THR: Brian Tyree Henry has joined the cast of Flint Strong, which now has MGM on board [FLNTS] Antibody May 25, 12:21

Doesn't appear it has a guarantee of wide theatrical release, so may get the Thirteen Lives treatment. {nm} notfabio May 25, 12:27

Doesn't that also mean Amazon's standing in the shadows? {nm} Tallwonder May 25, 12:31

Will depend on if CREED 3 gets a full wide theatrical release (so far no rumors it isn't)/is a hit I'd imagine. {nm} notfabio May 25, 12:40

Marquee franchises (Rocky/Creed would count as 1 - just) don't go direct to streaming, Covid issues notwithstanding Tallwonder May 25, 12:52

Some random TV spots last night, MINIONS was strongly pushed "ONLY IN THEATRES," Luck was promoted "streaming soon" but August not mentioned {nm} notfabio May 25, 11:55

Smart. I have "Minions" pulling the upset over "Lightyear" in my Summer picks. That's solid marketing {nm} VictorY May 25, 11:59

LIGHTYEAR is doing the same only in theatres. Demos are going to (in theory) be a bit different, Minions is more 4 quad (in theory) notfabio May 25, 12:12

LY could use a stronger push on that however, we're not seeing much {nm} VictorY May 25, 12:17

I honestly haven't seen almost anything about Minions. I have heard the song by Tame Impala and Diana Ross, though. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior May 25, 12:57

DL: Quick intern, issue a press release on a hot new WB project! JJ Abrams producing a live-action Apple TV reboot of SPEED RACER JJ Abrams May 25, 11:13

Just the idea of a JJ Abrams Speed Racer makes my brain crash. {nm} DTravel May 25, 14:04

Hot Wheels... Speed Racer... I'm detecting a trend. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior May 25, 14:26

ELVIS is about to premiere at Cannes today, expect XX minute standing ovations and OMGWTFLOLBBQ's shortly after. notfabio May 25, 10:52

THR: Zaslav is putting pressure on JJ Abrams to deliver on his 250 million DiscoWB deal and may start killing his projects if he doesn't. notfabio May 25, 10:32

Mostly focuses on his HBO Max projects, of which the only thing he's delivered is some scripts for Constantine and Madame X per sources. {nm} notfabio May 25, 10:33

i mean . . . he's probably not wrong about many of these moves but it doesn't bode well for attracting genuine talent in the future {nm} raccacoonie May 25, 10:42

(Kira Snyder, the Demimonde showrunner, is cool and sucks that she's getting squeezed between the two sides) {nm} raccacoonie May 25, 10:43

THR: JJ Abrams and Bad Robot producing Speed Racer series for Apple, not WB/HBO Antibody May 25, 11:13

WBTV is still producing, just the risk gets put on Apple TV if this is another bomb. {nm} notfabio May 25, 11:18

DL: John Francis Daley's long in the can (like it was pimped when McWeeny was at AICN) Star Wars comedy 5-25-77 picked up for distribution. notfabio May 25, 10:17

Did this ever have a stock? The dashes makes it hard to search for it {nm} TheWeekendWarrior May 25, 10:18

Don't think so, it was called 77 for a bit, but the dead delisted stock for that is for an unrelated film. {nm} notfabio May 25, 10:37

this post reminds me . . . i've actually seen this! (he screened a cut at the Fine Arts several years back. it's . . . a labor of love) {nm} raccacoonie May 25, 10:24

It will get a theatrical release of some kind but its distributor hasn't reported US box office as far as I can tell. It screened in 2017! {nm} notfabio May 25, 10:27

DL: IMAX CEO states the obvious, Hollywood films are going to continue to struggle to get Chinese releases at least the rest of this year. notfabio May 25, 09:31

V: TOPG2 $85 million to $100 million 3 day, Monday as high as $130 million. BOBSB $10 million to $15 million f Antibody May 25, 07:28

TCRUI not big in India? Jatinder not tracking TOPG2. {nm} Antibody May 25, 07:49

My predictions: TOPG2 $95m (4-day), Bob's Burgers, I think I put $13.2m (4-day) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior May 25, 09:52

Shame that Fire Island isn't getting a theatrical release. Plays like gangbusters and would have done great in select cities. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior May 24, 18:45
