Not commercially. It was a flop money-making wise. Regardless of that, U23D was an excellent show. I thought it was just great. Now, granted, I am a fan of U2. Nevertheless, the concert performance was very well done. And the 3D aspect of it was very well executed. The crew who produced the show pulled off lots of 3D camera shots I would have thought would be very problematic, such as gradual fades from one shot to another and the aspect of stage lights creating problems with the 3D imagery. The crew behind U23D (3eality productions, I think) did a great job. Kudos to them. Some of my favorite 3D shots in U23D were of Bono running out on that heart-shaped walkway to grab hands of fans. Certain cameras were rigged up with telephoto lenses where you would see many layers of outstretched hands and arms coming up in the foreground with Bono in focus on a different 3D plane. U23D was a very slick production. Those who didn't bother to attend simply missed out on a great show. Too bad, so sad. The no shows out there can just eat it.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-01-2009 11:25 PM                        Attn: People who don't know who Jonas Bros. are. For Pete's sake, guys. Go to amazon.com, search Jonas Bros, listen to some sound samples and know what you are criticizing. It will take you all of two minutes. You might be surprised that they're not bad. They are a decent pop/rock group. (But when listening, keep in mind the target audience.)  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-01-2009 11:50 PM                        Are they a real band or were they manufactured/marketed by Disney or the like? They seemed to have come out of nowhere which usually means they were created by one of the media conglomerates. Talent and looks isn't good enough to get you noticed by teenie-boppers. You need to be backed by Nickelodean or whatnot.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-02-2009 12:41 AM                        They are a real band, they play their own instruments and write their own songs. They got popular by opening for Miley Cyrus, but their material really is pretty good for a pop band. Basically they are the "Hanson" of the 2000's. In other words, their 15 minutes is probably just about up. Their 3rd album was released last year. Jeez I sound like a fan. I'm not....but we sell a lot of their CDs at the store.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-02-2009 01:32 PM                     Mike...I took your advice and went to Amazon and gave them a listen...after about 14 different snippits...I can't find anything good about em. There just wasn't anythink "catchy" that I heard and forget about just plain good music. I hope they have enjoyed their 15 minutes of fame and have invested wisely (tough to do in these times but they are young enough that if they invested in real estate, they would make a very high profit by the time they retire).

It's funny when 13 year old girls buy them.  |  IP: Logged Julio Roberto Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 938 From: Madrid, Madrid, Spain Registered: Oct 2008 posted 03-04-2009 07:58 PM                    Do we have the first official 3D bomb? Worldwide to date: $13,338,971 Opening Weekend: $12,510,374 (#2 rank, 1,271 theaters, $9,843 average) Widest Release: 1,271 theaters In Release: 5 days / 0.7 weeks Seems to be holding in the top possitions, but more competition is coming this weekend. Mind you this is in spite of high ticket prices and 3D surcharges, so actual attendance should be pretty poor. In defense, let's say this is not you typical "film-film". But also keep in mind that those willing to watch it probably dragged with them half the family and forced them to watch it, who otherwise would've never considered, 3D or not 3D.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.
