every showing starting Monday, July 20th through August 12th is completely open.

i don't know how well this is going to do. the sold out shows are the ones that were listed last summer... i think.

Apparently we have one in Hoover. Looks like I’ll be headed that way at some point.

I think the DEI (real or imagined) is just taking a lot of focus off of the actual technical issues with the film.



You already saw the film? Nice.

Did you bother clicking on any of them or just saw where they didn't say sold out?


as i said "unless you want to sit in the front row"


also, if every ticket other than the handicapped and accompanying seat are gone, it still doesn't show as sold out.



There are a few tickets here and there at inconvenient times but nothing I would drive from Kentucky for in the next few weeks. It certainly isnt "completely open"

The marketing being so poor for this film with such a big marketing budget is pretty scary.

They can't help themselves but create cringe viral memes.

Why are you defending this movie so vociferously? It's like the people in the Disney threads. Really bizarre.

With this opening today, should I update this for spoilers? Or would you prefer to keep this a non-spoiler thread?

Its not defending the movie, its laughing at the idiots. This movie may turn out to be complete arse and if so i will say so. But the constant negativity from a section of this board, and not just this movie, has grown incredibly tiresome. Some of us just want to talk about movies.

I just looked at one of the early showings that last week of July and all of the openings are in the very front or on the sides.

I’m not driving two hours for a shite seat.

The movie isn't out yet. All there is to discuss at this point is the trailers and leaks, which have mostly looked like shite.

If that offends your feminine sensibilities, perhaps you'd be more comfortable on Reddit, where they block people from subreddits that they disagree with.

By simply asking if someone has already seen the movie?

I don't know if it's going to be great like the reviews are saying, I am going to wait and judge for myself.

One thing I do think is safe to say is it's going to kill at the box office. maybe I'm dead wrong and I will 100% eat crow on that if it tanks but I don't think it will.

Bizarre is you not knowing anything about the source and thinking Helen of Troy is a main character in The Odyssey. Saying swapping Helen to a black girl is the same as swapping a main character in roots to Robert Pattinson The casting was incredibly dumb, but at least google to find out Helens role in the book. She's a main character in The Iliad and Helen of Troy, she's a minor character in The Odyssey.

I've been holding out and very skeptical, but Jahns' review seals it for me. I fully trust his opinion.

I would say two threads, but we are already getting spoiler clips here, so I guess it doesn’t really matter.

Yeah, that's kind of why I'm asking. This movie will be big on this board, regardless of the usual suspects claiming they won't see it.
