In response to "That's WOM having the opposite effect. I'm saying that Inception isn't front-loaded. A lot of block busters are." by the liioulu with sore foot

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
