I got tickets for the 20th at 7:30pm. Afterwards I noticed there were tickets for the 19th not just the midnight showing or something but all day! Did I miss something? I didn't know they were releasing it a day early.

[Cail]

Big releases like Star Wars, Marvel films, etc they alwayys have Thursday evening/night showings

[Outlaw]

I took a second look and your right. No showing starts before 6pm. I just kinda freaked out cause I never have seen a theater around here do anything but midnight showings before.

[Weltall]

It has been completely normal, for years, for "release day" to be 6PM the day before the date listed....

[chazzyphizzle]

yeah lol, at least like a decade or more. welcome to 10-15 years ago (or more)!

I sat in near empty theatres on opening night for Force Awakens and Rogue One. Would have done so for TLJ as well but my theatre had a royal fuck up and the digital film was corrupted on like 10/15 screens they had that night and my show got canceled. I should have taken that as a sign.

[Weltall]

Force Awakens was the busiest I can remember theaters being since maybe Phantom Menace or Matrix 2. I don’t think any movie will ever touch Phantom Menace in that regard.

[Krandor]

Yeah Phantom Menace release was absolutely wild, if only we knew how fucking awful it was gonna be.

[Anoat]

It was all over the moment trade negotiations popped up in the opening crawl. All the air let out of the room at once.

[Weltall]

I enjoyed it, but they really should have kept Maul through the trilogy.

[Vagrant]

Maul, and qui gone were the best parts. Even young obi wan was cringe though ewan made it work later in the trilogy

Hey, I live in the Appalachian region. We don't get what you city slickers get har har. I am old though. When I was a kid the nearest movie theater was about 30 minutes away and had like four screens. ^^ ;

Iger on the future of Star Wars; "Less is More"

I have said publicly that I think we made and released too many films over a short period of time. I have not said that they were disappointing in any way. I’ve not said that I’m disappointed in their performance. I just think that there’s something so special about a Star Wars film, and less is more.

[Weltall]

Fuck that, give me a movie per year. Just hire competent writers.

[Anoat]

Marvel movies have proven that quantity is not a problem when quality is done well.

I realllly don't want them using that as a cop out - "oh it didn't do well because of oversaturation!"

Are all of those side movies still doing well? I do think there is an eventual oversaturation point with Black Widow 2 and shit like that. Even the biggest sheep marvel fanboys have to have a breaking point.

Ant-Man 2 still made more than twice their film budget + marketing costs in total WW sales.
