And considering how low both RTC and MS on this past week's chick flicks, they're clearly not able to gauge that audience. {nm}
Mtc priest 18 & brides 11 {nm} May 09, 11:07
That's really disappointing for brides. It's such a funny movie. {nm} May 09, 11:08
I'm surprised. I'll blame the marketing cause if it was my movie, i would have rolled the dice on it {nm} May 09, 11:09
No headlining talent. Apatow fatigue. K Wig doesn't have a real following at all. She is a marginal name. {nm} May 09, 11:12
could have said the same thing about a number of big comedy hits in recent years {nm} May 09, 11:51
The Hangover for one. {nm} May 09, 11:56
Could have said Apatow fatigue about Hangover? Only if you were a fool. {nm} May 09, 12:51
only a small percentage of audience members know which movies Apatow produces. {nm} May 09, 12:58
This {nm} May 09, 14:20
How is there "Apatow fatigue"? He hasn't produced a movie since last year and then one more the year before that. {nm} May 09, 13:02
People are tired of him man. You are pretty out of touch. Get out from behind your cpu. Talk to people. They'll tell you. {nm} May 09, 15:49
dude.... i agree with secretstalker ... i dont think there is an apatow fatigue.... {nm} May 12, 16:50
I'll be stubborn and take the over...well over...though the MTC < RS rule is disconcerting {nm} May 09, 11:12
Hopefully it makes enough then to stay in theaters long enough for legs to kick in. {nm} May 09, 11:33
Wow. Shouldn't these numbers be reversed??? {nm} May 09, 11:12
okay, i will gladly start eating my humble crow pie. never would have thought Brides would be tracking so low. {nm} May 09, 11:12
That is basically inflation adjusted sweetest thing ow {nm} May 09, 11:12
Wow on brides, but something borrowed is the same thing, and the trailer actually looked better.... {nm} May 09, 11:16
are their sneaks out this week to generate buzz? {nm} May 09, 11:18
*there {nm} May 09, 11:18
Universal does regular promo screenings of most of their decent movies and this has been playing to packed houses. {nm} May 09, 11:43
well that should help. {nm} May 09, 11:58
As I said last week, the response at the screening I was at was on par with Superbad. {nm} May 09, 12:00
Geena Davis? {nm} May 09, 15:37
more bs? Rights?? It's a friggin' free marketplace... {nm} May 09, 18:03
JUMPB and STBRW will eat into bride's audience , nothing surprising {nm} May 09, 11:29
i'm calling bull**** on MTC... I've seen numbers and they're higher than for this past weekend's offerings May 09, 11:32
MTC was low on both Borrowed and Broom this past weekend. When you see "numbers", are they all different colors? j/k {nm} May 09, 11:34
And considering how low both RTC and MS on this past week's chick flicks, they're clearly not able to gauge that audience. May 09, 11:37
What methods do they use to come up with these numbers? May 09, 15:57
Maybe, but the tv ads are really, really, really atrocious. There's not a single funny thing shown. May 09, 11:37
That's because as with the best R-rated comedies, you can't show the funniest things in commercials. May 09, 11:41
True enough in theory, but the best of 'em like Hangover or Wedding Crashers May 09, 12:00
Fantastic. Hopefully Bridesmaids is a huge failure. It looks atrocious and offers nothing for about 50% of the population. May 09, 14:34
Neither does FFUR5. Didn't stop it being a hit - oh wait, did you mean the other 50% {nm} May 09, 15:45
Harry Warden - have you ever enjoyed a film that features women as the leading characters May 09, 15:56
I liked Pride and Prejudice. I hate rom-coms (because they're terribly predictable) so that eliminates most options. {nm} May 09, 16:28
Liked Jane Eyre too. {nm} May 09, 16:30
I was asked last week which rom-coms I liked and I could not name one from the last five years May 10, 15:46
This movie reminds me of 9 to 5--I know, R rating, no stars, still it has a similar empowerment feel to it {nm} May 09, 17:24
Over-screening is always a concern; think Kick-Ass and Scott Pilgrim {nm} May 09, 12:58
Not when a movie doesn't already have a built-in audience (as those two did) and needs help. {nm} May 09, 17:19
Those two suffered more from illegal downloads than over-screening... May 13, 21:35
Last week's openers are not good comparisons as this is rated R; also remember Prom {nm} May 09, 12:57
I doubt *I'll* ever see it.. (Wrong kind of legs you're talking about here - I'm less interested in those BO ones.. ;-)) {nm} May 09, 18:05
thanks for that - it's important to make sure women know what their real value in society is. May 12, 20:21
MTC tagging [BRDSM] [PRIES] {nm} May 10, 18:02
Teenagers are idiots and Priest will win an undeserved weekend. May 11, 22:45
crazy... Bridesmaids is effing great!!! May 13, 03:28
