Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???

I wonder if the lower than normal reception for Hateful Eight compared to other Tarantino films, and the subsequent lower grosses, helped The Revenant exceed expectations. I imagine there is quite an overlap between the audiences for the two
Surely its going to have better legs too, with expected oscar noms going to Hardy and Leo

according to wikipedia there are two 70mm cinemas here. One of them lists 2d and the other as 3d
Do they have different cinemas for each? I am an imax nooby. What should I be looking for for the best experience?
Tickets arent sold out at imax for tonight's showing bu all the mid and back placement of about (40) spots are taken, those same spots are taken for tomorrow. Looks like the next screening is near sold out as well.

Same question really. And is 70mm better than Laser IMAX?

Also saw this on wikipedia but it doesnt really tell me the direct answer to our question
15/70 mm locations use 70 mm film projectors, with the film running through horizonally, each frame being 15 perforations wide. 3D presentations are shown using two projectors and either linear polarized or LCD shutter glasses. Laser locations use two 4K resolution digital projectors with laser light sources, with 3D content using Dolby 3D wavelength multiplex visualization. Both formats are capable of displaying aspect ratios as tall as 1.43:1.
That drop for Hateful Eight is pretty bad :/
It felt like the Blofeld reveal in Spectre.

You are correct. 6 is a great movie. Best Star Treks 6, 8, 09, Darkness, 2 in that order.
Guess audiences didn't really like Hateful 8.
I assume that's the last western Tarantonto gets greenlit.
Hateful 8 was fairly cheap. He should try something else though.
He should make a dirty Bountyhunter movie
So I'm gonna have to be the one to say "Jango Unchained," huh.
You think it'll be out of the top10 best debuts by next year? Seems like a rapidly growing market.
That is 3rd best for a Hollywood film--there are only 33 (I think) more Hollywood films this year. Kung Fu Panda will count as a Chinese film.
It pretty much is at this point

...Why does Kung Fu Panda count as a Chinese film
Sure, but between 32 million and 60 million is a large enough gap that could be easily filled by any blockbuster that might resonate with the audience. Furious 7 just shows that the ceiling is pretty high, and that's not the full potential of the market either. I think this sort of rankings in China are very temporary.

iirc co-financed I think
Partnership/ co-production with a Chinese studio, first of its kind for a major USA animated film. About 1/3 is made in China
Its dead, Jim.

Oooooh that's a new one. I figured it was something like that. Kung Fu Panda bout to get dem dollars
Yes, I agree the market is growing, but 2016 doesn't seem to have as many mega-hits as 2015. Captain America and Batman v Superman have potential, maybe X Men--I don't know if there are 7 mega Hollywood hits in 2016.
Transformers 5...?
I'm probably missing a few areas, but it just seems like $600M is a long way to go. Lets say it only does $150M more domestically and then low ball $200M or so in China. Can it cover $350M more in the remaining territories?
You mean $250, right?
If it's 3D they're showing the digital 2k or 4k projection. The 70mm prints were 2D only.
There really only one scene in TFA shot on 15perf70. It was awesome to see, but overall your not getting much from missing out besides saying you saw it on film.
Here's a list of all the true IMAX screens in the States: http://www.lfexaminer.com/theausa.htm
I think it will. Barely but it will. Does make you appreciate the box office dominance of Cameron films. I think Avatar 2 does 2B. WW the man is a Juggernaut.
If you include local films it will be. Pretty much the entire Top 10 opening list right now is 2015 films plus Transformers 4 in China.

Thanks I'm in china. Will post some pics of the experience. Not sure if this is true iMax or not but maybe. Which scene is it?
Yeah, bad math. It has to open in India yet right? But adding the $200M+ for China and then following the same domestic to international ratio as before I think it might just make it. I don't think it will make $2.4B.

Titanic ww is a rerelease tho. What does that make tfa?
What ratio are you using? Because in the past days the ratio changed significantly.

Shows the beast that Furious 7 was in China.
Cool, it just didn't seem that much more than Domestic but I guess with India an other territories coming in now it should be improving. If TFA gets $940M domestically, it still needs >%57 of its BO to be international to break $2.2B.
