DL: FATHOM EVENTS rebrands as FATHOM ENTERTAINMENT (to reflect special engagement film bookings) $34+ million for the Coraline Re-Release. notfabio Dec 17, 12:50

32+ million for The Chosen S4 release (in total) 17 million for THE BLIND. {nm} notfabio Dec 17, 12:51

DL: High 50's for SONIC3 low 50's for MUFASA some go higher for SONIC3 (which has 7 million in advance sales, and SONIC3 has more) notfabio Dec 17, 12:45

From what I have heard SONIC3 was doing 3x the relative advance sales of WONKA but of course it's a direct sequel {nm} notfabio Dec 17, 12:46

Sony lowball. "rivals even believe there’s a greater gap between the two well north of $10M." So 70+ Antibody Dec 17, 13:03

It's a very oddly written piece like they are trying to mask the numbers. (I'm not sure if Paramount deliberately lowballs #'s? ) {nm} notfabio Dec 17, 14:02

But that said, also definitely think they are lowballing here. {nm} notfabio Dec 17, 14:02

Wicked in its third weekend was only like $4m behind Moana 2 in its secocnd {nm} frank hardballer Dec 17, 14:02

OR under $40m for Mufasa. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 17, 17:14

Oscars: 10 shortlist categories for the 97th Academy Awards budice Dec 17, 11:13

India, whose submission process is highly political, got it wrong again and didnt even make the short list. Somewhat surprising FURIOSA Moviesnob Dec 17, 11:55

The no. of movies getting nominated from a different (co-producing) country seems to increase every year Tallwonder Dec 17, 22:00

Yup. It's a shame that Jacques Audiard has to make a film in Spanish and English to win an Oscar. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 18, 05:36

Bob Persichetti to direct [ASPD3] with Justin K. Thompson returning Antibody Dec 17, 09:49

Wonder did the deal was with Sneider. Will he get a different scoop? Antibody Dec 17, 09:52

I have a feeling that's why he was so pissy last night. lost the scoop to DL {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 17, 13:00

He could still have posted, so he was either threatened or promised something. Antibody Dec 17, 13:05

First trailer for Karate Kid: Legends [KKID2] Antibody Dec 17, 06:11

I generally won't watch trailers unless ithey're in front of movies but will I have to watch Kobra Kai before this? TheWeekendWarrior Dec 17, 06:37

There aren't any Cobra Kai references in the trailer. {nm} Jay_Bling Dec 17, 07:53

I have to imagine they want to connect everything but not depend on knowledge of Cobra Kai. Jay_Bling Dec 17, 08:25

There will probably be easter egg stuff and maybe some cameos. The Cobra Kai guys did give script notes but don't think will be credited. {nm} notfabio Dec 17, 09:03

That I know of no one else in CK has even hinted or commented about Legends but they may be trying to keep things underwraps {nm} notfabio Dec 17, 09:05

First trailer for Black Bag [BLCBG] Antibody Dec 17, 06:05

Looks very much like The Agency. {nm} Antibody Dec 17, 06:05

<HOME ALONE running the house like a maniac screaming emoji> {nm} Moviesnob Dec 17, 10:58

I hope this is better than Presecence. That was disappointing. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 17, 06:13

I dug it but anyone going in thinking its a normal haunted house movie is going to be annoyed <SPOLIER INSIDE> Moviesnob Dec 17, 10:52

I like having Brosnan rthere, but is Rege-Jean once again playing the type of spy agency jerk he played in The Gray Man? tealfan Dec 17, 12:12

it's refreshing to watch a trailer that doesn't show the end of the movie Rishoutfield Dec 17, 14:14

Possibly Interesting: A Complete Unknown and Fire Inside get Tuesday previews next week, Nosferatu and Babygirl do not TheWeekendWarrior Dec 17, 05:57

In an interesting note: Mufasa previews start at 2pm on Thursday while Sonic 3 previews only start at 5pm. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 17, 06:06

GMA: BBC Studios and Walt Disney Studios are teaming up to bring “Bluey” film in movie theaters in 2027 Antibody Dec 17, 05:51

Am hoping my friend's youngest will still be into Bluey in two years so I won't have to go on my own and be "that creepy old guy" {nm} milligan Dec 17, 16:52

Sony firing Lord and/or Miller to stop the delays? {nm} frank hardballer Dec 16, 23:31

I dunno... not sure they want to ruin what has been a lucrative relationship. TheWeekendWarrior Dec 17, 00:30

Homestead had 7:00p early previews today at select theaters, and has full day of showings starting on Wednesday, Dec 18th WorkinMan Dec 16, 20:07

Correction: meant 5 day OW, not 6 day {nm} WorkinMan Dec 16, 20:10

Definitely opening on Wednesday here, too. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 17, 00:32

Actually, it still wouldn't be a 5 or 6-day for the OW derivative. But in theory, it would halt on Weds if that's when it goes wide. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 17, 00:50

Tonight's Regal MMM is The Fire Inside... I skipped it to stay in and get some writing and other watching done. TheWeekendWarrior Dec 16, 16:48

This is classic single-point analysis but both Nosferatu and A Complete Unknown are pretty much sold out at the theater near me TheWeekendWarrior Dec 16, 16:28

Nosferatu pre-sales look good for Christmas Day here in Western WA (Greater Seattle/Everett/Tacoma/Olympia). WorkinMan Dec 16, 17:39

That week is gone be huge. Those two plus wickana and Mufonic, I think it’ll be one of the stronger 12/25-1/1 frames {nm} MattW Dec 16, 19:42

I'm wondering if either will perform like The Color Purple last year. Huge Christmas Day, but not much after that. TheWeekendWarrior Dec 17, 00:51

I doubt to the same degree as color purple but yeah, nosferatu more likely of the pair. MattW Dec 17, 04:24

Subtitle: "Until we figure out how to do a prequel ala Mufasa so that we can make more money" {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 17, 05:14

DL: 28 YEARS LATER is the #2nd most watched horror trailer ever, 28 Days Later will be available on digital 12/18 due to fan demand notfabio Dec 16, 10:04

I was wondering if Sony got the rights to the older 28... films as well, I guess they did? Or did they always have them? {nm} notfabio Dec 16, 10:04

Fox was the original distributor {nm} Moviesnob Dec 16, 10:16

Ok, it had been so long I thought I might have been misrembering. {nm} notfabio Dec 16, 11:50

So Who Saw What Last Week? {nm} tealfan Dec 16, 07:56

Godzilla x Kong (F) Everything about this was terrible. Acting, script/story, effects. Easily the worst movie I've seen all year.... Initech Dec 16, 08:12

September 5 (B -- didn't quite live up to the festival hype but pretty good); Munich (B+) {nm} frank hardballer Dec 16, 08:16

Yeah; I'm thinking it's a great time to go revisit Munich with Sept 5 coming. {nm} Goodvibe61 Dec 16, 09:44

for whatever reason, i skipped it back in the day. solid later Spielberg stuff (tho that final montage might have been a bit much) {nm} frank hardballer Dec 16, 10:18

I liked the ending; they agree to disagree and walk away; pretty thought provoking to me. {nm} Goodvibe61 Dec 16, 11:38
