Twelve (12) MovieStocks (M/S) Bit The Salty Pickle Of Pardinky (Dead Delist CashOut). Link & List Attached. Jan 06, 16:41
it's not a good feeling to see I owned (some of) these {nm} Jan 06, 17:38
It's always a GREAT Feeling when they are ALL Held in the SHORT Position. Jan 06, 19:11
I closed Nightwing short 1 day before delist. Price was ~2.24. ~340K lost by just 24 hours. {nm} Jan 06, 22:33
DL: M3GAN 26 million 3 day projection based off 11.4 million Friday est (incl previews) Jan 06, 16:39
Has to be a higher multiplier than this with positive WOM {nm} Jan 06, 20:05
B CinemaScore for M3GAN Jan 06, 21:00
DL 4:24pm: M3GAN $11.4M Friday, projecting weekend less than 10xP Jan 06, 16:38
S411: None of the 103 new HFPA voters, not members, are invited to the GG show Jan 06, 15:47
PUSS2 is already available on demand. Jan 06, 15:03
Today is 17 days no? {nm} Jan 06, 15:27
Yep. So contractually it's in line, but still, SING 2 didn't go on demand until February 17th with a sub 40 million 5 day. Jan 06, 15:32
Which I'm sure was a keeping Chris Meledandri happy move, no one is left at red headed stepchild DWA with real industry pull Jan 06, 15:35
that was twice as much box office + Uni is really pushing PVOD now {nm} Jan 06, 15:36
Sure, they don't have to share the profits with those stinky exhibitors. {nm} Jan 06, 16:38
100% of the revenue goes to the parent company on Comcast cable {nm} Jan 06, 17:11
They'll still play it until $100M by week 5 or 6. {nm} Jan 06, 15:49
Will most likely be 100M by next weekend. {nm} Jan 06, 15:58
Only mid-90s IMO. {nm} Jan 06, 16:09
Will depend on how much the PVOD cuts into its legs. {nm} Jan 06, 16:32
Reddit's guess Stephen Yeun {nm} Jan 06, 13:49
PW via Reddit: Filoni & Favreau have another Star Wars show code-named Ghost Track 17 (could be BOBF S2 or MANDO S4) Jan 06, 13:56
Sneider: He was mistaken, the POC lead role is a female, which matches what GFR posted a week or two ago. Jan 06, 14:36
GFR had also posted way back at the end of October that Oscar Isaac is also back. Jan 06, 14:42
Do reliable (third party, or at least independently verifiable) figures for streaming viewership exist yet? {nm} Jan 06, 16:52
The Chelsea 9 NYC (which was a big deal when it was Clearview, was recently remodeled by CInepolis) is closing January 8th Jan 06, 13:23
Damn, that's a shame. It wasn't a bad theater and was one of the few ones in that specific area Jan 06, 17:11
The official Cinepolis farewell Jan 06, 17:15
Belloni/Puck: Updated 2 week trailer view #'s from CCXP debuts, INDI5 79 million, GOTG3 187 million, TFRM7 506 million Jan 06, 13:03
I thought a lot of these "views" are bots and hard to take seriously? {nm} Jan 06, 16:03
Autobots? ;-) {nm} Jan 06, 22:30
From THR/Heat Vision Email: TBNEL has joined DUNE2 {nm} Jan 06, 12:55
Ah, found it on THR (link inside) Jan 06, 12:55
Not sure but it might be his response to SenJohnBlutarsky on the stars board. {nm} Jan 06, 12:56
Jason Blum, presumably is liking M3GAN early Fri grosses "she's heating up" (the 1:20 in Burbank is 3/4th's full at 12:30) Jan 06, 12:31
Variety: Character actor Earl Boen (the psychologist in the Terminator films but a ton of other 80s films) has died Jan 06, 11:58
THR: Paul Mescal is in talks to play the lead (adult Lucius, presumably) for GLADIATOR 2. Jan 06, 11:44
Women are so thirsty for Paul Mescal after Normal People that it might bring in more of that demo than normal. {nm} Jan 06, 11:54
Aftersun has really thrust him into the limelight especially as awards bait {nm} Jan 06, 13:14
Kevin Goetz via Belloni - studios should bail on prestige dramas in theaters Jan 06, 11:11
Variety: James Cameron confirms that AVATAR will now 'easily" turn a profit and "looks like I have to do these other sequels" Jan 06, 11:10
[AVATAR 2] {nm} Jan 06, 11:10
Flash forward, AVATAR 3 "only" opens to 175 million.... {nm} Jan 06, 11:15
I think you should put that prediction in concrete cause you might be close :) {nm} Jan 06, 11:16
IPOing AV4 and AV5 on back to back days would create a nice bloodbath on here {nm} Jan 06, 11:19
What could mess with things a bit is if #3 really is 9 hours long, he may split it into 2 or even 3 films by itself. {nm} Jan 06, 11:25
9 hours will be for streaming not theatrical {nm} Jan 06, 11:31
Think they'll at least do extended editions for IMAX like the first, but haven't heard how much was cut out of #2 {nm} Jan 06, 11:36
Apparently a 10 minute action scene was cut that he felt over-glorified gun violence, so unsure he would add that back.. Jan 06, 11:50
Well, that brings it down to 8 hours and 50 minutes! :) {nm} Jan 06, 11:54
then it would be a one off, theaters cant really do 9 hour movies easily. {nm} Jan 06, 11:59
not 9 hours but alamo had to "air out" the theater for basically a day after Butt Numb a Thon (24 hours) {nm} Jan 06, 12:11
To be fair, that was pre-COVID. Now, they'd literally have to knock down that Alamo location and rebuild it from scratch. {nm} Jan 06, 12:15

(Sorry for the double post... sometimes happens with my funk wifi) {nm} Jan 06, 12:16
Did Cameron apologize for his current release's dismal (438, or was it 439) box office? {nm} Jan 06, 12:14
chop chop...get back to it James! {nm} Jan 06, 12:36
[SICK] (which i thoroughly enjoyed and think its commercial for COVID narrative) goes to Peacock next week Jan 06, 10:43
I hope their servers can handle the influx of new subscribers. Jan 06, 10:53
since its Uni, Miramax didnt get a big enough offer to make it worth their while not to go through Uni Jan 06, 10:59
I've been meaning to see Harbinger cause I missed it at Brooklyn Horror FF. {nm} Jan 06, 11:00
I'll send you a screener if you want {nm} Jan 06, 11:08
Maybe after Sundance... did it actually get released in 2022? {nm} Jan 06, 11:12
yep, first week in dec {nm} Jan 06, 11:19
Crap, totally missed (but probably no fault of the publicist) {nm} Jan 06, 12:19
Variety: 2.75 M3GAN so 30+ is debatable PG13 horror usually is frontloaded but pretty rare for well reviewed horror Jan 06, 07:36
Smile 11.35x = 31.2 so it has a chance if WOM goes crazy and most schools were back in (at least some aren't back yet) {nm} Jan 06, 08:10
Variety low balling all weekend figures. Seems like old tracking data. {nm} Jan 06, 08:21
No, that's the official estimate from Uni. {nm} Jan 06, 09:32
from Tues, not a new projection based on previews. {nm} Jan 06, 10:13
Huh? The $2.75m is the same number you posted below. {nm} Jan 06, 10:21
Jay is talking about the 17-20 weekend figures. {nm} Jan 06, 10:54
OW is right on the 10X mark, which means it could go either way. Jan 06, 09:33
Gonna predict an A- CinemaScore. {nm} Jan 06, 09:34
V: M3GAN $2.75 Million in Previews Jan 06, 07:35
