An old trick that still works is buy ticket for the non 3d version. Then hit up one of the aloof teens who works near the door and tell them u didn't realize u bought tix for the 3d version and you need your 3d glasses. They will go retrieve you a pair. Worked for me 3 out of 3 times over the past year.

i agree, i actually only make it a goal to get to the movies for action/comic/CGI films since i think they're the only ones worth spending dough on to see on the big screen (and sometimes there's a black movie i want to support) but this year, i feel like there have been too many action/hero flicks back to back. i'm not trying to spend my life in a theater, so i've missed quite a fewhollywood may be pumping out too many blockbusters
looking it up the first movie opened to $54,806,191 3 years ago.
This movie has absolutely zero competition that weekend so it should be able to at least hit 60-75.. hard to say i might be lowballing

If you actually care or WANT to see movie in 3D, then yeah, this ain't for you.
But I fukking hate 3D, with very few exceptions (Gravity, Life Of Pi & Avatar).
After a quick calculation, I've used my pass 45 times this year. So through 6 months, I've paid about $4.60 a movie instead of $9+. No brainer for me.
Deliver us from Evil may be a sleeper hit this weekend. The Conjuring dropped around the same time last year and cleaned up. Deliver us may not be as good as the conjuring and I don't think it has the buzz but horror fans love horror and fans always come out
I predicted conjuring would be #1 in a thread last year and people said i was nuts
i'm not getting the same feeling for this one.. we'll see though

I don't think it'll be number 1 but a strong number 2
nikkas really doubted the conjuring being #1??? What world are we living in? Guess they forgot Insidious was a hit and it was from the same director and horror movies kill in the summer time. Good think those cats don't work for studios
