Applause at a HUGO show

Posted by: Latinman4747 on Nov 25, 20:11 in response to Latinman4747's post Hugo will gain steam over the weekend; reviews are great,...

It is rare to have applause at a showing of any movie...I went to see Hugo tonight for the 2nd time (1st time was an exhib screening) and yes applause...and yes families with children (10 and 12 year olds who loved the film...

this film will cross over to all audiences despite the hard sell it is...

Also one of my theatres in a good sophisticated market...#1 film tonight: Hugo  #2: Muppets  #3: Twilight...so Twilight is fading, Muppets very strong and Hugo gaining steam....I project close to $100 M in the US.........

GO SEE HUGO, YOU WILL LOVW IT....AVATAR QUALITY

Hugo will gain steam over the weekend; reviews are great, word of mouth even better. At $25 / share it is a bargain. {nm} Latinman4747 Nov 25, 05:30

Again...this is verging on market manipulation. Right now, high estimates have it at $12 million, which means it's overpriced. TheWeekendWarrior Nov 25, 05:42

Agreed, feels like manipulation (Arthur and Muppets have similar great reviews) {nm} numbersix_99 Nov 25, 05:43

Huh, with the new #s, Looks like he may be right though {nm} islander Nov 25, 06:07

Nope... this is standard for Thanksgiving. Hugo is clearly going to appeal to older audiences due to Scorsese TheWeekendWarrior Nov 25, 06:16

Either way... if you're going to make a statement like the above... show your math. (which one can do now we have Thurs #s) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 25, 06:21

Manipulation.....and HUGO is also the biggest casualty of war this thanksgiving, {nm} gogreen Nov 25, 05:46

My belief that this film with the strong reviews, good word of mouth and... Latinman4747 Nov 25, 08:16

Right, but it is explicitly against the HSX Code of Conduct to make these calls to action. {nm} dsbman Nov 25, 10:14

Weekend Warrior says only older audiences due to Scorsese...WOW...what an insult to Scorsese....this film is a worldwide hit...Yes... Latinman4747 Nov 25, 14:03

Scorsese's name-appeal to older audiences won't turn off younger ones, yet that's the implied logic ???!! {nm} Rocky13 Nov 25, 14:55

I never said this movie was only getting older audiences cause of Scorsese... TheWeekendWarrior Nov 26, 06:11

You project 100 mil? Based on what. This is blatant and unsubstanciated...again. You know, you could try educating us vs this approach. {nm} PVL Admin (Rocket123) Nov 26, 00:42

There are films like Sideways, Kings Speech, Slumdog Millionaire, Descendants, that platform release and end up with a strong gross. Latinman4747 Nov 26, 04:09
