The article:
We already knew that Transformers was getting pushed ahead of its release date to Monday, July 2nd. This gives Pixar's Ratatouille only 3 days and Live Free or Die Hard 5 days (Six if you include midnight showings). It seems to go beyond that for Transformers though. They're literally invading theaters planning to overrun the box office competition.
A source inside the industry has informed me that while Transformers opening on Monday gives it a sizeable advantage over its competition, it also has something else going for them.He goes on to tell me that Paramount & Dreamwork's film will also have 24 hour straight showings in the top 10 movie theaters in the country for 2 days straight.
Yes, that's correct. The top 10 theaters in the country will be showing Transformers around the clock for 2 days straight from Monday thru Wednesday. 48 straight hours of coverage on all their screens.
This is going to be an invasion, Maniacs.
those are 10 Countries:
ReplyDeleteAustralia, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand.
top ten theatres in AMERICA you ass! not top ten countries in the world.
ReplyDeletewhy would hte biggest movie event of the summer be released on a 48-hr spin in indonesia, norway and thailand?!!! do you not think they're aiming at the most popular theatres in the U.S? i.e. LA, NY, TX, etc... or wherever the most popular are!
what does baffle me is why does australia get it in june whereas the US gets it in july; and japan gets it august. i would have thought japan; being a major component of the initial concept; would get it at the same/similar time as the US; and why does the UK have to wait 'til 27/7?? (not 7/27!!!)
why does those 10 countries show early?
