Author Topic: Atlantis vs Shrek Scott Madsen Film Handler Posts: 58 Registered: Oct 1999 posted 06-11-2001 08:57 PM                     At this point, Atlantis will have to be one of the biggest Disney titles of all time to make this interesting. I just don't see it. Can't believe Shrek will out-do Mummy Returns and Pearl Harbor. Disney lost last holiday with 102 Dalmations vs. Grinch and may lose this summer again.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-11-2001 11:19 PM                     Atlantis opened in NY and LA this weekend. It did $330,000. Two locations.....  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 06-12-2001 05:15 PM                     The bulk of that $330K was from the El Capitan in L.A. Disney packaged Atlantis with a museum-type show and sold it at higher prices. The Ziegfeld in NY only did $84K+ -- much less than Moulin Rouge on its exclusive over its 1st weekend (5/18). And the Ziegfeld is running Atlantis in DLP. My original call still stands: Shrek over Atlantis. Tomb Raider should rule this weekend, editing, score, NBA Finals and all.  |  IP: Logged Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX.

Only 1 of 3 prints will run all day, the other two get doubled up and play all but the late show. Not much of a chance to make money.

Evolution opened last week and Shrek will open on friday. I think Shrek will probably pull it it. ------------------ ------------------ Michael Brown Bradford Student Cinema www.Bradfordstudentcinema.co.uk  |  IP: Logged Heyward Garner Expert Film Handler Posts: 101 From: Winston-Salem, NC, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 06-30-2001 01:03 AM                     I think it's a shame. I think they are both great films, but I personally liked Atlantis better than Shrek. But I still have to give props to Shrek for being the #1 this year =)  |  IP: Logged
