Tottering towards destruction

Post by Kuja »

Nemesis has just been moved out of the big theaters and into the crappy ones around my area. Another week or two and it will be gone.

"Nemesis" is actually doing a pretty good job of retaining its theaters, even though its BO results are way down. I attribute this to the theaters' unwillingness to pull a one week old movie in favor of LotR, and with the lack of immediate competition after the first few weeks was over.

Nemesis has done quite well locally. I saw it not even a week ago for the second time and there was more then three dozen people in the theater. Its one of those fun movies that even non ST fans can appreciate (little need for back story, no technobabble, etc...)

Well, little technobabble. There was the Thaleron Radiation bit.

Hmmmmm, perhaps they DID do something right with the release date.

I hesitate to call it such. They introduce it, but call it VERY BAD, VERY DEADLY. Technobable would be giving a nonsensicle explination ending with, it does bad things. All they said was that this stuff was nasty shit.

It's the same way here. According to my brother who works at the theater is been a slow but steady film. He's said that after the first weekend though that it got murdered and that it's likely to just run along time in the small theater then hit the second run theater.

I still haven't seen it. Apparently it sucks, but, as always, I will judge for mee-self. :)
