Looks like it's very difficult to take any solid conclusion on that $2.5M for The Martian

Posted by: FabioParme on Oct 02, 08:08 in response to RogerMore's post GRVTY did $1.4M in previews and had a $55.8M OW. NTSTL...

I still think $55M-plus won't happen, but I honestly have no clue. Looks like the more info you have ahead of a release makes it harder to predict the outcome.

Guessing OW a decade ago, when openers halted on Friday morning at HSX, was much more fun!

Wrap: Martian $2.5M Thursday {nm} Dales Oct 02, 07:48

Gah. Meant to include the link. Dales Oct 02, 07:48

Wow, kinda surprised by that. {nm} RollingThunder Oct 02, 07:50

That's kind of bad, right? FabioParme Oct 02, 07:55

Seems great to me to surpass Gravity by that much...and those previews started at 4pm. October has seen some very strong preview.... RollingThunder Oct 02, 07:58

And Fandango did say it was outselling Gravity, even though I have tread carefully with their reports lately. {nm} RollingThunder Oct 02, 08:00

I think the lack of 3D/IMAX will have a big impact on the receipts {nm} RamsFan2004 Oct 02, 08:00

MARTN has 3D. {nm} Antibody Oct 02, 08:52

But Gravity was a true 3D movie. Given a choice I wouldn't pay the premium for MARTN. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Oct 02, 08:57

The average moviegoer do not know the difference. {nm} Antibody Oct 02, 08:59

So given the choice they'll go for the cheaper option. {nm} hyperzeitgeist 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} RufusS Oct 02, 09:38

Gravity previews started at 4pm? {nm} ~JPV~ 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} RollingThunder 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 RogerMore Oct 02, 08:01

Should note that's 10pm+ for GRVTY (though also had extra benefit of 3D and IMAX) {nm} ~JPV~ Oct 02, 08:04

I don't think it's 'blasting off' like the link says {nm} RamsFan2004 Oct 02, 07:56

Lazy subbing, going for the obvious headline. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Oct 02, 08:02
