Movies

I had bad feelings, when I walked out of today's noon IMAX there, ended at 2:45, there was no line for the 3:30 IMAX.

And after having walked up and bought my noon IMAX tix fifteen minutes before show time, I was thinking that based on this afternoon the movie just wasn't going to be that HUGE today.

Also, the box office, which is supporting an enormous theater at the Spectrum, had nobody there. There were a couple of regular screenings of the movie scheduled in the mid afternoon, but there was very little traffic walking up this afternoon.

It just wasn't POPPING there.

So I talked to my stepson who works at the Cinema City in Anaheim Hills. He told me the movie is doing "pretty good" over there.

Hopefully we'll know by early morning..

BOG Is Predicting Only $18/ $19M Opening Day For Inception Because Of Weak West Coast Numbers. wrongturn687 Jul 16, 18:21

Damn, wasn't near a computer all day and forgot to flip to short. {nm} PendenteLite Jul 16, 18:22

Where are you getting weak from "West Coast PM shows just starting"?? {nm} dsbman Jul 16, 18:32

I assumed the movie was playing better on the East Coast because I heard there were more sellouts for it in those areas, but it's not doing wrongturn687 Jul 16, 18:37

It's doing fantastically in LA. Sure, that's to be expected, but we also have a few sellouts here in San Diego. {nm} dsbman Jul 16, 18:45

Right now the 11 PM at Irvine Spectrum is not sold out, neither is the 11:30. The late IMAX DID sell out though. {nm} goodvibe61 Jul 16, 21:57

sounds to me like the Bush,Gore election...early results are in, don;t bother ! {nm} gmenrule Jul 16, 18:44

the early results were right that year {nm} mickpix Jul 16, 19:15

LOL, typical Lib {nm} gmenrule Jul 16, 19:33

Had Gore won his home state, he would have won the election. With or without Florida. An inconvenient truth, as they say. {nm} Hooray360 Jul 16, 20:23

Gore, such a fat, sloppy filthy minded man....what a shame, kinda like Bubba {nm} gmenrule Jul 17, 06:30

Yes. All the GOPians are so much better, and holier ;-) I know at least in Europe, no one will give a rat's hiney - he'll remain an icon. Facto Jul 17, 06:38

I believe the west coast reference is meant to indicate there is uncertainty to the early estimate {nm} xiayun Jul 16, 18:35

Every show at the Regal in Union Square is sold out tonight... and it has a lot of screens. secretstalker Jul 16, 18:42

The Funny Thing is it looks like MTC was closer all along. Most people didn't want to believe that MTC number and thought it wouldn't happen {nm} wrongturn687 Jul 16, 18:46

MTC said 48... RS said 60... it's looking like it's going to be around 56 (or more)... how was MTC closer? {nm} secretstalker Jul 17, 04:29

That's expected for that theater; I'd be worried about $40m weekend if it didn't sell out the showings there {nm} xiayun Jul 16, 18:56

I agree. It better sell out Friday nights in major markets.. {nm} goodvibe61 Jul 16, 21:36

How will it make more than 65M? I can't see that. Anyhew, BOM reporting it's on 6700 screens. A lot less than Iron Man 2, which was on almos Facto Jul 16, 19:19

Was this meant as a response to my post? I didn't say anything about 65m in my post. {nm} secretstalker Jul 17, 04:30

I guess I don't understand your IM, that I replied to. To me it seems you say there that it will defy tracking, possibly going 70M+ Facto Jul 17, 05:15

Found your post on B2 now Facto Jul 17, 06:15
