“Fox is expecting a financial disaster…”

Wow, must be a really #$@!!% movie. ;-) But of course quality doesn’t matter. All that matters is quantity… of money.

Anyone needs another example of how copyright utterly destroys the true art? Ads make people go and watch #$@! and mediacompanies sell them #$@! every day.

No wonder they’re scared of leaks… :-)

I say they’re earning too much money anyway,with all the special effects and shit,it’s getting too easy to make a blockbuster without even having a good script…what happened to real movies without any overpriced sfx shit but with an actual plot,interesting characters…fuck hollywood, I’m glad we robbed them of their precious coke money and overpriced designer trinkets,down with the whores of babylon!

The fact that the leak was unfinished and missing special effects will actually end up helping it’s success.

The people who download the leak, watch it, and like it, will want to go to the theater and watch it again just to see the finished product with special effects.

One more thing I wanna add…when this movie drops, it will be a success 1-because it already has a built in audience, and when its successful, we the people who download movieswill have more access to “sneak previews” because other studios will start dropping hotly anticipated movies in this manner. It won’t happen to all thei movies, only the ones they know will be cash cows, so yesm you can look for more movies in the future, and remember BIG T said it first, because hey I got the inside scoop, and we the customers who go to the theaters win in the end.

First of all i don’t buy that I would never go see this in the first place. Just the suspense that hangs over the film of WHAT WILL THE SPECIAL EFFECTS LOOK LIKE will bring people who love the story of X-men, and who downloaded it out in groves. I happened to know a few people that work for FOX, and I don’t know what they know, but I do know alot of shady things go on behind those doors. This will be the biggest blockbuster ths year second only to Transformers 2. Oh, there will be no leak of that movie…sad. This movie Origins is HOT, FOX little experiment of lets leak this version to see what kind of response we will get, will not backfire on them, because first of all there are millions of people who do not download movies, and they will go see it. I forecast a 40 million opening weekend…who am I…it says BIG T that is all you need to know!!!

I rarely go to theaters. i’ll buy the blu-ray. I have no interest in hearing stupid ringtones, chomping popcorn, wittless chatter, seeing black spots flake across screen or sitting in a tiny chair with no place to stand up and stretch for 2 hours, let alone paying $12 to experience such discomfort.
the environment itself of “going” to a movie kills their movie sales. why don’t they just release a movie online in common video formats? home-theatre-like.
