Author Topic: Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel release date moved up to 12/23/09 Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 12-12-2009 11:37 PM                        I just noticed the change on BoxOfficeMojo.com and confirmed it with ComingSoon.net and Foxintheatre.com. I can't find anything to say when the change was made, but it seems to be in the last day or two. EDIT I just found something that says this happened in November. Please tell me I'm not the only one who missed it.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 12-13-2009 12:41 AM                     You're not. I figured this would happen though...  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-13-2009 12:46 AM                        I first heard about it from our booker on Monday of this week.  |  IP: Logged Tony Ratcliff Expert Film Handler Posts: 216 From: Madison, IN, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 12-13-2009 03:51 PM                     I.M.E. showed the change at least a couple of weeks ago. I also noticed it some time ago on boxofficemojo.com. Smart move if you ask me - get the kiddies before Christmas, and get away from the packed Christmas day releases.  |  IP: Logged Geena Phillips Expert Film Handler Posts: 198 From: Norcross, GA / USA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 12-24-2009 10:48 PM                        The very existence of this movie is so dispiriting to me that I don't even have the wherewithal to call it "Electric Boogaloo."  |  IP: Logged Cassandra Palko Film Handler Posts: 30 From: Menomonee Falls, WI USA Registered: Jul 2009 posted 12-26-2009 02:39 AM                        I'm amazed it beat out Avatar by two million on Wednesday  |  IP: Logged Ian Parfrey Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1049 From: Imbil Australia 26 deg 27' 42.66" S 152 deg 42' 23.40" E Registered: Feb 2009 posted 12-26-2009 05:05 AM                     Cassandra. Is that with the Avatar 3D premium ticket pricing or 2D standard ticket price?  |  IP: Logged Cassandra Palko Film Handler Posts: 30 From: Menomonee Falls, WI USA Registered: Jul 2009 posted 12-26-2009 08:20 AM                        It wasn't broken down by format - just title: Alvin beats Avatar by Thursday, Avatar was back on top,  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-26-2009 09:19 AM                        Yes, after listening to "Princess and the Frog" for 2 weeks with its decent songs and normal voices, it's gonna be a long 2 weeks listening to the chipmunks. But with the number of butts in the seats I won't be complaining too loudly.  |  IP: Logged Caleb Johnstone-Cowan Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 593 From: London, UK Registered: Mar 2006 posted 12-26-2009 07:45 PM                     We opened the film on Monday 21/12, it was very busy, had sell-outs for some shows and that was despite having two prints. The film looks terrible but you just can't complain when kids are having fun, and the ticket and food money comes flooding in! I hope there is a 'sque-three-dee-kquel'?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-27-2009 11:35 AM                        We had a so-so crowd on Christmas, so didn't quite know what to expect for Saturday since it's a huge go-to-Billings-shopping day around here...but we were packed, matinee and evening. This movie is kicking butt. I still don't see the appeal of it though, and I grew up during the first Chipmunk era, so I should be a real fan, but .... WTF?  |  IP: Logged
