THR: LAST DUEL post-mortem, only 2% of its audience was 17 or younger, only 17% 18-24. 80% 25+ notfabio Oct 18, 09:38

Its good, but it felt so looooooooooooong.................. Went with my 18 year old he didnt liked it all. Gogreenytd Oct 18, 09:57

Maybe the film just isn't good enough. At least Disney seems to think so; they don't put too big effort to promote the film. {nm} Peterlee Oct 18, 10:07

In Hong Kong, the film's marketing campaign is also almost non-existent. (on the other hand, "Free Guy" had big campaign in Hong Kong) {nm} Peterlee Oct 18, 10:11

‘Airplane!’ Director David Zucker Decries Cancel Culture, Claims It’s Stifling Comedy Peterlee (from past) Oct 18, 08:53

nobody's stopping David from making something funny except David {nm} cake boss! Oct 18, 09:37

Yeah, 2013 wasn't exactly the apex of cancel culture, but it was when Netflix started to be taken seriously (HOUSE OF CARDS) {nm} notfabio Oct 18, 09:46

(Last feature length film, SCARY MOVIE 5 - 2013) {nm} notfabio Oct 18, 09:46

And his last directing film was "An American Carol" (2008, Bush's era) {nm} Peterlee Oct 18, 09:57

It doesn't help that the "Date/Epic Movie/Disaster Movie" run of spoof films razed the parody genre notfabio Oct 18, 10:08

some comedy directors also focus on making serious dramas at older ages, like Todd Phillips, Jay Roach and Adam McKay {nm} Peterlee Oct 18, 10:23

V: Disney moves [DRST2] to 5/6/22, [THOR4] to 7/8/22, [BPNT2] to 11/11/22, [INDI5] to 6/30/23, [CMAR2] to 2/17/23, [ANTM3] to 7/28/23 Antibody Oct 18, 08:32

INDI5 pushed back a year, ANTM3 is the biggest Marvel pushback at 5 months TheWeekendWarrior Oct 18, 08:34

DRST3 is only pushed back like 5 weeks? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 18, 08:34

I mean, DRST2 obvs {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 18, 08:35

They clearly didn't want to give up that summer opening slot of 2023 for Guardians though. TheWeekendWarrior Oct 18, 08:36

It's pretty closely tied to the Holiday Special for 2022. {nm} notfabio Oct 18, 08:38

It'll be interesting to see who takes that March date since Disney didn't move something to take its place. notfabio Oct 18, 08:46

Also notable, AVATAR and STAR WARS projects, so far, stay where they are. {nm} notfabio Oct 18, 09:04

I feel like INDI5's move was almost inevitable... I'm not sure James Cameron even had to stop due to COVID. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 18, 09:08

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what reason besides that move is behind it all. Maybe hopes China will OK Marvel again by then? notfabio Oct 18, 09:17

VENOM did great but Bond and HALLOWEEN KILLS came in well under their previous entry {nm} Moviesnob Oct 18, 09:25

Bond was disappointing, but Halloween Kills? $50 mil for a horror movie also streaming? Sounds about right to me. Esp with the over/under {nm} gowanna Oct 18, 20:30

Also, why is everything down? Every week farther out should be good news. More time to recover (n/m) {nm} gowanna Oct 18, 20:31

Disney stock is down almost 3% on the news, I'm sure it's not a reason but funny timing after THE BATMAN/BLACK ADAM reveals Saturday. {nm} notfabio Oct 18, 09:19

now over 3% heading towards 4%. Should be a rebound for Disney+ Day/Investor Day. {nm} notfabio Oct 18, 09:40

Netflix datas leak again: “Squid Game” generated $891.1 million in impact value Peterlee Oct 17, 00:20

Looks like Netflix is going to fire another staff... (Netflix had fired a trans staff for leaking internal metrics to the press.) Peterlee Oct 17, 00:24

hopefully they'll figure it out that their heavy handed approach is whats driving people to leak data {nm} Moviesnob Oct 17, 08:16

Sample thread from C. Robert Cargill writer on most of Scott Derrickson's films (aka Massawyrm from AICN) notfabio Oct 16, 20:27

DL: Just ran a new story that briefly covers the mixed feelings on it. notfabio Oct 16, 20:51

at the very least, if it's ratified certainly seems it won't be close to the 99% who authorized to strike. which isn't great for leadership {nm} cake boss! Oct 16, 20:54

Yeah agree. Matt Reeves is a good director. This looks good. Great cast. {nm} ad48 Oct 16, 14:10

I'm not sure I necessarily need something more grounded than the Nolan ovies but I'm keeping an open mind. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 16, 14:11
