It's the 3 hours. I'd watch it again, but paying $40 to watch it again is a bit much. - Beryllium Jun 2, 13:40 3
- it's the 30 minutes of trailers up front -- nm - peglegpete Jun 2, 14:08
- If I could bring my laptop and do some work while watching it, then I'd be game. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 13:41 1
  - ha ha this is how I feel about the overlong marvel movies too. "I have things to do!" -- nm - amanda Jun 2, 13:50
Nothing seems to have legs right now. We just went through a Memorial Day weekend where no holderover had a less than 40% dropoff. - Inigo Jun 2, 12:35 2
- Of course Disney would, with a big opening out of their property every 2 weeks. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 2, 13:08 1
  - Anyone bitching about it "only" making $850 million should think about their expectations. -- nm - Reagen Jun 2, 14:14
to many screens for these movies on opening weekends. -- nm - Remlik Jun 2, 10:53 1
- Studios are crying all the way to their 90% first weekend demands. -- nm - Reagen Jun 2, 12:43
I saw it, I loved it, but I can wait for it to show up on Vudu before I watch it again. -- nm - Bacon Jun 2, 10:36
I certainly don't pay attention like I once did, but it seems like you could expect this one to be the front-loadediest of all. - Cuzzin Todd Jun 2, 10:21 6
- Most of these mega-opening movies end up having 'legs' based on the idea that they are an event in and of themselves. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 10:26 5
  - Except for Dark Knight those are all "firsts." First Avengers, first in a new Jurassic series, first in a new Star Wars series. This was a last. - Cuzzin Todd Jun 2, 11:21
  - I wonder if multipliers didn't break because of the massive size of the opening AND of the sheer size of its opening circuit. - Marlowe Jun 2, 10:36 3
    - No doubt. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 10:46
    - Maybe, people already had the event feel built in so they showed up immediately. But the losing screens is solely because it dropped off - Will Hunting Jun 2, 10:42 1
      - The per screen average is not that far away from the others, not enough to justify it losing - Marlowe Jun 2, 10:56
