The Madame Web Spidersuit has leaked on an overseas Ocean Spray tie-in. notfabio Jan 09, 13:38

With the success of ANOBU, Sony should be showing all of SSWEE in her Spider Woman tights. {nm} Antibody Jan 09, 14:28

MADAME WEB Character Banners Antibody Jan 09, 18:44

Those look terrible. {nm} Jay_Beezy Jan 09, 18:57

They are offering $20.00 gift cards if you go The First Omen test screening in the OC on Thursday. Same w/Weekend in Tapei notfabio Jan 09, 12:26

Usually they have problems have to bribe recruiting for Untitled Films or Streaming Titles. It's rare they do for wide theatrical releases. {nm} notfabio Jan 09, 12:28

CBM: Logo art for KARATE KID, BAD BOYS and VENOM 3 at Sony's 2024 slate presentation at CES. notfabio Jan 09, 12:06

For the first time AMC's knockoff of Regal Monday Mystery Movie was different, AMC was shown THE BOOK OF CLARENCE (week of release?). notfabio Jan 09, 10:59

our town got Origin last night. (which isn't exactly Unseen, but..) {nm} CSBD Jan 09, 12:15

DL: Ghostbusters ain't afriad of no Dune... moving up from 3/29 to 3/22 TheWeekendWarrior Jan 09, 10:56

Says it moved cause of Mickey 17... that isn't really a movie is it? Just a placeholder? (No response from WB when I asked) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 09, 10:56

With the Zas anything is possible (mostly bad things) though at least he is opposed to sending things direct to streaming {nm} notfabio Jan 09, 11:03

Tom Cruise and WB are back in business (non-exclusively) co-bro Jan 09, 10:44

Edge of Tomorrow 2 just got a smidge more likely especially if SPACEX doesn't happen. {nm} notfabio Jan 09, 11:01

Maybe they're just waiting for the right forecast. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 09, 13:03

From Lionsgate: Guy Ritchie's TMOUW to open on April 19, presumably wide {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 09, 10:28

Betting that Abducting Abigail/Dracula's Daughter gets pushed presumably (sandwiched between GxK and Civil War) notfabio Jan 09, 10:36

Too late for Ungentle-Ducting? or Abducting-Ministry? {nm} Tallwonder Jan 09, 10:51

I assume big operators like AMC know what they're doing, but-took my son to see Wonka with a group at 18 screen cinema last night. I wanted terraformingearth Jan 09, 09:49

movies often move to split schedules after 2 weeks b/c of reduced demand Moviesnob Jan 09, 10:06

It seemed like most of the theatres had nothing running much of the day. I counted 63 showings at 18 screens the entire day, which is less terraformingearth Jan 09, 12:54

you don't know if the other screens are being rented out but exhibition has not recovered from the pandemic yet Moviesnob Jan 09, 13:08

Thank you, appreciate the insights from an insider. {nm} terraformingearth Jan 09, 15:10

Just to add, new theatres are almost exclusively being built in the 6-12 screens range because of this, ADA requirements also add a wrinkle notfabio Jan 09, 15:55

If you notice the back row(s) of seats missing/removed, it's because of the danger of eye damage if someone looks directly into laser proj. {nm} notfabio Jan 09, 15:56

Why is it possible to look into projector only from the very back? {nm} terraformingearth Jan 09, 17:04

Theaters will likely convert to LED screens (no projectors) if they can rebound back to 10b a year level {nm} Moviesnob Jan 09, 17:42

Well intended laws with unforeseen consequences {nm} terraformingearth Jan 09, 17:03

ANOBU moved to #1 on Monday, impressive legs jonjon Jan 09, 09:05

You've got SSWEE's body parts all misaligned there.. ;-) {nm} Tallwonder Jan 09, 09:16

You misspelled boobs {nm} ndmaster Jan 09, 09:32

Lucasfilm formally announces Mandalorian Theatrical Film project. JFAVR set to direct. JMANG also mentioned for another project. budice Jan 09, 09:03

Oh, great... a THIRD H$250 Star Wars IPO that might never happen. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 09, 09:15

Antibody confirmed SWAR3 is whatever Star Wars film gets released next, this may be it because Rey doesn't have a start locked (yet) {nm} notfabio Jan 09, 09:22

The official title is The Mandalorian & Grogu and confirms this is the first film planned for production (leading ahead of Rey, etc) {nm} notfabio Jan 09, 09:23

Likely this is what goes into production Spring/Summer but Lucasfilm just says 2024. {nm} notfabio Jan 09, 09:31

"48 Parsecs" (hard-R Joel Silver buddy actioner) {nm} co-bro Jan 09, 10:32

Hmmm...maybe that changed.....I believe Antibody doesn't want to risk a 200+ ticker going to 0 if Rey falls apart {nm} notfabio Jan 09, 09:30

Correct, SWAR3 us the next spinoff film, which was previously Boba Fett, Rogue Squadron. {nm} Antibody Jan 09, 09:37

Full circle, TMORR will probably appear as Boba Fett. {nm} Antibody Jan 09, 18:50

Shouldn't spinoffs be priced lower? The last one - Solo did $213m total, D24 - $193m Tallwonder Jan 09, 09:29

hopefully they've learned not to release it six months after a saga tentpole (plus it will have been 5+ years since Rise of Skywalker) {nm} co-bro Jan 09, 10:33

Also worth noting that it still says Dave Filoni is directing a film, so this is (presumably) Mando S4 turned into a movie. {nm} notfabio Jan 09, 09:43

Also mentions Ahsoka S2 is coming. {nm} notfabio Jan 09, 09:44

SHRLE is dated for March 22 but Netflix publicity Email doesn't say if that's in theaters or just on Netflix {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 09, 07:24

The comments on Reddit to Origin being the Monday Mystery Movie last night are .... interesting... TheWeekendWarrior Jan 09, 01:31

I liked I.S.S. and it has commercial potential... I just don't think Bleecker Street knows how to get people to see its movies. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 09, 01:32

Would help if I included the link.. D'oh! TheWeekendWarrior Jan 09, 05:30

email some were expecting ARGYL. People who stayed enjoyed ORIGN. {nm} Antibody Jan 09, 07:41

Sony showed test footage from Gravity Rush based on the Playstation game Antibody Jan 08, 19:47

PGIAM celebrated his Golden Globes win at.. In-N-Out Antibody Jan 08, 19:32

classic east coaster, buying into the overrated hype {nm} co-bro Jan 08, 19:36

lol, yep {nm} Moviesnob Jan 08, 19:46

I dunno about y’all, I’d have gone for Shake Shack. Burgers there are much juicier. Jay_Beezy Jan 08, 21:21

And if I wanted a full service burger place, I’d have tried for The Counter. That’s just me. {nm} Jay_Beezy Jan 08, 21:22

The Counter. Shake Shack. They're great; they're also not the same type of thing. Just look at the cost. goodvibe61 Jan 09, 06:56

Not be that guy but.. Meat is Murder! TheWeekendWarrior Jan 09, 07:03

Plants say Hi! Pls dont kill us instead.. {nm} Tallwonder Jan 09, 09:17

I understand the cost appeal of In-N-Out. I'm just saying, after an awards show, wouldn't you want to indulge in something more savory? {nm} Jay_Beezy Jan 09, 07:52

here in the great state of texas we have WHATABURGER and they know how to make fries too {nm} Moviesnob Jan 09, 10:36

although the best burgers in Austin is Casino El Camino {nm} Moviesnob Jan 09, 10:36

Hey, this IS classic So. California! :-) {nm} Flash Jan 09, 09:23

DL: Imogen Poots, Tom Bateman, Finbar Lynch, Mirren Mack, Jamael Westman and Saffron Hocking join Hedda [HEDAG]. No mention of CTURN Antibody Jan 08, 17:25

Also no mention that Nia DaCosta directed The Marvels... oookay. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 08, 18:43

This is how you can tell that DL gets much of its news from press releases sent via Fax. TheWeekendWarrior Jan 09, 01:16

US trailer for Io Capitano Antibody Jan 08, 17:11

A little HSX exclusive preview tease from my interview with David Ayer running on Weds... TheWeekendWarrior Jan 08, 14:10

Yeah, but didn't Rebel Moon already beat them to the punch? ... {nm} gsquared Jan 08, 14:41

I think that was more of a Seven Samurai rip-off. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 08, 14:43

He did mention going to work on LEVON next, though... IPOs this week, I think {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 08, 14:44

Well, yeah, that's where Mag 7 stole it from, but fair enough. {nm} gsquared Jan 08, 15:39

But they only had 7... Dirty Dozen topped that movie by 5. :) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 08, 19:19

LOL! Now we just need the Crazy 88s to make a showing... {nm} gsquared Jan 09, 05:24

Variety: About 10% of this years Oscar eligible films do not meet inclusivity standards for Best Picture and are ineligible for that award. notfabio Jan 08, 14:03

“Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” “The Creator,” “Dumb Money,” “The Marvels” and “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” do not qualify {nm} notfabio Jan 08, 14:03

[For Best Picture, though of course they weren't going to get that anyway, still surprising with how diverse cast is with MCU] {nm} notfabio Jan 08, 14:04

How does The Marvels not qualify with Nia DeCosta directing?!? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 08, 14:11

I'm guessing a lot of non-diverse key production/behind the scenes crew (their usual crew they use from film to film) but still... notfabio Jan 08, 14:44

It's possible they also just weren't gonna submit Marvels and Quantumania for BP even if every member of the crew was diverse. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 08, 15:21

And what is their definition of “diversity’? {nm} terraformingearth Jan 08, 16:10

It's pretty straightforward (and short) Abraxas Jan 08, 16:20

Ha ha short? It seems to include nearly everyone except male heterosexuals whose primary visible ancestry is from terraformingearth Jan 08, 18:58

DL: Golden Globes are back baby! Up 50% from last years (which were the lowest rated ever) but about 50% lower than 2019. notfabio Jan 08, 13:23

This year had more popular movies, NFL lead-in and were on a weekend vs a Tuesday, but that all said, Golden Globes should survive. {nm} notfabio Jan 08, 13:28

New Host next year? {nm} Captain Obvious Jan 08, 13:36

Undoubtedly, though will still be tough to get anyone (partly why ABC keeps on going back to the Jimmy Kimmel well) {nm} notfabio Jan 08, 13:42

there were several female comedians in the room last night who would have been instantly better co-bro Jan 08, 13:46

Just let Taylor Swift host them in a skimpy outfit. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 08, 14:37

What movies? ;) {nm} DTravel Jan 08, 17:14

So you ARE an ex lover then? ;-) SSWEE might be more the flavour nowadays, bring in younger viewers etc Tallwonder Jan 08, 18:12
