Hope we get some pics of the crowds and line-ups.
In England we don't applause films.
just got back from picking up my pre-ordered tickets..........you know.....you pre-order these things to "AVOID!!" line ups........to use the damn machine I had to wait 25 mins in line, the machine ran out of paper, was about to switch to another machine....longer line up....went to the box office with my print out, had to wait in line again, was told its sold out....I argue that I already have it booked and paid for (while holding up the print out as proof).....nope its sold out.
Had to get the manager to come out, go over my paper work and then finally he gave me my tickets and said see you at 10pm.....I'll be there at 7 since I dont trust them lol
So thats what happened when I figured I'd swing by for 5 mins to get my tickets, ended up spending close to 2 hours and a half just to get them printed out ....thats the length of the damn movie I want to see lol
LOL Dude, that is why you for the printable tickets on cineplex.com. So easy and hassle-free. Just print them off at home and avoid all lines.
Hi. I hated it myself (report on why later :P ), my theather was full (free screening), but most importantly, everyone else cheered and apparently loved the movie.
So it's probably not as great an accomplishment as turning back time to save the woman he loves, but Superman shattered box office records in the Philippines this week.
"Man of Steel," a rebooted version of the defender of truth, justice and the American way, easily navigated cultural barriers to rack up the equivalent of $1.7 million on 466 screens across the Southeast Asian country this week. Warner Bros. said that accounted for 90 percent of the box office market share.
It marks the biggest opening day ever for a movie in the Philippines.
The film opens in the United States on Friday. Some industry observers predict it will gross roughly $100 million over the weekend.
In other box office news, "This is the End" continued to out-perform projections, racking up $7.8 million domestically on its first full day of release. The apocalyptic comedy's distributor is revising its estimates upwards and now predicts the film will generate in the mid-$30 million range through the weekend.
The comedy follows A-list actors like Seth Rogen and James Franco as they try to survive the end of the world. It opened on Tuesday night.
