DL: Alan Rickman's Harry Potter Film diary excerpts, gist, he wanted out after the 2nd one, but decided he might as well see it through . notfabio Sep 26, 09:58

Collider: Werewolf By Night OMGWTFLOLBBQ's, super dark and violent (it is actually in B&W, not just a D23 trailer thing) notfabio Sep 26, 08:52

Also the Werewolf transformations are practical FX vs CGI. {nm} notfabio Sep 26, 08:52

Variety: Netflix has hired a Zynga exec to run an in-house game studio in Finland. So expect more Farmville type projects. notfabio Sep 26, 08:46

'Hocus Pocus 2' early twitter reactions call it Magical, Hilarious, and On Par With Original Peterlee Sep 26, 08:22

sadly, If Disney decided to release it in theaters, it would probably the highest-grossing film in September, and theaters would be happy {nm} Peterlee Sep 26, 08:26

Short version, 9/30 is Disney's fiscal year end and they needed the immediate D+ Hocus Pocus fan subscriber bump to shore up #'s notfabio Sep 26, 10:07

Similarly, Disenchanted is apparently, not very good per early test screenings and their D+ slate is missing Mandalorian for end of year. notfabio Sep 26, 10:16

How many subscribers will sign up or renew exactly on Sep 30? {nm} Antibody Sep 26, 10:22

Moreso the 1-2 weeks leading up to it so they for sure can see it as soon as it's available, and retention {nm} notfabio Sep 26, 10:25

releasing it mid-Sept with a 45 day window to have on Plus for Halloween would have gotten the lion's share of box office it would ever get raccacoonie Sep 26, 11:36

DL: Jatinder was right. Giant 38% drop from Thr/Fri of 38% for DON'T WORRY DARLING, 19.2 million 3 day official estimate. notfabio Sep 25, 08:42

THR says 10 million for AVATAR reissue. notfabio Sep 25, 08:44

3.01x Friday mult so probably more family audiences than expected with so few other options. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 25, 08:49

ERC phrases it a little confusingly but I believe he's saying 93% of the box office for the re-release was 3D notfabio Sep 25, 09:10

I actually just checked to see if there were many non-3D showings and couldn't find any. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 25, 09:27

I even see some 4DX showings, but doesn't that involve a lot more work to put a movie into that format? TheWeekendWarrior Sep 25, 09:28

This Variety article goes over the process, it's about two weeks for the seat movements, then FX with input from filmmakers in some cases notfabio Sep 25, 09:39

I have seen one of the APES sequels in it and Ford vs Ferrari. It's pretty exhausting by the end of it for long movies. notfabio Sep 25, 09:47

I've only seen the first half hour of San Andreas in 4DX and my head was being shaken so much, I could barely see the movie. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 25, 10:07

ERC: All Top 5 locations for DON'T WORRY DARLING were AMC. notfabio Sep 25, 08:54

And what percentage of that was AMC A-List? :) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 25, 09:29

Anthony D'Alessandro: " I think DON'T WORRY DARLING is the best movie I’ve seen all year" {nm} Peterlee Sep 25, 09:01

Not sure if anyone posted this but not only does Avatar have a short preview of Avatar 2 (basically a 3-5 min scene) but... TheWeekendWarrior Sep 25, 05:53

So much of the plot driven dialog just stops Don't Worry Darling dead in its tracks. It just doesn't work. goodvibe61 Sep 24, 17:00

WOM is pretty mixed. I don't see much in this film developing legs. {nm} VictorY Sep 24, 17:10

There's a big reveal (MAJOR SPOILERS) TheWeekendWarrior Sep 25, 08:54

Harry Slyles acting was a huge problem. DWD could have used a much more seasoned actor for such a piviol role. {nm} Movie Cub Sep 25, 07:47

Many actors have better acting skill than Harry Slyles, but very few of them have bigger box office draw than him {nm} Peterlee Sep 25, 08:58

That's premature. DWDRL may top out around $45 million. {nm} Antibody Sep 25, 09:11

Anyone with more box office draw would have cost $12-20 million vs $3 or less for him (total budget was $35 million), not worth it. notfabio Sep 25, 09:30

It {nm} Kevman66 Sep 25, 23:44

It was a weird movie... $45 is probably the upper limit of it with anyone in it. And, might squeak out a profit too (narrowly) {nm} Kevman66 Sep 25, 23:45

I thought he was fine, but that's it. It points out yet again how little artistry is needed to be a competent actor in Hollywood. goodvibe61 Sep 25, 09:17

The majority of the role just retired him to look good in a suit, which, check, but (spoilers inside) Kevman66 Sep 25, 23:15

He's better in My Policeman but that's Amazon so won't be able to compare box office. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 25, 10:23

I can think of 20 off the top of my head {nm} Moviesnob Sep 25, 11:54

Yup... totes. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 25, 08:53
