BK007 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Audiences agree with critics more than the other way around. Hundreds of reviews come out on RT for every movie these days that the corroIation with the public is undeniable. I haven't seen KTS yet but I think audiences were pissed off by KTS because it was apparently very different than what was advertised and audiences hate being deceived.One could argue that they should market it to those who would like it. The Drive audience, for example.Andrew Dominik isn't going to be directing anything if this keeps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acab Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Having seen Killing Them Softly i can easily understand the F it got from the audience.I didn't hate it but i was disappointed. There were a bunch of people that left long before the movie ended. The main problem is that it has no story. Yes the performances are great, some will like the style (i didn't, i thought it was too much for no reason at all), some will like the message (i found it interesting) but the basic sin is that it's a 30 minutes plot stretched to 90. People talk way too much and the movie just doesn't seem to go anywhere especially the Gadolfini character. I found the movie interesting bvut people around me where pissed.Of course with a 15m budget it will be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonytr87 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Anyone else getting the feeling that Weinstein botched the release/marketing for Silver Linings? This a film that could be a mainstream moneymaker and yet the buzz doesn't seem to be there among general audiences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Anyone else getting the feeling that Weinstein botched the release/marketing for Silver Linings? This a film that could be a mainstream moneymaker and yet the buzz doesn't seem to be there among general audiences.Having seen the movie I`d say it`s a tough sell because it jumps from drama to comedy to romantic comedy to sports fans movie,etc. You have a speech about basball and ballroom dance. This is hard to sell. It`s seemingly for everyone but girls were yawning during certain character`s awesome baseball speech. It also asks you to laugh and than instantly stop laughing because something happens that isn`t fun anymore, it`s very serious, and than after the shocker comes something that`s fun and basically there`s tons of stuff that is fun though it really isn`t and you don`t feel comfortable with yourself for finding it funny. Because it tells a story about very serious shit in a funny way. Not mainstream at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Silver Linings totally apeals to mainstream, I don't know anyone who doesn't love it, it's just a difficult one to market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Hopefully Weinstein gets SLP in over 1000 theaters next weekend. As perfect an opportunity as the movie is gonna have in these circumstances. I'd also expect the BP nom to help it substantially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Ben Fritz @benfritz "Killing Them Softly" CinemaScore: F. Retweeted by Ray Subers Ouch! Holy Fuck. I expected the film to be divisive for audiences but...wow. Now I'm curious about how it would have done in its original cut (150ish minutes) compared to the theatrical cut (97 minutes). Still seeing it next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Does it really need 150 minutes if people are saying it doesn't even deserve 97? lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) Does KMS 'feel' like The Assassination of Jesse James? That was a film that had very little plot but benefited from the generous run time. Edited December 1, 2012 by Hatebox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainbowtrout Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Saw SLP for the second time and I'm surprised it isn't getting great WOM. The ending that I HATED HATED HATED should be tailor made for good box office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
