you are indeed correct, i had it wrong... none the less these kids were nowhere near 12 and whilst the movie wasn't massively scary, i wouldnt have said it was suitable for the age they were acting like. the parent just let them dick about and have their phones out and stuff so i guess regardless of age the parent should have sorted them out.I think anyone of any age can see a 12a rated film if with an adult? If the kids were 12 they could have seen it without the adult on their own.
At least the anti-Disney crowd here can now see that all studios are making flops these days. It’s not about revolting against a woke agenda, haha. It has more to do with people just not flocking to theaters anymore.
You fail to understand that being anti-poor storytelling isn’t an “anti-Disney” thing (which, BTW, Disney is the biggest repeat offender of in the past ten years), or even an “anti-woke” thing. Frozen Empire wasn’t great as Afterlife or even the OGs, but is still better than the 2016 film. And fans will still choose FE over the 2016. And since a large chunk of Hollywood hasn’t been practicing good storytelling in a lot of their films and TV shows for a while, this is just showing that Hollywood is burning due to lighting their own fire and them stoking their own flames when audiences warned them.At least the anti-Disney crowd here can now see that all studios are making flops these days.

We live in quite a rural area so to make a trip to the IMAX, which is the only decent cinema near us in Plymouth takes an hours drive.We just watched it at home last night. Three people and microwave popcorn. We all enjoyed the movie, but I enjoyed not spending $60 to go see it once. Now we can rewatch it and still make microwave popcorn. Movie theatres are dead to me, not movies.
Hmm. That cover doesn't look quite right. A work like that would be less whimsical and more academic. The actual title should be more like: Exhaustive Guide to the Spiritual Realm by J. H. Tobin or something similar. Considering that such a work would have been completed during the height of spiritualism movement, it should look more serious. "Tobin's Spirit Guide" is too informal and indicates more of a bar manual than a supernatural study.
The same is true of Spate's Catalogue.
I'm not sure why the producers would let a detail like this slide especially with someone like Aykroyd involved in the project.
Yeah, it's true that a borderline movie is probably still profitable for the corp if it indirectly supports the franchise.Someone made a good point elsewhere (maybe on GBFans, I can't remember) that a franchise like this isn't just about making money in the box office, but it's to keep the IP active for merchandising ("where the real money from the movie is made"). Ghost Corps is probably making plenty of money outside of the box office... the HasLab "Two In The Box" campaign is a multi-million dollar project in itself. Not that I don't agree with everything being said here... FE was not the best movie, but the big wigs might not be considering it a flop if it's keeping the IP active.

Yeah, I try to go to movies on Tuesdays because that's the discount day, and it tends to be quite busy because of that, especially on new releases. Not only are tickets about half price, there's discounts on concessions too. Obviously, Tuesdays aren't as convenient for everyone, which is why they tend to be the discount days (brings in more people on a day that otherwise wouldn't be busy). But you'd think lowering prices the rest of the time would boost sales enough to not only offset the discounts, but get more profits. I guess the studios demand ticket prices be high, so maybe the theaters don't have as much flexibility.The fact that movies like this and 'The Fall Guy' are failing to make money . . . it speaks volumes. These flicks aren't instant classics but they should be decent bread-n-butter earners. In 2010 they both would have made money.
The movie theater industry is dying fast. By 2030 it won't be recognizeable.
It still mystifies me that the theaters are willing to go out of business rather than lower their prices. They have whole rooms of empty seats because teenagers and families don't wanna pay so much for a show. This isn't complicated.
