^ What? I find that real hard to believe. SHow me a link to that fact.
I'll try to find reference for it. It's something I've heard for years.
I'll have to get back to you in just a bit though...It's um...time to do some stuff for the kids...ahem...

My usual Googling skills are letting me down on this. The information I'm finding is mostly anecdotal ...But rest assured, Christmas Day is certainly ONE of the biggest box office days, if not THE biggest, each year. July 4th and Thanksgiving are also traditionally huge box office days.

A friend of mine who was a projectionist for years says these are days when they get more business for films across the board, as whole families set off for the theater after their festivities have wound down, usually in the afternoon. My friend says they would frequently see family members split off, with patrons of various ages and genders seeing whatever interests them.

Overall, it's just a huge day for multiplexes.

I'll try to find something statistically concrete when time permits.
 
This link has a poor copy of the trailer, some SMALL parts are watchable.[/quote]

I have been looking for at least two hours for the trailer. Thanks!
 
Are you guys trying to get banned. LOL

BTW Tim Story actually responded to my message regarding the trailer today. I said the trailer was awesome but only one complaint. The title at the end comes and goes to fast. It needs to sit up there so people can actually have time to read it that don't know the title. I mean it's like 2 seconds.

His response:

"That's a good note."

LOL Merry XMAS everyone.

-Later

Meet the Fockers holds the XMAS record which was 19 million but nowhere's near the biggies from the Summer.

Christmas day is not one of the most lucrative days of the year, but it is important (if not the biggest day) of the holiday season. the holiday (approximately the two week period surrounding christmas and new years) sees days where movies gross similar numbers all week long, as if every day was a weekend day. so the longer FOX can hold up the hype for the trailer including Christmas day and the days following, the better.

Probably the most important note they need to consider.
That title appears and is gone WAY too fast.
And it doesn't help that the words "fantastic Four" are nowhere to be seen.
 
Oh I'm sure there are big differences between holidays and normal days but I'm surprised XMAS would be one of the top box office days since I'd figure most people would be home.

Hey, don't knock TMNT. Fantastic Four (2005) was good for the same reasons those movies (except 3) were good. :up:

Hey I loved TMNT. One of my guilty pleasures. The silliness was great. It was ment to be silly, it was silly, and that's that. :woot:

Neither was Spider-Man in the sequel, or X-Men. Spider-Man 3 just has the red and black logo with a 3, X-Men just had the metallic X. People know the 4 means FF.

AD why did you not ask about the online release, the foreign guys are dying?
 
I was just watching one of the bootlegs and realized

I think the priest is Brian Posehn

I'm almost 100% sure that is Brian Posehn as the priest. I'm pretty sure he's a comic geek. Next, Patton Oswalt as Galactus. HA!

Once again, advanced dark proves he knwos very little about the box office.

christmay day is enormous. Many movies open on the day itself instead of the typical wednesday or friday. ALL movies increase from the previous day by large percentages too.

Its funny, all of my movie theaters are dead on Christmas day.
 
Me and about 8-9 members of my family go to a movie every Christmas evening after dinner. Usually it's the younger aunts, uncles, cousins while the older relatives stay home and chew the fat. And everytime we go, the theater is PACKED. So I have to agree that Christmas is a huge day for the box office.

BTW, I've talked everyone into going to NATM this year.
