Only 4 of those are considered wide releases. Sucks to be a theater that gets all 10. [puke]

Looks like I'll be busy tonight. Last week it was me and ... me. Three build ups, four break downs, and run all of the shows. And since we're on an abbreviated schedule, there was only one round to do it all.

The Queen is doing well with us. It brings out a lot of people who probably wouldn't go to the cinema normally.

Alex Rider was called Stormbreaker in the UK and did pretty well, we got two prints and was busy opening weekend.

"Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker" in the US was pretty Lame , it's like a Jr. James Bond film but worse. [thumbsdown]

Worse than Agent cody Banks?

Posted by Bill Gabel (Member # 1105) on 10-13-2006, 12:18 PM:

I'm afraid so. [thumbsdown]

It's all been done before and much better.

Bring back Matt Helm!! [beer]

The film itself looked terrible but when did that ever stop something making money. Apparently the books are popular. The US opening weekend will probably determine whether they film another book from the series or not.
