anybody catch the batman trailer?

No Batman for me. Although I did catch the Alvin and the Chipmunks trailer, which got a surprisingly solid reaction and lots of chatter.

nope man.

From what i have heard it will be shown in selected theatres with prints of The simpsons.

I am wondering did anyone catch the horrendous teaser of chipmunk movie & hopefully good HORTON HEARS WHO.

holy shit. So we can expect it to make money.

what about HORTON HEARS WHO?

Not much for that.

Good reactions for Chipmunks, The Game Plan and Bee Movie (I'm thinking this is going to be a big hit).

WOW who knew that Chipmunks would get great reaction.

Damnit i was looking forward to Jim Carrey+Stever carrel animated movie. Sounds like it could flop.

I think it should still do well (if Meet the Robinsons can pull $90m+ in March, this is getting $100m+), it's just not that funny of a trailer except for like one scene.

Ya but one can hope it does $150+ million domestically and $200+ million overseas because of the star power and the fact it will be the only animation movie from january-april.

I watched the Chimpmunks Trailer online it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Does anybody know if They brought back any of the Orginal Voices of the Chimpmunks because Alvin sounds almost the same.

Simpsons sold out the 7:30 show at Union Square (yes, I know it's the theater that "always sells out.")

But it did sell out 7 hours early.

Has now sold out the 9:30 and 10:00 shows at that theater.

This is an EVENT movie.

records are going to be broken ex: The highest grossing movie related on tv show

Seriously that theater is alwasy sold out for any decently hyped film...Well it is manhatten it is sort of like going to the Metreon in SF(That si why I usually goto AMC Van Ness).

I am not knocking anyone. I thought the film was a fun film and defininitely hope it does better than I am predicting but I still just don't see this breaking out of the 30s just yet. What I fear is this film being massively frontloaded. But I do hope I am wrong and would love to see it do Squeeks insane numbers of 80-90 million...Actually I would really love to see it do $151,116,517 or more but I really can not see this doing the macho business it woudl of 8 years ago.

No one's arguing that. But the majority of movies don't sell those theaters out 7-8 hours before the scheduled showtime.

More early sellouts:

Chicago

Philadelphia
The Bridge Cinema De Lux: 7:20

If all theaters are this jammed, then we'll see some spillover business. I think Chuck & Larry and Transformers will benefit the most since they have a similar demo as the Simpsons.

Got a great reaction, as did the Alvin trailer which made me want to hurl.

Movie

My thoughts are in the review section, but the crowd I saw it with loved it. And I witnessed something that I've seen maybe a handful of times and never at an afternoon show - the crowd burst into applause at the end. If people everywhere loved it as much as my crowd did, not only is it going to have a huge opening weekend, but it's going to be in theaters for quite sometime. Hell, it might breathe new life into the show.
