Review embargo reportedly extended to tomorrow (Monday), which is the UK release date, AKA the latest they can possibly push it back to.

Is there any hoow left for this movie?

By blacklisting them from future pre-views.
Also if word gets around you break embargos other companys will blacklist you on principle.

EA and other vidya companys do the same thing in order to control video game journalism.

Yep, you need to tow the line when you work a job that so many would like to have. Its not tough work, you just need to be able to remember parts of the film and add that to a semi-coherent review.

They've already talked themselves up into such a big game about stupid man babies and social issues that no matter what is going to bomb. They have the convenient excuse of blaming said man babies and any legit review will be ignore, even if the movie ends up decent. They've gud their own grave and everyone will forgive Sony when Spider-Man comes out.

>>71830730
It's the second day, which is the first day it's showing in full-sized screens in Leicester square. On the Monday it's only showing in tiny screens, presumably because the main odeon screen is the legit premiere with 'stars' and whatever.

I'm not 100% certain, but that block is often greyed out whenever I book a movie, I think maybe they have a policy of holding some seats until the day of the showing?
>>
>>71830800
Actually, they might be premium seats or something.

>>71830800
It's pretty strange that a whole block is neatly booked.
Maybe they're earmarked for people with passes?

What's even the point of the embargo? Obviously it doesn't matter for people who don't research reviews before choosing a movie to go to, but those who do won't watch it anyway since the company is obviously trying to adorn its pile of shit with a thin veil of ignorance.

Those are the best seats, those are always booked up when I leave it to late to book ahead.

The system doesn't let you leave a single space next to you because they know nobody will want it, you have to leave at least two spaces if you are going to leave any and couples always swoop on them because like I said, they are the best seats.

No, it's a reservation system. Means no rushing in to get a good seat.

Here's what the average Everyman Cinema is like here in the UK. They usually have a bar and food though - I guess that must be outside at this one.
>>
>>71831080
We don't have tompay extra depending on where we sit, you get the good seats if you book early, fuck knows why you need the table, are you really stuffing yourself with so many snacks that you need your own table?

The only special seating we have at my cinema is for the chairs with the hydraulic s in them so you jump around as the film plays, mbut they are a waste of money so at most you will see two people ever using them.

>>71829925
>By blacklisting them from future pre-views.

How is this even a thing for movies? It's not like vidya, where you may need a head-start, because you have to spend a week on actually playing it, to write up a review. For movies it's just going to your local cinema on release night, endure the movie for 2 hours, then drive home and write a review for the very next day. Where's the advantage of a prescreening, when you don't allow any advance writeup? If it's about building up hype, then the movie industry is the party that needs to suck dick of the review crowd, not the other way around.

How can they do this exactly?

A youtube chanell is called HURTR DURRTZ MOBIZS

And a guy named Kurt Russle goes to the theater, they have no way to know whos who in these cases. I guess they do if the viewing is reviewer only or something.

But all these screenings people went to were basically invite your friends pre premiere with no names or anything attached to your ticket.

It's not like Video games where they send you an early review copy to your OWN email address and know where you live.

>Vue Cinema - not showing the film
>Empire Cinema - not showing the film
>Trocadero Cineworld(just off leicester Square) - not showing the film

unless the other cinemas dont take prebookings for that film in particularly, its not looking good

West Sussex seems like a place where there's nothing interesting to do.
I mean, at least Northampton has some cool stuff.

There does seem to be screenings at the BFI Imax though.

They're not even showing it on the Imax 3D for the peak showing (showing Tarzan on that screen).

Wow, you must be the ultimate millennial if you think selling out online the day before is somehow necessary for a movie to be a success.

Yeah, I figured theres plenty of places to watch it in London I just stuck with Leicester Square because its the destination you go to when having a meal and a film

I can't believe people like you exist. Do you not enjoy to be comfortable while you sit there for the next 3~ hours watching a movie?

Do you enjoy having sore legs after sitting in a cramp seat? Do you enjoy having to squish between two people in a seat while you watch a movie?

I'm sure that doesn't mean anything, right? Probably just baby men who own cinemas, the movie will still be a hit, right?

Big movies tend to fill up via online ticket sales here in London. These sales remind me of Warcraft.

Theater not opening a movie on Monday? Must be a failure.

>>71832054

Generally speaking a day before release, especially for a blockbuster, you expect 30-50% sold a day in advance.

You save money booking online and don't have to queue so most people book now.

That one is old though, and it shows. The best on in London at this point is the new one in the Empire on Leicester Square.

You jammy bastard. I spent a few days at my mates farm in Market Weighton not long back and it was gorgeous. Got up with the sunrise and stood in his garden watching rabbits and horses play in the field next door. The view went on for miles.

Then I had to come home to fucking Hull. I live in probably the best part of the city but it's still Hull.

Burgess hill is in west sussex physically but served by Mid Sussex Council. It's a pain in the arse.

Still, they're almost completely flattening the town centre and building a 10 screen cinema so I won't have to drive to crawley to watch things any more.

I booked an Imax screening where I was near the front towards the sides (only seats left).

went to the seats, left after about 10 seconds and got a refund. Shit is unwatchable, they shouldn't even put seats in those locations.

To be fair, Applauding a premier is acceptable given that people behind the release/production are probably there to appreciate it.

There's no way they're not taking the piss.

The League of Gentlemen's Royston Vasey is a satire of Hull (I think Reese Shearsmith is from here).

FUN FACT: Royston Vasey is the real name of right-wing funnyman Roy "Chubby" Brown.

Anyway, my stepdad works for the council and we'll apparently get some weird show in the city centre's main park where people swoop over everyone on high wires and drop feathers on them. It has some French name but I forget...

Found this:
http://metro.co.uk/2016/07/03/hull-becomes-city-of-angels-as-winged-acrobats-shower-crowd-with-1-5-tonnes-of-feathers-5982519/

Apparently this "City of Culture" thing is given to a UK city every 4 years so I guess it's just our turn. I assume the last winner was an inanimate carbon rod.

Lost all respect for Lumley after her campaign for the Gurkhas.

A slight exaggeration but movie studios definitely buy out journalists through hard to track/quantify gifts. Paying for flights, hotels, inviting them to lavish parties, giving them goodiebags, promising them access to stars.

Gurkhas are based though, my grandad served with them during the war and said they were the best soldiers he's ever seen. If you fight for Britain, you earn the right to stay, imo. We should deport aristocrats and council house scum desu, run our borders on a meritocracy system.

They have spent a lot of money marketing this and it's using their summer blockbuster slot.

It needs to make $300m I'd guess to break even but they'd really be expecting a big summer blockbuster to comfortably break $600m so anything less than that is a flop.

>>71832475
I agree. It'll break even and feminists will proclaim the movie a roaring success despite all the men who raped it by not going.

I hope some movie executive works out how much money a faithful, quality Ghostbusters movie would've made if it had been made by, and for, real fans of the franchise.

They missed out on cashing in hundreds of millions of dollars, just to prove people don't want to watch women pretending to like Ghostbusters and trying to be funny.

Indeed, Gurkhas are badass.

The problem is they were specifically told it wouldn't get them citizenship. When they got citizenship, they then brought 3 generations of their family along with them, completely unskilled people who can't speak any English and can only survive on benefits.

But I almost expect all the hambeasts and the ilk campaigning for it hard and then realize how shit it is, so it'll just have a harsh drop.

21mil seems pretty low for a movie with a moderate amount of hype. I'd go as far to predict around 50mil
