Collider: Acolyte was planned for 3 seasons (and a movie seems like Manny Jacinto wishing) notfabio Dec 31, 13:07

Pretty amazing that we're ending the year with two more $400m+ blockbusters, making it four movies to make more than that amount. TheWeekendWarrior Dec 31, 12:44

Would someone establish a holiday GoFundMe account for Antibody? Delta House would do it, but look what happened when DDay and I tried to SenJohnBlutarsky Dec 31, 11:44

I know there was one setup during COVID not sure if that one is still active (Moviesnob?) {nm} notfabio Dec 31, 12:29

I believe lobogotti set up that one - I dug up the link, but I don't know whether it's still being managed? {nm} TFeeney Dec 31, 13:56

I'd donate once I get another job, but I'm not doing well financially right now (except on HSX, of course) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 31, 12:38

Delta Tau Chi will throw in a few on your behalf, Weekend Warrior. {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Dec 31, 18:27

Thanks! I get a job and I totally will donate. I owe so much to HSX. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 31, 18:50

I'd support it Rishoutfield Dec 31, 12:38

I'd find a couple bucks. milligan Jan 01, 05:06

Too early to wish everyone a Happy New Year? Hope not... HAPPY NEW YEAR! {nm} cmbastos Dec 31, 06:18

It's always New Year's somewhere :) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 31, 06:43

Air Force 22nd Amendment {nm} frank hardballer Dec 30, 21:02

He's crashed a plane/copter about 5-6 times since the late 90s, hope they let someone else pilot. Tallwonder Dec 31, 01:20

HORZN began streaming on Netflix today Antibody Dec 30, 16:02

And still no sign of Chapter 2. I guess WBD are hoping that the movie will be popular enough on streaming to warrant a theatrical release {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 16:33

Then again, there have been so many Warners date changes in the last couple days, no mention of HOrizon yet {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 16:33

or popular enough for Netflix to buy HORZ2. {nm} Antibody Dec 30, 16:37

Who knows? Maybe they'll even fund the last two chapters. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 16:46

Both Jordan Ruimy and Jeff Sneider seem to think this will be the scenario. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 20:12

it has been on max for a couple of months dennkenn Dec 31, 10:19

Just saw FLOW; I must say, THAT's why i go to the movies! Now that's a film! I'm just gobsmacked by this! goodvibe61 Dec 30, 15:29

Nice, did you see it with a good audience? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 16:33

Good mix of some adults and families. The adults just loved it. You could tell everyone was pretty blown away. {nm} goodvibe61 Dec 30, 19:07

Those 4 animated films are all good... if you're into stop motion, have you seen Memoir of a Snail? Definitely a little quirkier. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 16:34

Haven't seen Snail yet, but I want to. {nm} goodvibe61 Dec 30, 19:06

TN: Although both Sonic and Mufasa were overestimated, Sonic still won the weekend... but only by $200k TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 14:43

I am really interested in Monday's numbers sneak Dec 30, 17:26

PTA's next joint punted to 2026 by Warners? frank hardballer Dec 30, 13:52

What I take from it - its a $130m film & its stock's at $36 Tallwonder Dec 30, 13:58

And? PTA's biggest grosser was $40M. If budget guarantee box office. KRAVN would be $100M+. Antibody Dec 30, 14:50

Thats usually the case pre an Indie director going mainstream Tallwonder Dec 30, 17:41

And(?) - There Will Be Blood made $40m on a $25m Budget !!! Tallwonder Dec 30, 17:43

That really isn't that great when you consider that the studio only gets ~55% of that, which would be $22 million. TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 17:48

I'm well aware Budget needn't translate into BO, was commenting on the sheer difference in scale Tallwonder Dec 30, 17:51

Late August is a strange release date for it, unless Warner is expecting it to do as well as Tarantino films do there. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 14:07

Speaking of Tarantion, I was just wondering. If TMOVC doesn't happen, will that stock just be turned into whatever he does next? TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 14:08

No, not unless the script contains elements of TMOVC. Antibody Dec 30, 15:02

Sneider: Not sure I'm buying this... Antibody Dec 30, 15:49

I'm surprised WB is back in the PTA business at all... didn't they distribute Inherent Vice? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 16:47

Ankler: Drew McWeeny decided to do a Ankler Podcast on his time with AICN. Haven't listened to it yet. notfabio Dec 30, 11:24

Not sure I will, but I hope he doesn't throw Harry under the bus because he owes his entire career to Harry. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 13:14

That wouldn't be cool {nm} RamsFan2004 Dec 30, 13:33

Jason Momoa to play LOBO in [SUPGR] Antibody Dec 30, 09:52

no link, but have heard the full Authority team debuts in this one, in some capacity pro-satoshi Dec 30, 10:30

Well, in theory might get a LOBO solo film...in 2028-2030 :) Presuming the Gunnverse is still a thing at that point. {nm} notfabio Dec 30, 11:22

TN: HARBI did report $63,555 in box office from its two L.A. theaters, did better than Vermiglo and Santosh (both Oscar shortlisted) TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 09:35

I barely got through 20 minutes though will try to watch the rest tonight. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 09:37

Well, I'm glad I decided to give it another shot when I was less tried...this is pretty fantastic actually. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 17:27

Los Frikis reported as well. Antibody Dec 30, 09:41

Great for AARJO! (The Latina Scarjo?) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 09:44

Since I love when we just talk about movies here, I'm sharing my Top 25(ish) for 2024... enjoy! TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 07:32

So glad to see your #1C on there. Almost unseen by most except doc lovers like me, it seems. {nm} milligan Dec 30, 07:41

I think more people have been able to see Super/Man now that it's on Max, but I was pretty upset by how poorly theatrical was handled TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 08:01

And I'd been hearing about Flow for months from Moviesnob and that did NOT disappoint. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 08:03

It was honestly my favourite doc since I first saw Wordplay. {nm} milligan Dec 30, 09:56

I really need to rewatch Wordplay beacuse I've become a huge crossword puzzle fan in the last five years {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 12:56

Actually rewatching it now, and well-timed since Will Shortz has just returned after being off for months due to his stroke. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 18:41

I didn't even realize. One of the worst parts of my antidepressant ****tail is not having a brain that can do a crossword anymore. {nm} milligan Dec 30, 21:32

Nice list, thanks for sharing. I have Flow in my top 3 of the year and hope it wins the Oscar. {nm} Movie Cub Dec 30, 11:48

I somehow forgot to include September 5, which definitely is in my Top 10, but I added it in now. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 13:15

Disney calling Mufasa: The Lion King is now the #1 movie in America Antibody Dec 29, 17:43

Maybe it's doing better on Sunday than projected. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 29, 19:03

The community note on that tweet is hilarious... RamsFan2004 Dec 29, 20:22

I've just been noticing those things...maybe that's a sign of X getting better? TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 06:00

Been around for awhile, amusingly Elon gets community noted pretty frequently. Sonic Fanboys are not to be messed with. {nm} notfabio Dec 30, 08:20

Bloomberg: The Chronicles of Narnia (NARN4) - Netflix is targeting a December 2026 release Rocket Dec 29, 10:00

Old news tagged in Oct. Antibody Dec 29, 10:07

In Oct, they said "one plan" was Thanksgiving 2026. This article (that Bloomberg and others call a scoop) is a "target" of Dec 2026. Rocket Dec 29, 10:18

Any movie they consider as Awards bait will be part of their Nov-Dec release calendar Tallwonder Dec 29, 10:34

It'll be on Netflix in Dec, which is the same thing. Antibody Dec 29, 11:17

KNIV2 was also in theaters Thanksgiving, Netflix in Dec. nm Antibody Dec 29, 11:20

I wonder if Rian can get Knives Out 3 done in time to release this November or if they'll try to stay away from Wicked. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 29, 11:34

Wait, is there no stock for Knives Out 3 and even though Knives Out 2 reported box office and used it for cash out... TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 07:16

Hm... I'm vaguely remembering the controversy re KNIV2. I think I shorted it because bonds were detached but it delisted at H$13.3 anyway {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 30, 07:20

TN: KRAVN $1.7m week 3 / $21.388 total; LOTR4 only $455k week 3 / $8.59m total tomcat90 Dec 29, 08:23

And Paramount can be overestimating Sonic 3 again to keep the top spot {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 29, 08:59

So will Disney or Paramount report first and get topped by the other? ;) {nm} Antibody Dec 29, 07:44
