GDT says FRANKENSTEIN is getting a theatrical expansion "soon" (most likely AMC Theatres) notfabio Oct 17, 10:23

Would presume Wake Up Dead Man will also get a boost from what was planned. {nm} notfabio Oct 17, 10:23

Cowards {nm} Moviesnob Oct 17, 10:47

AMC is in pretty bad shape (even by AMC standards) and out of shares and unlikely to get shareholder authorization for more shares. notfabio Oct 17, 11:59

I know. You're right and I don't have a good solution at this point outside of systemic change Moviesnob Oct 17, 12:58

But we did this to ourselves asd it sucks {nm} Moviesnob Oct 17, 12:58

Netflix also used to promise "No ads ever." At some point money left on the table is money you could just not leave on the table {nm} mr teriffic Oct 17, 11:34

Wonder if they'll save the widest release for Halloween weekend, going up against KPOP Demon Hunters TheWeekendWarrior Oct 18, 04:18

DL: BPHO2 $2.6M Antibody Oct 17, 07:39

GDFRT $725K {nm} Antibody Oct 17, 07:49

Oh man. That's a shame. It's got mostly great reviews. {nm} milligan Oct 17, 12:14

I really liked it. I bet it will get at least a B+ CinemaScore {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 17, 12:37

Here's hoping it has wheels and just keeps going. {nm} milligan Oct 17, 19:10

TCRUI and ADARM relationship not going Deeper. Antibody Oct 16, 19:48

That explains all the texts I'm getting from ADARM. {nm} Abraxas Oct 16, 21:13

You too? Thruple? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 17, 05:09

For ADARM, I might just consider that. {nm} Abraxas Oct 17, 13:46

Sucks for Tom when they don't even want to do *one* processing session {nm} Noah66 Oct 17, 06:27

Was not very impressed by HAMNT, but I did enjoy Bugonia. PT Anderson is gonna coast to his Oscar wins ala Nolan for Oppenheimer. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 16, 19:41

Was it at least "very good"? So: don't believe the hype? Jessie Buckley? Yes, No, Maybe? {nm} goodvibe61 Oct 17, 00:31

She could win but it's a lot of overacting in my opinion. Like Moonlight, it's all about the last 20 minutes... which is basically Hamlet. TheWeekendWarrior Oct 17, 05:11

Looking forward to finding out. I'm a pretty big Hamlet guy; interesting to see what they've done; I haven't read the book.....yet. {nm} goodvibe61 Oct 17, 07:48

I haven't read the book either... I prefer Kenneth Branagh's Shakespeare movie from a few years back. TheWeekendWarrior Oct 18, 04:17

Is there a shot for Coogler and Sinners to make it interesting? {nm} Paul2k Oct 17, 07:41

I liked BULGONIA but my issue is it's exactly beat for beat the same movie as SAVE THE GREEN PLANET {nm} Moviesnob Oct 17, 09:54

Was it? I saw that and reviewed it 20 years ago but there was very little felt or looked familiar to me. Been due for a rewatch. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 18, 04:16

Trailer for Merrily We Roll Along [MWRAL] Antibody Oct 16, 15:36

Definite Oscar nomination! {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 16, 09:35

Hmm, "magical negro" trope Antibody Oct 16, 09:49

I thought he was AAPI... pick a lane, Dwayne! {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 16, 10:49

Vertical has taken North American rights to Atropia [ATROP] {nm} Antibody Oct 16, 09:22

I really liked this out of Sundance... I seemed to have been one of the few who did. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 16, 09:35

First trailer for Primate [PRIMT] (a major studio made this?!) Antibody Oct 16, 07:26

From Walter Hamada who just got extended. Antibody Oct 16, 07:32

Zack Stentz: WB spent $130 million to make "One Battle After Another" because of streaming war Peterlee Oct 16, 05:22

streamers paying big stars full freight for even non-commercial films means the legacy studios have to shell out $$$ to compete. Peterlee Oct 16, 05:23

Good for WB and cinephiles to support auteurs. Otherwise, we'll be stuck with just IPs like MINEC and DCU. {nm} Antibody Oct 16, 07:41

but also as Zach notes, those things hitting big lessens the blow on projects like PTA's {nm} mr teriffic Oct 16, 08:27

I'm just saying WB is making IPs anyways, but they don't need to give $100M for original ideas. {nm} Antibody Oct 16, 08:50

V preview: BPHO2 $23 to $29 million, Sony lowball $18 million; GDFRT $6 to $8 million Antibody Oct 15, 19:38

I decided to go lower on BPHO2 myself... and only slightly higher on GDFRT which Lionsgate made impossible to see. TheWeekendWarrior Oct 16, 05:48

GDFRT has a surprising good 85% from 42 reviews. Better than BPHO2 and FRNST Antibody Oct 16, 07:48

I'm seeing it in 30 minutes and most NY film critics who didn't go to TIFF are going to have to see it today TheWeekendWarrior Oct 16, 10:52

It's really good.. no idea why Lionsgate decided to hide it from NY critics. Silly studio. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 16, 13:48
