I don't like the tone of those guys.

 

Nervous and excited.

They are one-upping Dunkirk. I expect even better reviews...

They know they got a good product.

 

Debuting before Nolan too.

 

Besson is a God.

Thursday night showings are up at my theater. 2D is going into an average auditorium (like the weekend) while 3D is in the 4th smallest. The auditorium 3D is in is the smallest screen size at the theater, so I won't see it on Thursday night lol

Well yeah, they (there's also https://twitter.com/EricDSnider/status/884487130625355777) are understandably pissed at now having 4 and a half hours to write edit and polish up a review compared to like, 9 days

@CJohn TOMATO LAW.  IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

They probably figure Dunkirk is gonna crowd out all the buzz if they wait till next week and gonna have to try and get ahead now that Dunkirk looks to get strong reviews.

 

Sounds like reviewers weren't prepared however.

Date in this case doesn't matter.

If it ends up being a slow trickle of reviews, I'll be fine with that too.  Slowly building buzz one by one.

[Hiccup21]

Very nervous for reviews. They will kind of make or break the film. Good reviews will definitely give it the push it needs and the studio confidence to market the f out of this over the next 2 weeks.

Wow. EuropaCorp is getting desperate. Social media reactions not creating the buzz they want. Dunkirk buzz is taking off. Now they hope good reviews will save their stupid no good dumb decision to release the movie against Dunkirk. Fools.

[MrPink]

I expect it to get decent reviews.

But it's a very stupid move: stand against Nolan.

Great news! This shows confidence, Valerian isn't afraid of Dunkirk.

...sarcasm?

I'd much rather see this in IMAX than Dunkirk, coz i know i'm getting good 3D in IMAX. Thanks, Nolan!

How?  The Twitter reactions will have died down a bit by tonight, and it's a perfect time for Valerian to drop reviews before Nolan does on Friday.  It helps create buzz, and they'll push their high RT score in marketing if it works.

I wish. I think it'll get a good RT score, but I think it's going to bomb anyways. It's hard to create buzz for your good science fiction movie when Nolan's latest masterpiece movie, one where the social media buzz are building it up as an event one you have to see in theaters to experience, is eating up all the attention.
