Looks like avatar did really well for MLK Day weekend and broke records for that period. It will do well on Friday and Saturday but Sunday might slow down due to football. Most of the new movies that are coming out this weekend and next look like crap compared with Avatar. This is the same pattern that Titanic had during its lifespan from December 1997-spring of 1998, when Lost in Space dethroned Titanic from the #1 spot (a crappy remake of a great tv show). Probably the next major movie to dethrone Avatar will be the remake of “The Wolfman”, which looks good even though the R rating might scare kids away. Percy Jackson might steal some families away from “Avatar” since it has a huge cast and the next 3D movie to arrive will be Alice in Wonderland, which looks trippy.
yup. Better curved screens and awesome sound. Not to mention more comfortable seats and plenty of parking around the theater and beyond. Even the smaller screens in this theater are bigger than the small ones in the clearviews.
3-D films were MIA from the late ‘90s until the mid-00’s, when digital 3D was first shown in theaters with Disney’s Chicken Little. Avatar is the peak of digital 3D, and most of its worldwide gross is from 3D showings (both digital and IMAX). Sometime soon, a 3D bluray version of Avatar will come out for those who have 3D-capable TVs. Watching it in HD 1080p 2D won’t make justice.
It was a good movie. I first rented it from the local library. Not as good as Ten Commandments, but worth watching if you like circus clowns and behind the scenes of what goes on behind the red tent.
hahahaha…..i read that book of eli got bad reviews, as was the spy next door and lonely bones. Looks like avatar will still be a huge crowd attraction at the theater this weekend.
showtimes are finally now up. Avatar is still playing in the two digital 3D theaters as well as in IMAX 3D. What’s the status of when additional screens get 4k?
here’s what moviefone had to say…
“We’re sorry, this theater has not delivered showtimes for Friday, January 15, 2010. We are currently in the process of contacting theater management. Please check back for updated information”.
why haven’t been advance showtimes been posted up for this weekend…usually it happens at this time…i plan on seeing book of eli, which was shot on a red one camera, at this theater. by then the crowding of the parking lot will die down.
while at the theater waiting for both movies to begin, as well as for 2012 in mansfield, i saw this great in-theater ad for the national guard…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbfPj00pTNY&feature=related

at least AMC has A.M. Cinema.
I went to fatburger with my relatives today and tried to order a meal with my amc movie ticket to save money….the bad news is that they don’t do that anymore. Nathan’s also used to do that before they closed down. BTW, shows are still selling well for avatar 3D, even in IMAX. The next two movies to come out in IMAX are weeks apart, first with Alice in Wonderland in both 3D and IMAX and then How to Train Your Dragon. If Alice does well, then it will still be played in RealD on several screens while Dragon plays in IMAX and also in RealD. By that time, Avatar will still have the most money that any 3-D and IMAX 3-D movie has made.
that’s the get smart movie. It was made 28 years before Steve Carrell starred in a Get Smart remake. 1980 was also the year when Heaven’s Gate bankrupted UA shortly before MGM took over the studio.
This just in…

maybe this could mean that AMC is coming back to secaucus!!!
Most of the box office for “Avatar” worldwide is from combined 3-D and IMAX 3-D showings.

all screens now have digital projection.
showtimes are now back up online.
showtimes are not available to purchase online. Maybe it’s busy?
the site is working again.
movietickets is experiencing techinical difficulties.
yup. Better curved screens and awesome sound. Not to mention more comfortable seats and plenty of parking around the theater and beyond. Even the smaller screens in this theater are bigger than the small ones in the clearviews.
another digital projector was installed in this theater.
avatar isn’t being shown in 2d this weekend. the closest theater is in parsippany.
BTW, Iron Man 2 will be in IMAX when it opens on May 7th. Too bad it won’t be 3D, just a DMR'ed version of a scope movie.
