W: Blade Runner 2 [BLAD2] gets 1/12/18 release date RazorHawk Feb 18, 09:48

Odd choice for release date. {nm} Antibody Feb 18, 09:54

winter is the new summer {nm} slipping jimmy Feb 18, 10:24

Just one month after STAR8, and I'm sure there'll be a KHART or another AFRAM comedy that weekend. {nm} Antibody Feb 18, 10:30

Fifty Shades Lighter FTW {nm} AFRAM The African American Fund Feb 18, 10:37

starring michael ealy? {nm} adrenalin112 Feb 18, 10:55

dang. you don't normally see 'paper-bag test' humor on the HSX... {nm} CSBD Feb 18, 11:13

Not unless you cut the eye-holes out first {nm} RamsFan2004 Feb 18, 11:32

#rimshot {nm} Dorfman Feb 18, 14:58

not much overlap in those demos {nm} slipping jimmy Feb 18, 10:37

STAR8 may still have a hold on IMAX screens. {nm} Antibody Feb 18, 10:41

Not all of them. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Feb 18, 10:42

IMAX grosses fell off the face of the Earth for STAR7 by the 1/18 equivalent (why IMAX allowed Revenant on some screens) so it will be fine. {nm} notfabio Feb 18, 10:46

unless Ep. VIII is actually good {nm} slipping jimmy Feb 18, 10:49

VII was received extremely well by the masses {nm} Moviesnob Feb 18, 11:00

it would have had much longer legs if the story was anywhere near as good as the OTs {nm} slipping jimmy Feb 18, 11:21

i disagree. you and I might have thought it was ****e, but its postrack and cinemascore scores were very high {nm} Moviesnob Feb 18, 11:27

it was alright and i get why it was popular with fans and their kids. but given past performance of the other holiday champs, it should have slipping jimmy Feb 18, 11:35

I dont think its fair to compare it to other Dec releases. it was something entirely new {nm} Moviesnob Feb 18, 11:45

A multiplier of 916/248 = 3.7 and rising is great, better than the two Hobbits that opened on Fri 3.48 and 3.58. Antibody Feb 18, 11:48

yeah but those movies were *awful* {nm} slipping jimmy Feb 18, 11:53

Comparing STAR7 multiplier to Titanic's and Avatar's multiplier is like comparing apples to not aranges but water. magicdreamer Feb 18, 15:21

this was meant to be a reply for slipping jimmy post 2 down from here {nm} magicdreamer Feb 18, 16:15

Ridiculous that we're complaining the all-time domestic champ didn't have strong enough legs... RupertPupkin Feb 18, 12:53

not when you compare it to Titanic and Avatar's holiday multipliers (20.92 and 9.73) {nm} slipping jimmy Feb 18, 13:39

Titanic OW was 28m, Avatar OW 77 mil. So if STAR7 had OW of 80m and then hit 900m you'd be impressed? It hit 900mil that's impressive no {nm} JDolphin Feb 18, 18:28

matter how it got there {nm} JDolphin Feb 18, 18:28

They can split showtimes if it holds better, but it's very rare even great films hold in IMAX past two weeks. notfabio Feb 18, 11:06

Mmm...tough call: Another LCD comedy or the sequel to one of the greatest movies of all time. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Feb 18, 10:41

The rare Anti joke. Well done! {nm} Willroast Feb 18, 11:10
