Well, *I* heard that Batman's a robot!

cagexxx was in town and I was seriously tempted to try and go out to the IMAX for The Dark Knight. Looks like we were right in not even bothering to try. Holy shit, $75M!? I mean, it's a 50% drop-off from last week, but last week was almost $160M!!! When feiran, darkling1 and I went out for our former roommate's birthday, someone at the party told me that IMAX was sold out until August. I'm assuming that's on the weekend, since I saw that the IMAX would cheerfully sell us seats to a 2 am showing on Friday morning. Still, given that the ONLY IMAX theater in New York City is at 68th street, that might not be hyperbole.

Um, the 8:45 pm show (the only one anyone can make if they get off work at 5) is sold out until Thursday this week and that's as far ahead as they'll let me look. Jeepers. In fact, the 5 pm show is sold out on Wednesday, too. (I dunno how prevalent it is, but certain sectors of my job have early days off on Wednesday--they're usually out by 3 pm--so are they ALL going to the movies or what?)

On a non-Dark Knight related note, I take pleasure in seeing that Mamma Mia! hasn't dropped off too badly. It's a more reliable measure of how well a film will do when it can continue to take in money after the first week. I expect that when Step Brothers is forgotten next week and people are still trying to get into see The Dark Knight, they'll probably keep being siphoned off to see Mamma Mia!. And now, it's time to listen to some ABBA.
