Also, Savages will be a Hard-R crime thriller which will also be putting it in danger of failing.

well its not really about it failing..you have to think in terms of overall dollars they have and will put into it..it's a smaller crime flick which Universal isn't going to put much advertising dollars into based on the weekend it is coming out. I'm sure it didn't cost them that much to make it so they aren't positioning it to even come close to what Spidey will do, they just want the option out there for people who aren't into the whole "family movie trip" thing..it's the same reason they put out horror movies or things like harold and kumar 3D christmas during the holidays

I'm not seeing the logic to this, lol.

If anything, it being a hard R rating means that the movie won't hold back and actually be a savage. I'll watch.

I heard it is similar to pulp fiction so consider my ticket already purchased

Yeah, you're right. I'm just royally P.O.'D that TASM isn't alone anymore that weekend.'

I guess it might as well be though considering the competition.

However, there's still that lingering thought though... what if Savages dominated over TASM or worse, G.I. Joe from the previous weekend rules for that week with TASM taking 2nd place.

And mine as well. Oliver Stone is an elite director.

Add in Travolta and Del Toro and that sounds like a great film

Who really cares if it doesn't get to first place? It is almost a promise to be given a sequel and it will definitely have its fanbase and it will be a huge number.

Lol I'd be more worried about GI Joe than Savages but I see your point. Don't worry, bro, let the bean counters worry about that kinda stuff, you just sit back and enjoy the movie how ever many times you go see it.

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT wait........ Are you gonnsa go see that over TASM (again) that weekend?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

of course not..Spidey is first and whatever else I miss is after. He gets priority that weekend but I DO want to see savages

 

[Anno_Domini]

If you're going to get ******** about who watches what, then....I'll watch Savages on that weekend

I mean, you could always do both, right? lol it's a long weekend

I care. Because it not being number one that weekend would give Avengers fanboys and Nolanites ample ammo to throw iin our faces about how those films (The Avengers and TDKR) were superior and always were gonna be, even though I do want it to be a great film over anything else but I digress.

After your reaction, I think I will.

 

[AF3619]

the only thing worrying me is if critics would like it, i mean, not that the movie would be bad,just if early screening critics hate it noone will want to see it

 

[SpideyFan866]

No other film except TASM will be watched that week by me good sir. I'm tempted to never watch the Raimi films again after that week.

Who cares what they think?? If you like the flick and you're happy with it and it does really well, forget them. Plus just use the common sense, the flick will be number one that weekend if we are going off of the sheer popularity of the CHARACTER. Forget the naysayers when it comes to how they feel about the reboot overall, thats internet chatter and that doesn't always equate to real world chatter..remember snakes on a plane? Yeah that was supposed to be the hit of the summer if we judge it off of internet hype and how'd that turn out? Same with Scott Pilgrim vs the world..great flick but a bomb. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The internet isn't the real world..at least when movies are concerned

True. I see your point. I'm overreacting but come on.. are you telling me you wouldn't be even a little upset if by a miracle TASM bombed but was still a fantastic movie?

I would. I'd be happy with the film but still peeved by the performance (mainly because I'd wish more would've seen how good it was).

Of course I'd be a little bit tight about that since we all love the character and want it to succeed on every level but I also don't see it happening. I mean I just don't so of course I'd be surprised if it did but kids love him, families love him, he's got fans young and old and a lot of those fans aren't on the internet. They see the mask and the webs and they want to see it, they don't care who is under the mask. I've used the analogy before but when Michael Keaton got replaced by Val Kilmer, I was a kid and of course to me, Keaton was batman but at the end of the day, I wanted to see batman and didn't care who was playing him. I see batman, I see the batmobile and I see the toys I got and it was like ok let's go see batman forever. There was never a doubt in my mind that I wouldn't see it. Franchise characters are going to be played by different actors...many people said James Bond would die once Connery was replaced and last I checked, the 23rd bond flick is coming out this winter.

There is a website that rates the trailers a week in advance or something right? Could someone tell me what that website is, and if there isn't one please don't call me crazy for remembering posts that dont actually exist.

I have some sorta bad news guys. TASM is no longer alone the fourth of July weekend.

Oliver Stone's Savages is now booked for that friday, July 6th. TASM will release 3 days earlier on Tuesday, July 3rd (of course).

What this will mean for the success of TASM is unknown but it would seem that Savages won't pose much a a threat to TASM which is still the only other new (and major) release set for that week.

I still think Spidey will be the number 1 movie that weekend.
