Dan Fellman Quotations

We're having another fabulous year. A lot of people are crying wolf early.

Motion picture history was made this weekend. The first four days of 'Reloaded' exceeded the previous best four consecutive days ever on a motion picture, which happened to be 'Spider-Man' (with) $125.8 million.

Joel Silver continues to deliver number one openings for Warner Bros.. This the eighth number one opening for Joel out of his last 10 pictures for the studio. With 'Matrix Reloaded' (May 15) and 'Matrix Revolutions'(Nov. 7) both going this year, he'll definitely extend that impressive record.

Releasing select sequences of Superman Returns in IMAX 3D marks a groundbreaking moment in movies. This film is going to give fans an opportunity to be immersed in a major live-action motion picture like never before.

I was very pleased with the opening. It exceeded our expectations.

I think this is going to be a test for the studios,

We are tremendously pleased with the opening weekend results for 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' in both IMAX and conventional theatres. The unique experience that IMAX theatres offer moviegoers is generating incremental revenue for our event films, proven by this giant record-setting opening weekend and advance ticket sales at IMAX theatres. We look forward to continued success as we enter the holiday season.

We are thrilled with the unprecedented box office performance of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in IMAX theatres. The IMAX release helped contribute to the overall excitement surrounding the Harry Potter campaign as well as the theatrical success of the film.

We are thrilled to see the IMAX DMR version of this classic story continuing to generate substantial box office returns, even in its second season.

We've learned the audience has grown older with the movies, so the PG-13 rating just played into the core of the audience.

The exit polls (for 'Cradle') were really excellent with a very strong definite recommend category.

The exit polls are great. Sixty percent of the audience were males. It was 50 percent over-25 and 50 percent under-25. We're going to hang around for a while. I think we certainly have a shot at $200 million.

We rallied the troops and said let's go into Los Angeles and see if we can get the movie rolling,

We just had the biggest year in out company's history. And we owe it to our exhibition partners to show we're still holding our own.

As the audience has gotten older in time, faithful readers of the Potter books will remain faithful to the movies,

I've been telling people for a long time that I think it's content-driven. I don't think we had a film that jumped out for people this weekend, ... North Country.

The rollout is slowly starting to happen, but we have a long way to go, ... As the number of conventional theaters with digital projectors increase, so will the number of theaters we serve.

That's much higher than we expected. We're hoping that means the box office can go higher than an audience of just young males could take it.

This is an industry that is content-driven, and when the content is there, the box office responds. There's really nothing broken, it's just a matter of coming back with some good product. Fox is having a good year as we are.

There's always those in the industry making predictions outside our company, but we knew the strength of our movie, ... we're nothing but thrilled.

It's a tough day today. Everybody is going to really take it on the chin.

It's a full play for those who enjoy martial arts movies,

The audience was primarily under 18 (with) slightly more males than females. The film crossed ethnic boundaries very well. Kids loved it and it will be around for a while.

T3's' five-day number becomes the largest July Fourth opening of any R rated movie, ... The highest grossing July Fourth movie was 'Terminator 2' (with) a five-day gross of $52 million. We exceeded that by 40 percent (and are) very, very pleased with that opening.

I'm very pleased with (the opening) considering what's going on in the world. I believe that certainly part of our potential audience was lost to war coverage. We have a movie that appeals primarily to young males and older males and I think that's the audience that spends more time watching (war) coverage. But, hopefully, we'll recapture that group sometime during the week or maybe next weekend.

I'm very pleased. It looks like the whole weekend was impacted by the ballgames (the World Series began Saturday night). The exits were terrific. We have an older audience and I think we all were affected by the ballgames. We're there for the long run. We've got great exits and great reviews and we'll just keep playing.

By Wednesday, we'll pass the largest R-rated movie ever, which was 'Beverly Hills Cop' with $234 million. We're opening 39 IMAX runs this week. The picture looks sensational and I think we'll get our core fans to come back and reload this weekend.
