Movies

For Spielberg I think Jaws, Indy, Back to the Future, or the serious stuff Empire of the Sun, Schindlers List, etc - Abrams disssuades me so

Posted by: JDolphin on Jun 09, 13:43 in response to islander's post What is it with this film heading to low OW? Dont talk...

no I see no reason to see this film.

Also, I saw my 1st commercial for SUPER8 yesterday, yes 1st - I don't know where they were showing before.  And now I have zero interest in seeing this movie.  That maybe Abrams style but not mine. 

If this is meant to remind people of ET or Poltergeist or something along that line then count me out, I don't like those films (ok never say Poltergest but can't stand that stuff).  Yes I didn't like ET, haven't seen it since a kid, but way too schmaltzy and I remember boring. 

SUPR8 is now 24% on Fandango so obviously what they're doing is working {nm} secretstalker Jun 09, 10:10

't the biggest new opener be at 25% irregardless of promotion? {nm} Antibody Jun 09, 10:16

Sure, but it's better than the 8% where it was at a couple days ago. {nm} secretstalker Jun 09, 10:49

that is a 300% increase in 1 day. {nm} midianx Jun 09, 11:12

It wasn't playing in theaters a couple of days ago. {nm} Antibody Jun 09, 11:27

You forgot to say that PAND2 is at 22%, IMO pretty bad sells for SUPR8 gaules Jun 09, 10:22

Yep !!!!!! {nm} gogreen Jun 09, 10:39

Decent enough jump from yesterday. Remember, most that planned on seeing this over the weekend will not have much interest or awareness of ShawnMR Jun 09, 10:48

What is it with this film heading to low OW? Dont talk awareness or marketing. Its Abrams. Its Speilberg. Are movie goers: islander Jun 09, 10:25

Most of the people interested are too afraid they will see the Dragon Tattoo poster if they actually go to the theater. {nm} BionicMoron Jun 09, 10:29

Hopefully, right next to the Alvin and Tin-Tin posters;) {nm} HarryWarden Jun 09, 12:26

The moviegoer that would be nostalgic for '80s SSPIE films is 40+, not one to rush out opening weekend. {nm} Antibody Jun 09, 10:30

with so many kiddie films and comic book adapts, not enough films i like get made. if 40+ white males would get off their islander Jun 09, 10:37

SUPR8 is hardly original, it's derivative of SSPIE films which is playing to your nostalgia. {nm} Antibody Jun 09, 10:41

24 is pretty low for a film that opens in IMAX today. The fact that Panda is at 22 is even worse. {nm} filmboy20 Jun 09, 10:38

The release change was way too late to have a significant effect. With the mixed interest from teens, Thu box office will be weak {nm} ShawnMR Jun 09, 10:54

Where do you see this % info on their page? Thanks in advance {nm} gogreen Jun 09, 10:59

BOG has it at 32M OW {nm} gogreen Jun 09, 10:59

But not working well. I get the feeling you really want to see this succeed. Am I right? {nm} Rolling_Thunder Jun 09, 11:03

Nope. I don't care either way. Just sharing the info. {nm} secretstalker Jun 09, 11:11

That's pretty low for a movie the day before its regular opening {nm} xiayun Jun 09, 12:06

Especially with nothing else big opening. {nm} BionicMoron Jun 09, 12:13
