Hold on to the mug. At the rate they are going you might be able to sell it on eBay and by a new car.Well I put the call out and managed to get myself a hatbox ghost tiki. Apparently it was not easy, and people lined up early and they passed out wrist bands.
Small consolation though, since I was in a car accident a week ago and the damage estimate just sky rocketed on my beloved Challenger and now I'm worried they're going to call it a total loss.
We actually have a City Works in Pittsburgh - I didn't realize it was a nationwide thing.YES!

I was just there on Monday last week and I can attest that the Cheese Curds were EXCELLENT.
Sorry to hear about the accidentWell I put the call out and managed to get myself a hatbox ghost tiki. Apparently it was not easy, and people lined up early and they passed out wrist bands.

It will not
It wasn’t at Disney springs last year. It was a one time thing in 2017.

It's no wonder that movies aren't having super box offices any more unless it is some huge blockbuster --- for "casual" movie goers (aka parents) -- why bother going out when you can watch it from the comfort of your home for infinitely cheaper just 3 months later.
Yes I realize that now but I did see it in Jan 2017 so that’s why I said that.2016

We still see movies that we really want to see in theaters (normally on a AMC Tuesday Ticket deal so it's around $5 per person) but there are plenty of other movies that I'm somewhat interested in seeing but don't want to see in theaters. Normally because there's some other movie I want to see more or a movie that got bad reviews so I'm not sure if I want to see it in theaters, etc and I get those movies most often from our local library. Granted it typically takes longer than 3 monhts (as they have to order the movie and then what order you are in terms of hold) but it costs me $0 to see it. Now it won't be Blu-ray but for many movies I'm totally ok with that.It's no wonder that movies aren't having super box offices any more unless it is some huge blockbuster --- for "casual" movie goers (aka parents) -- why bother going out when you can watch it from the comfort of your home for infinitely cheaper just 3 months later.
I wonder once Disney has their own streaming service that we'll just see movies like this just go exclusively to the streaming service rather than pushing it to the theater. *shrug*especially for movies where there isn't that *need* to see it on the big screen. Like I am much more likely to go see something like Infinity War on the big screen than Christopher Robin which I think provides a similar experience watching at home

I fear Disney may see some "Disney fatigue" with all of these live-action remakes. Between Marvel, Star Wars, animation .. etc. Your typical Disney family only has so much money to see/buy/rent a movie .. and even less if they want to go to the parks... LOL.
I don't think the vast majority of people in America really care if a movie is made by Disney or someone else. On these type of boards? Sure. But most people? If the movie looks good, they go, regardless of who made it.
I won't go to a movie in theaters anymore that isn't a blockbuster special effects type movie. There is no point in me seeing Christopher Robins or Mary Poppins in theaters. My home TV is large, fantastic, has great sound, comfortable seats, etc. I just don't need to spend $15 a ticket, $30 on popcorn and sodas, etc to see a drama or comedy on the big screen. For my wife and I to do dinner and a movie, with a babysitter, it's $100. For me to take the kids to an animated movie, even at matinee prices, it's $75 by the time I get a few snacks for them.
I can wait and have my Pop Secret for a $1 a bag and my movie for $6 for the whole family, no babysitter, and better food.
