A Geeky Viewpoint: July 2014

Introduction

A Long Time Geek
A Long Time Blogger
A "NEW" Blog

Back in the mid 90's I was convinced to create a blog discussing Sci-Fi / Fantasy Movies, talking about how I would review those movies and what I was looking for. I kept that particular blog current, or at least somewhat current, for over a decade. I found out in March 2014, that my blog provider was shutting down for various reasons, leading me to work to start a new blog.
I probably will be moving relevant material over sporadically, especially when I quote it. So don't be shocked to see material from as much as 15 years before the launch of this edition of a geeks view. It, unfortunately, is a lot of work and not just a simple cut past to move the stuff over.

Guardians of the Galaxy - Box Office Prediction

Posted by Jeff

Comparable Movies - $96 million

Competetion - 0

Calander - $10 Million

Movie Fatigue - 0*

Hype - 15%

$106 - $121

Wildcard Statement - Many people have suggested this film be seen in IMAX 3D to get the biggest um bang for the dollar, currently the high water mark on that market is 10%, with this opening in a large number of large format theaters this could easily eclipse that! just shifting the traffic around to more expensive tickets could see $140 million.

The real question is how many new viewers are going to pick this one movie to see, with two a-listers and a professional wrestler as um secondary characters you are going to pick up some fans.

My final prediction is $118 but I won't be shocked to see it go much higher.
