UGHHHHH.

I really wished I didn't see the $13.4 million take. Fucking hell. I really hope that BD is packed as fuck at least cuz well...yeah...that's the end of Dredd.

Wow, that sucks. I thought the domestic total was higher than that, somewhere in the 30s. I saw Dredd and thought it was a blast. What the hell was wrong with North American audiences? It was right up the male demographics' alley, but it looked like everyone ignored it. Could we really blame this on the stigma from Stalone's version? Do mainstream audiences today even know there was a Stalone version? And for what it's worth, I watched the Stalone version of couple weeks ago and, honestly, I didn't think it was that bad. I thought it was a pretty entertaining action movie. Yeah, Rob Schneider was annoying, but he's annoying regardless of what he's in. I'm wondering if Dredd might end up being one of those movies that does better on video (I'm hoping it does).

I don't think people not seeing this is indicative of anything about American audiences. There's plenty of reasons why this bombed which have been discussed already here. Little known character, Stallone's version, poor advertising, etc.

I will be buying the 3D Blu-ray at whatever price they decide to release it at. I suggest you all do the same.

Did... did 'mallet just threaten us?

I'll do the same

I am the law!

Blu-Ray? How quaint. I'll buy the official download and upload it to my cloud.

I'll be buying the 3-D, 2-D, and UK import/steelbook.

I am turning down screeners for this one.

Dredd opened here (Australia) to $800K in 198 theaters. Adjusted for theaters, that's like a $12.6MM opening in the US. However, ticket prices here can be $15–$25, so it's really more like $8MM equivalent in the US.

So... better, but only marginally.

I lived in Guangdong last year. I'm in Sydney this year.

And next year?

I have to admit, I loved Dredd. Great, high octane action, and finally I can rid myself of the image of Sylvester Stallone in the role (the movie wasn't bad, but very typical of 1990s action). I know some complained about Urban's line delivery (hell even his chin) but I thought he did great with limited development (adhering to the comic book from what I understand) and Headey was effective as an interesting but prototypical villain. But above all else, the visual effects especially during the "slo-mo" sequences was amazing.

As 'Mallet said, this is an easy Day 1 purchase.

Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu.... "dong"...

Clearly I'm missing something.

The following post should prove most illuminating:

Cool, paying $14.99 to own nothing. (Just download rights that can be pulled whenever the company decides it no longer need to keep it on-line.)

Before or after Obama goes door to door and confiscates all guns in the USA, and Michelle replaces them with packs of low-fat string cheese?

Clouds are the future. Just a matter of time till you can fit an yottabyte in the palm of your hand.

No actually companies holding your on-line content hostage when they want to get paid again is the future.

I'm sure Netflix has appreciated Amazon's Cloud system with two major outages this year. (Why they didn't build their own infrastructure make no sense... Then again, they probably don't have enough liquid assets...)

So that digital copy is in 3D with all the special features and 11 channel audio for $14.99? Cool.

Saw this today and I loved it.

Loved Lena Headey in this film. Definitely will be picking it up on BD when it releases next month!

Fuck I hope so.

My god I love string cheese.

Decent but not anywhere as good as I was hoping. The incessant killings in the corridors made me think I was watching a friend play Quake after a while. But it passed the time, I guess. Don't get all the love for it on this forum.

No doubt you've already found out, but for the next person landing here after a Google search - the track is a French disco piece called "Poison Lips" by a producer going by the name of Vitalic. It's on Xbox Music so presumably also on iTunes etc - as a single with an extended mix. It's not trance but it could have seemed it in the film as they were messing with the slow down/speed up effects, and the lyrics are a little trance-y.

I can't post the YT link but the URL end is watch?v=I2dfGC1oziE
