Movies

Prime may have sprung ads on their full-price subscribers, but at least ads are only at the beginning (of movies)...unlike Max every 20 min! {nm} tealfan Mar 19, 22:06

There is also normally a 1 or 2 minute ad mid-way through the movie or show on Prime as well as in the beginning. {nm} CButera Mar 20, 11:58

I guess it depends on the movie...Twisters last night had the ads only at the beginning {nm} tealfan Mar 20, 13:13

Good to know that Twisters doesn't have that ad in the middle. I may have to watch that tonight. {nm} CButera Mar 20, 13:26

Yes Prime has ads midway thru movies {nm} RamsFan2004 Mar 20, 14:22

at the beginning of some movies (like Twisters) you get a message saying "This movie is brought to you uninterrupted after these messages." {nm} tealfan Mar 20, 18:59

Susan Sarandon as an evil Mary Parker Rishoutfield Mar 19, 18:56

A little aged, no? {nm} ndmaster Mar 19, 19:35

Great... I already get those two confused -- Sarah Snook and Sadie Sink. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 19, 20:30

I'll make it worse by adding Sophie Turner...lol tealfan Mar 21, 09:40

Sneider called the first of those months ago. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 19, 20:32

Not a good sign for Bride and pretty iffy on Flowervale Street, Flowervale wrapped June 2024 and yes, Dinosaurs, but JW4 wrapped Sept 2024 {nm} notfabio Mar 19, 20:46

That's smart.. an Eastern weekend where the only family competition is Sneaks {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 19, 14:42

Hatsune Miku fans are mostly adults. {nm} Antibody Mar 19, 15:23

Only in body. In spirit they're teeth-gnashing booty-shaking bank-robbing baby-Unicorns! Tallwonder Mar 19, 18:47

DL: HOLY FRACKBURGERS, Ketchup is in negotiations to buy theatrical rights to COYOTE VS ACME for $50 million notfabio Mar 19, 09:59

2026 release (I guess gives them time to put together a full fledged marketing team) {nm} notfabio Mar 19, 10:00

With what money? Do they also sell actual ketchup? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 19, 10:12

Empire City repeated some pretty out there rumors on Hypnotic, but even DL is "we don't know where Ketchup is getting the money" {nm} notfabio Mar 19, 10:22

Would be interesting to see how selling it at a $20 million loss is more beneficial for WB that claiming it all as a loss. notfabio Mar 19, 10:25

There's always ways to raise money. The better question is how sustainable they are since they've had nothing but loses with their releases Moviesnob Mar 19, 11:40

anything to get it out of the Zaslav trash can. partner up with Village Roadshow {nm} uncle michelle Mar 19, 11:56

They filed for bankruptcy 3 days back (with you on the Zaslav bit) Tallwonder Mar 19, 12:27

If this goes through everyone's gonna lose money on this Tallwonder Mar 19, 12:32

I could see someone playing up the "see the movie Hollywood didn't want you to see" angle if they got a savvy marketing team {nm} notfabio Mar 19, 12:40

That works for something like Terrifier, but unsure if that would be too inside Hollywood for a PG family film. {nm} notfabio Mar 19, 12:42

Outside of hardcore fandoms, Entertainment mags & HSX how many know/care what's happened? Tallwonder Mar 19, 12:54

Oh with it going to Ketchup, 100% it will be see we told you so unless everyone rallies around it. Ryan Reynolds/Taylor Swift/you name it. {nm} notfabio Mar 19, 13:16

lol {nm} RamsFan2004 Mar 19, 13:45

DL: Ketchup Entertainment is negotiating an all-rights acquisition of [CVACM] {nm} Antibody Mar 19, 13:31

Oh, all-rights for $50m makes much more sense. They can sell of international distribution and make back a good chunk of that righta way {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 19, 20:33

If Netflix is hoping to transition MBB into a big-time non-child star they should consider giving her better scripts {nm} Noah66 Mar 19, 07:30

That early embargo drop that let tons of negative reviews build up didn't help. {nm} notfabio Mar 19, 08:57

Do we know what the budget was? Did Netflix say? {nm} RamsFan2004 Mar 19, 09:13

320M {nm} Godfather41 Mar 19, 09:19

Higher than I thought. I was guessing 200M. {nm} RamsFan2004 Mar 19, 09:20

Was around that, COVID era production cost overruns are a big chunk {nm} notfabio Mar 19, 09:34
