Mole 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2003 From Zap2it.com Already "Matrix Revolutions" is the third-highest Wednesday opening ever, just behind "Star Wars: Episode One -- The Phantom Menace" at $28.5 mil and "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" at $26.2 mil, so expect this $24 mil opening day earlier this week to parlay into a pretty big weekend despite the poor reviews for the third part of this trilogy. Bottom line: people want to see what happens to Trinity and Neo and this answers the cliffhanger that the "Reloaded" movie ended with, and left so many people unsatisfied. The Thursday one-day opening of $42.5 mil earlier this year (in May) -- behind the "Spider-Man" one-day records -- led "Reloaded" to the second best opening weekend of all time at $91.7 million. Expect some of the edge to be taken off, but it will be a healthy winner for the weekend for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenbomb 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2003 I'll still see it the sunday after thanksgiving btw, Mole, is the 'In America it's a joke' shirt in your sig available in black, too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted November 7, 2003 I haven't seen ANY ads for the movie at all...not ONE fucking one. Compare that to when the last one came out and people treated it like it was christmas and just like I expected, Reloaded turned out to the be the Green shitty sweater from Granny.

Tawren 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2003 I'll go see it, I'm sure everyone will, but after 2, maybe 3, good weeks of business, this thing will fall and fall sharply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2003 The fact that it's R rated makes the numbers more impressive. I think I'll buy Reloaded this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2003 Is there anything big coming out between now and December 17th? Once LOTR comes out the Matrix is dead, but if it has the full month until then it should make the 200-250 mil by then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2003 Cat in the Hat could do what Nemo did to Reloaded. Granted, I doubt that would be much, but it could skim a few mil. I don't know what to think about M&C. Has that been on the shelf for a while or did they just start previews early? Because I remember seeing a preview for that on Catch Me If You Can. That has me thinking this movie is not going to be anything special. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were originally going to release it in June, but when it started getting Oscar buzz they switched it to November in order to have a better chance.

Guest Frank The Tank Report post Posted November 7, 2003 I want to see Revolutions, but the reviews I have read haven't really been good and I'm not in a mood to see a really slow paced chatty movie right now. I'll be skipping this and seeing Elf instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Frank The Tank Report post Posted November 7, 2003 I'm not in a mood to see a really slow paced chatty movie right now Good, because it's the exact opposite of that. Really, based on the reviews everyone said it was exactly like Reloaded and that's how I found Reloaded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted November 7, 2003 There's combat galore in this movie. If anything, the dialogue is what's lacking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
