i saw it already....the box office is gonna be a disaster
....why did they release it in ANY country?....of course everyone will see it before it hits theaters. Smh....
shareyeah, i do not understand why studios do that staggered(?)/roll out release the way BLOOD WARS is doing it. surely they must know that a cam'd version of the film will show up online within a week of it's first opening (in Russia, Argentina, Australia, etc., etc.). i honestly can't even come up with a possible good reason why studios would release a movie over a month earlier in one region and then release it the following week in another regions and so forth and so forth.
shareLol, where have you been, Jet?
There IS ALREADY a cam version online for this movie, lol. The quality was quite good, by the way.
That's crazy. I think Sony doesn't care about Underworld anymore. They're clearly focusing on Resident Evil.
hi kobold! is the cam you're referring to this one (it's just a pic of screengrabs from the only cam i know about)...

the reason why i ask is because this cam's quality was not very good at all and it was also filmed off center (like the person who filmed it sat on the far right (or left?) side of the theater).

Downloadhub, FWOLF, NAKRO, Zist ?
I have seen preview images of those and honestly, the quality looks like to go from just plain crap to utter garbage in video quality.
I am amazed that there actually is an audience on the internet, for such extremely low quality pirate releases. share
I tried to watch it online, and I agree, the quality was horrible. I'm planning to see it at the cinema, anyway, but wanted to see some parts before it's out in the UK. The only one I found was crooked and dark with poor sound quality.
Go with your heart, buddy. Our brains only screw things up.
That's really stupid from Sony Pictures. + week would be ok but a whole month? That NEVER WORKED. Look at Inferno or Warcraft, thos movies were also released later in the US and they did absolutely terrible there. Same counts for other movies.
shareThe Great Wall is another film in a similar situation: Already released in China, doesn't come out in North America until February.
shareChina is the second largest market. Its almost the equivalent of releasing it in the US. That said, waiting until Feb seems a bit extreme.

What you failed to point out is that many of these films performed better internationally than they did in North America and that they're also places where piracy has more of a chance of legitimately affecting box office. It makes perfect sense to release them there first, because they run less risk of having that be a factor right away. I think that here in the States, a higher percentage of people watching bootlegs were never going to pay to see it to begin with, or that the audience for some of these films, particularly a drama like "Inferno" that's aimed more at our parents, aren't the types that watch bootlegs online.
