Magnolia will be releasing [ASSMT] in theaters on March 21 TheWeekendWarrior Feb 05, 08:03

V preview: “Love Hurts” and Heart Eyes” are each targeting single-digit debuts of $7 million to $8 million. Antibody Feb 05, 06:58

That's a shame since at least one of them is good... but the trades/tracking underestimated Flight Risk and Den of Thieves 2, too {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 05, 07:07

Then again... major Super Bowl on Sunday (a rematch!) so both are frontloaded for sure. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 05, 07:08

IMO "targeting" is code for studio provided so may be lowball. Antibody Feb 05, 07:33

Would lean towards more upside on Heart Eyes, Love Hurts is definitely being dumped {nm} notfabio Feb 05, 08:33

Maybe.. .but Universal did well with Nobody and Monkey Man, so...,. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 05, 08:34

CR: CO-PRODUCTION (not actual production) has begun on the live-action Gundam movie will be released in theatres worldwide notfabio Feb 05, 05:59

Note this is basically just saying Bandai is co-financing (no longer Netflix) the joint company to produce opens April 1st {nm} notfabio Feb 05, 06:00

Netflix was already out when Mickle was announced as director. {nm} Antibody Feb 05, 06:08

First trailer for [JURA7] Antibody Feb 05, 05:57

Feels like Stephen Sommers directed this, very jokey/silly {nm} notfabio Feb 05, 06:09

I guess they were going for Godzilla x Kong tone? May work for them but jarring vs every other JP trailer notfabio Feb 05, 06:15

New Rancor mutant dinosaur apparently notfabio Feb 05, 06:20

Basically the same premise as JURASSIC PARK 2 & 3 which is exactly as you say, limiting Moviesnob Feb 05, 10:18

I'm looking forward to this since I loved Gareth's The Creator and David Koepp is back tealfan Feb 05, 12:08

ECBO: ! The Looney Toons movie The Day the Earth Blew up moving to March 14th. [DTEBU] Antibody Feb 04, 21:27

Well that's a totally pointless move. Did Ketchup just forget they had to start promoting it now? {nm} nfred659 Feb 05, 04:39

Yeah, it might double its box office prospects... to about half where it's currently priced. TheWeekendWarrior Feb 05, 05:38

No need to release before the Oscars since it wasn't nominated, I guess. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 05, 08:08

It was still not a bad date, had good distance from all other kids competition. Now it's a week before Snow White {nm} nfred659 Feb 05, 09:11

the classic Jaws dilemma. after one perfect monster movie there's no real reason for sequels to exist uncle michelle Feb 05, 11:29

the JAWS 2 novel is really good! But shares very little with the movie {nm} Moviesnob Feb 05, 12:16

JJ: KKID2 spoilerish reshoot Antibody Feb 04, 20:27

Gladiator II $150M Blockbuster W (GLAD2.BW) Feb. 10, 2025 delist missing. HighLightDark Feb 04, 19:30

SPC: Brand new TV spot of "I'm Still Here", expands to 'nationwide' on Friday Peterlee Feb 04, 15:04

Sources tell Variety the “Fab 5” will happen in the director’s category and for some of the artisans awards, instead of acting Antibody Feb 04, 14:42

IW: KSG will likely not attend the SAG Awards, BAFTAs, or the Oscars. If she did, she would be persona non grata. Antibody Feb 04, 13:18

Netflix should have hired me a consultant to handle spin PR. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 04, 13:49

V: Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick’s ‘A Simple Favor’ Sequel Gets Official Title and Sets SXSW Opening Night Premiere [ASFA2] Godfather41 Feb 04, 12:16

will debut on Amazon Prime Video on May 1. Antibody Feb 04, 12:44

Figured with the "soon" time frame. {nm} notfabio Feb 04, 14:26

Well, I know one person that won't be doing press for this. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 04, 13:47

Paul Feig hates questions about Lady Ghostbusters! {nm} notfabio Feb 04, 14:27

But yes, if they don't settle by April, Blake Lively will probably just do some event appearances with no questions. {nm} notfabio Feb 04, 14:30

is good-to-great horror always a blindspot to this community? pro-satoshi Feb 04, 10:53

Longlegs and Nosferatu both did better than I expected ... but I loved Nosferatu. Saw it three times! TheWeekendWarrior Feb 04, 11:00

A lot of online box office predictions / movie hype is based on pedigree. nfred659 Feb 04, 11:29

Terrifier 2 only did $11m at the box office, so there wasn't a whole lot of reason to bank on a breakout for the third movie. {nm} nfred659 Feb 04, 11:31

Re Nosferatu, I think people were hoping it would be a hit but just didn't want to be disappointed {nm} nfred659 Feb 04, 11:33

Eggers previous highest grossing film was just $34 million {nm} nfred659 Feb 04, 11:36

Yeah, but there was definitely a visible cultural imapact through merchandising suggesting 3 would be bigger pro-satoshi Feb 04, 11:47

Yet TWLFM underperformed. nm Antibody Feb 04, 12:58

Good to great? Quality and sales are vividly unrelated with respect to horror films [nm] SenJohnBlutarsky Feb 04, 14:18

genre audiences want good movies like any other audience Moviesnob Feb 04, 14:46

I do think some folks on this board struggle with trailers, especially horror trailer, because they aren't the target demo {nm} Moviesnob Feb 04, 14:47

We sense horror audience just wants to get out of the house for a few hours and will endure almost any level of quality (or lack of quality) SenJohnBlutarsky Feb 04, 20:18

That line of thinking is frankly reductive and more fit for Omegas {nm} Moviesnob Feb 05, 09:03

Horror fans not only will attend lousy movies but also will be attracted to them. It's a shambling genre with a downscale audience SenJohnBlutarsky Feb 05, 15:42

Try not to use this site to self-promote but I'm offering another free edition of the Weekend Warrior with my box office thoughts TheWeekendWarrior Feb 04, 09:24

thank you Ed daveart Feb 04, 11:15

Another Sundance sale! [HUJAR] goes to Janus/Sideshow Films! Don't see it on the trades yet. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 04, 09:13

Variety: A sequel to Road House is in early development per Lukas Gage notfabio Feb 04, 07:26

nope. no thanks {nm} budice Feb 04, 09:01

I liked Doug Liman's remake even after I finally went back and watched the overrated Patrick Swayze movie. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 04, 09:39

I thought it was pretty solid, but definitely a direct to streaming film, would at best do low-mid tier Jason Statham movie #'s theatrically {nm} notfabio Feb 04, 10:53

Liked it more than Beekeeper for what it's worth, but would be surprised if it would have done that well. {nm} notfabio Feb 04, 10:54

on that...his next, A Working Man, looks like they've refined, elevated and utterly perfected the Jason Statham movie. pro-satoshi Feb 04, 10:58

I actually got to see the Amazon Roadhouse in a theater, just like You're Cordially Invited TheWeekendWarrior Feb 04, 11:01

V: “Eddington” could be in contention for Cannes debut with A24 targeting a summer release. Antibody Feb 04, 06:14

Ari Aster reteaming with Joaquin Phoenix? Now, *I* am afraid! {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 04, 08:38

First trailer for [FANF2] Antibody Feb 04, 05:52

Looks good. Love to finally see Kirby's "The Thing" on screen. 1.5 million views in an hour. {nm} El_Queso_Blanco Feb 04, 05:59

I thought you were referring to Vanessa Kirby before I realized you were referring to Jack Kirby. lol {nm} Jay_Bling Feb 04, 07:44

it's all connected! tealfan Feb 04, 12:14

Does anyone know the actual budget? {nm} RamsFan2004 Feb 04, 08:39

Good choice to go retro. {nm} milligan Feb 04, 10:13

Looks half cartoon. DTravel Feb 04, 18:23
