DL: Jon Watts explains Wolfs 2 cancellation... “Apple Didn’t Cancel…I Did, Because I No Longer Trusted Them As A Creative Partner” RamsFan2004 Nov 23, 13:57

Refreshingly candid, guess Sony has dibs on whatever he hasn't already committed to going forward. {nm} notfabio Nov 23, 14:13

What's his deal with Sony? {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 23, 14:26

I think he means Disney where his production company has a first look deal {nm} Moviesnob Nov 23, 16:39

A little of both! If he means what he says, he may lean towards theatrical first studios, usually this is one bump and then all is forgiven {nm} notfabio Nov 23, 20:49

So not really expecting him to hold a career long grudge against Apple, etc... {nm} notfabio Nov 23, 20:50

Variety is reporting a 13M estimate for Red One's second weekend. So from 32.1M last weekend to 13M, around 60% drop. Could've been worse... {nm} goodvibe61 Nov 23, 10:04

TB: BNHFR $2,642,007 Antibody Nov 23, 08:57

That seems good enough for a $6-7 million opening weekend... check out the stock price. ;) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 23, 09:30

TROCK said he just wrapped MOAN1. So most it was shot on stage and only outside last week. Antibody Nov 23, 08:10

Post production for a year and half. {nm} Antibody Nov 23, 08:11

Gladiator 2 made $22 million on Friday according to Paramount, who thinks it can make $60m from that? ookya. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 23, 08:01

i do - saw it yesterday (thought a sequel would be forced, but it wasn't - well shot/acted - 9/10), and it was all older demographic {nm} journey Nov 23, 08:21

Has nothing to do with the quality. The math just doesn't add up. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 23, 08:52

16+22+15.5 is $54m weekend + $6.5m previews = $60m. Mayn't happen but is quite possible. Tallwonder Nov 23, 10:05

BOR: GLAD2 $22.0M Antibody Nov 23, 08:00

WICKD $46.74M Antibody Nov 23, 08:00

CinemaScores: Wicked/Bonhoeffer A, Gladiator II B (toldja!) TheWeekendWarrior Nov 23, 06:31

Account suspended. X suspends accounts which violate the X Rules Antibody Nov 23, 07:00

It's the beginning of the end for X. Can't even imagine what CinemaScore would have posted in violation. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 23, 07:26

APPRENTICE, THE (2024) -> B- {nm} Abraxas Nov 23, 10:11

W: Idris Elba is in early talks to play Man-at-Arms in “Masters of the Universe,” [HEMAN] Antibody Nov 22, 19:13

THR: Feinberg declares that every major contender has now screened. Anora, Brutalist, Conclave, Emilia Perez, Sept 5, Wicked his top BP notfabio Nov 22, 18:08

I mentioned this to WW this week, but if WICKED doesn't get significant BP noms, telecast ratings will be disasterous {nm} notfabio Nov 22, 18:10

cant disagree but its also filed with stuff that the libertarians/alt right hates (witchcraft, institutional oppression & Moviesnob Nov 22, 19:10

but from a populist standpoint, they should auto nominate DUNE 2, DEADPOOL 2 and INSIDE OUT 2 {nm} Moviesnob Nov 22, 19:17

DEADPOOL 3, sorry {nm} Moviesnob Nov 22, 19:18

DUNE2 yes, DEAD2 and INOU2 for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Film {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 19:19

Nevermind, I forgot it got negged. {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 19:21

Oh, I was thinking of the Oscar fan favorite award, won by Army of the Dead. {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 19:23

for best picture {nm} Moviesnob Nov 22, 19:24

DUNE2 deserves it for artistis reasons, not just populist {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 19:26

Oscars are not and have never been a measure of quality {nm} Moviesnob Nov 22, 19:29

Bite your tongue! The King's Speech is cinema, dammit! {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 23, 05:56

SNOW WHITE TRAILER LEAKED Antibody Nov 22, 16:06

Definitely feels to me they made a late in the game change to make it more classical Snow White story vs the rumors otherwise. {nm} notfabio Nov 22, 18:02

ATUDY is voicing Clayface in Creature Commandoes, which he's likely playing him in SUPRM and a solo movie written by Mike Flanagan Antibody Nov 22, 15:48

THR: there was hope that TBAT2 could shoot sometime next year... but nothing is close to being planned. Antibody Nov 22, 15:41

THR is going with the same projections, their article is still time stamped 7am in the morning at the moment but I'm sure is updated since. notfabio Nov 22, 14:01

DL's way too early projections: Wicked $48.5m Friday, projecting $120m weekend; Gladiator $23.5m Friday, projecting $61m TheWeekendWarrior Nov 22, 13:47

BNHFR $2.4M Friday / $4.8M weekend (same link as above) {nm} Oleg_Max Nov 22, 14:19

Speaking of CCXP: Ballerina and The Gorge will have talent. They don't seen to have a list of panels yet. (12-5 to 12-8) notfabio Nov 22, 12:46

Alan Ritchson is listed as CINEMA so not sure what film if he is there for that, REACHER S3 would seem to be the obvious reason he is there. {nm} notfabio Nov 22, 12:47

Director Tim Miller is there for "something" Giancarlo Esposito is "probably" there for Captain America {nm} notfabio Nov 22, 12:50

But Anthony Mackie isn't on the attendee list. {nm} notfabio Nov 22, 12:51

There is definitely something Sonic The Hedgehog 3 there. Neal Moritz is coming maybe for Sonic 3 maybe for more than that. {nm} notfabio Nov 22, 12:54

Grace Randolph says press gets the SUPERMAN trailer on Monday December 9th (so no CCXP if true) notfabio Nov 22, 12:35

Claremont Courier: Pretty candid interview with Greg Laemmle on their struggling theatre in Claremont, CA notfabio Nov 22, 11:47

it's frustrating that it's easier to protest and complain than it is to actually go to a theater and support it financially. Moviesnob Nov 22, 13:20

and of all the things that people want for their theater its not great programming or respectful audience behavior or good customer service Moviesnob Nov 22, 13:22

That & presumably a good share of Laemmle locations' business was so tied to ultra-frequent moviegoers, who are now A-List/Unlimited people. dsbman Nov 22, 14:43

its this and more (notfabio observations below too) but if people are gonna complain to the theater owner about not staying in biz then you Moviesnob Nov 22, 16:10

tangentially, it seemed the Oscar hopeful films really rebounded well last year but so far, that has not been the case for the 2024 batch Moviesnob Nov 22, 16:17

I have been to this theatre I about 3 times. It's a cute theatre in a cute college town but was outdated when it opened brand new. notfabio Nov 22, 15:11
