DL: VC bros pumping their investment in A24 after Everything Everywhere Oscar haul. Beau is Afraid is $40-50 million budget notfabio Mar 17, 13:46

GASP!!!! MID-BUDGET!!! Hide your kids, hide your wife. {nm} notfabio Mar 17, 13:46

That's a lot of money for Beau is Afraid. Hope they don't make the same mistake Focus did with Egger's The Northman {nm} JayPrimetown Mar 17, 13:49

It'll need legs, which A24 isn't notorious for, Midsommar didn't make it over 50 million WW.. {nm} notfabio Mar 17, 14:00

It basically needs to do Everything Everywhere box office to be a success (not sure if A24 sells off intl like Lionsgate does) {nm} notfabio Mar 17, 14:02

They do {nm} Moviesnob Mar 17, 14:11

Ah, that helps things a bit, it doesn't seem like their marketing is bait and switch this time, so that may help legs. {nm} notfabio Mar 17, 14:17

This is a known theatrical property so I would expect international to cover 50% of the budget {nm} Moviesnob Mar 17, 15:13

you mean make money? thats not a mistake {nm} Moviesnob Mar 17, 15:21

Well, the trailer certainly doesn't help their cause much. It doesn't work for me. My interest lessened after seeing it a few times. {nm} goodvibe61 Mar 17, 15:30

Heh, Netflix upped their bribe to $50.00 Visa Gift Cards for Thelma The Unicorn test screening tomorrow in the IE notfabio Mar 17, 13:32

There's no Moana 2, only a D+ series. {nm} Antibody Mar 17, 13:18

THR: In depth interview Beck & Woods on 65. There's a 20 minute longer cut of 65 (vs the 90 minute one that was released) notfabio Mar 17, 12:50

They had hoped to keep the dinosaurs secret longer, but Sony convinced them to change their minds. {nm} notfabio Mar 17, 12:52

The Guardian: Sam Neill has Stage 3 blood cancer. notfabio Mar 17, 12:39

He says he is in remission now Peter453 Mar 17, 12:50

Lymphoma is quite beatable. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 17, 13:17

THR: TCRUI had a meeting with the Zas, asked to see THE FLASH, had a private screening at his house, loved it. notfabio Mar 17, 12:23

Called Andy Muschietti to rave about it. This has Terry Press's fingerprints all over it. (The fixer WB hired to help on The Flash PR) notfabio Mar 17, 12:25

Some PR spin for the inevitable doom headlines we will get for Shazam 2 weekends box office {nm} Peter453 Mar 17, 12:29

I predict the next GFR headline: Tom Cruise to star in Attack of the Titan/Roadwork directed by Andy Muschetti {nm} Antibody Mar 17, 13:14

Lance Reddick has passed away (John Wick, The Wire) {nm} Peter453 Mar 17, 12:03

RIP {nm} cmbastos Mar 17, 12:13

Always Cedric Daniels to me. Very sad. {nm} MattW Mar 17, 12:44

Great actor. He's Phillip Broyles in Fringe for me. {nm} JayPrimetown Mar 17, 12:47

:( {nm} DTravel Mar 17, 13:16

DanielRPK published something on HEAT 2 to his patreon, I'd imagine someone will copy and paste soon. notfabio Mar 17, 11:42

THR" Katee Sackhoff seems to be positioning herself to take over for Pedro Pascal "I love working in a helmet" in The Mandalorian notfabio Mar 17, 11:27

Davis is really pushing diversity for the next Oscar: 2 fem/2 black directors, 3 poc actor, 2 poc actress, 4 poc sup actor, 5 poc sup actres Antibody Mar 17, 10:58

WB must have really given him a nice ELVIS gift basket. Pimping The Color Purple hardcore for a project with no buzz on it (so far). {nm} notfabio Mar 17, 11:01

That said next awards season is going to be a bloodbath tooth and nail battle, so many serious contenders (on paper) {nm} notfabio Mar 17, 11:03

And we still haven't heard the changes made for campaigning by the Academy, have we? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 17, 15:42

The Piano Lesson is not even in production! {nm} Antibody Mar 17, 11:06

Davis has greenlight authority! Take that Feinberg! ;) {nm} notfabio Mar 17, 11:12

It's his regular M.O. since joining Variety. TheWeekendWarrior Mar 17, 15:41

COCAINE BEAR has hit PVOD (not sure if it was on Tuesday or today - 21 days) notfabio Mar 17, 10:35

And Knock at the Cabin still hasn't. Hits digital 3/24 even though it opened lower than Cocaine Bear. TheWeekendWarrior Mar 17, 17:07

DL: Confirms Sneider's scoop, David Robert Mitchell will direct a film to be shot in IMAX starring Anne Hathaway for WB/Bad Robot. notfabio Mar 17, 10:20

Doesn't confirm the part about it being set in the 80's and involving dinosaurs, but JJ mystery box is going to JJ mystery box. {nm} notfabio Mar 17, 10:22

Production begins in the Fall. Seems like JJ is trying to save his deal at WB vs leaving for Apple/etc. {nm} notfabio Mar 17, 10:23

Sneider is asking that DL credit him. notfabio Mar 17, 10:32

He should've published an article on ATL, not just twitter/podcast. {nm} Antibody Mar 17, 10:38

Yeah, not sure what his pay is like on ATL, but at 5K views on average for The Hot Mic that's like maybe $25.00 in ad revenue. {nm} notfabio Mar 17, 10:50

(for Youtube anyway) {nm} notfabio Mar 17, 10:50

And it's hard to link to the middle of a video. {nm} Antibody Mar 17, 11:09

it went VOD after 18 days. {nm} Antibody Mar 17, 10:18

I think only Jordan Peele has gotten a longer theatrical window than contractually by BO required at Uni since the 17 day window pact. {nm} notfabio Mar 17, 10:26

Chris Nolan being his own special case coming up. I don't see anything on their slate except Illumination titles that might get exceptions. {nm} notfabio Mar 17, 10:30

THR: Daisy Edgar-Jones to star in Twisters [TWIS2] Antibody Mar 17, 10:04

Needs a starbond {nm} Peter453 Mar 17, 10:07

Not a sequel, no returning characters (Helen Hunt must have said no) {nm} notfabio Mar 17, 12:08
