About sharing their data
Watch Gravity Online “Ang wants to work with 3D technology that will make an audience feel as if they’re inside the ring,” he explained. That sounds perfectly fine, and it would create quite an immersive experience for audience members. But Lee also wants something a bit more out of the box. Morgan says the director wants to use actual footage of the fights, incorporating the undetermined cast members into the action digitally. I’m all for making things as realistic as possible, but this seems almost blasphemous for some reason. Wouldn’t it almost be easier for all involved just to recreate the shots as closely as possible? For some reason, all I can picture is Tom Hanks’ Polar Express character trying to start a fight with someone. But if anybody can pull it off, there’s a good chance it’s the guy who won Oscars for directing both Brokeback Mountain and Life of Pi, two great films whose reductive pre-release punchline statuses couldn’t take away their glory.
Watch Prisoners Online Morgan said he won’t be finished with the screenplay until next year, so there’s no telling when we’d actually see this feature come together. But with boxing, particularly Floyd Mayweather fights, reemerging in the public consciousness, Lee doesn’t have to worry about the subject matter becoming irrelevant in the meantime. As if Muhammad Ali could ever be irrelevant. If nothing else, this project sounds a thousand times better than that Raging Bull sequel that was being mulled over last year (that film, which will be released soon, is called The Bronx Bull, and is no longer a sequel).
Watch Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 Online Now, if you want to see some real boxing, just wait for Christmas, when you can watch Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone duke it out in Peter Segal’s Grudge Match. I’m kidding! Just watch the full Thrilla in Manilla fight below. If the trailers and TV spots for Ender's Game aren't selling you on the IMAX experience for this movie, perhaps this new poster will. The image shows the silhouetted figure of Ender Wiggin standing in front of a row of monitors while giant freaking lasers blast off in front of him. I've been a bit gripey lately about how much attention the "alien invasion and war" side of the story has been getting in the Ender's Game promotional content, but it's hard to deny the appeal of the poster above (see it bigger here.) The poster teases the potential for some great visual effects in the film, which could prove to be even better on an IMAX screen.

Watch Rush Online Just the other day, I was commenting on the way a lot of the promos for the film are focusing on the alien war aspect of the story. Of course, if you're familiar with the book, you know that the story is set in the future when man is between wars against an alien race called the Formics. The International Fleet is recruiting kids to train for the coming war. Young Ender Wiggin, a gifted underdog of a character, is chosen to go to Battle School, and the book centers on his efforts to find his place among his peers, join in the training, which includes playing games in preparation for the war, and eventually climbing the ranks of the army. With so much of the book focused on Ender's training, it's noticeable that we don't seem to be seeing a lot of Battle School scenes in the promos, with the exception of a few glimpses of the zero gravity Battle Room. Looking at it optimistically though, space and war are probably bigger sells and a better approach to filling theater seats than the sight of Ender settling into the barracks.

And we know the Battle School side of this story will play its part, as evidenced by the barracks panorama above and some of the photos that have been released. So hopefully it's just a matter of patience here. In the meantime, those who want to gear up to show their love for Ender's Game might want to check out Hot Topic as the store is currently selling T-shirts. Right now, they have one that reminds us that "The Enemy's Gate is Down" -- a crucial lesson to learn if you're ever floating around in the Battle Room. And the others are the logos for Dragon Army and Salamander Army. Movie studios have traditional tracking numbers, which can give them ideas weeks ahead of time how their films will perform when they finally open. And while we occasionally get glimpses of those in the press, we mostly rely on something a lot more public and people-oriented: pre-sales at online ticket sellers like Fandango and MovieTickets.com.
Watch Baggage Claim Online Even better, 91% of Gravity's ticket sales are for 3D showings, suggesting that moviegoers are listening when people like us tell them that it's an absolute must-see in 3D. We're pretty much universally crazy about the movie around here, with both Sean and I writing raves about it, but it's the kind of thing that, if you don't see it on a gigantic screen and with the 3D that director Alfonso Cuaron carefully crafted, you're really not seeing it the right way. There's probably nothing better you can do with your weekend than going to see Gravity, so head to Fandango (or ticket retailer of your choice), buy some tickets, and see the future of movies at your local theater.
Fandango in particular is good about sharing their data, and when they promote strong sales, it usually indicates a hit its on its way. It happened for The Hunger Games and Les Miserables among many others, and now it's boding incredibly well for the weekend's biggest, most visually dazzling release, Gravity.We got an idea last week that Gravity was in good shape heading into its opening weekend, but now that the audience is speaking with its ticket-buying dollars, the future looks even brighter. According to Fandango Gravity is selling more tickets than Argo was days before its opening last year, and even more than Bullock's summer hit The Heat; Argo opened to $19 million and of course went on to win Best Picture, while The Heat had a huge $39 million opening and eventually made $224 million worldwide. That comedy hit proved that Bullock's huge The Blind Side ($309 million worldwide) wasn't a fluke, and allowed Warner Bros. to invest heavily in Gravity's marketing, confident that audiences would turn out to see Bullock (not to mention her equally famous co-star George Clooney).
