Movies

They're banking on people going to it because it's a cool looking movie (I don't think it is, but the less cynical in the crowd might).

Posted by: shadowking (a.k.a shadowking13) on Nov 23, 10:32 in response to eyescovered's post And that's what they are banking on, but unless you saw...

I'm normally very much in the fan-boy-only movie mockery group around here, but I just don't see the comparison this time.Ā  It's definitly not Scott Pilgrim, that's for sure (Speed Racer would be a better comp if you want to go that route).

RS 11/24 (all 5 day) notfabio Nov 23, 06:48

And a reminder that the 5-day uses a 2x adjust multiplier! {nm} edzep Nov 23, 06:52

The future aren't 5 day in case there was confusion. {nm} notfabio Nov 23, 06:53

Is the Tron prediction for opening day? :) {nm} secretstalker Nov 23, 07:02

You did have a bad day yesterday .... ? grammar Nov 23, 07:31

Not having a very good day today either, and I'm not doing anything different than usual either. {nm} secretstalker Nov 23, 07:44

I'm up 2.5M today. I have only been flipping the movers when I get up in the morning plus any 'news' stocks. grammar Nov 23, 08:18

Thanks ! {nm} joeoftexas Nov 23, 06:55

Weird that RS and MTC have Faster/Burlesque swapped.. I think MTC is closer on this. {nm} secretstalker Nov 23, 06:55

I agree {nm} xiayun Nov 23, 08:58

Ouch for TRON, although it is RS...won't worry too much right now. {nm} Rolling_Thunder Nov 23, 07:11

It's a movie for a very niche crowd IMO. I'm surprised it's not even lower that that. {nm} eyescovered Nov 23, 07:21

Yeah, a niche of guys over 10 who go to see movies... not many of them :) {nm} secretstalker Nov 23, 07:23

I agree with you. Though, for months, I lost a lot of money waiting for others to come round on it. {nm} edzep Nov 23, 07:29

I don't see it opening where it's currently priced, but labelling it as a niche movie is a little severe. shadowking Nov 23, 09:11

And that's what they are banking on, but unless you saw the first one and are a fan, why would you go see this? eyescovered Nov 23, 09:35

I don't think you're wrong. I've been asking family members and there's not been a lot of interest. {nm} CS Nov 23, 10:03

How did they feel about Avatar a month out? ;) Most non-movie geeks don't make up their minds until opening week or later based on WOM. {nm} Antibody Nov 23, 10:12

Have the TV ad campaigns hit yet? That's usually a reason for low interest farther out. {nm} Scorpion Nov 23, 12:08

Avatar started out at low-40s {nm} xiayun Nov 23, 08:54

Avatar was a whole different animal, though. Guess we'll see what happens. {nm} Rolling_Thunder Nov 23, 10:57

Only in hind-sight after the release with its tremendous legs. {nm} Antibody Nov 23, 11:06

Although I believe low 30's is a bit low, I really don't see it making more than $45 on opening weekend FabioParme Nov 23, 12:11

$45M I mean, of course! {nm} FabioParme Nov 23, 12:12

There is absolutely no way that Tron isn't going to make at least $50M OW. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Nov 23, 12:23

Agree on that. The Disney machine is on, move or get kill {nm} loslobos Nov 23, 14:43

I heard similar remarks about this time last year for Avatar...Tron Legacy is going to do an easy $250 million... RoBoGuru Nov 23, 20:16

I see Tron as the next Speed Racer style flop. {nm} Borat Nov 27, 08:39
