What’s On Joe Mind Special Edition #27 – Retaliation Recap!

Good morning, G.I. Joe fans!

A short while ago, a few of us on the What’s on Joe Mind podcast were fortunate enough to get Dave Tree on our show.  Dave had the distinction of being able to get to a screening of G.I. Joe: Retaliation nearly two weeks before official release, and was right on the show with a terrific report about the film.

Unfortunately, the information was embargoed, so the Podcast couldn’t launch until March 27th.  The special edition went live on that day thanks to the heroic efforts of Gary, but with my work and web schedule I hadn’t had a chance to post an update about it until now.  This was a fantastic special edition with Dave breaking down the film piece-by-piece.

BEWARE – HEAVY SPOILERS ARE IN THIS PODCAST

Dave literally goes through the entire film and talks about events in the movie.  So for folks who don’t want spoilers, you’re gonna want to avoid this one.  Still some terrific insight.  Check it out on Podbean, or the embedded players below.

SHOW NOTES

First off…

SPOILER ALERT

We’re not kidding.  If you listen to this and you don’t like spoilers BEFORE you see the movie, then its YOUR fault.  We recorded this a few weeks ago just hours after our man in the UK, Dave Tree, got to see an advance preview of GI Joe Retaliation.  While the details were fresh in his mind, he joined Justin and Gary to give his full, no holds barred report of the film.  You patiently waited THREE years since Rise of Cobra AND on top of that, ANOTHER NINE MONTH delay so they can convert it to 3D.  Now it is OUR time and OUR turn.  Is everything better in 3D?  Find out next, in this monumental and landmark special edition of WOJM!  Oh, and thanks to Jon Chu for the intro!

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.

Thirty-Nine days later… reason #1 why G.I. Joe: Retaliation will be great

Has it really been 40 days?  Is that even possible?  I’m sure for Twitziller it feels like even more, but he’s right here on one last day to give us one last update to his 40 reasons why G.I. Joe: Retaliation will be great.

#1:

Is there any other choice?  Any other choice aside from arguably one of the most impressive action stars of the past few decades?  From Die Hard to Pulp Fiction, Bruce Willis has done it all.  He’s been around the block, and seen plenty of action, which is why his placement as the original “G.I. Joe” Joe Colton is so absolutely perfect.  Battle hardened, but with a desire to pass on his knowledge and skills, the original Joe pitches in to help the remaining members of G.I. Joe band together and overthrow the Cobra threat.

He’s not someone I would have ever expected to star in a G.I. Joe film, but now that he has, I can’t think of anyone else who would fit this role.

And that wraps up this amazing run of 40 straight days of Reasons why G.I. Joe: Retaliation will be great.  By now many of you have already seen the film and likely have some first hand knowledge about how close Twitziller was to some of his assumptions.  I want to thank Twitziller for putting in the elbow grease to do this on a daily basis as the Road to Retaliation nears its end.  A very exciting time to be a G.I. Joe fan, and I’m extremely pleased that he allowed me to share in this project by hosting it here on GeneralsJoes.

Now if you haven’t seen G.I. Joe: Retaliation yet, stop reading this RIGHT NOW and go to your nearest theater!  YO JOE!
