This is not the first time I've seen an awesome movie, only to have placed one small - single screen and only 4 run-times on OPENING WEEKEND. Overshadowed by other movies like Lone Ranger, which had been out and was terrible, which dominated a whopping 5 Screens in the theater. Something is amiss here. Anyone else get the feeling that there is some sort of conspiracy to make sure good movies don't... well... do good?
I checked the listening Today and Grown Ups has 10 Showtimes, Lone Ranger has 9 Showtimes, and Pacific has FOUR... FOUR!!!!!!!
http://goo.gl/UEGYqThe reason why Pacific Rim's opening weekend sucked is because Cinemas didn't PLAY the movie!!! How can a great movie get a good box office from just a handful of showtimes on opening weekend, bowing down to terrible movies that had an absolute ton of showtimes in comparison. What the hell is going on around here?
Here are more Showtime Listings from another big Theater in my area which gets packed on weekends: Lone Ranger has 16 Showtimes, Grown Ups has 10, Pacific Rim has 8.

Transformers has a franchise dating back to the 80s, with a lot of kids growing up watching it, not to mention Pacific Rim not even being up to par
