Author Topic: Hulk (UK) Michael Harlow Expert Film Handler Posts: 170 From: Faversham, Kent, UK Registered: Jul 2002 posted 07-20-2003 02:41 PM                     Just wondering if my fellow exhibitors are finding the box office result on the Hulk to be poor? I've spoken to a few people and they say that their business has been very poor on this  |  IP: Logged Darren Briggs Master Film Handler Posts: 371 From: York, UK Registered: Dec 2001 posted 07-20-2003 05:04 PM                        Yes this film isnt doing too good. On the first preview we only had 50 in , but had 100 in for Whale Rider, the latest New Zeland hit. Hulk might pick up this week as the schools are on summer hols now.

Sort of like comparing Michael Jackson to Kiri Te Kanawha !  |  IP: Logged Darren Briggs Master Film Handler Posts: 371 From: York, UK Registered: Dec 2001 posted 07-21-2003 04:19 AM                        Not that you are at all biased to NZ peter! Whale Rider is a realy great film though, a must see.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 07-21-2003 08:43 AM                        I saw the not-so-jolly green giant on the Saturday late show in York and the audience was only around 15-20. It got really bad reviews in almost everything. I saw Dark Water in the same slot last week and it was easily three times as full. It's a bit like Godzilla - perfectly harmless crap for the summer hols but hardly a masterpiece.  |  IP: Logged John Spooner Expert Film Handler Posts: 186 From: South Australia, Australia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 07-25-2003 02:07 PM                     We are currently running it in one theatre only, very poor attendance. Double feature with 2 Fast2 Furious. Too long at 8 spools, also not enough continuous action and noise that children want now.  |  IP: Logged Dan Harris Film Handler Posts: 86 From: Bristol, UK Registered: Jun 2003 posted 07-26-2003 08:27 AM                     Awful business with Hulk. Bruce Almighty is doing better, and it's in a theatre half the size! Expecting T3 to do some good business on Thursday though...

Have you all seen the movie? It's bad. Bad as in not good at all. Word of mouth really killed it.  |  IP: Logged Dan Harris Film Handler Posts: 86 From: Bristol, UK Registered: Jun 2003 posted 07-31-2003 12:56 PM                     Bad film. Very bad. Worth staying until 2am to run a staff screening Dan  |  IP: Logged
