Sci-Fi Edge of Tomorrow - Part 1

[titansupes]

When the trailers came out, I thought Live. Die. Repeat. would have made a good title... weird, weird way to go about it, though.

Anyway, saw this movie last week. I thought it was just okay.

There's a first time for everything, and here they're experiment with changing the title of a movie when it comes out on blu ray.

 

[dude stannis]

My friend was actually calling it Live. Die. Repeat. when we went to see it. I honestly love it as a title too.

I haven't seen this yet and plan on picking it up on Blu-Ray but then title change is really silly. Even on iTunes it's called "Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow". WHY WB?

Just looked it up...holy crap. lol

That is a crazy movie, changing the title of the movie for the BD release? Especially when the movie showed legs at the BO and went on to earn a pretty good amount.

Still buying this as soon as it comes out though, great film.

 

[MadVillainy]

I think Live/Die/Repeat is a better title. Just weird that they decided to change it now

 

[Eddie Dean]

What am I going to do? Put this under L in my collection or under E? Arrrrgh!!!

 

[Schlosser85]

So how many people are now going to have a hard time finding it because they changed the title after its release?

 

[MadVillainy]

My guess is not many.
Type in Live Die Repeat into Amazon and Walmart you get Edge of Tomorrow as the first option. Then if you type in Edge of TOmorrow you get the same options. I dont think it'll hurt anything. Not sure if it will help either

When they kept putting "Live. Die. Repeat." in their advertising, I wondered why they didn't give it that title instead. It certainly is more attention-grabbing than "Edge of Tomorrow", but still not as cool as "All You Need Is Kill".

I do love how the front makes it look like there's someone name with the last name "Edgeoftomorrow" as part of the main cast.

This is going to slowly crawl its way to 100 million domestic and be the first non MI film for Tom Cruise since War of the Worlds to do so.

 

[Tron Bonne]

So, is Live, Die, Repeat the actual new title of the film? What a weird packaging.

So, is Live, Die, Repeat the actual new title of the film? What a weird packaging.

There's a rumor going around that yes, the NEW semi-official title is 'Live, Die, Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow'. It HAS happened in the past when titles get changed after its release... but it's never been this drastic. Usually it's a new subtitle or whatever.

When I say semi-official, I don't think WB will own up to the change. Even Variety was kinda on the fence if this IS a change or just a marketing thing.

 

[Daltonio]

I can't stand the idea of the title change. It doesn't matter what the official title is; I saw it as "Edge of Tomorrow" so that's what I'll always think of it as.

 

[Evil Twin]

As far as I'm concerned, the official title is whatever pops up on the screen when you're watching it.

lol its not that big a deal

lol its not that big a deal

Nah I guess it's not, it's just annoying as hell lol

Should drag itself across the $100M DOM mark today.

 

[scifiwolf]

Such a shame about this movie. It was pretty awesome sci-fi entertainment.

 

[kedrell]

It did ok after all is said and done. Made more than 2X it's high production budget WW so the studio will ultimately make a tidy profit from this. Nobody's losing their job over this one. This movie is this year's Pacific Rim, except..y'know actually being a good movie at the same time. This wasn't franchise material to begin with so it doesn't need a 2.5X or better return on investment that the blockbuster franchises need to keep going.

 

[Boom]

Sci-fi has been on a roll this year.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Edge of Tomorrow, Godzilla, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Snowpiercer, Guardians of the Galaxy.

Hopefully we can throw Interstellar into the mix later this year. Very solid outing for the genre.

What am I going to do? Put this under L in my collection or under E? Arrrrgh!!!

Put it under the original title of "All You Need is Kill", it'll not only throw off anyone who looks at your collection but you yourself.

 

[kedrell]

Why they stopped reporting it with $8k left to go to $100m DOM last week is a real head scratcher. It's like when Disney pulled Cap2 out just $200-$300k away from $260m. I just don't get their thinking.

 

[Tron Bonne]

It could be that the amount of cinema's ordering it at that point was low enough that they decided to pull it. Not sure how that works, but I assume a studio will not bother to ship out a film anymore if only a small portion of theaters are still ordering.

 

[kedrell]

But it literally needed just that last day to cross the threshold. The timing here is very coincidental.
