Smurfs tickets are on sale... just go easy on Fandango and the ticket sites today... {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 23, 06:33

Tonights Secret Movie reported as Jurassic World: Rebirth (AMC, Cinemark, Regal) {nm} budice Jun 23, 06:10

Yup, seeing it again tonight...but it precedes the main press screening and the junket screening... TheWeekendWarrior Jun 23, 06:34

Variety: Majority of 200 exhib execs think non-Premium traditional exhibition has less than 20 years left, distrib execs is 60% notfabio Jun 22, 21:21

[I.e only large format, etc will survive] {nm} notfabio Jun 22, 21:22

but that's no more sustainable standing alone, given the supply, than traditional exhibition {nm} spaghetti freddy Jun 22, 22:56

Well, at least most people's eyes are wide open {nm} Moviesnob Jun 22, 21:49

Are you trying to give Tom Cruise another idea for a legacy sequel even though Kubnrick is dead? TheWeekendWarrior Jun 23, 07:02

its a remake with Cruz and Bardem {nm} Moviesnob Jun 23, 13:23

Will be interesting to see how the big exhibs try to manage it, they refocused on smaller complexes even before COVID. {nm} notfabio Jun 23, 09:20

dynamic pricing but for the percentage split with the studios? (give a little back on PLF runs to get a better cut from everything else) {nm} spaghetti freddy Jun 23, 11:14

if its IMAX, there's a three way split with IMAX getting 10% of GROSS from the distributor so their margins are already thin as it is {nm} Moviesnob Jun 23, 13:16

I think we've seen the current strategy. Charge more for premium experiences so add more PLF/DBOX/Dolby, etc. Alamo charges a premium on a Moviesnob Jun 23, 13:15

SR: Bruckheimer says *multiple* past PIRATES cast members will return in the next Pirates of the Caribbean film. notfabio Jun 22, 20:06

Don't know where Keira Knightly's head is at on it, but Orlando Bloom has given recent interviews that he wants to come back. notfabio Jun 22, 20:08

His career's in the drain & he really can't act anymore. He'll do anything for it but it'll sink the franchise if they use him. Tallwonder Jun 23, 08:02

Yeah, no one gives a flying BLEEP about Orlando Bloom or his Pirates character TheWeekendWarrior Jun 23, 13:41

Save Arclight: Allegedly Decurion is looking for a tenant to take over the Arclight Hollywood Multiplex (could be good news, could be bad) notfabio Jun 22, 13:55

if thats true, they will have no problem finding one from the usual suspects {nm} Moviesnob Jun 22, 14:00

other than Alamo i can't think of a particularly good steward (they were installing new HVAC somewhere at the complex this weekend) {nm} spaghetti freddy Jun 22, 14:21

well, and Tarantino at least for the Dome {nm} spaghetti freddy Jun 22, 14:22

they kicked the tires on it during the pandemic {nm} Moviesnob Jun 22, 16:47

Trey Parker and Matt Stone, maybe? {nm} ndmaster Jun 22, 17:52

It would be nice if someone like Scorsese stepped up with a few other directors and set up a foundation (401k) to take it over {nm} milligan Jun 22, 19:57

Add 100 and swap "k" with "c"? {nm} Abraxas Jun 22, 20:10

Sorry am a tired, stressed out Canadian. Meant non-profit. {nm} milligan Jun 23, 07:16

Kevin Smith will be doing his usual Hall H panel at SDCC (typically the official list pops up after 4th of July) notfabio Jun 22, 13:04

DL: BRIDH $932K behind the Indian film Kuberra $1.75M Antibody Jun 22, 08:23

28YLT $30m estimate from Sony, $60m worldwide {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 22, 07:52

TN: HTTYD $37M -56%, MTRLS $5,815,506 -52% Antibody Jun 22, 07:32

Looks like we're getting a no-legs summer... and the next four or five weeks won't help {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 22, 07:41

ELIO $21M {nm} Antibody Jun 22, 08:20

As someone pointed out on X, TN never changed the Materialists estimate to actual which was $11.33 TheWeekendWarrior Jun 22, 09:45

I never understand why A24 can give such a precise estimate on Sunday but can't provide the actual until Tuesday. {nm} Antibody Jun 22, 10:06

Yeah, it's weird.. .and they also don't report Monday through Thursday a lot. TheWeekendWarrior Jun 22, 10:53

ECBO: PRJHM trailer also with JURA7 Antibody Jun 21, 19:36

Screening for A New Animated Film From an Oscar-winning director! Antibody Jun 21, 18:52

That seems like a narrow focus group (8-12 yo). Also, they need to warn true fans at least 8 years and 9 months ahead of time. . .{nm} Abraxas Jun 21, 19:34

likely ZOOT2. nm Antibody Jun 21, 19:44

Nah, it's Bong Joon Ho's next movie {nm} RupertPupkin Jun 21, 21:38

Whoa. nm Antibody Jun 22, 06:12

Baby Parasite? Tallwonder Jun 22, 07:41

Baby Okja might work :) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 22, 09:43

DL: BRIDH $360K yesterday Antibody Jun 21, 10:19

TheWrap: TRON3 heading to Hall H at SDCC notfabio Jun 21, 09:59

today's disney ipo, when and why was it $300? dennkenn Jun 21, 09:37

It was originally going to be something else {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 21, 09:48

Incredibles 3 maybe {nm} MattW Jun 21, 09:56

Yup.. that was it. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 21, 10:17

whelp to original films {nm} Moviesnob Jun 21, 10:23

BOR: 28 Years Later $14.0M Antibody Jun 21, 08:02

ELIO $9.0M Antibody Jun 21, 08:26

Hope Domee Shi gets another feature. They sent her first film straight to D+, then gave her the thankless task of saving ELIO. {nm} Antibody Jun 21, 08:52

She gets a "Directed by" credit as soon as the film ends... meanwhile, the director who originated the project... TheWeekendWarrior Jun 21, 09:09

Some kind of contract clause I would think. DTravel Jun 21, 11:55

Oh I'm sure... but it's weird. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 21, 20:37

well, that's too bad...even alien animation "Home" had a better opening...had a starrier cast though {nm} tealfan Jun 21, 11:20

Sony confirms $14 million Friday.. they're projecting "$30-31 million" {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 21, 08:01

The presale box office trackers were all fooled by the Juneteenth frontloading. {nm} Antibody Jun 21, 08:24

I certainly was. I was expecting it to be closer to $40m... but I didn't know previews started at noon. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 21, 08:37

Same. Didn't realize until earlier this week that it was Noon Previews. {nm} JayPrimetown Jun 21, 10:53

CinemaSCores: 28YLT B (toldja!) , ELIO A, BRIDH B- (surprised it reported with such a low theater count) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 21, 06:16

CS threshold is 1,500 theaters. BRIDH was originally planned for "about 2000" RupertPupkin Jun 21, 07:31

"IT BEGINS" No other title. Antibody Jun 20, 19:23

DL: BRIDH on 1,165 screens. Antibody Jun 20, 15:50

Bride Soft then {nm} budice Jun 20, 16:00
