.
