THR: Owen Wilson Rejoins ‘Meet the Parents 4’ [MPRN4] Jun 20, 13:23
Shawn is lowballing M3gan and Jurassic World, but going big on F1 and Superman Jun 20, 09:24
Also saying under $30m on both Bad Guys 2 and the Naked Gun for August. {nm} Jun 20, 09:25
New trailer for The Toxic Avenger [TOXAV] Jun 20, 09:05
Play that in a strip club on Sunset, with Harmony Korine doing a dj set after, and you got my $400. Jun 20, 10:46
Memento Amori {nm} Jun 20, 08:48
Rumors are swirling that JURA7 may be the Monday Mystery Movie at Regal Jun 20, 08:17
That doesn't make sense for Universal. M3GA2 needs the WOM more than JURA7. {nm} Jun 20, 08:24
That's exactly what I thought. I mean, I'd be fine with either (missing the M3gan press screening on Tuesday) Jun 20, 08:53
Guess they need to pad the opening since there's no traditional previews. {nm} Jun 20, 09:16
Ah, so it's opening right on Weds July 2? I guess that's semi-normal. Don't think Super Mario Bros had previews. {nm} Jun 20, 09:23
They are doing 12:01am's just like MARIO did. {nm} Jun 20, 10:17
V: ELIO $3 million Jun 20, 08:12
Better but still under $30m for the weekend, I'd guess/project. {nm} Jun 20, 08:15
Official 28YLT preview # from Sony: $5.8 million (shows started at noon!) {nm} Jun 20, 08:02
Does Anthony feel like a tool being used by Sony to say presales are similar to films opening under $25M? {nm} Jun 20, 08:07
I get the impression this might be a "B" or lower CinemaScore for 28YLT. {nm} Jun 20, 08:14
For me it is a solid B+ or A {nm} Jun 20, 08:47
TN: MUBI will release The Mastermind (Limited) on October 17, 2025. [MSTMN] Jun 20, 07:43
DL: ’28 Years Later’ $5M+, ‘Elio’ $2.5M-$3M Previews Jun 19, 23:01
I'm missing Deadline's point. Does "28 Years Later" not fall solidly into the horror genre!? {nm} Jun 19, 23:33
Yeah, it's a confusing point as usual for Anthony. Also... Jun 20, 04:32
Also doesn't mention that yesterday was Juneteenth so people were off work and could go to earlier previews of 28 Years Later Jun 20, 05:40
As far as the OWs, based on those numbers, my Gut Check is short on both though Elio could be a push {nm} Jun 20, 05:40
Does look likely that 28 Years Later can be #1 though, and that'll make Sony happier. {nm} Jun 20, 05:41
via Belloni: JB26 in talks with Edward Berger, Denis Villeneuve, Edgar Wright Jonathan Nolan & Paul King. Cuaron out. Jun 19, 22:06
Presumably Jonathan Nolan would be writing for his brother. {nm} Jun 19, 22:07
Jonathan is a director too {nm} Jun 20, 05:41
Yeah... 7 episodes of television...no way MGM would give Bond to a first time feature director. {nm} Jun 20, 05:44
He's been a showrunner twice. If you dont think he's in consideration then you should talk to Belloni. Jun 20, 06:19
This will probably go to Paul King. He's worked with producer David Heyman before, similar to Cuaron. {nm} Jun 20, 07:12
A showrunner is more of a writer-producer than a director. {nm} Jun 20, 07:20
used to be fairly true. then the Hyphenates came for Prestige TV and the Suits said "It is good" {nm} Jun 20, 10:59
Don't see how DVILL can start JB26 earlier than CNOLA. {nm} Jun 19, 22:22
Maybe he can convince Warners to delay Dune Messiah.. doesn't it take place a long time after the original Dune book? {nm} Jun 20, 05:36
Yes but they way they are casting it means they are adapting other books too Jun 20, 05:40
in my head: "Hey Chris! I'll trade you Dune:Messiah for JB26." 😁 {nm} Jun 20, 08:56
If Aaron Pierre will be Bond, they should get Steve McQueen {nm} Jun 20, 05:45
But out of that bunch I'd prefer Berger or Wright... anyone named "Ed" basicallyi :) {nm} Jun 20, 05:45
Paul King is the one mention that is really odd {nm} Jun 20, 06:22
I thought the opposite because as mentioned above, he's worked with Heyman quite a bit already. {nm} Jun 20, 07:12
SISU2 is titled Sisu: Vengeance Jun 19, 21:20
Just like ICER2... these action heroes really need to try to hug things out. {nm} Jun 20, 07:37
CB: First Look at Tom & Jerry: Forbidden Compass, which is just for the Chinese market. So no TMJR2 in Dec 2025. Jun 19, 19:50
Hopefully some of the Shaw Brothers martial arts films are included. {nm} Jun 19, 21:48
TN: This week, we see how movies that underperform get slaughtered in theater counts Jun 19, 19:18
In an alternative universe, CNOLA directed TROY rather than Batman Begins, because BvsS stalled and WB gave TROY to WPETE. Jun 19, 12:03
so ODYSE would have been the sequel. World's Finest woulda had CFARR as Batmans and JLAW as Superman. {nm} Jun 19, 12:08
EW spoke to JGUNN and he mentioned that SGROC is "still moving forward" Jun 19, 11:21
Also talks about TBAT2: "People should get off Matt's nuts" LOL! Jun 19, 11:22
DL: [SUPRM] tracking with $125M-$145M outlook on NRG. Distribution sources $90M-$125M Jun 19, 09:41
That's one of the most poorly-written articles about tracking that I've ever seen. Anthony should be embarrassed. Jun 19, 10:30
Sounds like WB told him to lower expectations. {nm} Jun 19, 10:58
I'm sure that's the case, but not what I'm talking about. I meant his "analysis" and how he used the data someone slipped him. Jun 19, 11:05
Yes, he's trying to make it fit the narrative that WB wants and doing it poorly. Jun 19, 11:18
It is still amusing to me how bad he is at this after covering box office/tracking for so long (nm) Jun 19, 11:28
THR: Yep, insiders at DC Studios and Warners are being more conservative in suggesting $90 million to $125 million Jun 19, 11:01
Actually it’s gonna be $128,681,485 {nm} Jun 19, 11:20
Tracking is really $135M yet social media is going with WB's $90M. Mission lower expectation accomplished. nm Jun 19, 11:40
Da Wrap says $10m in presales already banked {nm} Jun 19, 13:25
Wondering what level domestic is considered a fail or bomb Jun 19, 18:39
Hahaha Look who making money!!!!!!!! Selling losers hahahahaha Jul 08, 22:38
HAHAHAHA To all the morons that sold hahahahaha Jul 11, 23:48
Reminder today is JUNETEENTH and so likely Elio especially is going to have a stronger Thursday vs full weekend . {nm} Jun 19, 08:02
Are schools out today? The only difference this makes is possibly earlier afternoon screenings doing slightly better. {nm} Jun 19, 09:36
School's out for summer! {nm} Jun 19, 09:39
School's ... Out ... ForEVER! -- A.Cooper Jun 19, 09:54
Right.. that's the whole point of Pixar always grabbing that mid-June date... sorry, notfabio. Your logic doesn't fly :) {nm} Jun 19, 09:56
Yeah, it does...at least some % of parents have the day off to take them to a Thursday preview, no? {nm} Jun 19, 11:28
[REMAN] has started production... Jun 18, 22:38
V: Disney schedules a fourth Marvel film for 2028 Jun 18, 18:50
