RagnarokJC Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 If Box Office Mojo is right, then it looks like we can rekindle our faith in humanity, as TPM has grossed a whopping $21M so far, putting it behind the critically urinated-upon chick flick The Vow. Hey George: when your attempt to milk more cash is losing to a lousy romance film, maybe you should take it as a sign to pack it in, hmm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think 21 million for an opening weekend on a rerelease is bad? I would say that is actually quite a huge success.

enrogae Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I won't be watching the movie. Yep... that's right, I'm denying it. Despite your claim, I only watched the first movies once. I regret even giving them that much time. They were awful. Truly, unabashedly, awful. Worst script-writing and dialogue I have ever seen in my life. **** dialogue is more well-done, and better acted. I also don't give a crap about 3D. So no, I will not be watching this crap pile of a movie in 3D... or any other format for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRelyks Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) I went and saw it for lulz. When I got to the ticket seller person thingy, they asked if I wanted the toys or stickers.

(and I didn't like EP1) By today's standards, $21M is mediocre at best. Watch box office numbers during the time when blockbusters come out (summer) if you want an idea of what constitutes a great opening weekend.

Darth_Grissom Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Ill go see it, yes. I liked all 6 movies as well as the wife. There has been no good reason given to us why they were bad.

Darth_Grissom Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Fake 3D at it's best. I was not aware that there was a Real and Fake 3d. My 3ds does 3d, as well as my 52' television, and when I go to movies, they are in 3d as well and you know what? They ALL look the same so....what are you talking about if i may ask.

Koalachan Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 You will be disappointed to know the republic commando series was ended because Lucas ruined its continuity in his cartoon series. Actually, it was because they mostly forgot to pay the author. Which you know, kinda makes them not want to write anymore. http://www.karentraviss.com/page10/files/Why_have_you_stopped_writing_St.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagnarokJC Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Your statement doesn't take into account the number of screens a film is shown on. Yes, it does, as you can see for yourself on the Box Office Mojo website. 303 theaters less than The Vow doesn't account for an $18M difference in revenue. Seems like more people would rather watch a crappy romance film than a 3D version of a crappy SW film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably referring to films made specifically with 3D technology, like Avatar, as opposed to films that were converted to 3D in order to take advantage of the surcharge that theaters gouge out of customers.

Serinthia Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 By today's standards, $21M is mediocre at best. Watch box office numbers during the time when blockbusters come out (summer) if you want an idea of what constitutes a great opening weekend. Why on earth would anyone have expected it to make blockbuster level money? It's a 13 year old film. It's already made it's budget back in spades. So a mediocre showing 13 years after it's release isn't that bad. Now, what I'd like to know is how much it cost them to do the 3D conversion on it, and then stack that against the gross and see how much of this is actually profit, or if they lost money.

Spoff Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 As a long time SW fan, reading the cannon, watching all of the movies repeatedly and playing this game and even SWG prior - I think you will watch the movie regardless. I agree that there are parts of EPI that annoy and demean the vision of the universe we envision. But the prequels were still entertaining and gave some visual reinforcement to what we imagined. Many think that what was created and delivered to us may have been presented in a better light, but it is what it is, to see Maul battling in 3D will be amazing. The only thing that I really dislike is how Lucas decided to bastardize the Mandorlian lore. The Republic Commando series was by far the most intriguing and entertaining literature thus far. Excited to watch the movies in 3D, even if I wish we'd see additional storyline on the bigscreen and not in animation. Erm...No I won't...I hate 3D.

Ohnoto Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Unfortunately, I won't be watching in 3D. I did try seeing if theaters were offering a 2D option, as I'd go and see it if they were. I'd like to see it on the big screen again, and take my son to see it also. I wear glasses, and while my eyes are just fine with the glasses, when I put on the 3D glasses, I see double and end up coming out with a headache.

Teddygram Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 While I agree the Eps aren't nearly as good as the OT, I haven't missed an opening weekend for any of the releases dating back to when I was 5 and my parents took me to see A New Hope (yes I'm THAT old!). Anyway, going in with my expectations lowered significantly, I actually found it to be enjoyable. I also found it to be more geared to the group of kids behind me. That being said, I have a very fond place in my heart for the final fight between Qui Gon, Obi Wan, and Darth Maul and I must say, it looked pretty darned good in 3D. Of course, all of Obi Wan's scenes looked pretty good in 3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teaweasel Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Baby Vader and the most annoying and bad idea ever created Jar Jar is the only reason I wont watch that movie twice. If they replace the actor playing Anakin with any other child actor that can even remotely act.. and somehow edit out Jar Jar then id consider it.
