Guest HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted May 14, 2003 Report Posted May 14, 2003 Tomorrow. 4pm show. I will arrive at 3:15pm to get my seats. Plus, Freddy vs. Jason preview will be shown! I am excited.
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted May 15, 2003 Report Posted May 15, 2003 I can't wait for the "I was disapointed" posts. I can see them coming from a mile away. Sure it might be a good movie, but its not going to live up to all the hype and expectations...
Guest Mik at Cornell Posted May 16, 2003 Report Posted May 16, 2003 Hate to say I told you guys so, but I told ya'll motherfuckers. Warner Bros. has set a new opening day box office record with the mega-hyped sci-fi sequel The Matrix Reloaded which on Thursday grossed an astounding $42,475,000, according to estimates, from 3,603 theaters. The remarkable tally included grosses from Wednesday night previews from 2,750 theaters, or about three-fourths of the total playdates. That was enough to beat the previous record set last year by Spider-Man which grossed $39.4M on its opening Friday but also included Thursday night previews. Matrix is rated R and began its previews at 10pm while Spider-Man was rated PG-13 and started its previews at 12:01am. Warner Bros. is not separating the Wednesday night preview gross from the total, but according to industry trade papers the figure is estimated to be in the vicinity of $10M. The incredible $42.5M tally also outgunned the $30.1M opening day of Star Wars Episode II which, like Reloaded, opened on Thursday of this week last year with night-before previews.
