And back to Box Office News, per Exhibitor Relations...

"Continuing a growing trend, "Prometheus" launched internationally before domestic, and landed with $35 million in 15 markets on 4,695 screens. Top markets include: Russia - $11.1M, UK - $9.9M – FRANCE - $7M. Ridley Scott's sci-fi beast will attack another 35 territories next weekend for a total of over 8,000 screens worldwide—5,500+ of those expected to be in 3D"

I went to view the film on opening night, here in the UK.  The cinema was packed!

what did you think of it eddie?. youre usually a level headed guy, would like to know what you thought.

thanks

I've watched it twice now and I definitely like it.  The first viewing was a bit too much to take in all at once but watching it again on IMAX, confirmed for me that I really do like it.  Visually the film is stunning and Fassbender's performance is exceptional.  There are so many scenes peppered throughout the film that I adore.

Of course, it's not a classic film (unlike 'Alien') and there are definite issues with the script (plot holes, some dodgy dialogue and an uneven tone).  Also, the editing is really quite poor; just as I was starting to become gripped by certain events, the scene would cut to a different set of characters!

I hope for an alternate cut to be released at some point but as it stands, this is the first "Alien" film that I've enjoyed since 'Alien 3' and I'm happy to count it as being a part of (my personal) continuity, unlike 'Alien: Resurrection' and those god awful 'AVP' abominations.

I won't say any more on the subject at the moment because I'll be posting a detailed YouTube review within the next few days, suffice to say; I rate the film 7/10 stars.

Eddie you just pretty much summed up my own experience with the film. I saw it again today and have been working on the script for a 5-10 minute youtube review since.

Thanks for that Eddie - decent fan feedback is always encouraging. Make sure you link us the video review!

[Prime113]

I'll be going at least 3 times this weekend.

*Bro-fist* At least twice for me, once by myself, once with a buddy, then, maybe if I can talk my dad into going I'll go for a third. Hoping does at least 55-60 million this weekend, but that might be a long shot.

[Crazy Rich]

Only once for me.

There are of course other sites, but these are 5 solid options. ERC likes to beat all others to the bunch. Deadline Hollywood typically gives 6 updates over the course of the weekend. 2 a day, 1 in the AM, 1 in the PM.

Not that anyone's paying attention, but per Exhibitor Relations: "Fox's PROMETHEUS has already landed $46,073,959 in limited Int'l release. Fire up the sequel, this pic is gonna be epic!!"

I'm a boxofficemojo guy. I check there frequently. So, if I somehow see something before, Spidey, I'll lend a hand.

I feel the same way kinda. I've been excited for a couple movies this year, but its been quite awhile since I said a film means something personal to me, and Prometheus means something personal to me. If my buddies say "Wow, that sucked" its like they're telling me something of mine sucked.

[r888]

I will watch it at least 4 times 

[Ratchetcomand]

I will be piss if the movie loses to Madagascar 3. I do hope the movie does reach $60 million this weekend.
