[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Will COS have "legs"

[TACtalk at adelanta.co.uk]

Thanks for the various remarks about the expected run of CoS. I noted last
year that HP1 ran for considerably longer in the UK than the US; I was in
the US in late January, and PS/SS was only being shown as a matinee at a
couple of out-of-town smaller cinema complexes. In the UK, the local
multiplexes kept it running throughout the day until mid-February, in other
words, the end of the half-term holiday.

I think that the Christmas period will be crucial. The thing about the HP
films is that they appeal to that young age group who will see a movie over
and over, which contributes greatly to the box-office returns and thus the
length of the run.

Well, I suppose it's not only that age group!

I *hope* that CoS too will keep showing until February; it meant that there
was only a 3-month gap between the last time I saw it at the cinema and the
date when I could buy the DVD. Not that I was addicted, you understand.

That's good to know; the reviews that I have read all indicate that the new
Bond is little more than a series of action pieces; though of course, with
it being the 20th Bond, it is getting a lot of media attention.
