Indiewire/HarrisX : Two-Thirds of U.S. Adults Would Rather Wait to Watch Movies on Streaming Peterlee Mar 14, 12:40

well, a recent HarrisX poll also states that Independent voters support Robert F. Kennedy Jr. more than Biden..... Peterlee Mar 14, 12:44

Their poltical polls are terrible. Worst than Rasmussen. But the movie poll doesnt seem unrealistic IMO Moviesnob Mar 14, 12:50

the length (or shortness, lately) of the window might have a lot to do with their preferences {nm} co-bro Mar 14, 13:00

oh i agree, but saying most people want to watch movies in the pay 1 window isnt new (but then the clickbait headline wouldnt work) Moviesnob Mar 14, 13:10

Do they have the actual survey questions and raw results somewhere? Abraxas Mar 14, 13:28

Not even remotely a valid poll. "This survey was conducted online by HarrisX from March 11-12, 2024. It captured responses from more than terraformingearth Mar 15, 06:39

ECB: Pre-sales on GodzillaXKong are quite good. I would expect to see at least a $65m+ opening weekend based on the first day of sales. Oleg_Max Mar 14, 10:45

Anyone heard anything on Ghostbusters from the BOT crowd? I'm presuming not so great considering the crickets {nm} notfabio Mar 14, 10:56

ECB guess/prediction from few days ago was (see inside): Oleg_Max Mar 14, 11:09

You'd think he'll learn first days of fanboy sales may not be sustainable after saying DUNE2 opening $100M! {nm} Antibody Mar 14, 11:30

Doesn't seem to be in 70mm IMAX? That's surprising. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 14, 12:36

Not really, it's not going to have legs to justify the physical prints (even DUNE had less than half the 70mm screens of Opie) {nm} notfabio Mar 14, 13:03

Looks absolutely horrible. {nm} notfabio Mar 14, 08:11

i think you're being too nice {nm} Moviesnob Mar 14, 09:15

I was originally going to write unforgivably horrible, that was probably closer to the mark. {nm} notfabio Mar 14, 09:37

This is why the movie doesn't stand any sort of chance with critics, reviews. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 15, 06:56

Looking at box office patterns, why are Tuesdays the best weekday? Mon, Wed, Thu look ~ =, with Thu often the lowest. What causes Tue bump? {nm} terraformingearth Mar 14, 07:14

Theaters Discount General Admission on Tuesdays-- More people attend as a result {nm} mxwizard1 Mar 14, 07:16

Most circuits run Discount Tuesday programs which draws increased attendance... wolfiemozart Mar 14, 07:18

So if enough more people attend that total $ goes up, & presumably concessions as well, why don't they try discounts on Monday & Wednesday? {nm} terraformingearth Mar 14, 07:21

Then it wouldn't be special any more. Like why not have Taco Monday and Taco Wednesday as well. {nm} Antibody Mar 14, 08:04

Theaters already offer matinee discounts everyday. {nm} Antibody Mar 14, 08:05

I don't have objections to that. {nm} terraformingearth Mar 14, 08:16

You wouldn't get a net increase, but flatten out Tuesday instead to the same level as Monday and Wednesday. {nm} Antibody Mar 14, 08:27

Studios also limit the types and frequency of ticketing discounts exhibitors can run per their licensing agreements {nm} wolfiemozart Mar 14, 08:33

The unintended corollary is that when I see a movie on a day besides discount Tuesdays, I end up overspending on tacos. {nm} Abraxas Mar 14, 10:14

He actually liked Godzilla King of the Monsters from what I remember. {nm} notfabio Mar 13, 14:51

Yeah, he mentioned that in the replies I think. Jay_Beezy Mar 13, 14:57
