Great start so far

US trailer
http://prog.videorelay.com/webflow/down ... l-high.mov

Finally! It's about time to start some marketing in the USA...

The trailer is pretty good, but the international trailer is still much better.

Thanks for posting it here, mary!

It's 'okayish', but the German trailer is much better! :???:

It would have been better if they just took the German trailer with subtitles...

In other news:

Downfall still stands at 100% Fresh and 9/10 after 7 reviews at RT:

Quite impressive for a german film to receive high marks that isnt about techno dancing!

UPDATE:

Well, the movie is being released in one theatre, in NYC this weekend and I am hoping for a PTA of at least $20,000. If anyone lives in NYC, I strongly suggest you to check it out

Here is also a raving review by James Berardinelli:

http://www.movie-reviews.colossus.net/m ... nfall.html

wow berardinelli gives it the same grade as shark tale!

Movies about the late dictator often disappoint because directors are wary of the subject matter; Hirschbiegel pushes forward, telling his story without varnish. The result is a movie whose forcefulness kept me thinking about the subject and its treatment long after the lights had returned to the theater. Downfall and Bruno Ganz are deserving of Oscars they will not get (although Downfall was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film).

Well said! :razz:

It got bad review from New York Times....

Very bad sign. :???:

Did you read his review? I got the impression that he said to himself before the screening: 'I want this movie to be bad! I want this movie to be bad! I want...' :???:

Maybe.

However, many arthouse audience in New York believe NY times' review.


BTW, New York Daily News also gives this movie a negative review.
New York Post gives this movie a very positive review.

I think in the case of this movie the curiosity will simply prevail. People will want to see it despite the reviews (unless they are horrendous).

That NY Times Review is crap.

It is currently at 91% on RottenTomatoes now.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amazing run so far. It might very well cross $1,000,000 there if it goes like and and become quite a huge success for those standards.

Worldwide, the movie has already passed $53 million and with success in UK and the States as well as other foreign markets, I hope for at least $85 million worldwide.

Well, the movie has opened to good reviews and decent numbers in the USA, considering it opened only on one screen in NYC.
