Movies

I was actually thinking that, too.

Posted by: Ruthian23 on Aug 26, 19:20 in response to TheWeekendWarrior's post If no one can go out this weekend, next weekend could do...

I'm not sure, though, if it'd be better for the openers next week or for the "legs" of the openers this week (or both.) Will people go to see the movies from this week since they couldn't see them last week, or will they just skip this week's movies and go straight to next week's? I'd imagine it'll be a mix, but if that happens, I'd think it'd be more of the latter since the movies that came out this week seemed to have pretty lukewarm excitement levels.

Woah. DL: Hurricane Irene Blowing Away Box Office: “Business Is In The Crapper Right Now” Paul2k Aug 26, 18:39

Estimates have THELP winning the weekend with only 11 mill?! Wha??? {nm} Paul2k Aug 26, 18:40

THR agrees in reporting that estimators are saying business could be down 10-20% because of Irene. Paul2k Aug 26, 18:42

And THR is posting actual numbers: CLMBA possible second with less than 10 mil, AFRAD and MIBRO may only reach 6-7 mil. Paul2k Aug 26, 18:48

he-he. nikki is saying that LBESS directed CLMBA... ouch... {nm} Oleg Max Aug 26, 18:48

WOW! that's really bad for Dark. From what I hear it's a solid film and the traiers look good, but once again that R rating becomes the kiss wrongturn687 Aug 26, 18:54

its just a very bad wknd to release a movie. this one and/or the labor day one could even be worse... Oleg Max Aug 26, 19:01

If no one can go out this weekend, next weekend could do much bigger business than normal as people make up for lost entertainment. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 26, 19:11

very interesting but such a WRONG idea about Labor Day wknd. Oleg Max Aug 26, 19:56

*rings bell* And.... FIGHT! :P (just kidding) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 26, 20:30

Based on the fact that many if not most NYC and NorthEast theaters may be closed over the next two days. TheWeekendWarrior Aug 26, 23:15

You're not even taking into account that in 2009, The Final Destination was one of the biggest pre-Labor Day weekend openers TheWeekendWarrior Aug 26, 23:23

The movies opening this weekend were never going to do that well to begin with, bad weather didn't affect them that much. {nm} HarryWarden Aug 26, 23:11

I say all three new releases tonight. Enjoyed each to varying degrees. Didn't hate any of them. Liked AFRAD the best. {nm} HarryWarden Aug 26, 22:56
