Will you see Wolverine in the theater opening week? - Blu-ray Forum

Blu-Buddha · 04-26-2009, 10:15 PM

Our booker has booked Wolverine on 2 of our 6 screens. I think he's nuts but he say's it's tracking very well. I told him I didn't think there's that much interest in seeing it - especially since it was leaked online. He said it's only been downloaded about 70,000 times which won't make a huge dent in business... (really, only 70,000?).

So, will you see Wolverine in the theater opening week?

I'll probably see it in the theater, but I don't know if it will be opening weekend or not.

I just saw several commercails for this & it looked like it would be A cool movie !

Mike53421 · 04-26-2009, 10:35 PM

I don't plan to anymore. That 70,000 download stat though may be misleading, people could download 1 copy and burn it for say... 5 friends.

Regardless it'll be enjoyable, but I don't plan on it.

brewp13 · 04-26-2009, 10:40 PM

I'll definitely see it in theatres but I don't know if I'll go opening weekend, probably during the day the following week when its less crowded.

Stoudman · 04-26-2009, 10:41 PM

I got free movie cash for it, so....yeah! :P

coolmilo · 04-26-2009, 10:44 PM

I plan to start going to the movie theater every weekend until fall starting next weekend. I loves thems blockbuster movies!!! Wolverine is the beginning of the movie season and I can't wait.

PH3AR · 04-26-2009, 10:56 PM

Pretty much what I'd expect from a lot of users here. 17.50 per original X-men movie and it comes with a free ticket? I wasn't about to see it in the theatre even before it was leaked and I learned what they did with Deadpool, but if I can see it for free, I'm not gonna skip it.

I think I'll be taking the family out Monday or Tuesday following opening weekend since that's when most of us will be available.

Wolverine is great and all, and Sabertooth is too, but they're not all there is to the movie... Don't assume the film will be good overall just because the titular character is.

Wow, I only came up with 9. Then again, the Amazon order that has the odd one out won't be coming until mid-May, so fat lot of good that'd do.

p.s. You guys who downloaded it and now refuse to pay for it should be ashamed of yourself. At least decide to buy it when it hits home video, come on.

i think the mod's should take a stand against people who are openly talking about stealing movies and give them all a vacation. ridiculous

oh and if anyone wants to share their movie money...

mtbkr · 04-27-2009, 12:33 AM

not very many movies that would get my butt into a theater chair anymore. the whole movie theater experience sucks. this will be no exception.

Bond007 · 04-27-2009, 12:34 AM

I plan to see it on Sunday the 3rd.

(Fe)Man · 04-27-2009, 12:35 AM

Nope. I saw the workprint and it honestly had nothing in it for me. I wasn't excited for it when it was announced or when the trailers started, so the workprint just sealed the deal for me.

Anthony P · 04-27-2009, 01:47 AM

it is a movie I am interested in, and the plan is to see it in the theatres but not sure if it will be opening week, I tend to like to wait a bit when it is not that crowded.

pBLU-RAYs3 · 04-27-2009, 02:05 AM

No. I'd rather watch X-Men 3.

The Mr Safety · 04-27-2009, 02:55 AM

Most definitely going to see it in theaters opening day. Maybe a midnight showing if my local theater gets one. Can't wait.

Blu Titan · 04-27-2009, 02:55 AM

YESSSSS, I knew this thread was coming!

seigneur_rayden · 04-27-2009, 03:11 AM

I can't wait to see it.

I wont see it opening week, but will the week after.
