Well I'm glad it's doing gangbusters at your theatre cause at 7:00 PM on a Saturday night, the theatre lot is only a 1/4 Full for a movie that was 3/4 Filled when I saw it this afternoon.. Overall, the movie just has too many times of talk talk talk and not enough action and in the end, despite Hank's being the Jimmy Stewert of our time as it has been said, I think he was simply WRONG for this part.. I gave the movie a "D" and really wished X3 was out right now..

Da Vinci Code
1:30pm PDT
80-year-old one-screen non-stadium theatre, about 3-4% out of 1000 seats (I expected a lot more there, but...)

Trailers (That's all I recall):
Miss... (I can't recall the title, but I know an elderly lady is in it)
Who Killed the Electric Car?

Crowd reaction: Some laughs, and lots of silence, especially when the movie ended.

Mine: The movie was faithful to the story and scenes themselves, but it removed humor contained from the book and missed some important parts of them all. For the acting, everyone in it did their fine skills but did not fit into their roles--personally and physically--especially when they smiled at us a lot. For the music, let's not get over this--unless I say that compared to LOTR trilogy, I detest too much scoring contained in this one; in contrast to DVC, the saga's music was inspiring. For the thrills and shocks, great move from Ron Howard. As for the rest, what a great ride! And flashbacks were quite logical to understand rather than using it as useless trivia. Not as good as a book overall, but better than what most mass media critics believe.

Overall for me: B/B-, I would've give it B+ if I did not read the book.

What a great ride??? Thrills and shocks??? Really??? Problem is, is that there weren't enough Thrills and Shocks and this was far from a great ride.. That comes when X3 comes out..

I forgot to mention that sometimes the movie is as corny as a book. And why do you like to say "it sucks" everywhere in this forum?

Is this the infamous Ronnie's Cine?

Over the Hedge - 5/20/06
8:00pm showing
90% full (165-seat auditorium)

TRAILERS
Nacho Libre (some laughs)
Barnyard (lots of laughs)
Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (laughs and talk)
Happy Feet (lots of laughs)
Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties (lots of laughs)
Flushed Away (laughs and talk)

Great movie....lots of laughs throughout the film and clapping at the end.

BTW, before every showing of OTH at my theater they have a contest for the kids. An employee stands at the front of the auditorium with two trash cans and introduces a costumed skunk character (Stella from the film) who would walk up and down the rows and shake hands. Then the employee asks everyone to check under their seats for a character card. There are only two so after the kids find them and come to the front they would have to open the trash can and go through the trash to find a box. The boxes contained a prize for each person --- they were both gift certificates to restaurants in the area. It was a cute idea for the kids, they all seemed to like it.

Sellouts tonight:
The Lost City - 7:10 I 10:15
Mission: Impossible III - 8:15
Poseidon - 8:50 I 9:45 I 10:45

Surprisingly no DVC sellouts but it was still a very busy night at the theater (even had to park on the fifth level of the parking garage which I've never had to do on a Saturday night).

Saw an 8:10 Over the Hedge. About 85% full in a 200-seater.

Audience seemed to like it. I wasn't a fan.

Saw The Da Vinci Code again tonight (although I tried to see See No Evil, but it didn't work out...). Sold out every show today, according to the usher. Mine had a few people in the aisles.

can someone stop BKB's voicebox replaying this line
"That comes when X3 comes out.."

hes one of a number of people here who dismiss the da vinci code on a regular basis in apparent anticipation of X3


Anyway:

Saturday was actually busier at my local than friday. By a large margin. Daytime sellouts across the board and then a solid block sold out night schedule on prebooks alone.

Prebookings already accounting for more than 50% sold seats for sunday night here. Daytime buisness far heavier here than friday or saturday in bookings,

The night showings are actually selling a little less than the daytime ones, suffice to say daytime ones are selling very very well.

I saw a 4:05 showing of The Da Vinci Code.

Sorta dissapointed I saw it in a 178 seater. Had to sit in the third row. Wasn't so bad though. There were less than 10 seats empty.

Trailers were... Superman Returns, Invincible, The Lake House and The Devil Wears Prada.

I actually really liked the movie... The audience seemed to, too.
As I was leaving, I only saw an 8 o'clock showing already sold out. Pretty packed though.

Davinci decreased todat about 8% at my place...yesterday attendance was 5150...today attendance was only around 4800ish

on another note Hedge increased alot...and for my place that is good, as family movies suck it up, total attendance was over 1000

Shit.

At my theater today.

Um, can I interest you in a hug?? Or perhaps some High Grade Marijuana to calm your nerves?? That's 2 threads I've seen you in so far bitching about something.. First it was Zing sleeping during The DA VINCI CRAP and now your complaing about me whoring X3.. Hell, someone has to do it from all the negative effect it's been getting.. Take a deep breath.. RELAX.. If your really good after all this, I'll still send you a Christmas Card at the end of the year..

Yes my love.. It is and it was sort of surprising.. Perhaps most of the business was throughout the day..

My theater was more packed than I have ever seen it, except for Midnight ROTS. I mean, I was in shock.

It SOLD OUT EVERY showing from 4pm until Midnight, my showing. I see a nice Sat increase

These reports indicate a $30-$33m saturday so that puts it in line for a $84-$87m weekend.

my theater overstaurated it so there were alot of 50-70$. 6 of the 16 screens were DVC.

7,8,8:30,9:15,10,10:30 shows were sold out.

Watched DVC at 10:50. 50% sold out.
The highlite was the Shakira video "hips don't lie" ad in the ads at the start. It was a good video.

The movie started slow, then got good. When Teabing came in it good. He was the highlite. It was good until Teabing left. Then the ending got a little to long. However that last scene was good where he was kneeling at the tomb. That was so cool.

I give it B-. To long, to much needless talking about things. However the long conversation with teabing at his house was very interesting.

Can't wait for x-men 3.

heh yea your place got us on Sat
At least I can say my place was #1 in the south

Saw Over the Hedge (or, I had to). 400-seater, sold out.

Audience loved it. Sister loved it.

I thought it was okay.

(Very consistant throughout the whole day. It did $37,500 today. For the weekend, it did about $140,000 here. It dropped only 28% here, despite 3 less showtimes, and this is in the USA. I bet Canada is dropping even smaller).
