That's WOM having the opposite effect. I'm saying that Inception isn't front-loaded. A lot of block busters are. - the liioulu with sore foot Jul 18, 14:41 11
- which is to say every movie needs positive WOM to get bigger -- nm - chuckles Jul 18, 14:42 10
  - Sort of. But you're still not getting it. Inception is not some mindless summer action flick. -- nm - the liioulu with sore foot Jul 18, 14:46 9
    - even if it was a mindless summer action flick, it still needs positive WOM from people who have already seen it to increase it's B.O. take - chuckles Jul 18, 14:47 8
      - How were the reviews for the last Transformers and how much money did it make? -- nm - the liioulu with sore foot Jul 18, 14:51 2
        
        It's no different than almost any other movie. People go see what they want and then from there, it'll float WOM-wise. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 14:56
        
        less than $100 million more than the original, because the WOM *sucked* -- nm - chuckles Jul 18, 14:54
      - Not really. Al ot of summer blockbusters are about the air-conditioning and the big bangs. - the liioulu with sore foot Jul 18, 14:50 4
        
        a/c likely adds something, but there has to be something more for a movie to be an ongoing success. something beyond just good bangs. -- nm - b! Jul 18, 14:56
        
        "well the movie kinda sucked but the air conditioning was AWESOME!" - chuckles Jul 18, 14:52 2
        
        And the big bangs and action. How well did Transformers do last year? -- nm - the liioulu with sore foot Jul 18, 14:54 1
        
        how much better would it have done if people didn't think it sucked ass compared to the first? -- nm - chuckles Jul 18, 14:55
