Yeah, our Matinee prices are stupid and like only a dollar difference. Some theaters have cheap showings for $6 or $7 before noon though on weekends, so we take advantage of that as much as we can.

Like when I was 14 & 15 and telling them I was 11 so I could get in for kids' prices. I was short, though, and looked it. Except for the last couple times I tried it. By then I was pushing it.
I remember the first time I paid adult price at the age of 14--to see THE ST. VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE and PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES--the cashier wanted to charge me children's price and I had to insist I was 14 and she looked at me in disbelief. The adult price was 75 cents and the kids' price was 50 cents. The next week I went with my little sister to see YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE at the same theater and they'd upped the price to 99 cents for adults and 75 cents for kids, so I was back to being 11.

Hmm, I thought Terminator Genisys would have higher estimates, so looks like a fair chance of Jurassic World being #1 for another weekend.
I'm a big X-Men fan but I've never heard of Savage Land. I've always thought that they should take X-Men out to space, kinda like Avengers. Whedon's Astonishing X-Men comics was good.

JW is $43 million ahead of Avengers after their 17th day in theaters. $650 mil is possible but I don't think there's enough momentum to push it to $700 mil US.

The Savage Land? Jesus... if you're a big X fan... you should know wtf that is. The cartoon for sure showed that off. The Konami Arcade game too.
One of my favorite Savage Land bits was when Spidey (in his Sensational series) went there. Was like 3 issues of fun there.

Sauron was always one of the better X-Men villains.

Of course in the NuDC she's just a fuckbot, but that's neither here nor there.

From Deadline, Magic Mike XXL is slightly ahead of Terminator Genisys, and then the usual suspects fill out the top six, which would be Inside Out, Jurassic World, Ted, and Max.
