Searchlight: KINDS OF KINDNESS. In select theaters June 21st, kind of everywhere June 28th. Antibody Jun 10, 11:05

Kinda-HSX wide! Maybe! {nm} notfabio Jun 10, 11:20

They should just go wide on the 21st... too many movies on the 28th TheWeekendWarrior Jun 10, 11:23

DL: Yep, there was data cherry picking on that first 24 hours, THE ACOLYTE's 5 day (11.1) was not as strong as AHSOKA (14 million) notfabio Jun 10, 10:58

That said, pretty good considering this had no established Star Wars characters. {nm} notfabio Jun 10, 10:59

Oh, can I watch this without having watched any of the other shows? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 10, 11:39

Yep. It's helpful to have watched the prequel films at least but no previous series ties otherwise (for now) {nm} notfabio Jun 10, 11:53

set 100 years before the prequels but . . . doesn't really feel 100-years different from any of the other SW series set contemporaneous with wow platinum Jun 10, 11:56

Yeah that's an ongoing thing with these 100's 1000's of years before Star Wars prequels, they feel too close in technology/etc. notfabio Jun 10, 12:00

Star Wars is really "fantasy" not Sci-Fi. There won't be any dark ages pre-light speed travel. {nm} Antibody Jun 10, 12:21

Not sure if they plan to incorporate Yoda or Darth Plagueis, there are High Republic book references, but I've never read any of them. {nm} notfabio Jun 10, 11:57

Vernestra is a main character in the books and comics. {nm} Antibody Jun 10, 12:26

Variety: Netflix wants its own Reacher I guess. Yahya Abdul Mateen II will takeover John Creasy for a Man On Fire Netflix TV Series notfabio Jun 10, 10:56

My Time To Shine: Heard a rumor that THE BATMAN PART II and THE BATMAN PART III will shoot back to back. notfabio Jun 10, 10:53

They are having a hard time filling that R-rated movie musical in Irvine on Thursday. $20 gift card bribes now offered. notfabio Jun 10, 10:47

WBTV posted this clip from THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP A LOONEY TUNES MOVIE but the description says "hillarious return to the big screen" notfabio Jun 10, 10:29

Theatrical release in Germany is August 1st. So possibly a theatrical dump release August/September here. {nm} notfabio Jun 10, 10:31

The Annecy presentation is tomorrow, so likely this clip got uploaded early by mistake. {nm} notfabio Jun 10, 10:32

THR: Sneak Peek [DTEBU] set to hit theaters domestically later this year Antibody Jun 10, 10:57

APPLE's 2024 Hype Reel including Films/TV (I think it might be the first footage from INSTIGATORS?) notfabio Jun 10, 10:15

So Who Saw What Last Week?...Hit Man (A) {nm} tealfan Jun 10, 09:33

Mostly Tribeca stuff (which I'm writing about) but I also saw this heist film called Topkapi yesterday and that was a B+. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 10, 09:40

there's also a great Frank Miller doc hitting Cinemark theaters tonight, which I thought was fantastic.. solid A! {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 10, 09:40

Star Wars Kill Bill aka The Acolyte: [B?] - spoiler fiesta inside for those who dare! MASSIVE SPOILERS. notfabio Jun 10, 10:00

Under Paris (B or D depending on mood), Hit Man (B+), Let the Canary Sing (B+), Jim Henson: Idea Man (A), Godzilla Minus One (A) {nm} gsquared Jun 10, 10:44

Acolyte first two eps (C+ i guess. maybe it gets more compelling as the mystery unfolds. also that cold open was a real choice) {nm} wow platinum Jun 10, 10:47

Variety: Ok who is the one person on the planet that asked for this? PRACTICAL MAGIC 2 with Nicole Kidman & Sandra Bullock in the works. notfabio Jun 10, 09:21

"I heard the kids loved Hocus Pocus 2, what can we sequelize?" (That said a rebootquel of The Craft...surprised that hasn't happened) {nm} notfabio Jun 10, 09:23

2026 will be the 30th (anniversary, so old), I expect a premiere invite if it happens Hollywood! notfabio Jun 10, 09:24

It did, The Craft Legacy in 2020 with Fairuza Balk and Cailee Spaeny {nm} austpow Jun 10, 10:08

Ah, lost to the depths of COVID.... {nm} notfabio Jun 10, 10:09

Same person that asked for Weekend At Bernie's 2? & 3? {nm} terraformingearth Jun 10, 09:40

wait, they pretended Bernie was alive for two more movies?!? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 10, 11:51

RJOHN: DCRAI on the set of “Wake Up Dead Man” Antibody Jun 10, 07:30

Amazon "AIR" will air on free TV channel (ABC) on 12 Jun. Peterlee Jun 10, 07:14

very short free TV window for a wide release theatrical film.... Peterlee Jun 10, 07:16

correction. it will air on 11 Jun (not 12 Jun) Peterlee Jun 10, 07:18

Well, now I know TV Guide still exists {nm} terraformingearth Jun 10, 09:06

Fandom.com bought a lot of brands from Viacom/CBS/others in 2022. notfabio Jun 10, 09:33

New trailer for [KALKI] Antibody Jun 10, 07:14

Erik Davis at Fandango: #InsideOut2 has now surpassed #InsideOut in advance tix sales at @Fandango , highest Pixar pre-seller since TOYS4 TheWeekendWarrior Jun 10, 06:40

I thought the sky fell and the theater business was dead. Antibody Jun 10, 07:02

Nah.. well just need to pivot and readjust, not to panic (as we all did during COVID) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 10, 07:10

it had been for Pixar after Disney dumped the string of features straight to Plus for two years {nm} wow platinum Jun 10, 07:34

Gonna go out on a limb and say ELMNT word-of-mouth got them back on track, even if it wasn't a humongous hit {nm} nfred659 Jun 10, 09:50

Jatinder: BadBoys. Very strong SUN hold. Ends the weekend with $57M. Antibody Jun 09, 21:00

Belloni Podcast with Piedmont Research that claims it has a predictive model that can accurately project box office of concept/cast notfabio Jun 09, 09:45

This is what Sneider was ranting about. {nm} Jay_Beezy Jun 09, 09:51

TNL HAIKY, IAVNT, Ezra, Babes all dropped more than 70% Antibody Jun 09, 08:28

IF is gonna pass $100M next weekend. $8.0M/$93.5M Antibody Jun 09, 07:44

Frankly, I was shocked it didn't open higher. Now I am surprised it is passing 100. Good for IF. Rocket Jun 09, 08:01

Bad Boys $56m weekend {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 09, 07:25

5.8 in previews. So a 4 day cume for a 3 day count. OW descriptions should all be amended to note Thurs to Sun if Thurs is preview. Rocket Jun 09, 07:38

Thu previews have been included in Fri-Sun for years, decades. Why pick on BADB4? {nm} Antibody Jun 09, 07:43

Hadn't noticed it years/decades. Noticed it in the last few months. Not picking...straw/camel. But OK. Is OW desc accurate though? Rocket Jun 09, 08:00

Yes, it's accurate. Have you checked and compared the weekend box office charts? {nm} Antibody Jun 09, 08:05

What I mean is: "Opening weekend is the first Friday to Sunday of wide release, unless otherwise defined" [no mention of Thurs previews] Rocket Jun 09, 08:19

For consideration :) Rocket Jun 09, 08:19

Again, Thu preview is Friday box office. If it was Thursday, it would be reported as Thursday box office. {nm} Antibody Jun 09, 08:30

Dammit Jim, I'm a pilot not a Hollywood exec. :D Rocket Jun 09, 08:33

I'm surprised no studio has just come out and said, "Ths is BS"... maybe because they want the Thurs boost for their movies, too. TheWeekendWarrior Jun 09, 11:33

Its not a boost, its opening weekend box office Moviesnob Jun 09, 12:42

And yet, the squabbles when a movie wins the box office solely from money clearly made in Thursday previews continue. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 09, 13:41

by one person on HSX? {nm} Moviesnob Jun 09, 15:04

Between the studios when it's a close call for first place. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 10, 06:09

Back in the day before the Colorado incident, only revenue after midnight on Thursday was included. Studios agreed that they wanted Thursday Catzan Jun 09, 22:37

EmpireCityBO may very well have a good gut instinct when it comes to BO projections. ;) {nm} Jay_Beezy Jun 09, 08:12

My prediction was $55.6 million, and that was from weeks ago, never changed due to the ludicrous $30 million stories. TheWeekendWarrior Jun 09, 08:19

I had it at 50, but I didn't count 10% from Thurs. So I guess close as well - for what we were estimating. "Good job" to you tho! Rocket Jun 09, 08:36

His gut instinct based on just 1 day or no presales is a lot less accurate than projections based on presales the week before opening. {nm} Antibody Jun 09, 09:01

Watchers $7 million {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 09, 08:18

BOR: Fathom's rerelease of LOTR: Fellowship made $2.44m in 1,529 theaters on Saturday, putting it into the top 10 TheWeekendWarrior Jun 09, 07:11

BADB4 OW derivative stopped at $54.10.. HSX community might get a near exact score here Tallwonder Jun 08, 23:58
