DL: Jonah Hill will not do press for any of his films (even a documentary he directed) going forward for his mental health notfabio Aug 17, 14:50

Seems like a publicity stunt for that documentary (which is about the anxiety of doing press for his film), but he's notoriously difficult. {nm} notfabio Aug 17, 14:52

BSL/OTN: "multiple sources" SHERLOCK HOLMES 3 is eyeing a late 2022 production start in jolly ole Atlanta. notfabio Aug 17, 09:23

Because it makes a lot of sense for WBD to spend hundreds of millions on making another movie in this already-dying franchise. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 17, 09:37

The Zas sure does seem to be courting the AARP Movies for Grownups crowd between this and the DeNiro x 2 Mob Movie. {nm} notfabio Aug 17, 09:42

Says DBSSH is in 3,940 theaters including IMAX, Dolby, etc... that's 3X as many theaters as the previous movie... so def. lowballing. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 17, 07:26

FYI, Deadline got this wrong. Someone from CrunchyRoll reached out to me to say that it's 3,940 SCREENS (so probably more like 2k theaters) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 17, 12:57
