Passengers | Chris Pratt, Jennifer Lawrence | Dec 21, 2016 | Trailer pg 70

[amelin]

This movie has been so much fun to watch with a big audience. Everyone gets so into it. One time there was a guy who was yelling

 

Spoiler

Fishburne's ID number at the screen when Aurora was trying to remember it

 

and a big round of applause at the end, and about two seconds later a girl behind me exclaiming "it promotes rape culture!", her boyfriend going "what?!" and the two of them launching into the debate immediately. Also, every time I've gone to see it (three times),

 

Spoiler

people have reacted pretty strongly to the scene where she nearly kills him. Winces and gasps all around. I was pretty shocked myself when I first saw it, I didn't quite expect the movie to go that far.

 

[A District 3 Engineer]

Well, in my first screening...

 

Spoiler

it was full and I heard mostly gasping but there were also some ouching, laughing and even some people cheering up Aurora (yeah, venezuelans are means af)

 

And about that other scene...

 

Spoiler

I did exactly the same! lol 2317! 2317 you moron!

LOL!!  I LOVE that!!!

In the screenplay, one way they demonstrated the passage of time was by Jim drinking his way through the cocktail inventory Arthur knew how to prepare.

 

PassengersMovie has released drink recipes for those who want to try it themselves. (But not as many)

 

 

 

[Fullbuster]

Pretty good start in Brazil :

Looks like it's gonna be a tough challenge to reach 100M.

[JennaJ]

The weekend was weaker than expected for pretty much everything because of extreme weather conditions in several parts of the country.

I really hope it can hold well next weekend and make up some ground. I just worry it's going to lose a lot of screens this week.

 

Guess we'll see.

This weekend was comparatively low for everyone due to weather. More significantly Passengers is still considerably ahead in screen count. Should be in the 90s by next week then just has to coast out its run.

Sony will do everything to push it over 100M.

[Mockingjay Raphael]

Finally watched it.

 

Should I feel bad for stanning for this couple?  

[baumer]

Lots of us liked it. Nothing to be ashamed about.

I'm hoping the storm impacted it this weekend and that it will bounce back somewhat next weekend.  Of course, theater counts will come into play.

SPOILER ALERT

 

here is a video interview with Jon Spaihts, the screenwriter discussing how the script changed during production and the changes to the ending.
