Twitter much? People who previewed DIST9 did.
[DIST9] trended on twitter within hours after a few select sneak previews for critics (who loved it) and stars (who gushed immediately on twitter to their flocks).
It may be low budget, no stars, 3rd world nation. But it IS sci-fi thriller & it's gotten bigger buzz and better reviews than [GIJOE], which was not a good short after June 1.
My bet is that it matches or beats GIJOE's weekend take within the 1st week, which is saying alot for a $20M indie.
What are everyones thoughts on [DIST9]? Worth waiting until release to see if it goes up, or take out now?? {nm} on Aug 11, 04:29
What are your thoughts? {nm} on Aug 11, 05:17
Twitter much? People who previewed DIST9 did. on Aug 11, 10:15
No stars, first time feature director, takes place in a third world country... Won't do too much. on Aug 11, 07:09
Why did this post come above my entry in the tree? Anyhew, Twitter caters to a young & hip demo. DIST9 needs lots of other demos to make it. {nm} on Aug 11, 11:21
Those are my thoughts, too. TGDRS is the only one this weekend that I can't make a decision on. {nm} on Aug 11, 09:54
This is annoying - posts enter the tree at random places.. It gets all juggled, makes little sense now. {nm} on Aug 11, 12:48
Dont know, which is why I am asking. Probably will go down in value if I had to take a punt!! {nm} on Aug 12, 03:03
interesting premise- but from what I saw ( the trailer ) it spells TV-MOV.IE. A definite short at this hsx-price. {nm} on Aug 11, 10:25
Seeing it tonight. Really looking forward to it. I'll try to report in either later tonight or tomorrow. {nm} on Aug 11, 11:44
I think it'll be fine, but you can't sit in one place 'round here. Everything is like that band Panic! At The Disco. {nm} on Aug 11, 14:37
The critics so far (13) are loving it: 100% on RT. I have read three separate reviews and I cannot wait for Friday. on Aug 11, 05:18
Tons of indie movies get 90-100% reviews on RT, yet make less than 2M {nm} on Aug 11, 07:07
I don't think knowledge of this movie is as widespread as people think... it should do very well in certain areas, not so well in others. on Aug 11, 06:00
I should perform well in areas with a heavy extraterrestrial population, like Area 51, Quebec, most of San Francisco. {nm} on Aug 11, 06:20
I'm in New Mexico right now... I should ask the locals if they've heard of it. {nm} on Aug 11, 06:46
There for business or pleasure? {nm} on Aug 11, 06:55
Or stalking purposes, maybe? {nm} on Aug 11, 08:46
This obsessive behavior of his is getting out of control. He needs an intervention. {nm} on Aug 11, 08:47
We have only a vague notion of what is a district. It is used for electoral - though we prefer to say "comté"- or judiciary purposes. on Aug 11, 07:55
I think I find the term "anglo" offensive. Not sure why yet, but I think I should. {nm} on Aug 11, 08:52
I use it as a diminutive for "anglophones". We say "franco" all the time (as in La Francofête, etc.) Next time i will "English speaking". on Aug 11, 08:58
I appreciate you're ethno-sensitivity. {nm} on Aug 11, 09:03
i see a lot of ads for it on tv concidering it's got no big name stars in it. i'll most likely see it this friday. {nm} on Aug 11, 06:09
Someone else said yesterday that in their opinion it's the kind of movie the traders at HSX always overestimate the interest for. I agree. on Aug 11, 06:11
Europe here, so no idea on media coverage, but - based on the trailer - I do not see on Aug 11, 06:48
A Peter Jackson film - Its a definite long {nm} on Aug 11, 06:52
But he's just the exec. producer on this one, right? {nm} on Aug 11, 06:56
No, he's the actual producer and was intimately involved. WETA did effects as well. {nm} on Aug 11, 10:06
Ok. But still not a Peter Jackson film in the same way LOTR was though. {nm} on Aug 11, 10:19
Your logic being.. ? {nm} on Aug 11, 07:06
That logic does not resemble our earth logic {nm} on Aug 11, 08:04
He must be one of them? Throw him into that district, I say.. ;-) {nm} on Aug 11, 12:50
wasnt kkong a pretty big short? {nm} on Aug 11, 07:18
It was, and that one had star wattage (Naomi, ehrm... Watts), a *massive* marketing campaign and, uhm. *Super Well Known, Familiar Story* !! on Aug 11, 07:31
His last movie is the biggest short in at least 7 years (KKONG -H$59.49) {nm} on Aug 11, 07:25
$18 million for the weekend, de-lists with around $42 - $45 price. Total bomb! {nm} on Aug 11, 07:12
Not a chance. This will have stunningly good legs. {nm} on Aug 11, 10:06
Like those aliens in District 9? They seem to be able to jump very high and far.. on Aug 11, 12:51
They are trying to catch lightning in a bottle. We'll see who gets shocked in the end, won't we? {nm} on Aug 11, 07:32
Let's say you catch lightning. It's in the bottle. What do you do with it? Put it on the mantle above the fireplace next to grandma's ashes? {nm} on Aug 11, 09:05
Quite obviously, if they catch their metaphorical lightning, they spend it on a sequel a la Blair Witch 2, Matrix 2 & 3...etc. {nm} on Aug 11, 10:53
Ah Blair Witch 2. Masterpiece of modern cinema. {nm} on Aug 11, 10:59
Better than the 1st one. It didn't make me motion sick. {nm} on Aug 11, 12:17
Less snot, too {nm} on Aug 11, 18:28
