DL: Children of the Corn remake in 500+ theatres this weekend, Welcome Villain only got 150 theatres for Hunt Her Kill Her. notfabio Mar 03, 09:26

Has RLJEfilms ever reported anything? Already planned for Shudder in a couple weeks {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 03, 11:02

DL:Legendary Taps Jonathan Krisel (Portlandia) To Direct ‘Pokemon Detective Pikachu’ Sequel notfabio Mar 03, 09:17

DivinitySeeker claims it's not actually a sequel, but DL claims that Ryan Reynolds is expected to return in some capacity. notfabio Mar 03, 09:18

Kind of going off the rails on trust me bro it's not Detective Pikachu 2 right now. So I guess we'll see. News is one day after their post. notfabio Mar 03, 09:30

Jonathan Krisel is in negotiations to direct [PIKA2] {nm} Antibody Mar 03, 09:42

Wasn't there a news shared here ~18 odd months back that PIKA2 was going direct to TV (possibly as a series)? {nm} Tallwonder Mar 03, 09:59

There's a separate Netflix Live Action TV Series in development. {nm} notfabio Mar 03, 10:06

Am I old, or is there still a demand for this dopey thing? haha... {nm} Flash Mar 03, 15:10

Welcome Villain is promoting Malum in theatres everywhere March 31st notfabio Mar 03, 08:56

Looks like they got a decent # of theatres in the LA market for Hunt Her Kill Her this weekend, but some are only showing 1-2x a day. {nm} notfabio Mar 03, 09:10

It's a remake of THE LAST SHIFT from 2014 notfabio Mar 03, 09:12

Ha... you beat me to it... was gonna post about Welcome Villain trying to be an indie player... {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 03, 09:18

Now the question will be will they report? Both titles are NR which makes them tricky to book, but less tricky after Terrifier 2. {nm} notfabio Mar 03, 09:20

Yeah, it seems like everyone is trying to jump onto the Terrifier 2 bandwagon but that movie benefitted from being a sequel. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 03, 11:21

DL: ‘Creed III’ Punches $5.45M In Previews Antibody Mar 03, 07:26

Box Office Pro: Ruse De Guerre $220k Thursday {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 03, 07:53

I think notfabio posted this but there were no Thur previews for Demon Slayer even though the last one did great on Thurs. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 03, 07:55

74% of gross from Thursday, 26% from Wednesday and other misc early shows. {nm} notfabio Mar 03, 08:04

Oh, right... Weds. I think this is still good for $45-50m and I bet it gets at least an "A" CinemaScore if not higher. TheWeekendWarrior Mar 03, 08:14

DL: Cocaine Bear 1.48M. ANTM3 1.4M, Jesus Revolutions 1.3M for Thursday Peter453 Mar 03, 08:16

PAINT tickets on sale seems like it probably is HSX wide but AMC only has two showtimes a day on sale in Socal notfabio Mar 03, 06:16

I saw the trailer in front of Ruse de Guerre, and it doesn't look that great. The fact it's not playing SXSW may be telling. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 03, 06:51

Jatinder: Looks like $6M+ previews for #Creed3 Antibody Mar 02, 23:33

Someone Like You (faith based) movie is test screening in the OC sounds like the author of the book put up P&A notfabio Mar 02, 19:18

Doubt it gets more than regional release her other 4 films went to Hallmark {nm} notfabio Mar 02, 19:20

Pretty sure I caught a couple of APLAZ's resjfor {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 02, 18:43

Reshoots or Operation Fortune {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 02, 18:44

They they de-Ukranianize her too? :) {nm} notfabio Mar 02, 18:55

Nah, probably just removed lines that they are Ukrainian TheWeekendWarrior Mar 02, 20:46

Vulture: Recap of current bad projection issues. The bit about discontinued Sony Projectors is true (though most are yanked) notfabio Mar 02, 18:15

That's what's a little questionable in the piece -- AMC Empire was part of the initial batch of theaters converted in the Cinionic laser dsbman Mar 02, 18:24

Yeah, definitely just a polarizer thing with that specific complaint I suspect there's still some Sonys in like the Inland Empire. notfabio Mar 02, 18:46

I only skimmed, but does article only talk about NYC?...haven't had problems at my fave AMC here in suburbs of SoCal...but that's me {nm} tealfan Mar 02, 20:25

the summer in college i worked at AMC didn't have too many projection issues, except i forgot to start Ghost one weekend night my mate paul Mar 02, 21:38

that was you?! 😋 {nm} tealfan Mar 03, 09:39

Variety: Paramount is trotting out costumed Ghostfaces for viral appearances ala Scream VI, some have had the cops called on them. notfabio Mar 02, 17:10

(ala SMILE) {nm} notfabio Mar 02, 17:10

Someone'll get shot soon for a $100/day promoter role.. {nm} Tallwonder Mar 02, 18:38

No joke. Rogue Pictures wanted to have Ski Masked actors stalk box office lines for CRY WOLF in the LBC. I declined that idea. notfabio Mar 02, 18:48

Sneider/The Hot Mic: Unconfirmed rumor that SPIDER-WOMAN shoots in 2024 notfabio Mar 02, 16:24

Also, Sydney Sweeney plays SPIDER-WOMAN in MADAME WEB and (presumably) the 2024 shooting film. {nm} notfabio Mar 02, 16:25

Obviously should be contingent on how Madame Web does. Jay_Beezy Mar 02, 18:04

I think SPIDER-WOMAN is pretty safe even if Madame bombs. They should have done that first before Kraven/Morbius/Madame anyway {nm} notfabio Mar 02, 18:38

If *both* Kraven and Madame Web bomb, though, I think that'll spoil their plans. {nm} Jay_Beezy Mar 02, 18:47

Could be, the lack of news on EL MUERTO has me thinking that's not happening. {nm} notfabio Mar 02, 18:57

Perhaps more specifically, what if Madame Web flops and Sweeney is considered a weak link or at least doesn't stand out? Jay_Beezy Mar 02, 19:27

Which means that HBO will probably try to get the cable/streaming rights... {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 03, 05:32

An animated BATMAN BEYOND along the lines of SPIDER-VERSE was/is in the works at WB, but was a pre-DCU project so future TBD {nm} notfabio Mar 02, 16:30

Sneider making up for his non-internet breaking scoop last week: Stargate, Legally Blonde and Thomas Crown Affair are priority MGM projects. {nm} notfabio Mar 02, 16:39

Maybe he's decided he's GFR now and throwing it all out there, also "prioritizing" Poltergeist, Robocop and Rocky franchises {nm} notfabio Mar 02, 16:51

MGM has been taking pitches on these IP's forever, {nm} Moviesnob Mar 02, 17:00

But now more than ever! (ahem) {nm} notfabio Mar 02, 17:06

at least he didnt threaten to hold anyone hostage this time Moviesnob Mar 02, 17:12

Neill Blomkamp responded to the Robocop news by tweeting a photo of his personal ED-209 (long before he was attached) notfabio Mar 02, 19:28

BO: Sony releaseing THE BOOK OF CLARENCE - September 22, 2023 [TBOCL] Antibody Mar 02, 14:56

DL: Sony will open Legendary's THE BOOK OF CLARENCE 9-22-23 (positioned for TIFF awards play, or positioned for dump, you decide!) notfabio Mar 02, 14:56

Side note, almost everything Legendary should go out through Sony via their new distribution pact except sequels at other studios {nm} notfabio Mar 02, 15:09

Doesnt seem like Sony or anyone else wants Toxic Avenger. {nm} Antibody Mar 02, 15:46
