AMC Forum 30 (Detroit area) adds the Matrix Reloaded 10:30 show

[RyanM]

I just got an invite from one of my buddies go to the 10:30 PM showing of the Matrix Reloaded. "That's funny," I thought, "Because when I bought tickets to the 10:15 show, there wasn't a 10:30 listed."

Well, it seems after the 10:00 and 10:15 shows SOLD OUT, they added another.

Which means they've sold, bare minimum 1200 tickets. At $8.50 a pop, that's over $10G's.

For a while, I was convinced that since this was an R movie, it had no hope of shattering the current record holder for 4 day openings.

I think I'm gonna be proven wrong. I have a feeling that this movie is going to beat the hell out of whatever the 4-day release record holder is, and may even come close to dethroning Spiderman.

yipee... this is why living at college in a small town isnt always a good thing.... the one saving grace is that the theatre wont be packed when i do go see the movie thursday!

Well, at that point it all depends on how many screens it's on.


The current record holder is Spider-man with $114 million.

 

[RyanM]

I :heart: google.

Biggest Opening Weekends

From there:

#5 - 5/17/2002 - Star Wars: Attack of the Clones - $80,027,814 on a 4 day weekend.

I KNOW Reloaded will top that.
If it breaks $100 Million, it'll be in 2nd place, knocking out Harry potter. And if it breaks $114M, it'll be in first.

I've got my 10pm Wednesday tickets. Can't wait.

Originally had 10:00 PM tix myself, but then another buddy wanted in, and I had to hawk them and buy 10:15 PM tix.

And my Agent Smith sunglasses arrived in the mail yesterday. Oh, yeah.

I just bought mine online.

Edwards out in SO CA

 

[RyanM]

Weird. Is that some sort of state law, or a theater policy?

 

[imported_Mike]

dunno, whatever it is, its crapy. The 3 tickets are for people who are all over 17, so kind of gay.

 

[RyanM]

I'd say so. If I were you, I'd have bitched up a storm. It's sad but true, the people who act like assholes are the ones that get to skirt the rules. ;-)

 

[RyanM]

Holy hell.

For sh!ts and giggles, I checked their site again.

5 showings are sold out. 10:00, 10:15, 10:30, and two 10:45 shows, totally filled.
