News Round Up 2018

Saw Aquaman last night. Outstanding movie! Very well done.

Bumble Bee took home as much as Mary Poppins. Local VIP theatre hardly sold any seats for Mary Poppins last night. Aquaman filled multiple theatres.

My Poppins theater today was almost sold out and I know the showing after mine was pretty much the same. I think it will do better going forward.

I agree. It’s off to a better start then greatest showman and that legged out.

I just checked the app for the local VIP theatre. There are 4 seats sold for the 6:20pm show.

Honestly this isn't the kind of movie I would ever pay to see in a theatre. I'll watch this a year or two from now when it's on TV.

Maybe it's a Canadian thing? There could be more seats sold at the cheaper theatre, but certainly no one paying top dollar to watch at our VIP complex.

I saw it at our local major chain theater which isn’t an AMC. We only have one AMC in our area. It seemed it was doing well at least in my area. I’m more interested in numbers over the holidays.

I just checked the next showing at our Austin Alamo Drafthouse sited and except for a single seat here and there and most of the front row the theaters are just about full.

I just purchased tickets for Sat, Dec 29th. The show we're going to is already about 20% sold (6 days in advance) and some of the others showings have more seats sold than that. I can really see this moving being a movie that parents are waiting to take their children to after Christmas to fill in their holiday time together. We can't wait!!

We just got back and was just in a regular theater (a Regal) and i’d say it was about half full

Lots of applause when it ended though

I want to wish everyone who celebrates a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays ahead of the big day tomorrow.

With that we are winding down on this years News Round Up thread. I want to thank everyone for contributing and following along. As always I end the year asking for any suggestions, comments, or concerns about this thread and where it should go forward. I am fine if no changes are needed too.

Thanks everyone!

Merry Christmas to you and everyone else! This is my favorite thread to follow on the boards and you do a great job maintaining the News and rumor threads. So a big thank you! Since you asked for suggestions, my only suggestion is to pin the Rumor Round Up thread on top. I feel sometimes that thread gets lost.

I would like to thank rteetz for all the time and effort he has put into the forums and especially this tread. Since we don't have the daily fix anymore, this tread is my go to place
to keep up with what is happening at WDW. Again a tip of the hat to rteez and the DIS staff for all great work. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

 

[CaliKris]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I don't ever comment, but I read this thread every day. I count on it for my latest Disney news and it has helped me grab reservations for events as soon as they are announced.

I so appreciate all your work, @rteez. I am looking forward to all the upcoming announcements next year with SWGE!

Merry Christmas to you and once again thank you for everything you do here on the boards. Enjoy the holiday!

 

[OKW Lover]

Merry Christmas @rteetz and to everybody else following this thread!

My only suggestion would be to include a link to the new 2019 thread and perhaps close comments on this one after a suitable time has elapsed.

 

[Farro]

Merry Christmas everyone!

@rteetz - Thanks for running the best forum on the DIS!

 

[PaintsWithAllTheColors]

Merry Christmas!! I wish you all a blessed celebration and am grateful for everyone that’s a part of these boards and this thread - everyone together makes it what it is today!

A special thanks, of course, to @rteetz for all the hard work and dedication that you put into this! It is much appreciated!

I’m surprised Aquaman did so well. I know many said they weren’t that interested in it.

Saw Poppins today and my theater was almost sold out. I really enjoyed it.

We saw it Saturday and really enjoyed it. I was the only one that clapped during the movie. The theater was full of duds I guess. It didn't look like the normal crowd for that Alamo Drafthouse, which is in more of a hip downtown area. There usually aren't very many kids there, but there were a ton of kids and multi-generation families. We are going to see a movie on Christmas. We gave our son the choice of Aquaman, Bumblebee, or Into the Spiderverse. He chose Spiderverse.

I just checked the next showing at our Austin Alamo Drafthouse sited and except for a single seat here and there and most of the front row the theaters are just about full.

Hello to a fellow Austinite. We saw it Saturday night at Alamo on S Lamar. The theater was full.

Weird. I would think traditional US hackers would like Musk. He's kind of a mad scientist type. Maybe it's Russians, Chinese, or North Koreans.

Happy Holidays to you too! Take a much needed break from school and the boards. Thank you for all of your hard work through the year. This is one of the few threads that I read on a daily basis.
