Win a signed G.I. Joe: Retaliation poster from IMax!

The fine folks from Imax have dropped me a line to let me know that they are running a very cool contest, with an even cooler prize!

Here are the details:

“We’re inviting people to use Vine (https://vine.co/), the 6-second video app, to create their own PSA video for a chance to win a G.I. Joe: Retaliation poster signed by the cast. The winner will be chosen by IMAX, and the contest ends this Sunday at midnight EDT. For inspiration, check out some of the submissions in our Gallery!

One Grand Prize winner will receive a G.I. Joe: Retaliation poster signed by the cast and a 4-pack of IMAX tickets. Two runners-up will receive a G.I. Joe hat, bag, toy and pair of IMAX tickets. Attached is an image with instructions, and you can enter via our Facebook Tab or Twitter page. “

The attached image below also outlines the requirements and the prize.  Pretty awesome!

Early reports from G.I. Joe: Retaliation Box Office are looking good

I know a lot of folks were wondering what was up with the shifting release dates, sneak previews, and other jumping around with G.I. Joe: Retaliation as we neared the Easter weekend.  As for myself, I wasn’t complaining at all, as it gave me the chance to see the film a few days early!

Turns out the move might have benefited the film.  Several early box office reports have started coming in, and signs are looking good for a strong opening for G.I. Joe: Retaliation.  Various articles below talk about it:

Deadline reports that chances of the film hitting a $50M+ opening weekend are good while the Hollywood Reporter says that International markets should top $100M for the opening weekend.  That would put G.I. Joe: Retaliation at around $150M for opening weekend numbers, which is half of what Rise of Cobra did for its entire theatrical run (both domestic and international).

Keep in mind that opening weekend generally makes up a large percentage of overall Box Office sales.

Interesting information to be sure, and numbers to keep an eye on.  Thanks to Twitziller and ComicBookMovie for the info.
