Wrap: Martian $2.5M Thursday {nm} Oct 02, 07:48
Gah. Meant to include the link. Oct 02, 07:48
Wow, kinda surprised by that. {nm} Oct 02, 07:50
That's kind of bad, right? Oct 02, 07:55
And Fandango did say it was outselling Gravity, even though I have tread carefully with their reports lately. {nm} Oct 02, 08:00
I think the lack of 3D/IMAX will have a big impact on the receipts {nm} Oct 02, 08:00
MARTN has 3D. {nm} Oct 02, 08:52
But Gravity was a true 3D movie. Given a choice I wouldn't pay the premium for MARTN. {nm} Oct 02, 08:57
The average moviegoer do not know the difference. {nm} Oct 02, 08:59
So given the choice they'll go for the cheaper option. {nm} Oct 02, 09:03

The 3D is good too on The Martian (at least the not on earth bits are). Framestore worked on both films. {nm} Oct 02, 09:38
Gravity previews started at 4pm? {nm} Oct 02, 08:00
Sorry, 10pm. Was just taking the info from the DL article and they had a typo of 4pm on there first. {nm} Oct 02, 08:02
GRVTY did $1.4M in previews and had a $55.8M OW. NTSTL made $2.7M on Thursday (+ another $2M or so in Tue/Wed sneaks) and did $47.5M Oct 02, 08:01
Should note that's 10pm+ for GRVTY (though also had extra benefit of 3D and IMAX) {nm} Oct 02, 08:04
Looks like it's very difficult to take any solid conclusion on that $2.5M for The Martian Oct 02, 08:08
I don't think it's 'blasting off' like the link says {nm} Oct 02, 07:56
Lazy subbing, going for the obvious headline. {nm} Oct 02, 08:02
