Merged: The Movies Thread

[itvnetop]

What kind of bugged me about the whole G.I. Joe marketing was the fact they refused to let mainstream critics even see the film before it opened (only a few fringe writers got to see it). I don't see what the problem was- even when critics blasted Transformers 2, it still made ridiculous amounts of money.

Something sounded off when the distributors were saying (paraphrasing), "We are staying away from the coastal urban areas with this film. Our market is the midwest and southern areas." This is kind of a backhanded comment, imo- basically saying they believe people living in their target demographic have bad taste in film.
