cannes seems to be pretty liberal with it's 11 minute ovations May 20, 09:54
Cannes always overly-enthusiastic about French filmmakers (see: Titane) Homecourt advantage kind of deal. {nm} May 20, 10:20
Titane of course actually was critically well received, just it also was far from a commercial kind of film. {nm} May 20, 10:22
Won the Palme D'Or... didn't even get noninated for an Oscar {nm} May 20, 11:45
Ovation Watch is just the trades way of having their own version of horse-race political polls to create "news" {nm} May 20, 10:24
TOP GUN: MAVERICK is an example of a huge box office hit that was only lukewarmly received at Cannes on the flip side. {nm} May 20, 10:35
Do people realize that most of the audiences at those premieres are involved with making the movies they're applauding? {nm} May 20, 10:43
Obviously some of the smaller festivals are likely skewed too. But Cannes/Venice should not be (at least for US films) {nm} May 20, 10:50
Dial of Destiny got a standing ovation at Cannes. Is that 'nuff said about the relevance of standing ovations? {nm} May 20, 11:12
Why wouldn't he? Presumably it would report an estimated on Sunday {nm} May 20, 09:53
I'm not positive if the rule is it has to play Friday - Sunday at least. It has been awhile since it has come up. May 20, 10:18
I think if it reports weekend box office, it's safe.. not sure what will happen with the replay $$$ from Sept 25 though. {nm} May 20, 10:44
DL: Kevin Costner is still trying to get financing for HORIZON PT 3 at Cannes May 20, 08:25

but don't let em read the reviews May 20, 08:49
Apparently Costner's character doesn't even show up until 1 hour in. {nm} May 20, 09:11
lol Read this explains why no one wants too waste more money after the great review and applause May 20, 10:00
SITWAP: FALGY hits digital tomorrow (courtesy Collider) May 20, 06:33
Lol sweet I just watch from my couch {nm} May 20, 07:23
they're not gonna make any more of these kinds of summer tentpoles if the only place they can run them is on streamers {nm} May 20, 08:18
So far Jordan Peele and Nolan are the only fillmakers UNI has stretched their contractual theatrical minimums fornimums {nm} May 20, 08:38
(The 50+ minimum 30 days) {nm} May 20, 08:39
Apparently most people do not want "this type of summer tentpole" being made. {nm} May 20, 08:42
And it's 20 minutes longer ! God help those of you who didn't go to the theater to see it LOL. May 20, 08:37
In the Land of Saints and Sinners (remember that movie?) also hits digital tomorrow {nm} May 20, 10:11

A positive portrayal? Be a short film. Title, roll credits. 😉 May 20, 09:32
"with plot details shrouded in mystery." I'm gonna say the plot isn't that mysterious. {nm} May 20, 11:11

SOP is 30 days with a final trailer launch for MCU. So this is unusually long for them. So that alone could explain it. {nm} May 20, 09:15

WOR: QUEER is 3 hours and will world premiere at the Venice Film Festival May 19, 17:54
THR writes some BS about how much we care about these standing ovations (but do we really?) May 19, 17:39
I just don't understand May 19, 19:14
Has anyone shown any correlation between ovations and, well, anything? Success, maybe? {nm} May 20, 07:31
Cannes: The Substance getting some good OMGBBQ May 19, 15:52
DL: 13 minute ovation, but French director in France so... (it is Titane esque) May 19, 16:33

DL: HORZN 11-minute, 40-second ovation May 19, 12:48
V: seven-minute standing ovation. May 19, 12:49
Also hope that it does snag some IMAX screens, may hold off on seeing it until it has some. {nm} May 19, 13:04
THR's review is pretty negative, feels like a streaming TV project, film ends with a preview for HORIZON: PT 2 {nm} May 19, 13:50
bet it gets better press than Megalopolis tho {nm} May 19, 15:46
