Winner Called
A just-received e-mail from Fandango.com’s Harry Medved reports that Monsters vs. Aliens is accounting for 57% of advance ticket sales. The second-place The Haunting in Connecticut is only tallying about 10% — dud. I Love You, Man is third at 5%, and the awful Knowing is fourth at 4%.
’12 Pounds’ will make $4 million this weekend if it’s lucky.
’12 Rounds’, dammit.
These numbers don’t seem very useful as box office indicators.
I likely going to see Haunting in CT this weekend but I would never think of ordering advance tickets. I have no interest in MvA but if I did I would definitely pre-order.
It seems like its more an indicator of perceived popularity rather than actual interest.
How many of the advance ticket sales for MONSTERS VS. ALIENS are for the 3-D version?
I’m catching up with Duplicity and I Love You, Man this weekend.
More and more, I can’t relate to anyone in the “film” discussion biz.
A new 2.35:1 ACTION MOVIE from the awesome director of Ford Fairlane and Die Hard 2 drops, starring a RAPPING WRESTLER who looks like Damon Wahlberg, featuring hot chicks and explosions and massive entertainment, and doesn’t even warrant a mention in Wells’ opening spiel, no one here is gonna see it, and a bunch of grown men give a shit about some 3-D ANIMATION that is targeted it at small children?
12 Rounds is the ONLY GAME IN TOWN this weekend. I can’t believe even Actionman isn’t excited about it.
Like, I’ve had this shit marked on my calendar for three months in giddy anticipation at the mix of RENNY HARLIN with the star of THE MARINE, which was a comedic masterpiece.
Just everyone has such a stick up their ass about big dumb action… then they turn around and actively go see a CARTOON in a theater full of babbling children.
If this were 1988, this would be ACTION JACKSON or RUNNING MAN or COBRA or something, and you’d all be stoked for it. When did everyone become such a goddamn snob, and yet snobs with a woeful sense of infantilism.
All giving a shit about CARTOONS instead of widescreen violence.
I don’t care if this sounds juvenile, THE MAIN THING that’s awesome about movies is ACTION, VIOLENCE, GUNS, GUNFIRE, EXPLOSIONS, WEAPONRY, CAR CHASES, and HOT FUCKING WOMEN.
If I wanted to be bored, I’d fucking read a book.
12 ROUNDS #1.
LexG — John Cena is MMR and Renny Harlin is waaaaay past his expiration date. PG-13 action movies are beyond annoying. Did you see The Marine?!
I am all for “widescreen violence.” Just “widescreen violence” that is good.
And also, I have zero interest in Monsters Vs. Aliens.
The simple fact is that thru the first 3 months of the year, it’s been mostly shit that’s been projected on movie screens. I’ve only seen 5 movies from 2009 thus far.

Yes. Robert Patrick–who wisely chose to play tongue-in-cheek–saved a lot of it for me.
LexG – best comment in a long time, extra points for the inclusion of Action Jackson
oh how far Renny Harlin has fallen, and its all his fault (with a sprinkling reserved for geena)
the fandango numbers are virtually useless. in my years of working at theaters in very different areas, i noticed that teenagers don’t do a lot of advance planning and tend to just show up.
ohhhhhh wait i already knew that because its a widely accepted fact
yes i am sure at some point the teenager child of one of you pre-purchased tix on the internet but it was most likely for an expected blockbuster, not a B-list PG-13 horror movie

Jeez, I always thought the awesome thing about movies was acting and storytelling. (Made that should be “hot fucking storytelling.”)
Is Damon the Gummo of the Wahlberg clan?
