This is Movie Poster Monday!!!

This Movie Poster Monday we'll be reviewing "Immortals". This week's five points of the poster are:

1) I did enjoy the movie poster for 300, so I'm glad that as I review this poster I can do so screaming, "This is SPARTA"!!!

2) With so many names listed I almost thought that there were big time stars on this movie poster! But then I saw "Stephen Dorff" and I realized that they just decided to list a bunch of names. To be fair though, Mickey Rourke was nominated for an Oscar and Freida Pinto was nominated for TWO MTV Movie Awards (Best Kiss annd Breakthrough Performance Female) so there is some talent on the roster...

3) In the past Movie Poster Monday has been critical of movies that try to use "3D" as a selling point. While we still feel that it is no longer something that will make your poster special, if done discreetly it can still enhance your poster without being lame. This use of "3D" is subtle and doesn't distract from the rest of the poster. Nicely done.

4) I would love to have been on the set for this movie poster shoot! It's always a challenge to get people to stand on their marks for the shoot, but to actually suspend them upside down is quite another challenge. Danger points for suspending armed movie poster extras. Excitement and violence from all movie poster viewing angles, this is good work!

5) It's always interesting to see the competition that takes place when people are jockeying for prime movie poster positioning. Some people will do anything to be the center of attention in a movie poster and who could blame them? A starring role in a quality movie poster could make or break your career. Even Chuck Norris barely survived appearing in the movie poster for Top Dog, only escaping C-list obscurity thanks to a rescue by his TV alter-ego Walker, Texas Ranger. Here we can see that our friend here, who apparently felt a gold medallion on his stomach would be better than one hanging from a chain on his chest, is willing to do anything to secure a choice spot on any movie poster. I feel we'll see great things from him in the future...

In conclusion, based on this thorough analysis I predict that "Immortals" will gross $18.9 million in its opening weekend.
