baumer Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 I see.Do you happen to know what is the main complaint? Did people find it boring, or confusing?Not sure yet. I haven't been paying close attention to the complaints because in essence those would be spoilers for me. I'm seeing it tonight so I want to go in knowing nothing.

Chewy Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 At the very least movies aren't flopping left and right at the moment, so that's good 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 The first weekend with 2 50M+ openers since the Wanted/Wall-E combo.Let's just remember this is very early and we have no idea who this clown is reporting the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 They keep forgetting Pirates since it doesn't fit the narrative. I don't even remember The Pirtes. There's a difference between big budget studio animation and some indie like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Old Tele Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Anecdotal evidence alert: people at my work who normally would NEVER see a geek/genre/horror/sci-fi movie are going to see PROMETHEUS tonight, so it's definitely captured some interest in the older (30s-40s) crowd. It'll be interesting to see what they think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackO Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I think counting matinee grosses of a film like Prometheus is like watching a pot of hot water boil. There is no point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanboy Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 If Madagascar opens to 70M and Brave doesn't, I swear. :angry:But hopefully this is a sign of epic things to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Madagascar hitting 65-70m OW will be epic. Some had already written it off for some reason. There hasn't been an animation in months.Lorax hit 70m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
