I'll buy the DVD when it comes out.
DVD sales is where the money will be made. If they did the job it’s reported they did, this film will be shared with a lot of folks in DVD.
Uh.....white folks don’t go to the movies much anymore. Tired of getting jumped.
Interesting, watching FOX this morning they had nothing but praise for how well it did in the few screens it was playing on.
In fairness this isn’t taking place in a vacuum. Even The Conspirator had a $10 million ad budget. AS had a $0 ad budget.
Atlas Tanked
My wife and I went to see it last weekend and the theater was full. I’d recommend it to everyone, but I’m sure you won’t see many libs there.
Most of us have a hard time trying to find a decent movie to see.
Part of the problem is that as new theaters are added, their main web site
is not organized enough to add it to their on line list immediately.
I can't think of a movie I want to see where the nearest venue is 45 miles away...
A little competent promotion on their web site cetainly wouldn't hurt.
Not good news.
I haven’t seen the movie just out, but I am currently re-reading “Atlas Shrugged”. It is very depressing because I see so much of the condition and political dominance written in the book around me more and more every day. Especially the placing of the blame and hatred upon successful and productive business being the fault for the disintegration of our amazing country of opportunity to raise one’s standard of living due to ambition, and hard work. There are too many who have become dependent upon the government for their daily bread, which I find appalling! How can one hold one’s head up when they are nothing but a parasite? If we allow all the “New Thought” (Communism) to prevail, we will not!
This was, is, but may not always be, God’s own country. Our system was devised d by and for Christians. “New Thought” is removing God from every area of public life. Christians are ridiculed without criticism! Our President declares that we are no longer a Christian nation! But this is still a Christian nation! Perhaps God is withdrawing His grace because the people are turning from Him. They are listening to the “New Thought”. “New Thought” is not new. Satan has been promoting it since time began. Ie: good is bad, bad is good!
Do yourselves a favor. Buy a copy of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, and see for yourselves if you want your world to emulate hers. before it is too late!
Atlas Shrugged is a film that needs to be seen, and more and more Americans will find it now, or on DVD, but it is an important film....
Me too!!! It would be about 220 miles for me.
Hmmm.
Atlas Shrugged: Grossed $1,676,917 opening weekend, finishing in 14th place overall.
The Passion: Grossed $83,848,082 opening weekend, finishing in 1st place overall.
I saw. I liked it. I bought the book on the way home. And the acting wasn’t bad!
This past weekend was Easter weekend. Most people spend this holiday with their families, and in their churches. I think it will pick up some this week. I plan to see it myself this week.
See Posot 93.
DVD. Theaters mean people and people forgot how to behave years ago.
My thoughts:
We saw this as the first movie in 10 years we set out to see (that Indiana Jones on an empty afternoon out of town doesn’t count).
We both have read the book more than once.
We both think the book is important, and enjoyable.
If you loved the book, you’ll like the movie.
If you liked the book, you’ll love the movie.
If you feared the book you’ll hate the movie.
This movie will break all records for those who purchase the DVD as a gift.
I’m amazed they made it so short, at only ~90 minutes, for a third of a book that deserved a 12-hour miniseries. I hope that the prospects for success let them make the next two parts 2.5 hours each.
