do u think that GTA4 will actually hurt Iron Man ticket sales?????

analysts and ea ceo think that gta4 will hurt iron man ticket sales. I want to play that game badly but not bad enough to stay home and play videogames... wat do u think

Ironman.... GTA.... Ironman..... GTA....

Screw ironman, im staying home all weekend to play that baby.

no...it's just ea trying to get free publicity....GTA 4 looks like it could be the begining of the end of the series....CIoud_S

Omni Slash why you gotta be so crazy!

Why the heck is EA saying that? It doesn't even publish GTA4.

They're just jealous of Take2. They'll be way out of reach of EA once GTA4 releases.

GTA use to be original, exciting. The last installment was starting to boarder on repetitive. This one looks to bring nothing to the table that I care to even play anymore. Sure it looks purty, but it's just not doing it for me anymore.CIoud_S

So does Final Fantasy, 40 dozen games later and the only new it's brought to the table is a Poor Mans KoToR.

Why not buy GTA 4 AND watch Iron man? Problem solved :D

How about try reading previews? There are a ton of new things brought to the table.

in my case, it would because:

1. iron man looks like crap, like most of the super hero movies.

2. playing gta iv >>>>>>>> watching a lame movie.

3. spending money to watch a crap movie instead of saving it to buy gta iv? no no no

? I dont it is just the first review to come out. Anyway every big review magazine, site has been groveling ever since theve gotten there hands on gta. So I cant imagine any poor reviews anyway.

As For Iron Man, It looks like just another sub par superhero movie. Ill save my 7 bucks for the dark night

I hope so. I hate the comic book movie trend. The reason Spiderman was good was that he was a teenage boy like the audience for the movie and that during most of the flick he is unmasked. And Superman is good too because he retains his human unmasked appearance in costume. The others have felt like cash ins, even the sequels to Spiderman and Superman themselves.imitationflavor

"Iron Ma...What on earth are you freaking doing at the movies? Shouldnt you be playing GTA?" My reaction to anybody seeing Iron Man.

Kidding of course, but I do think GTA 4 will have a small impact on ticket sales, not huge mind you, but small.

Judas priest>GTA4>Iron maiden also I'm sure people can get both.

Edit: I read iron maiden for some reason, but what i say stands.

I think it's unlikely that GTA IV will hurt Iron Man's box office take for a few reasons:

1. GTA's an M rated game. I don't see a whole lot of parents dropping 60 bucks on a game that their 10 year old probably has no business playing nyway.

2. Iron Man is a high profile film which is opening during the beginning of the blockbuster movie season, plus it's a moviethat most parents will wind up taking their kids to see, being it's a PG-13 film. It'll wind up doing just fine.

I remember that last year Dreamworks blamed the failure of The Heartbreak Kid on the release of Halo 3 the week before. What they failed to realize that it was an R-rated romantic comedy starring Ben Stiller. Stiller is NOT a good romantic lead for starters. Plus, Heartbreak Kid was released during the fall...not exactly a high profile movie season.

I kind of have to agree with his there. San Andreas did feel a bit rehashed. There was too much of a "been there done that" feeling.

I'd buy it gor the new pysics system. Nothing like driving on a sidewalk during rush hour.

Iron Man? I didn't know people cared for that.

Psh, I felt that way about GTA the day they announced Vice City. Turns out some of us don't like to play the same exact game over and over again except this time set in the 80s man! Like awesome!

But hey, at least they're making a genuine effort to make GTA4 less typical and more clever. I hear some of the old hardcore GTA whingers think 4 is so different from the previous games it *isn't* a real GTA game and therefore will suck. Who does that remind you of? That's right. The Fallout Jihadists over and No Mutants Allowed!

ill just buy the game play all week and then see the movie

I agree.. but its to be expected.
