I was a bit surprised it didn't do that well during the Opening Weekend but part of me was saying it wouldn't go down well with the current mainstream audience. If you look at the double feature concept it's something that hasn't been done in ages, and if it happens today it's in smaller fanboy cult circuits. I think Rob Rod and QT are in that minority the guys who'd appreciate films that were born outta that Midnight Movie craze. Sadly today people go to watch something for a couple of hours and go home. That is how most people perceive the cinema, to be light entertainment. If I was Harvey or Bob I'd have released it as a special screening for the 'real fan' and maybe split it for everyone else. I think it'll do good over here though. I for one can't wait. June 1st can't come soon enough! ;D

They showed the trailer for this before 300 and it definately looked like 2 separate movies.

Re: Grindhouse To Be Split????

I think it also suffered from opening over the easter weekend ..not a traditional time for watching this kind of film eh...Making $11.5M and taking the number 4 spot behind 'Blades of Glory' 'Meet the Robinsons' and 'Are we done yet' isnt bad realy when you consider the time of year...and the fact it took almost double what 'Wild Hogs' 'the Shooter' and 'TMNT' did

I can see that for the most part cinema audiences are unwilling to sit thru a 3 hour plus film but are more likely to sit thru the films seperate ..its a shame as it kinda misses the point of the whole 'grindhouse' concept

Might be one to buy on R1 in its 'complete' state

Maybe at cinema but at home surely they don't need to split the movies up,as i thought that was the whole point of the movies to give us a sense of a true grindhouse experience which was back to back films with all there glory.

Re: Grindhouse To Be Split????

it is a bit stupid splitting them up...the whole exercise has been carried out to be different from every other popcorn flick...full credit to rob rod and quentin for thinking outside the box.
