Dredd - Box Office

[Zarjazzer]

I meant it's far to early to...[spoiler]judge[/spoiler].There! I said it punks!

[ming]

I've still got to wait until Friday for Dredd to be released here (Norway) and in the meantime I'm just having to ignore all the doom and gloom and focus on the very obvious good things about the film, of which there are many!

Box office, schmox office - I just want to see Dredd, please!

Sorry for the other topic but:

2.2 million on Friday and due to be pulled in theatres in a few days time according to someone on the Comics and Graphic Novels forum on GameFAQs which are always very well informed about such things.

[Spikes]

according to someone

Nice. Why repost this?

[NSFTM]

Probably the same well informed people who told us the violence was going to be toned down or it look cheap or travis had been murdered by garland

2.2 million on Friday and due to be pulled in theatres in a few days time according to someone on the Comics and Graphic Novels forum on GameFAQs which are always very well informed about such things.

In other words, it's completely unfounded rumour and hearsay. I've gone to that message board, and the guy who made that statement isn't even stating it as fact - it's just his opinion.

Why are you so keen to persist with this nonsense, seeing as last time you posted it, the thread got locked? Do you want to get ignored/banned?

Roughly unfounded considering that the topic in question is populated by

A) Comics fans

B) 2000AD/Judge Dredd fans

C) Are fairly knowledable about the box office

To quote one fan

[ I just checked out the showtimes for the two theaters I usually go to and neither of them have very many showings(for 2D or 3D). One has only two 2D and three 3D showings. The other has just one 2D showings and three 3D showings.

I also don't think the movie was promoted well. I haven't seen any TV spots and I didn't even see the trailer play in front of movies I went to see in the theaters. /quote]

That qualifies someone to have an opinion, nothing else.

So your source must be high up in the movie business if he knows it's going to get pulled in the next few days..

But I feel genuinely upset and frustrated at this latest development, this film is so close to my heart, not least because of the fan screening and meeting Alex etc, it's really sad that this is the result after all the build up.

Latest development perhaps, but the final result (unless you have a Proteus in your backyard) we have yet to see

Chin up mate! 

Keep that ball rolling! Once more over the top my fine lads!

I totally agree, there are so many mixed messages about full screenings, empty screenings etc, etc that we can't seriously have a proper conversation about the success of this film for weeks to come yet. Just keep spreading the word and the world will be our post apocolyptic future run by proto fascists that we just can't hate :-)

Listen guys, I'm a fan just like you lot but judging from reactions from other forums such as GameFAQs, Gallifrey Base, IMDb and others, it's not looking good. It was #5 yesterday with $2,230,000.

[Steve Green]

Because fans are really measured, reasonable people who don't swing wildly between pessimism and optimism.

Scojo posts on IMDB.

That's all I have to say on that.

[radiator]

Yes, I think we are aware that it is not looking good, thank you. If you'd care to read the last few pages of this thread you can see that - the majority of us are being realistic.

But your continued reposting of scurrilous, unfounded rumours as gospel fact is annoying people. I suggest you stop it, unless, as I say, you are deliberately trying to get people to ignore you/get yourself banned.
