Then Jimp Stallone '95 should've made billions.

I don't think the majority of the cinema going public frequent sites like Aintitcool or Bleedingcool or listen to trolls who post on such sites as if they did films such as Captain America or Thor which were panned and ridiculed on these sites wouldn't of enjoyed the box office success they had.

A cool trailer and good reviews will have much more impact than gossip and conjecture from a few internet trolls and fuckwits like Scojo.

No, but the majority of the demographic Dredd is aimed at do.

So that's about 0.5% of the potential cinema audience?

Seriously, if anyone's influenced by the internet in their decision making process than they need their heads tested and there's little hope for humanity!

Yep that's true but as they're the only people discussing subjects like these, that's all the general public gets to hear so it's the same result. Thor and Captain America weren't universally panned leading up to their releases though. Anything I read seemed 50-50 in regards to pre-publicity. They had enough good word-of-mouth which the trailers reinforced.

Plus, they didn't have to deal with "creative disagreements" rumors breaking out almost a year before the release.

The reviews are going to have to knock Dredd out of the park. If not, every review is going to focus on this recent rumor...

Of course people are influenced by the internet. Rottentomatoes, anyone? I sure as fuck use it before I go see a movie. Not saying it'll stop me seeing a movie I think looks interesting but it'll certainly prepare me a bit.

Also, there's no point talking about tiny percentages of the general public and their cinema-going habits. Dredd's only going to appeal to a tiny percentage of that public, even if it's fucking fantastic.

Potential cinema audience? If you take the extreme end being an Avatar style mass audience where nuclear families en masse will see it and the other being a Red State non-entity that'll attract a few die-hards. I'd say Dredd will be sliding at least some distance closer to the latter so yes that demographic will be more important than the general audience.

JOE SOAP

It's those sites that've contributed greatly to a small film like Drive being a genre success.

MR. ELIMINATOR

I am pretty sure Empire will stay supportive of this movie during it's build up, so that's a good thing. They have a lot of readers and I generally agree with their reviews.

JOE SOAP

That's mainly because it's a British mag, no point shitting on your own doorstep.

And that's why I said a good review will have more impact. Rotten tomatoes just compiles all the reviews from critics and makes an average percentage to create an overal figure.

And you obviously weren't reading Aintitcool during pre-production of Thor or Captain America because the responce from leaked photos (sound familiar?) were universally derided by the resident trolls.

Dredd has far more in common with other action fare like the Lionsgate movie Expendables- that did very respectable box office,  than a niche movie like Red State in my opinion.

It has more in common with the new Ghost Rider flick -looking pretty good- than most other stuff and that is hardcore comic genre audience.
