Better than any other (yes, even Superman). 28/60, but most likely higher. Superman got boos at my place... Snakes everyone went crazy..ghost rider there was 50% clapping etc...Omean people were like "cool"... my super ex girlfriend got tons of laughs...

Superman got booed because everyone hates that Singer left X3 to do Superman, they are just jealous 2. Snakes on a Plane got the BEST reaction I've EVER seen to a trailer. It wowed me! So... My predict is: Opening- $52.8 mil Total- $99.9 mil _________________ trixster wrote: shut the fuck up zwackerm, you're out of your fucking element trixster wrote: chippy is correct Rev wrote: Fuck Trump

"Snakes," which has developed a surprisingly high interest level on the Internet in the past year, will launch without press screenings prior to its first late-evening showings on Aug. 17. The pic, starring Samuel L. Jackson, will open at 2,500-plus playdates. New Line said Monday the decision was the result of the fan support for "Snakes," directed by David Ellis. "Understanding that they would be the driving force behind the film, we decided early on they should be the first to see it," the mini-major said. "They will have the opportunity on Thursday evening, Aug. 17, at 10 p.m. shows across the country. We are not planning any advance media or promotional screenings prior to that." http://www.variety.com/story.asp?l=stor ... 46950&c=13 So around 2500 theaters OW. What a stupid excuse about the no press screenings. _________________ "People always want to tear you down when you're on top, like Napoleon back in the Roman Empire" - Dirk Diggler

What a stupid excuse about the no press screenings. Basically they went this route so they could have a marketing gimmick to throw out at SLJ's Comic Con appearance on Friday. Besides, you know that even if Joe Q Python gave a stunningly heartbreaking performance critics would still slash and burn it.

It's a film called 'Snakes on a Plane' for goshsakes. Critics aren't really the audience for it. I knew ever since this whole thing started that it wouldn't have press screenings. There's no reason to. Either you want to see it or you don't. Nice to know it's going to have early showings. I've got to go to one of those. It'll be like a party.

While calling it a bomb is too extreme in BKB's case, he is right though that its being quite overpredicted but I still think an opening in the low 20s makes more sense and its still a hit no matter.

Certaintly not 3000 though, I do think at this stage the buzz has alot to do with the internet as I saw the reaction for SOAP trailer that got "what the hell was that?" type giggles. Also its jump on the yahoo buzz and imdb wasnt that huge or significant. 20+ million OW sounds reasonable but definately not the insane 30 million OW

If the level of excitement for Snakes on a Plane was representative of the world outside the internet, I think many of us would be predicting more in the 200m range. The reality is around (at a high) 60m at this point.

Shack Devil's Advocate Joined: Sun Jul 31, 2005 2:30 am Posts: 40589	I'm thinking low 20s opening for now. It's being marketed as a straight thriller, only the posters are funny. I don't think the real world is in on the joke, it's all the internet, this isn't building hype like Scary Movie I don't believe. Also, the audience for this is extremely limited, it's basically young males and the random internet dork. So it'll do well, but 40 mil+ and 50 mil+? Nah. _________________ Shack’s top 50 tv shows - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=90227
