we just got out of ready player one, I disagree some because I do think it’ll be a classic for kids today and maybe slightly older, may not Spielberg’s best but it hit all the right notes and will be rewatchable for a long long time. We both enjoyed it but then we were young kids at the tail end of the 80s and got a lot of the referencesKristatos wrote:Saw Ready Player One yesterday. I doubt that it'll be regarded as a classic in years to come the way Jaws, Raiders, Close Encounters etc are today, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
also two Japanese stars and charactersKristatos wrote:Can't say I'm surprised, it's obviously going to be huge. Meanwhile, Ready Player One dropped a mere 40% in its second week, indicating strong word of mouth. It's almost reached $400 million worldwide, and has yet to open in Japan, where it should do well, given that Japan is videogame central.

now this is interesting, it does have an audience but not one that when out to see it. IMO in the next few years theater, digital and Home release are going to drop very close if not the same day just to capitalize on the positive press and ads leading up to theatrical release, and beat the speed of bad word of mouth.Kristatos wrote:Blade Runner 2049 may have disappointed at the cinema box office, but it has been a steady seller on home video: http://www.syfy.com/syfywire/after-lack ... home-video
I was saying in general, right now Hollywood fears bad word of mouth and RT. Cutting out both might be tempting, for like Babs releasing anther polished turdKristatos wrote:But BR2049 had great word of mouth. A vocal minority said that they found it too slow and boring - I think they were people who weren't familiar with the original movie, and were expecting something more action-oriented - but most of the comments I heard from people who saw it before me were positive.
