Spy Kids 3D

[DLRFanatic]

Went to see (well actually snuck in after NEMO!) it today...I was pretty mad because all the little 4 year olds and their 30-40 year old parents in town showed up to see it today. We got the first 3 seats at the VERY FRONT of the theatre! Well, after the first 15 min of 3-D, my eyes started hurting, and the movie looked purple (I had to take my glasses off to see the colors. I wasn't really watching the movie, I just liked the 3D effects (though I'd take a DLR 3D movie anyday...I was pleasantly surprised that the 3D glasses were made of a hard carboard rather than a flimy type...and they had a elastic band to hold them on your head. I plan to take them with me so I can sneak in to another movie next week.

That's what you get for theater hopping. I'm kidding of course.

Well, it came in at #1 this weekend, well over Laura Croft.

Yeah, it probably beat Lara Croft too.

I don't think I've ever seen a 3D movie that didn't suck though. They always spend too much time on the effects and not enough time on story.

Lumberjack Rabbit being the exception.

it beat seabiscuit?

The movie did exceedingly well this weekend. I was shocked. It beat out a couple of highly publicized movies in Tomb Raider and Seabiscuit, although to be fair, Spy Kids had a higher theater count. It almost matched its cost this first weekend alone. See, you don't have to overspend to do well at the box office.

POTC was #2. It was an excellent weekend for the film divisions of Disney.

wow! seriously? that SUCKS for seabiscuit though... yeah yeah I'm proud of Disney, but they put a lot of heart into that movie!

Seabiscuit was showing in only around 2000 theaters. It made a higher per screen average than any movie this weekend.

No need to feel sad.

Here is a link to look at the numbers, which show Spy Kids #1, POTC #2, and they also show the theater counts, which as I said in my earlier post show that Spy Kids had a higher theater count than either Tomb Raider or Seabiscuit.

That reminds me. If Spy Kids 3D did this well for opening weekend, how well did the "Smell-o-Rama" Rugrats do? Probibly not that well... :rolleyes:
