Get your OMGWTFLOLBBQS ready, Variety is seeking a talented and dynamic Social Media Coordinator (LA/NY postings) notfabio Aug 26, 12:16

Probably dirt cheap pay, the required qualifications are practically nothing except Photoshop/InDesign and 1 year+ social media experience. {nm} notfabio Aug 26, 12:20

HBO: Discover acclaimed movies, like the epic true-life story of Elvis, streaming September 2 on HBO Max. notfabio Aug 26, 11:43

Guess they feel confident they'll hit 150 anyway. Almost at $146 million as of today. {nm} notfabio Aug 26, 12:03

How wide is the IMAX rerelease this weekend? I think Regal is not charging a premium for it, which, should also help {nm} Kevman66 Aug 26, 13:49

Looks like it's just locations that aren't showing ROGUE ONE, and only one showtime a day with Top Gun, Dragon Ball and ET splits. {nm} notfabio Aug 26, 14:36

thank you for reminding about blockbuster warrants. ARB {nm} sneak Aug 26, 17:02

RT: 3TYOL went up to 69% Fresh (70% on the frontpage) Antibody Aug 26, 10:49

THR: indie chains like Alamo to Cinemark: "welcome to the Found Out phase of only booking studio junk on 20 screens" racaccoonie Aug 26, 08:25

Really? 11AM and no Thursday previews #s? I know Sony tends to be late, but... {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 26, 08:06

BOR: $775K for TBRID click999 Aug 26, 08:40

That's it? Late August... when everyone involved with movies simply gives up. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 26, 10:05

Well, I'm long on both PUs and short on both CA and OWs... we'll see how things go. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 26, 10:15

WOR on DWDRL "I’m hearing the movie is a stinker... a critical shellacking is incoming... vehemently disliked by Telluride" Antibody Aug 26, 07:52

Well, it will be at Venice first... I hope that's not true. I think it's one of the only movies with guaranted $20m opening in sept {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 26, 08:06

Harry fans probably won't read reviews. {nm} Antibody Aug 26, 08:17

Ha ha.. no, probably not. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 26, 09:18

How can it be vehemently disliked by Telluride when that hasn't happened yet? Unless it was submitted and they hated it? {nm} notfabio Aug 26, 08:28

Yes, he evidently spoke with Telluride "festival programmers confided to me their bewilderment about its (Venice) selection." {nm} Antibody Aug 26, 08:39

It also doesn't help that DWD's Venice premiere is on 9/5, the final day of Telluride. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 26, 09:17

its a World Premiere at Venice so we know Telluride passed {nm} Moviesnob Aug 26, 11:56

hot take: Booksmart wasn't that smart racaccoonie Aug 26, 11:08

Variety: SLABE says he wasnt fired, he quit over prep time and provided emails, texts and videos for proof re: Dont Worry Darling notfabio Aug 26, 06:35

It sounds like Olivia Wilde was over dramatising her protecting Florence Pugh but he is spinning too. {nm} notfabio Aug 26, 06:42

thats a heck of an email there at the end. islndr Aug 26, 06:46

Ugh... can Wilde sue Variety for printing this? Doesn't this fall under similar purview as recording someone without them knowing? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 26, 06:57

The video was recorded and sent by Olivia to Shia. {nm} Antibody Aug 26, 07:12

He seems to contradict himself, saying it was schedule alone, but then forwards stuff from Wilde saying Pugh isn't comfortable with him. {nm} numbersix_99 Aug 26, 07:05

comfort with his professional acting method, not behavior from his personal life. {nm} Antibody Aug 26, 07:20

We don't know, because the message doesn't specify, it just suggests Pugh isn't happy. Either way, it still contradicts Shia's narrative {nm} numbersix_99 Aug 26, 07:25

Will be interesting if Pugh is vocally supportive of Wilde when she starts doing press notfabio Aug 26, 07:33

They'll be together at the Venice premiere on September 5 {nm} Antibody Aug 26, 07:48

Variety probably should have asked her! {nm} racaccoonie Aug 26, 08:27

They did and she declined to be interviewed. {nm} Antibody Aug 26, 09:17

The rumos said that Pugh was unhappy with Wilde and her behavior on set as a director. TheWeekendWarrior Aug 26, 09:20

Oh, I guess there's Chris Pine and all sorts of Trek crap from red carpet interviews in 3...2....1 {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 26, 09:21

We do know, because from Olivia's POV, it's a commitment issue for Flo Antibody Aug 26, 07:32

Elvis is in Imax this weekend. {nm} notfabio Aug 26, 06:22

I change my guess, Magic Mike's Last Dance makes more sense as WB's untitled event film for Super Bowl weekend. {nm} Antibody Aug 25, 21:42

That's a pretty good guess. I hope you're right. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 26, 06:31

I'm sure The Invitation will be trashed by critics... they don't like not being able to review a movie before release. TheWeekendWarrior Aug 25, 19:28

Yup.. at 30% on RT but going up... TheWeekendWarrior Aug 26, 07:24

SLINGSHOT is test screening Wednesday, August 31, 2022 in the OC notfabio Aug 25, 18:17

THR from June: Julie Andrews "I think it would be too late to do it now... it’s too far down the line now to go back to it. " Antibody Aug 25, 17:15

Just have Emily Blunt play the Julie Andrews role. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 25, 20:26

DL: Dan Lin’s name is one of those in the mix for the top spot at DC Films. Antibody Aug 25, 15:45

As my first move as head of DC Films, I will pay the tax penalty and release BATGIRL! {nm} Dan Lin Aug 25, 15:47

I doubt he said that during the interview. Fans are already clambering for #RestoretheSnyderVerse {nm} Antibody Aug 25, 15:58

Yeah, I was just joking, but if they want to start him off on a good foot with the fans, there are worse first moves they could take. {nm} notfabio Aug 25, 16:11

Better move would be announce Henry Cavill. {nm} Antibody Aug 25, 16:15

I doubt he has a lot of interest in what fans want. he's a right down the middle producer. He will need to surround himself with folks who Moviesnob Aug 25, 16:21

THR's reporting is more definitive, he's the one, just finalizing talks. notfabio Aug 25, 15:48

basically Hamada part deux {nm} Moviesnob Aug 25, 16:02

DiscoWB has been on a tear replacing minority/female execs with Zaslav clones, so that may be a consideration (Lin is also a good guy) {nm} notfabio Aug 25, 16:08

So what's really interesting is that Dan Lin produced the It movies... with Andy Muscietti who directed... TheWeekendWarrior Aug 25, 21:37

AFTR4 is not the final film. HFTIF announced "After Everything" has wrapped. Antibody Aug 25, 15:16

aww, i thought this was the Before Midnight sequel {nm} racaccoonie Aug 25, 15:25

These are the panels that will live-stream from D23 Expo. The Disney Legends Ceremony is what all the leads from FROZEN will be at notfabio Aug 25, 14:36

The Disneyparks Sunday panel is the most likely to have news of anything besides that {nm} notfabio Aug 25, 14:40
