Information from test screenings is not something that's generally common knowledge and most tracking is done based on marketing and awarene

Posted by: secretstalker (a.k.a TheWeekendWarrior) on Mar 06, 15:51 in response to lobogotti's post is SUCKP really tracking that big? 35M???? really?...

And in that sense, Warner Bros. have done a great job with the commercials making it look like a cool movie that will appeal to Zack Snyder's demographic. Granted, RS tend to be way high (or low) with early predictions and it really comes down to opening weekend with them, which doesn't explain why they still have BATLA so low. I'm REALLY curious to see what MTC posts tomorrow.

RS: [BATLA] mid 20s [GWRRH] low 30s [MNMOM] mid teens secretstalker Mar 06, 15:14

wow, looks like they are still very bullish on GWRRH, not really budging on BATLA {nm} lobogotti Mar 06, 15:18

Well, they already lowered their RRH prediction by $10 million; I'm still not convinced it can win the weekend. {nm} secretstalker Mar 06, 15:24

even if it opens 30-32? it will be interesting what MTC has them all at. i certainly want BATLA to open big. {nm} lobogotti Mar 06, 15:32

Sounds about right on Red. Bullcrap on Sucker {nm} filmboy20 Mar 06, 15:19

Bullcrap on Sucker is right. Should be double that. {nm} BionicMoron Mar 06, 16:07

my mom (late 50's) doesnt go to many movies but asked me if gwrrh will be any good. islander Mar 06, 15:29

The fact they're not showing it to NYC critics until Weds night should give you the answer. {nm} secretstalker Mar 06, 15:32

a lot of critics (see twilight) have trouble reviewing these kinds of movies {nm} Moviesnob Mar 06, 15:37

present company not included :-) {nm} Moviesnob Mar 06, 15:37

They're actually kinder to them than most average non-fans. Twilight and Eclipse have RT meters above 50% {nm} tribefan695 Mar 06, 15:46

is SUCKP really tracking that big? 35M???? really? thought screen tests were horrible? {nm} lobogotti Mar 06, 15:47

Maybe they have Battle: LA at that level because the marketing isn't as effective as some would like to think. Jay_Beezy Mar 06, 16:16

I have not been very interested, but when I see trailers, it piques my interest, a lot. {nm} ndmaster Mar 06, 16:43

The trailer is pretty good. The problem is the tv ads, which suck donkey balls. {nm} BionicMoron Mar 06, 16:59

The trailer has a good number of internet film bloggers by the balls. For the general public, it's hard to tell. {nm} Jay_Beezy Mar 06, 17:19

Those may have just been rumors. {nm} tribefan695 Mar 06, 15:51

SUCKP looks awesome. Certainly more original than anything else coming in the near future. {nm} HarryWarden Mar 06, 17:37

Suckp looks awful and inagree with Boxoffce.com tracking of 23 opening. RS has been off {nm} filmboy20 Mar 06, 17:59

i hope BATLA only makes 19Mill I shorted at 114 lol {nm} scoomp Mar 07, 03:47

you can always reverse your position! {nm} ndmaster Mar 07, 06:07

SUCKP is going to get a lot of money the others won't from IMAX sales {nm} TVObsessee Mar 09, 23:36
