Might anyone have an inside scoop on where QOS will be screening in the Los Angeles area? CR had a very nice run at Grauman's Chinese and it would be nice to see QOS there as the spirit of cinema is alive in that room. Having Bond move back to The Arclight would not be too terrible but The Chinese has such an aura about it....

[Bryce (003)]

I have yet to hear of an official premeire Solex. I wouldn't be surprised if there was something staged at Westwood or Mann's though.

Rest assured, I'm already scheming up something as I've been bombarded by emails from those that have attended my previous gatherings.

I'll keep you in the loop.

Me? Bond premiere party?

No, they're never any fun.

[Athena007]

I have a feeling Quantum of Solace is NOT going to be playing at the Chinese Theater (thought it would be awesomely loverly) because there are two premieres at the theater on either side of Quantum of Solace's release date which means those movies will be playing at the theater itself...


Lionsgate's
"Saw 5"
Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - time TBA

Summit Entertainmen's
"Twilight"

I would love to see it at The Chinese. CR played at the Chinese.

But it'll probably be at the Arclight in The Dome. This is Sony's primo screen.

It is always exciting to hear of you scheming.

"This man schemes for pleasure..."

Looking forward, my friend!

Plans are afoot. That's what makes scheming fun.

Hmmm....surely they wouldn't keep a SAW movie around for more than three weeks though? They are strictly one weekend wonders that fizzle out as soon as Halloween has come and gone.

And does "Summit Entertainment" (whoever the hell they are) have enough clout to get the best screen in LA? Make way for BOND, you emo vampire geeks!

Just as an FYI Twilight is an incredibly popular franchise and one that will most likely take in quite a bit of money. My bet is that QoS will open at the Dome.

Be careful what you say about companies.

Why, do they have people everywhere?

I'm aware of Twilight's popularity amongst the tween set. But when I saw CR at the Mann, the line to get in was around the block. I'm sure this isn't uncommon when big movies open there, but Bond is a proven moneymaker; Twilight, as yet, is not.

[Ry]

The Chinese does not attract as much an audience as the Dome does. The arclight can also fill other theaters with QoS whereas the Chinese does not do as well with their theaters. The Chinese has not had big opening films in a long time. Not actually sure where Qos will premiere so who knows.

Twilight is the most anticipated movie of the fall, but no worries Bond will make a ton of money regardless.

Let's just say I work for a film company.

YES, they DO have people everywhere!

And on that note, now that Harry Potter has vanished, QOS and The Day the Earth stood still are generally regarded as the two big heavy hitters of the fall. Twilight is not - no four quadrant appeal, if we're going to get all industry-speak about it.

[Athena007]

It's true Twilight isn't "big" in the terms of raking in the cash. Though I am surprised how many non-teeny-boppers I know who are looking forward to it so I think it'll do well.

Quantum of Solace will rock, of course... but as for the Mann Chinese, I've not seen them snag up the "best" movies since the beginning of 2008 actually. I was shocked that the ne Indy movie wasn't showing there. The Arclight seems to be taking over. And hey, you know... have a Martini before AND after your movie without even leaving the theater, who can say no to that?

[Jackanaples]

I'm hoping it's showing at the Arclight. Then I can buy everyone's tickets and have assigned seats all in one go. For CR, I had to wait outside until the last minute waiting for friends to show up so I could hand them their tickets.

[Athena007]

I'm normally not a fan of theater assigned seating...
but in this kind of situation... I love the arclight...

[Solex Agitator]

This just in....

[Athena007]

Gotta do it! Do we know when the tickets go on sale?

[Jackanaples]

I was going to start a thread about that exact thing. When do the tickets go on sale? When I call the Arclight about such things they never seem to know. Is there an MPAA website or something that can provide that kind of info? Cause I'd like to get the day off from work to get there early to buy tickets.

[zencat]

My buddy Greg tells me the Landmark Theater is going to do a Bond themed event in their bar when QOS opens. But Arclight sound like the way to go. I'm in!

[Athena007]

You can also buy tickets on their web-site. Easy to do with you're at work (depending on if you work near a computer!).

[jaguar007]

I just may fly down to LA to join in the festivities. I don't know many ultra Bond fans in Portland, and there is never anything special here celebrating the release of a new Bond movie.

The Arclight Cinema's website tends to lock up horrendously when tons of people are trying to buy tickets for something at the same time. Getting LOTR tickets online was a nightmare I'd rather not repeat with QOS. It's possible the website has improved dramatically since, but I'm not wanting to risk it if I don't have to.

[Double-0-7]

I have spent a lot of money this year, but I may have to see if Jetblue has any deals to LA.

Hum... well I will say the internet system for buying tickets for The AFI Screening (w/ Connery) seemed to hold together pretty well for the tickets being sold out hours later.

We're actually getting a group together to see the film @ the ArcLight the night of Fri, Nov 14th. If there is anyone in town who would like to join in on this group I'm passing the final number of tickets onto our "buyer" the morning of Mon, Oct 13... so shoot me a PM w/ your contact info and number of tickets by midnight Oct 12 and we'll get you in on the fun.

jaguar007 & Double-O-7... I don't have the details yet and it's not my event so I probably shouldn't say too much about it, but Bryce throws his 007 premiere parties and from the sounds of it will be doing in on Sat the 15th... so if you two are planning on coming into town you should def contact him and see what the deal it with that. Again, I don't know if he's got a headcount limit or anything else but there you go.

[Neil S. Bulk]

Tickets for the Arclight went on sale today. The catch is, it's the Arclight in Sherman Oaks. No Dome screening it seems, unless they'll add that later.

Neil

[zencat]

Sherman Oaks?

Does that require a passport?

I'm sure it will be at the Hollywood Arclight. Just isn't listed yet.

[Neil S. Bulk]

Midnight show is up for sale at........The Cinerama Dome.

I chose not to go to that since I don't know when (or where) Casino Royale will be screened, so instead I'm going to the 12:10 pm show. I just bought my ticket.

CASINO ROYALE screens at 9 pm. QOS follows at 12:01 in the Dome. Neither film is going to start on time. Trust me, I live two blocks from the joint and go to movies there all the time. They'll allow people to get seated before the movie starts.

I just purchased tickets for a friend and myself for both of those shows as well as an additional ten seats for the Friday night 8.30 pm showing of QOS in the Dome. Woohoo!

[zencat]

I expect I'll be at that 8:30 show as well. A friend is buying a mass block of tickets. It's going to be fun.

So its confirmed to be in the dome, right?

And The Dome is, y'know, an awesome place? I've never been in there. Please assure me that $30 for two tickets plus extra for gas, parking, etc is gonna be worth it!

Will QOS be showing on IMAX anywhere?
