Mungwater 588 Posted June 19, 2019 I guess they have some extra scenes that are at the end of the credits. What a blatant money grab to take the top billing from avatar. Fvcking sham, no way in hell im going to sit three hours to watch 15 or so minutes at the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way streaming services and VOD are crushing box office receipts, studios are only interested in releasing films that are a guaranteed ROI. They love Marvel movies since they’re appropriate for kids between the ages of 5 and 80. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luckily it’s easier than ever for a small budget team of film makers to make a pretty decent movie. There’s a lot of good independent films out there. Just wish the blockbuster companies would be riskier again and quit writing the same story over and over again with a different theme and set of characters. I watched a pretty good independent film the other month called Primer. Only about 70 minutes long and it’s A++. You should check it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted June 19, 2019 They are close to Avatar for biggest movie ever and hope this can put them over the edge. It’s smart thing to do and they should even work that into the marketing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just wish my options when I went to the theater were more than just 1 superhero movie or the 9 other sh!t films. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember it leaving the theater then seeing ads for it being back in the theater about a year later. At least this movie added some extra content. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 12,407 Posted June 19, 2019 They make bookoo bucks in China. China's oppressive policies don't seem to bother Hollywood. I often wonder how they feel about the forced abortions for ethnic minorities there. I know they love abortion, but forced? What would they call that? Murder or manslaughter? What am I saying. It's just a zygot. Pay no mind to the face, arms and legs. It's just molecules fused together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No shame in re-releasing the movie. Both Avatar AND Titanic were re-released in theaters for money-grabs and stat padding also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You’re right - plenty of really good independent and foreign films. I never go to the movies anymore and don’t miss it. I remember reading great things about Priner years ago. Thanks for the recommendation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no doubt in my mind they are going to do this to try and retake or pad the #1 spot. A "money-grab", as HT calls it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
