Wait… it left theaters already?

[–] reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It left IMAX, not theaters! IMAX has limited slots

What, they gotta keep showing those shark documentaries year-round?

[–] reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are you thinking of the planetarium? I would love it if they produced a sci fi epic for planetarium.

Planetariums show shark documentaries? Did you all gaslight me on discovering aliens?

[–] reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 week ago

Some aquariums have planetariums and show films about the ocean.

If you haven’t smoked weed and gone to the planetarium you’re missing out!*

"pfft if they're that interested in Saturn's rings, let's just show them something even older: sharks."

That's what I'm saying. Didn't it just come out like two weeks ago? Since when did we start speed running theatrical runs? Avatar 3 was in theaters for damn near two months

years ago. the average theatrical run is like 3 weeks, maybe 4-5 if it's a BIG movie with staying power like Mario Galaxy.

the days of a movie being in theaters for 2-3 months are 10 years ago or more. after 2-3 months the movie is available to stream. 2nd and third run theaters also don't exist anymore.

No, itt left IMAX screens to make room for Mario, it was still in regular theaters the whole time. Now, it's coming back to the premium theaters.

Boo! 😒

That’s the wrong galaxy to be showing us!
