MFSoaMFP Opening
 

The day has come that many of you have been waiting months and months for. Snakes on a Plane opens today. This is a good reason to go get drunk after work and see what will either be an awesomely awful movie or an awfully awesome one. http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/3716/soapax7.png
Those of you that live in Austin may wonder why I have tickets to a theater that's not the Draft House. Well, my roommate is an idiot, that's why.

Here's some noteworthy links in celebration of Snakes on a Plane. I'm sure most of them have been posted already, but hey, they're fun.

What do you think this movie will open at? Keep in mind recent movies such as You, Me and Dupree and Little Man have opened at over $20 Million and the all time biggest opener was Pirates: Dead Man's chest at like $130+ Million

holy crap this starts tonight??? NOOO! I'm gonna misssssssss it.

Re: MFSoaMFP Opening
 

I think it will have a huge opening, followed by a dismal second week.

Re: MFSoaMFP Opening
 

Are you going to a sneak-preview or something? IMDB and other sites list the 18th as the opening date.

Re: MFSoaMFP Opening
 

I havn't seen any openings for this movie beofre 10pm. I think that openings used to happen at like 12:05 AM (technically Friday). Maybe this has changed so that the movie screening has to end by the day it opens. Or maybe they just wanted to add time slots that would generate revenue while the buzz is still here.

Re: MFSoaMFP Opening
 

Boxofficeguru.com -- a guy who is generally very accurate -- predicts a $28M opening.

As stated elsewhere, I have a prop bet with a colleague (loser buys lunch for 4 Fridays in a row) that SoaP will make more than 60 million in its entire domestic theatrical run. If it opens north of 25 mil, I should win the bet easily.

editorial on SoaP

An interesting read on how this guy thinks that this whole "the internet nerds create their own movie" could be potentially harmful in the future. I think its dumb though because for the most part because there are a ton of bad movies coming out of Hollywood that people don't want to see. Give the people what they want if there is a high enough demand, I say. Also the guy is very condescending towards internet nerds such as myself.

I'm so stoked.

Yeah, I swear when Samuel L. Jackson called my friends and family he said the 18th.
