BOX OFFICE: Analysts Not Predicting A Big Weekend In North America For DREDD

I'm gonna give them my 7 to 15 dollars!

Amazing film

i didn't think judge dredd comic's were that popular in america in the first place.so i didn't expect it to do as well there like it did in the rest of europe,especially when you have to compete with spider-man & batman.

@WolverinesZombie
really? because besides this site I havnt heard a soul speak about Dredd lol

Imma laugh if these " analysts " are proven wrong...I, for one, am very interested in seeing this movie :]

I see it advertised everywhere here in NY

I hope Dredd does well at the box office! *Fingers crossed*

"The advertising campaign for DREDD has been poor as it essentially ended after the film was released in the UK two weeks ago."

I've seen ads for this consistently for the past 3-4 weeks, no idea what you're talking about.

Word of mouth is everything for this movie now.

I think DREDD has had plenty of adds, the trailer was less than impressive in my opinion though. I'm not a huge DREDD fan and there really wasn't anything in the trailer that made me want to become one.

and please let Grif say what he wants, the guy never says anything bad about other users and you know he's not trolling cause he would have stopped many years ago if he was. Grif is a part of what makes this site great.

Before the weekends over Josh will post 4 articles that go back and forth on how much money this movie will make.

how can this be when everywhere i go i see ads for this film

CBMers unite! go pay to see this movie!

John Carter ads and those shiitay motion comics that were 14 decibels louder than the ad that preceded it.

Dredd only has like 5 [frick]ing showtimes on Saturday at my theater. And it is a big theater.

What the [frick]??? That's why.

I wonder if Clint is talking to an empty chair in that movie?

Support it we must.

As I have said hundreds of times, now.

This film will be excellent but it won't make much money.

Nothing against him, but a non-comic-book-fan friend of mine thought that this was a remake of the Stallone movie, of which he didn't even know was based on a comic book. To me, that's indicative of the general pop & what they might perceive this movie to be. I wanna see it, but I'm not gonna go rushing out the door.

Also, the box office has been generally shit. It's like everyone spent their money on Avengers & Batman & blew their wad!

Seeing the Master this weekend; probably on Saturday. I might catch Dredd sometime next week.

Dredd is the CBM dark horse of the year regardless of the box office numbers it pulls. Makes TDKR look like the Power Rangers.

This film in my opinion is better then The Avengers and TDKR!! I kid you not... It's a real man's movie... I'm talking stuff like Robocop, Die Hard, Escape from New York etc. if you loved 80s action flicks then Dredd is the film to see.

If you go see anything other then dredd this weekend, you're just a bloody p@&sy in my eyes... Forget the master and anything else. This film needs all the support it can get.

As much as I love PT Anderson, I'd never pay to see anything of his on the big screen... Mainly because it would be no different to watching it on my TV. A film like Dredd however is made especially for the cinema!

ive said if before an i'll say it again this movie is the dogs bollax!!! best film this year for me!! there where even four 80+ grannys watchin it! so i think this will make the numbers...

this is gonna be a thrill ride from start to finish................can't wait

In terms of characterization, Dredd 3D is rather good. It does capture the essence of the Judge Dredd character. However, in terms of its plot it's rather poor. The plot is a variation on Die Hard, there is little Dredd world content, the block looks too modern and slummy, the action content isn't that high and a bit brief.

I don't consider it a great Judge Dredd film. A great Judge Dredd film would require a much larger budget and a more imaginative, inspiring storyline. There's not much to be inspired about in Dredd 3D - not unless you think watching the main hero walking along slummy corridors for much of the plot is the height of 'originality'! Plot-wise it's pretty lame so its predicted low box office isn't a surprise.

It would have helped the film's marketing had Lionsgate not shown a certain character being pushed through a window! That was a major dumb decision. A better title would have helped too. 'Dredd 3D' is the lamest title someone could come up with.

Speaking as a life-long Judge Dredd fan I believe too much is lost when the character is transferred to the big screen. Something is missing and that's...

The Britishness of the character.

Judge Dredd is set in future America but the comic strip has a British sensibility. Without that sensibility - the humour, the wacky quality, the concise, taut, inventive writing style of John Wagner and Alan Grant, you lose the essence of the character and the world. No exaggeration but Dredd 3D is just a simplistic variation on Die Hard but 2000AD's Judge Dredd has so much more to offer. There are so many one part six page Judge Dredd stories that are more imaginative, funnier, more absurd, more intelligently plotted than what you will see in Dredd 3D. That doesn't mean Dredd 3D is an outright failure but it does make it unoriginal and uninspired. When a new Judge Dredd film is made and people are eager to compare it to Die Hard or The Raid you know it's got major storyline problems. It's just too unoriginal and that's a great pity.
