Nope, sorry, I'm not about to line the pockets of the likes of Aaron Sorkin and Danny Boyle, and I'm certainly not about to contribute to the "buzz" about this movie, however small that might be.All the posters bagging on the movie that haven't even seen it, you should really see the movie first before deciding how you feel about it.
Frankly, reading the Walt Mossberg review told me everything I needed to know about it.
Some people may wait to watch it when it comes out on Netflix; given that box office, it shouldn't be long.
Secondly, quite a few people that I know don't even know who Steve Jobs is, although they have an iPhone. I don't expect this movie to reach the commercial scale that The Martian
Not at the level of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" (and really, what other movie this year is?), but it seemed to me over the weekend that the movie had a similar ad buy to that first week "The Martian" was released. From what I saw, the ads for "Steve Jobs" were literally all over the college and pro football broadcasts. Universal spent some serious money promoting this movie over the weekend. Shouldn't that invite comparisons?
I'm guessing someone at Sony is feeling pretty smug over having dropped this film like a hot potato...
