How can we start a movement online to simply get people to NOT go see GI Joe 2 on it's opening day? After all if they can make us wait 9 months what's to say we can't wait another 24 hours?
IF it worked and a large amount of people didn't go Friday night it would at least freak them out as the Friday night is a the big night. Still going that weekend will give them our money but will not hurt the makers and stars of the movie. |

Good idea, in theory.

This movie is going to fail before it opens in March 2013 with all the internet leaks and piracy distribution before hand

I keep hearing this movie is gonna leak but how the f**k can anyone be sure? Its not like Paramount just up and leaves the reels laying around. And Im sure no theater got thier copy yet.
In order for the movie to leak someone would have to gain access to a finished version, mission-impossible that bitch out of Paramount studios and then somehow upload it without leaving a trace of any IP that could be linked back. Its not like it happens often, ever since the Wolverine movie dabacle studios take measures to prevent this stuff.

Is anyone else reminded of the phrase "cutting off your nose to spite your face"?

No. That is a terrible phrase! How insensitive, some people are born without noses.

Its not like it happens often, ever since the Wolverine movie dabacle studios take measures to prevent this stuff. however, IIRC, each copy of celluloid costs a ballpark of $20k to produce and I imagine they would have had to be finished with that production by now to be prepared for distribution in order to meet the June 25th date. Sunk cost.

Do you really think there are enough joe collectors to cause a dent in a movie gross? Unless you are buying tickets at a million dollars, they wont notice squat.
