The Illuminerdi: The Acolyte production pushed all the way back to October 2022 from Summer until May 2023. notfabio Apr 21, 17:58

That production timetable is basically what Mandalorian's time-table is, so either it's their December 2023 title, or Spring/Summer 2024. {nm} notfabio Apr 21, 18:03

What may complicate things is Disney still has Rogue Squadron or whatever is going to take its place for December 2023. {nm} notfabio Apr 21, 18:06

BSL: SHAZAM 2 was the other DC film going into reshoots in a week or two besides BLACK ADAM. Supposed to be minor. notfabio Apr 21, 17:37

Which presumably will add Dwayne Johnson in some small capacity to tease Shazam vs Black Adam. {nm} notfabio Apr 21, 17:38

DL: TURNING RED is dropping off faster than other Disney titles, week #1 (3 days) 1701 week #2 (full week) 1675 week #3 977 million minutes notfabio Apr 21, 17:28

Jorge R. Gutierrez may or may not be sarcastic discussing how things are going with Netflix Feature Film Animation. notfabio Apr 21, 13:35

Variety: Paramount & Sony Victory Lap piece on their success with exclusive theatrical releases lately notfabio Apr 21, 11:33

Haven't read this yet but to be fair, both Sony and Paramount were some of the major studios who sold their movies to streamers... TheWeekendWarrior Apr 21, 11:39

Yeah everyones hands are a bit dirty, but A QUIET PLACE II was pivotal (and partly why AMC went to $70 last year) as well as VENOM 2/SPID8 {nm} notfabio Apr 21, 11:47

Some short window/day and date titles on the flip side were important still, GVSK's success right as LA re-opened was key for tentpoles. notfabio Apr 21, 11:56

DL: Adil El Arbi, Bilall Fallah's (Bad Boys 4 Life) film REBEL added to the Cannes Midnight Screenings notfabio Apr 21, 11:21

Sounds like press is going to see 20 minutes of Dr. Strange 2 (might also be shown at CinemaCon) for OMGWTFLOLBBQ purposes. notfabio Apr 21, 10:41

No press is supposed to see the film in full until the Monday, May 2nd to coincide with the Hollywood Premiere. {nm} notfabio Apr 21, 10:43

No, it's really for junket/interview purposes... but yeah, I wouldn't do interviews without seeing a whole movie. TheWeekendWarrior Apr 21, 10:47

/FILM: James Brolin voices Zurg who is a giant robot (and not an Emperor) in LIGHTYEAR. notfabio Apr 21, 10:40

Elvis, Bullet Train, Nope, Downton Abbey Dos round out the Top 10 besides the usual suspects (Dr2#1, JW3 #3, TopGun2 #4, Minions #5, LY #6) {nm} notfabio Apr 21, 10:01

The only caution flag raised would be DC LEAGUE OF SUPER PETS not making it it, but women buy more online tickets, likely responded. notfabio Apr 21, 10:13

anyone know if this survey includes a short description or it's just title recognition? {nm} tealfan Apr 21, 10:43

That sort of thing always affects tracking.. which may be why "tracking is low" on all of this week's movies. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Apr 21, 10:46

I've seen a couple of surveys from Fandango and it has been a mix, I would expect its director and main cast at least. notfabio Apr 21, 11:01

thanks for the insights {nm} tealfan Apr 21, 11:53

Cosmic Circus: Laura Donnelly is playing Elsa Bloodstone (kind of a female Blade) not Vampire By Night in Werewolf By Night. notfabio Apr 21, 09:53

Could be setup for a MCU Midnight Sons/Legion of Monsters or a mix of the two. {nm} notfabio Apr 21, 09:55

Midnight Son... I bought three copies of those books to keep two copies bagged... what a waste of effin' money. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Apr 21, 10:16

To the moon someday! {nm} notfabio Apr 21, 10:19

Well, no, cause I sold my entire collection three years ago and probably got a % of pennies on the dollar for all of them. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Apr 21, 11:02

Gizmodo: LIGHTYEAR was pitched as Andy from Toy Story's "Star Wars" and that the toy in Toy Story is the Animated TV series spin-off toy. notfabio Apr 21, 09:47

Sooo many hoops to jump through! {nm} notfabio Apr 21, 09:48

Looks like they also took the lid off of Lightyear licensed toys today, The Funko Pop online at Amazon. notfabio Apr 21, 09:50

which implies that a George Lucas who invented the Pixarverse version of Pixar exists in the Pixarverse {nm} raccacoonie Apr 21, 10:24

That's getting too meta even for me. {nm} DTravel Apr 21, 12:53
