I think we have the first bomb of the summer. No Thursday shows, weak sales, mediocre reviews, long run time, confused general public {nm}

Our polling for MD weekend shows Poltergeist well ahead of Tomorrowland. I hope it's a good remake RollingThunder May 17, 14:09

Reviews starting to come in for Tomorrowland...first reviews at least seem good GMov May 17, 14:10

I hope so because the commercials feel a bit hollow. I never count Disney out, though. {nm} RollingThunder May 17, 14:19

you're reading different ones from me. Variety said it was mediocre. Forbes said the ending ruins the film. Devin tweeted he didnt like {nm} Moviesnob May 17, 14:22

Warner should have held Mad Max for this weekend and as I said before, had a stronger campaign to attract women. Prob cost them 5-10 mil {nm} Moviesnob May 17, 14:58

It's tracking for a pretty respectable 50 million dollar weekend, which isn't a guarantee of anything but isn't likely to lead to "bomb" {nm} notfabio May 17, 15:42

i would be shocked if it made $50 million {nm} professor smartbrain May 17, 15:51

if Clooney can get 'The American' to 20 million, he can get a disney scifi film to 50. {nm} tawdryhepburn May 18, 00:32

I thought the Forbes review in particular was insightful as to this one point of speculation (inside) Raven9167 May 17, 15:45

yeah kinda neh GMov May 17, 16:03

"meh" not "neh" GMov May 17, 16:03

my girlfriend, who worked on the soundtrack, just said "I work at Disney and I dont know what its about" {nm} Moviesnob May 17, 15:06

Tomorrowland is The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones with a Disney paint job RazorHawk May 17, 17:20

darn phone... thingys got moved around some how {nm} RazorHawk May 17, 17:22

i got the gist {nm} Moviesnob May 17, 17:34

^ This made me chuckle. {nm} Initech May 17, 19:24

Poltergeist is screening for critics the night before opening, read into that what you will... {nm} notfabio May 17, 17:20

So no reviews prior to that then? Probably doesn't matter, horror is typically bulletproof {nm} Raven9167 May 17, 18:01
