Film Discussion / Re: Dredd - Box Office

Just been to my 5th viewing. Vue, Kirkstall Road, Leeds. Final week, last showing here is Thursday. 18 people, all looked happy coming out. Only one show a night from tomorrow.

Still in Vue, The Light in Leeds city centre with three showings a night. Not checked elsewhere as those are thee Ray journeys.

Thinking of seeing it one more time & encouraging as many asI can to go with... Maybe last screening at one of thee Vues.

Film & TV / Re: Doctor Who - The Angels Take Manhattan

I agree with what seems to be general concensus - thoroughly enjoyed this episode.

Not sure why people constantly question the fact little things don't always match up in Dr Who. Continuity in most tv shows is pants. It isn't always constant in 2000AD, and is non-existent in most DC or Marvel comics. Dr Who is fairly consistent, for a tv show... For one thing it is proven in many episodes that what we were told is a rule inothers isn't so. The Doctor is an unreliable narrator, that is consistent.

Tempted to go again today or tomorrow. Love the film.

Looks bad for any hope of a sequel. But if I win squillions on Euromillions I will bung £50mil at it. 50% of my total win if I get over £100mil.

I'd want Alex, Karl Olivia, etc.

Other than that, I will obviously buy blu-Ray soon as it is out.

Well I know at least 2 people in USA that couldn't see it this weekend who will be going. Hope that helps.

But seriously (though I do know those 2 people are going later) this is still the first weekend, not first week, or first month. It has time.

Well that's the problem in the end. Dredd will have to pick up some impressive box office quickly to prevent being yanked from theaters. They're pretty merciless over here when something isn't performing.

I guess so, they cancel TV shows over there far too promptly too...

Is anyone organising the Chinese on Saturday evening this year, cough Bolt-01. Just wondering, as if I come up with Sam we'll definately be coming to this.

I am useless at organising... but I could well be up for being in on this.

That's in 9 territories (Resident Evil is playing in 74 at the moment and has grossed around $140 mill).

Resident Evil is bound to make more, it is built on cinema-goers more than the game now.

So all we have to do is wait for Karl Urban to win the Oscar for Best Actor for his Dredd performance, and the film's quids in?

Shhh. These straws won't clutch themselves, you know...

Cheers

Jim

Good point Jim.
