"I was thinking about getting off on demand, but it sounds like I should be glad that I didn't"
I'm having a hard time even picturing what they are going to do to make it appropriate for the theater. I think a lot of people are wondering the same thing... which will eventually end up drawing the crowds.
On a side note, I just read Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys. I had it on my dresser and was horribly embarrassed to think that maybe the carpet cleaners saw it and thought it was a Fifty Shades book. It's actually a YR book about a Lithuanian girl taken by the Soviets during WWII and sent to Siberia with her family where she lived for 12 years. I'd highly recommend it, if only to remind people that this actually happened.

I think maybe opening weekend it will do okay, but after that it will fall off. I could see if doing well as a rental or on demand.
I think there is a difference between reading the book in public (which I would not do) and sitting next to someone who is seeing the same BDSM scene that you are. I would be so uncomfortable sitting next to a stranger watching that.
I don't know how big the movie will be honestly. It's taking way too long for them to make it. I feel like it was kind of a flash in the pan and now the hype has largely passed.
I hope it's unintentionally hilarious and that they make a Rifftrax for it.

Thanks for the recommendation.
My mom is Latvian and this is what happened to her family that wasn't able to escape to Germany during WWII. They got shipped to Sibera. Only one cousin from her dad's side and one cousin from her mother's side survived.

Exactly this. My book club has already talked about seeing it for this reason. We read the books and none of us can figure out how they're going to make an R rated film out of the book wothout heavy editing of the story. I think the first weekend/week will be good and then depending on what kind of press/word of mouth it gets it'll tank or go huge.
Do you think this will actually do well in the theaters?
I can see people renting/buying it to watch at home, but I feel like it would be really uncomfortable to watch, in public, with other people around you getting turned on.
Grant it, I haven't read the book so I could be wrong but I dunno.
I have a feeling this movie is going to be seriously watered down and wont turn people on anyway. Magic Mike was not a turn on by any means. It was more of a comedy IMO
