What are you talking about?
Based on his report Mrs. Lurkin and I decided we will not go to see it. And despite her hints of interest - I'm confident we won't see “Mamma Mia” either!
I think he’s talking about Hollyweird.
gotta adjust these numbers for inflation, at the least..aside from raw dollars, this is nearly meaningless info aside from the fact the 8$ tickets are helping theaters and studios.
I'll probably check out a matinee this week, when there will hopefully be fewer ankle biters in the theater.
Man, I can’t wait to see this movie. All the showings were all sold out, so I’ll probably catch it when demand dies down a little. I have heard that this is not only the greatest superhero movie ever made, but one of the greatest overall movies as well. I’d never thought this would out-do Batman Begins, but I heard it did.
Steven Greydanus at Decentfilms.com liked it a LOT. If the upcoming, potentially-catastrophic, week is reasonably successful, maybe my two oldest (17 and 14) can see it on Friday.
It’s a passable time waster not much more. My vote for best superhero ever made goes to ‘Superman 2’.
Does anyone know of a website that lists ATTENDANCE, rather than GROSS RECEIPTS? Particularly concerning movies from the 30’s, 40’s & 50’s.
It really would be nice to compare Apples to Apples. After all, you could open a home movie with a total weekend attendance of 13 people in Zimbabwe and have the take be several billion! :-)
ROFL. You're kidding or smoking crack, right?
It’s a small masterpiece and is a much better film than the first Superman film and any other film of that sort I’ve seen since then.
I saw it last night and it was pretty good. There was no reason, though, for Batman to have copped to the 5 murders that Dent committed. In order that the people of Gothago not lose confidence in their officials? As though with all the crime in Gotham no cops or aldermen had ever been corrupted. Better that they have the example of a dead corrupted Dent and a live incorruptible Batman than the other way around. Batman and Commissioner Gordon were discussing how it was important that the people have someone they can believe in and then finished by saying that the people needed a bad guy to believe in and that bad guy was Batman because he could take it. That was a bit weak, though it left things open to a sequel. Too bad Ledger died; he was a GREAT bad guy.
Terrence Stamp was the best thing about Superman 2. KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!!!
Gary Oldman is at his best when he takes an understated role like (soon to be) Commissioner Gordon. Nevertheless, his best role was his rather outlandish performance in “The Professional.”
