DL: GATHR is knocking off the Angel Studios model, promises to be more transparent about its Pay It Forward ticket purchasing. notfabio Jun 13, 11:55

That said, seems like a marketing ploy more than anything. {nm} notfabio Jun 13, 11:56

Gather's been around for awhile now {nm} Moviesnob Jun 13, 12:28

Yeah, I think they are just trying to get some buzz with saying they can do it better than Angel Studios and with a wider array of films {nm} notfabio Jun 13, 14:14

Angel Studios cant even make it work except for one title {nm} Moviesnob Jun 13, 14:37

Yeah that's true, I don't see any of their announced titles except DAVID possibly doing better than 20+ domestic. {nm} notfabio Jun 13, 14:41

I remember LOVING being at Comic-Con when there was a big movie released... fun going to the theater in that mall to see stuff with fans. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 13, 02:38

Though the choices were better when it took place over 4th of July... that's where/when I saw Independence Day. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 13, 02:38

Sadly I think regular movie theatres within walking distance of SDCC are shuttered now. Now mostly 15+ minute drives. :( {nm} notfabio Jun 13, 09:12

Wow.. yeah it's crazy but I haven't been there since 2015, I think. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 13, 12:33

IT'S ALL CONNECTED MAN, I'M TELLING YOU! COVID-1948! ;) {nm} notfabio Jun 12, 12:32

Nothing. I'm referring to the demise of Alamo leading to its sale. {nm} terraformingearth Jun 12, 12:49

Same here, don't think would have worked theatrically, but definitely above average for a streamer title (since it was planned as theatrical {nm} notfabio Jun 12, 14:08

Totally single point analysis, but usually when the lines are long at a packed NYC press screening... TheWeekendWarrior Jun 11, 18:41

It's also really good... one of the better Pixar sequels, after maybe Toy Story 3. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 11, 18:51
