MovieMan89 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Since when is it not possible for a popular kiddies movie to increase 35-50% on saturday?And have a low sunday dropSince it's a third installment. Check out TS3 and Shrek the Third. One dropped 10% on its opening Saturday, the other only increased 20%. Animated sequels don't play the same as original animation.

Sims Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Absolute best case for Mad3 with a 21M Friday is probably 66M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Shrek 4 opend to 20,8 mill on friday and did 70 mill OWRemember thatThat seems to be the exception to the rule. By and large animated sequels don't seem to have as good of Sat increases as regular animated movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Just learned the "real" IMAX around here is only playing 3D version of Prometheus.. BOO! Guess I'll have to settle for regular 2D or Liemax 2D (not sure if AMC is doing IMAX 3D or 2D)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I imagine most of the IMAXes (if not all) are playing it in 3D. Did AVATAR have 2D IMAX shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Boo to you for not seeing it in Imax 3d! It's worth it!Fuck that! 3D can suck a big one. I've officially ended it with the format. Only future exception being Avatar 2, since Avatar 1 is the only 3D film I've ever sat through without it ruining the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 It gives you some sense, yes. But it's so vague that it can be spun in almost any direction. Plus you're only getting the people who feel emphatically enough to tweet about a movie and hash-tag it. Ok, but if the people feel emphatically enough to tweet about it won't they be emphatic enough to tell their social circle in person too? And if a person feels relatively indifferent enough to *not* tweet about it, doesn't that mean they are also indifferent to talk about it IRL too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
