this is getting outta hand
I'll try to find reference for it. It's something I've heard for years.Advanced Dark said:^ What? I find that real hard to believe. SHow me a link to that fact.
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.Advanced Dark said:^ What? I find that real hard to believe. SHow me a link to that fact.

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.

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.

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.Malus said: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.

Excel said: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.

Patton was offered the role of the priest. So it's defenitly BrianWolvie said: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!
