Am I the only one surprised to see FREDI tracking that well? I figured the ideal timing for a Queen biopic had long past... RollingThunder Oct 30, 10:20

Queen is probably more popular than ABBA. Does his bisexuality make you uncomfortable? Antibody Oct 30, 10:28

I don't agree with it, but just posting the question from an objective standpoint - was this a film fans have been longing for? RollingThunder Oct 30, 10:40

Freddie's personal story lends itself to the biopic model probably more than (still-living) rock casualties. same reason there have been slipping jimmy Oct 30, 10:57

That does make sense. I advised my theater to stick with one screen. I can take the end of year eval hit if wrong. {nm} RollingThunder Oct 30, 10:59

Well, you are probably wrong on this one; I know a lot of musicians who are very excited for this film {nm} Wilderness_Journey Oct 30, 12:21

I don't know... LaForza Oct 30, 13:40

In the UK (different market I know, but...) it opened higher than A Star but less than Mamma Mia 2 {nm} numbersix_99 Oct 30, 15:46

Wow! What a question by the moderator... {nm} ndmaster Oct 30, 15:33

RollingThunder has been open about his conservative values. {nm} Antibody Oct 30, 17:03

BO had their Long-range tracking at $35m almost two months ago tomcat90 Oct 30, 10:30

Not tracking, but one person's opinion. {nm} Antibody Oct 30, 10:32

Gen X and Baby Boomer fans grew up on Queen, and so much of the catalog gets constantly replayed/reused they've never been out of the public slipping jimmy Oct 30, 10:44

And unlike ABBA, Queen is still touring with Adam Lambert. {nm} Antibody Oct 30, 10:46

yup...IMHO well-made, dramatic, varied music that still holds up...some of Freddie's vocal arrangements are tough to sing properly.. tealfan Oct 30, 15:28
