Lol. I know what cop out means, I just don't know why you feel that scene is one without watching it first. I'm assuming Whedon had an interesting angle to explore.

Well, you already know I don't assume much from Whedon.

I guess we'll find out once the BR hits, but I can pretty much imagine how that scene will play out fairly well:

They meet, she's elated to see him, he's elated to see her, cue witty joke about how he's still young and she's old, they finally get that dance, end scene.

*yawn*

[Busty]

They will go after it starting tomorrow and the stock price gets slammed a bit

That's a good point actually.

I have a feeling that this will only be the start of fallout from this film bombing.

Hey, you might be right, who knows. He said he liked the scene in interviews, that it was cut for balance and time, so we'll see.

so you're gonna have to buy the most expensive version to get a non-shitty cover:

But the middle cover is the better one.

The 3D&2D versions will likely be 24.99 on release day in September.

I get why they did it for the poster but now everyone and their dog has seen it, I want a Blu-Ray cover where Iron Man has his damn helmet on.

[WonkersTHEWatilla]

They all suck, but the dvd-only version is the least offensive, and it has the entire team front and center.

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

The true thread. It wasn't THAT long ago these were lucky to reach over 2 pages. What happened? The avengers made people interested or something?

GAF is finally realizing the box office is way more interesting than NPD. Full data every fucking day!

[Messypandas]

Ah the old segment collage. Cos it worked so well for Matrix 3

[Ninja Scooter]

if you are paying RJD $50 million to be in your movie you might as well put his face on the cover. They'll put the Iron Man helmet on for Avengers 2 when RJD drops out for a contract dispute and they replace him with Ryan Reynolds.

At this point I knew WB finally quit on the franchise.

They could've at least had his helmet on with the masked flipped up to show Downey's face.

[woodypop]

This morning I saw Avengers for the second time. Caught the Imax 3D 10am showing, and the theater was about 70% full. When the movie let out, there was a line outside queued up for the next showing. I'm pleasantly surprised it's doing this well in its 3rd weekend.

First part of that, fair enough. The Iron Man helmet is still ridiculously cool though and it's a shame to not see it like that.

Second part, ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

They could've at least had his helmet on with the masked flipped up to show Downey's face.

Oh yeah, this would be a fine compromise. Having it off completely is weird.

[Tobor]

I couldn't care less about the cover.

However, do I really have to buy the 3D version to get a digital copy? That massively sucks.

[Good Job Bob]

Garbage.

well they won some points back for releasing this plethora-disc set:

Fixed.

I'm sort of surprised that we haven't heard any talk of a continuation or (shudder) reboot of The Matrix from the studio. Even if it would likely not be directed by the Wachowski siblings.

Of course the fact that Joel Silver has fallen out of favour with WB brass and Wachowskis have moved onto another sci-fi project at WB probably speaks volumes.

[Mega Man's Electric Sheep]

Hawkeye and Black Widow shoved together in one window on the DVD cover, and entirely missing on the Blu-Ray/DVD cover LOL

[xaosslug]

BO threads usually blow up during Summer Blockbuster time, esp when there's a genuine 'blockbuster' in play (see: Avengers)

[Mpl90]

Yeah, Box Office discussion is so much better than NPD right now. I mean, here we have...NUMBERS!!! LOTS OF THEM!!!AHAHAHAAH!!!

However, Avengers is MASSIVE. It has hitten the right spots in people immagination, which is something normally effective...but in this times of crisis, it becomes super effective.

[shira]

Pfft, being handed the information is no fun.

Trust me the predicting is terrible, and terribly hard

Why does everyone call him that?

This is all kinds of awkward.

That Joker sure is one early bloomer, fathering children in his toddler years.

lol funny title

Came in here to say that. Too bad about Taylor's career, though. I heard McDonalds is hiring.

There aren't enough :lol's in the world.

Edit: Booooooo

[tuffy]

I'm skeptical of MiB3. There was a significant drop between the first and second after only a 5 year gap. Are audiences clamoring for more in the series after a 10 year gap? It may still open well because of Memorial Day weekend, but I think it may underperform.

A reboot is more likely than a sequel. I have little doubt it will happen sooner or later.

edit: a reboot wouldn't be all that bad. It could start with the Second Renaissance.

It's been ten years?! I feel so old.

You know... this entire time. I thought it was Matrix Revelations

Well, they could reboot but the fact is canon-wise going by the MMO the Matrix's cycle restarts or whatever because Neo isn't truly dead. Lord knows if they did a sequel they'd go that route instead of showing the Second Renaissance in a non-anime way.

Man fuck the MMO, I don't have anything else to say about that. A reboot is a reboot.

[Stinkles]

I hope this marks an end of the "idea so poor it might just work board game licensing bonanza".

They could have called it "Space Navy" and had similar success. The only PR the license brought it was negative derision and bafflement.

[Proelite]

I just saw Battleship.

I liked it.

:shrug

[Anth0ny]

Still the worst cover I've ever seen. I remember picking it up all those years ago and thinking "they definitely made this with MS Paint".

I got this awesome poster for the midnight Imax release of Avengers. I wish they could have used it for a limited edition Bluray set, those boxarts are meh.

[hamchan]

Taylor Kitsch's agent should be given praise for managing to land him all these blockbuster lead roles when all he was known for is being Tim Riggins imo.

[TheKaeptain]

Who the hell is Tim Riggins?

[ascii42]

You know... this entire time. I thought it was Matrix Revelations

That would have worked as a title, better yet would be "Matrix Convolutions"

[Femmeworth]

Who the hell is Tim Riggins?

Taylor Kitsch's character on Friday Night Lights.

[Bladenic]

Wait.. Please tell me RJD didn't actually get payed 50 mil for The Avengers. Please tell me it's an exaggeration.

[xaosslug]

after Iron Man RDJ renegotiated his contract for a Tom Cruise-type movie gross % deal.
