That seems a bit extreme.

I could understand being mad at Mockingjay not being in IMAX due to the presence of Interstellar, but to dismiss the latter completely in all formats is a little odd in my eyes. I take it you're not a fan of Nolan's previous works?

Whaaaaaaaaaa?? No way, it's not like every post from that dude in the Interstellar thread is pre-determined bashing.

Why would I be mad at Mockingjay? Paramount booked Interstellar in IMAX venues for a solid month. They're the ones denying audiences a chance to see Mockingjay on the biggest screens. So yes, I'm boycotting Interstellar en totale.

Sorry if what I said came out wrong. Meant to say one thing, but something else came out. :/

Anyway, thanks for the clarification.

Big Hero Six will do well, but it'll do the same as the last couple of Disney films, start off slightly under the radar, but pick up momentum through Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I fully endorse this statement

[spiderfan1985]

Well I am going to see Big Hero 6 this weekend if nothing else happens. It looks to good to pass up. I may slip Interstellar in too, but if not this weekend then next one I have off.

[Hubunkey]

I'm gonna go see Interstellar this weekend just because jscoggins is supporting Mockingjay and then I will boycott Mockingjay because I don't like The Hunger Games films

The kiddos wanna see Big Hero 6 but they wanna wait until the theatre won't be so packed in a few weeks

I'll be seeing Big Hero 6. And if you see Interstellar. i hope you have almost 3 and half hours free to spare. That's including with the trailers or close to it.

Everyone should have 3.5 hours to spare to see Interstellar.

Eh. I guess we'll see this weekend if you're right or not.

[Chaotic]

There isnt an hour of trailers. If you don't have 3 hours to spare on the weekend, might as well stay home.

Okay, I should say a little over 3 hours after trailers.

It's Nirvana for movie lovers according to the TV spot I just saw.

Oh I will. I really don't mind such long films. If they grab me early and hold me I'm fine. It looks great, but Big Hero 6 has FREAKING BAYMAX! I want one.


I am seriously going to buy a toy of this guy just to sit it on my shelf. He will hold my freaking Blu-ray when it comes out.

Already have my tix for Wednesday on 70mm IMAX. To all the Mockinjay comments I'd rather see Interstellar on IMAX than Mockingjay. Interstellar demands to be seen on 70mm. Mockingjay not so much.

Not Impressed

I agree with the Walrus up there. I'm obviously going to see both, and in the theater no less, which for me is a rare thing these days!

But I'm happy to be seeing Interstellar at a 15/70 IMAX theater. I can still find a good, if not IMAX, theater in which to see a non-IMAX Mockingjay. It's still going to be pretty kickass, no matter what.

And, consider, Mockingjay is just part 1 of a finale to a trilogy. Interstellar is the WHOLE POTATO!
