Movies

There are always some films the game overlooks: unusual release patterns, IMAX-only documentaries, other niche market films (Hindi films).

Sometimes I think documentaries get into our market because of a starbond for a narrator or narrators.  I don't know when the current agitprop piece under discussion was announced or first advertised; I think there would have been an IPO had a starbond been involved.

We want Hilary Clinton movies ipo. {nm} mike255 Jul 24, 15:03

According to ERC it made 3.7 million in wide release. But hey! The Lovers and the Despot IPO's tomorrow!!! {nm} DanU Jul 24, 15:16

There wasn't an IPO for the Obama movie he made 4 yrs ago so I wouldn't expect one for this movie {nm} JDolphin Jul 24, 16:45

True, and there always will be movies that miss the cut. I can't recall a wide release in the top 10 ever not being listed though. shadowking Jul 24, 17:55

That appeals to the completist in me but if the movie has already opened wide, there's not much saleable data that HSX can generate from an RogerMore Jul 24, 18:09

What saleable data does HSX get from post-open $1 IPO's like CWAR2? None. It's a completest move for starbonds. shadowking Jul 24, 18:40

I think you have to be completist with starbonds, but that's a solid point. {nm} RogerMore Jul 24, 20:18

I agree it's pointless now...but if he makes a 4th movie, I don't see how it can be excluded anymore... TwoMisfits Jul 24, 19:57

Although it's probably not fair to give it to what half the people think is pure lying attack propaganda {nm} islander Jul 24, 20:08

Yeah, but we don't tend to exclude "offensive" movies... TwoMisfits Jul 24, 20:15

There are no relevant star bonds to attach. These boil down to editorials masquerading as facts. Those are some of the arguments for why Catzan Jul 24, 22:52

Just ask Michael Moore. :-) {nm} Flash Jul 25, 07:54
