Dredd - Box Office

[DeFuzzed]

What NSFTM said.

And I'm still optimistic. And then this happened a few minutes ago =

Y'hear that sound, Earthlets? That's the sound of Judge Dredd Case Files #1 selling out in the US! Just had confirmation from distributors

Woo!

And it's a great film, I believe strongly in WOM, so yeah, still optimistic.

It's like the fall of Rome on here

I thought that was Lenny Zero a couple of progs back.

Nonsense, the fall of Rome had actual, profound historical significance

People, people! Enough with the doom!

At the very least we've just had a Dredd film that's been better than we could have hoped for. I know we're all anxious and want a sequel, but I'd honestly suggest taking a break from the thread for a week or so. I don't want half the board members having heart attacks as they watch the viewing figures every day!

Maybe post positive stuff on the web rather than fretting too much in here. Word Of Mouth and all that...

Ps. Hang on in there!

Yeah, might have jumped on the bandwagon too quickly. Have to keep remembering everyone I brought last night ended up loving it. Most want to see it again and they'll tell all their mates who might be on the fence. A bit more of that and we'll be doing alright.

If it helps any then the volume of new posters on IMDB and the volume of #dredd tweets went up about 80% today. Americans are tweeting other americans to go see it, so WOM is pretty damn good. Many tweets though have been talking about lack of 2D showings again and that the screens it is on are the smallest. But generally the WOM is very good, so its likely to hang in there. So there is plenty of hope left. Sorry if i came across as negative, just really bummed out. Its getting great reception on IMDB, people do like the movie and the case files is selling out, thats win right there.

We only worry because we care.

[DKCX]

Agree.

Most places here are showing alternate screenings of 3D and 2D which is good and Dredd was in a pretty large theater last night.

Too true.

Haven't read the board in 24 hours so have missed how this is being interpreted but can report that word of mouth on this is really really good - for example on the AV Club it got an absolute stinker of a review, the first few pages of comments were 'Raid Rip off / THAAAALLLAWWWW / TDKR is best' nonsense. Then the last 2 days are solid 'Reviewer - you are fxxking wrong, that was the best thing I've seen all year'. The Site gave it a D+, the Community has it at B-B+. I've seen that on many sites..

As the ABC Warriors would say: SPREAD THE WORD
As Nemesis would say: CREDO!

There's no two ways about it - this is a disaster.

$10-15m opening would have been weak, potentially less than $6m is just terrible, shocking.

Less than zero chance of a sequel now, never gonna happen.

[Stan]

My gut hasn't changed its mind. The sequel is still on. Chuck Sixpackman is never wrong.
