Holy cow. Didn't even know about this until now.
No Stallone, huh? : )
"Hey, doll, you're my type!" (Oops, wrong series)
...In Santa Cruz's one " megaplex " , it's in just one theater , alternating 3-D and flat...with all the flat shows in cheaper matinee time , by contrast , when I saw PARANORMAN there recently , there was a lower-priced flat show and a higher 3-D show in both matinee and evening hours ( And , Paranorman was down to that from each format originally being seperate , in different theaters , IIRC . )...Not boding well for how " the biz " sees its potential ? Movie news reports now go on and on about " the expected gross " of movies being predicted by the biz before they are even released !
...Okay , I did end up seeing DREDD last nite .
In 3-D , which as it happens was busting my cherry for seeing any modern-era 3-D movies in 3-D , ( The era which started with AVATAR . ) I've always seen 'em in 2-D B4 .
A review in SFGate/the San Francisco Chronicle helped influence me to...I have not seen the NY Times yet...........

...Later on , I will spoil some , but I will mention now that , when I saw it , it was the first time I've ever been to a modern-era 3-D movie IN its 3-D version - I'd seen the 2-D versions before seeing this one , always .
...In the 80s-90s period I bought a few of the Quality American-format reprints - which tended to strech or shrink the panels of the stories to fit them to the American format - but , I sort of had the impression it was " only " a sort humorous , darkly , very brief stories strip , almost like an ultra-formularized Sunday strip , though extended , like And Her Name Was Maud! or Little Nemo In Slumberland except instead of a mule's kick or a little boy waking up the eternal punchline in the last two panels was Dredd bursting in and going " OK , you creeps ! It's the Iso-Cubes for you ! Five years !..." or suchlike .
A few years back I was buying the spin-off JUDGE DREDD MEGAZINE , which features more Dredd and Dredd-related material than the main 2000 AD and mised new stories and new to me reprints and text pieces - I saw that tyhere was more " deep " , " real " , at least comic book lvel , sci-fi/adventure stuff to JD .
A few years ago?? DC picked up the rights from Rebellion again for AJudge Dredd and the rest of 2000?? for America , I guess just putting out American market-compiled book collections and letting the original version come into US comics shops in the original Limey JDMZ and 2000 mags and not bothering with U.S. format magazine publishings of that...let alone attempt another American-produced series ! Do they still even hold THAT ???...
...Could someone please access this weeks Norrh American movie weekend grosses , please ?????
It sure ain't in the Top Ten , I can tell you that !!!!!!!!!!! It' still in SC , somehow...A contractual two weeks ?????
...Okay , I am kicking this up now , as I hinted/indicated...........
Very definitely. It's supposed to be a giant city on the US east coast resulting from the linking up of the major cities there. I think it became known as Mega-City One when the "Cursed Earth" storyline, one of the feature's first epics, established there was a counterpart Mega-City Two on the west coast. (I haven't looked in on the strip for twenty years and for all I know it may have been destroyed by now.[1]) The same story also established that there'd been a nuclear war and the lands of the central US were now post-nuclear holocaust wastelands.
(1) Yes.
