Holy crap. 100 mill opening week?

 

[Flake]

I hope so, I think this is fast becoming the must-see movie of the summer. I still don't think it will open big but it will keep seeing solid business for weeks after it opens because it looks like the word of mouth is going to be A+

Some very interesting Wolverine news....

A few days ago the final film was revealed to have a 107 minute runtime - the exact same as the leaked workprint. This came as a surprise as the studio said the final print ran around 10-15 minutes longer and incorporated reshoot footage not seen in the work print.

Now, AICN has word from a source who has seen both the leaked workprint and the final version. Their response? "The workprint version IS in fact identical to the release print, sans effect and some audio work"

The source indicates those scenes in the trailer, such as Wolverine carrying his girlfriend to the beach, are not in either version. As for the visual effects? "some really bad CGI work made me groan numerous times...

"FOX is trying their darndest to keep this news from getting out, because it will eliminate most of the motivation for people who have seen the workprint to pay for a ticket."

If true, buyer beware!

I saw Star Trek last night with some Trek-Virgins and they loved it..... I don't think we have to worry. Once the word gets out, it's over. Trek Wins.

How is everyone getting to see this movie so early?

This will be a balls to the wall promotional blitz. If it is actually possible for Zoe Saldana to lose weight, she will lose weight.

Christ, I hope not! May as well just get a skeleton from a medical supply house and a can of spray tan.

Beyonce as Uhura, now those are thighs worthy of Nichelle's mini-skirt...

FOX has a very real fear in that regard. The people who actually downloaded the workprint are the same people who probably read this article and as such, if they didn't enjoy, are going to shrug and go "fuck it, I already saw it for free".

There were some advanced screenings across the country last night. Invite only type deals for the most part I believe.

i just discovered some sites were one can go in and register to get added onto a list for sneak screenings in your area.
also a lot of tickets are given away as local promotions by the local media(tv, newspapers , radio)
our city as far as i can didnt have one but numerous cities across the country had them both thursday and friday night.
they are both for the local press and to get local interest started in a movie.

i dont know if this is legit but..
there is a rumor some imax screens are begging to get the movie now on the 6th due to being contractually locked into to for now just the two weeks until night of the museum to comes out.
our imax has a huge display about how they only have it for that two weeks so get your tickets now .
