I'm actaully surprised that there weren't more negative reviews.
burlivesleftnut wrote:Look it has to be something other than length, right? Didn't Harry Potter make mad bank and it was super fucking long, no? I am sure Potter has a larger builtin audience, so maybe the argument is pointless, but I don't believe the movie underperformed because of LENGTH. And honestly, I don't think the movie underperformed. I think it might have been OVER FINANCED, but that's another can of worms.

Well wouldn't length play into how many showings per day a theater can have? Obviously a film 1/2 or 2/3 the length can fit in more showings thus it can take in more money. It's 187 minutes plus trailers and ads at the beginning and then down time between showings for theater cleanup etc you are nearing 4 hours per one showing...a 90 minute movie could get 2 showings in that same slot.

it's also because all those things are about 3-4 times as much as they used to be... "THEY" bitch about the movies not making enough money - so they jack up admission/concession prices and sell more and more ad space before the movie - then movie-goers bitch that it's too expensive and too many commercials - so they stop going as much - then "THEY" bitch that they're losing more money - so they jack up prices and sell more ad space... and it will keep going forever until the movie theater is just a place to go to buy $68 popcorn, $37.50 for bottled water and pay $94.37 for 2 hours of commercials that you can see on tv...

Exactly, it is a vicious cycle that many people don't want to be a part of. That is why many people wait for the dvd and buy it on the release day. So what if they miss it in theatre? They have their own copy of it, without having to pay a price similiar to the GNP of a third world country to see it, and they get to watch it in their PJS!!! Or even naked, as some sick freaks do.
I am not one of those said freaks.

Kong made just a million more than Narnia yesterday. It will be very interesting to see which film does the best on Christmas Day.

You think Narnia will catch up? Considering it's a softer rating, geared to kids and half an hour shorter, it better.
