Christopher Nolan's Average Shot Length is nearly as bad as Michael Bay Jul 26, 09:13
Sir I will not just sit here and allow you to disparage Michael Bay {nm} Jul 26, 11:07
Michael Bay is the best there is at what he does. {nm} Jul 26, 12:40
Truer words were never spoken. {nm} Jul 27, 03:52
IMAX reels only give you 3 minutes of filming time, so that's a problem {nm} Jul 26, 14:58
Isn't that why (most) people have gone digital? Jul 26, 20:40
Digital is much cheaper but film looks better so I assume film is a director's first choice but the producer can't afford it Jul 27, 02:15
There are some directors that grew up on digital and prefer it. {nm} Jul 27, 03:53
most filmmakers prefer digital {nm} Jul 27, 09:39
It’s way easier too {nm} Jul 27, 16:23
It's like the debate between analog/digital in the recording world in the '90s... Jul 27, 06:08
Emily Wilson (who did the translation Nolan primarily relied upon) issues scathing takedown or London Review of Books Jul 27, 10:41
counting pre-sales through week 5 {nm} Jul 26, 08:11
how many PLF screens is it gonna lose to Spidey Bravr New World next weekend? i assume "a lot"? {nm} Jul 26, 09:06
You shoot on imax cameras you get at least a three week run {nm} Jul 26, 11:01
I'd think that The Odyssey will perform better than Spidey would in the IMAX anyway; better than ANY movie. {nm} Jul 26, 22:37
for sure, but Disney will be demanding the other PLF screens {nm} Jul 27, 07:54
TN: Hadestown $9.693m Jul 26, 07:21
BOR: Motor City $1.63m Jul 26, 07:23
HERPH $530k {nm} Jul 26, 07:37
The Odyssey $87,000,000 -30% {nm} Jul 26, 07:55
Is HDSTW only a 5 day release? {see link} Jul 26, 09:25
It's supposed to be, but they've extended runs before. {nm} Jul 26, 09:49
I found tix on sale for Wed, Thu, Fri and Sat. Jul 26, 09:50
Well, there ya go {nm} Jul 26, 13:33
ECBO is an HSX OG: SPID9 "from ancient sources saying that the opening weekend very well could be $312.5m." Jul 25, 19:04
312.5 was a trader's prediction for SPIDR's opening weekend, which then a running joke. Jul 25, 19:09
i thought it was someone's theoretical maximum opening adjust, like the sound barrier that could never be broken {nm} Jul 25, 20:10
Maybe I misremember, but 312 would've been a 107 opening weekend, which SPIDR exceeded in 2002. {nm} Jul 25, 20:37
This could help - limp inside 😉 Jul 25, 23:30
^link inside {nm} Jul 25, 23:32
Freudian slip much? Haha {nm} Jul 27, 15:00
IIRC, and I may not because it's been decades... Jul 25, 21:02
I think XMEN was within the first one or two months when I started playing. {nm} Jul 26, 14:59
There was still chatter about it when Endgame opened, so could be right. {nm} Jul 25, 21:33
There seem to be a lot of bonds attached to AVNG5 that have not been made official yet. Jul 25, 18:44
KNEWT was announced. HJOHN with the Thunderbolts in this shot Jul 25, 18:47
Ah, I missed Ghost... but wasn't sure she was still around for reasons explained in Thunderbolts/New Avengers {nm} Jul 25, 19:01
HJOHN at SDCC Jul 25, 19:01
Oh! There she is! Did they roll out the entire cast? {nm} Jul 25, 19:02
Yea, JRENN is probably out. {nm} Jul 25, 18:48
Marvel: Black Panther 3, only in theaters December 15, 2028. [BPNT3] Jul 25, 18:37

poor Damson Idris {nm} Jul 25, 18:44
He would have been good, too. {nm} Jul 25, 18:44
DWASH didn't show afterall. {nm} Jul 25, 18:58
Seems like it was just two announcements and SPID9 and AVNG5 footage? It's over, right? {nm} Jul 25, 19:04
RCOOG confirmed to return as director Jul 25, 23:50
Marvel: Ryan Gosling joins the MCU in Marvel Studios' Ghost Rider, directed by Shawn Levy. Only in theaters 2028. Jul 25, 18:08
DRPK scooped it 5 hours ago Jul 25, 18:13
i guess that means Disney doesn't think they totally **** the bed on Starfighter then {nm} Jul 25, 18:41
There's been chatter for months that Disney is really happy with STARFIGHTER when they were *dead* silent on Mando. {nm} Jul 26, 10:19
Everyone that saw stuff from it raved about it {nm} Jul 27, 16:24
May 5 or July 28. (XMEN8 likely the other) {nm} Jul 25, 18:59
Matchbox The Movie is juat another streaming algorithm product Jul 25, 17:52

He says "you won't see it until you buy a ticket to see it in a theater" Jul 25, 10:43
BOR: ODYSE $25.94M on Friday Jul 25, 07:46
Last night, both Jatinder and ECBO estimated an $85m+ 2nd w/e based off of $25.5m. Now even better Jul 25, 07:53
Unofficially, Hadestown: The Musical grossed an estimated $4.0M Jul 25, 09:22
DL: MTRCT $850K on Friday; HERPH $270K on Friday Jul 25, 09:22
At least half that Friday for MTRCT must have come from MMMs. {nm} Jul 25, 09:29
amazing… $450M is in play for cash out Jul 25, 09:45
40% (maybe slightly higher) I think is reasonable for first week of Spiderman, but I'd guess it holds better after that. Jul 25, 11:01
Indeed it did. I had cash out at $461, because I think it will do a bit better as well. {nm} Jul 25, 12:25
I LOVED the movie, i was awestruck by it, and i love the box office story. It's fantastic in every way. {nm} Jul 25, 14:46
Didn't see this posted but CHuck Russell, director of The Mask, The Blob and so many great movies is dead at 74 Jul 25, 07:40
He was directing an AI/live action movie for Higgsfield no idea if he finished that or not {nm} Jul 25, 09:15
NYP: Emma Stone filming TCATC at CIti Fields Jul 25, 07:36
From what I've read, XMEN8 cast will probably be announced tonight... {nm} Jul 25, 07:24
DRPK dsays SSINK is not at SDCC Jul 25, 08:12
Maybe she isn't Jean Grey :) {nm} Jul 25, 09:12
Doesn't make sense after hiding her all this time that Marvel is going to spoil SPID9 just ahead of release. {nm} Jul 25, 08:29
Oh, wait... Denzel would be there for BPNT3... for some reason I thought he was rumored to play Magneto. {nm} Jul 25, 11:31
THR: Star Wars Detours episodes will be able to be screened at the Lucas Museum Jul 25, 05:17

ECBO going over SPID8: SpiderManMovie Brand New Day is increasingly looking like a $300m+ domestic opening. Jul 24, 22:01
"Also heard the film is the best one yet. Take it with a grain of salt." Jul 25, 05:44
Jat: Looks like $25.5M 2nd FRI for #TheOdyssey. 2nd weekend expected to be $85M+, potentially close to $90M. Jul 24, 22:00
Same from ECBO Jul 24, 22:00
