Boyega {nm} Antibody Dec 18, 18:08

NYPOST: Alec Baldwin's comeback not going very well at the moment. notfabio Dec 18, 16:39

Nothing to do with any movies. {nm} Antibody Dec 18, 17:12

ANYONE BUT YOU will have sneak previews starting...tomorrow! Unsure how pre-planned this was. notfabio Dec 18, 16:01

I have a feeling this was meant for Wednesday because nothing is showing up on sale before Thursday. {nm} notfabio Dec 18, 16:03

It really is Tuesday, one Regal location has them live in my area if you go to Regal directly vs trying Sony's site. {nm} notfabio Dec 18, 16:51

Feels like they probably sprung this on theatre chains this morning, so sales should be inconsequential vs Thursday if it's Tues/Wed. {nm} notfabio Dec 18, 16:21

Wow, yeah, they are not doing a good job building hype. {nm} Jay_Beezy Dec 18, 16:50

It's the usual Sony frantically spinning when their non-tentpole holiday film looks like it is in trouble (see IWannaDance/JournalForJordan) notfabio Dec 18, 17:00

It JUST appeared in AMC's app a few hours ago. If this was pre-planned, they did a horrible job spreading the word. {nm} makingajess Dec 18, 16:58

Old The Hot Mic: The Netflix project the Safdies were going to do with ASAND is dead due to the spat between Benny and Josh/Josh and ASAND. notfabio Dec 18, 15:40

today's the day The Rock finally became the next Tom Cruise {nm} co-bro Dec 18, 15:45

Sandler getting announced for that Baumbach movie with Clooney was fortuitously timed. {nm} Jay_Beezy Dec 18, 15:46

Daveed Diggs implied Helen Hunt's sequel pitch was sabotaged/shafted in some way by the studio. But didn't elaborate. notfabio Dec 18, 15:58

d'oh was meant for the Twisters {nm} notfabio Dec 18, 16:00

Collider: TWISTERS isn't continuing the storyline of TWISTER per its writer Mark L Smith (bye Helen), plot revolves along climate change notfabio Dec 18, 15:29

So a modern day “thematic” sequel and not a narrative sequel. {nm} Jay_Beezy Dec 18, 15:39

Games Workshop only now finalized their deal with Amazon Studios for Warhammer Movies & TV projects. Screenwriters are working on it. notfabio Dec 18, 15:22

Expect 2-3 years from here before first project hits screens. Gary Whitta (Rogue One) posted photos of meeting with Cavill in January. notfabio Dec 18, 15:24

Variety: WB going all in on Barbie Oscar Campaign staged a Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants reunion to pump America Ferrera notfabio Dec 18, 15:06

They technically have 6 Supporting Actress names for Barbie, but FERRERA is really the only serious one. notfabio Dec 18, 15:08

ET via IGN: Charlie Hunnam was close enough to being Anakin that he met with George Lucas for Attack of the Clones (he thinks he was Top 3) notfabio Dec 18, 14:34

THR: Marvel Studios formally will not go forward with Jonathan Majors as Kang. But still plans to proceed with Kang Dynasty notfabio Dec 18, 13:40

DL: A studio rep confirmed the news, but did not indicate if they are planning to recast or retool. {nm} notfabio Dec 18, 13:41

Nothing about the fate of Magazine Dreams yet (but of course that was already pulled from the release calendar) {nm} notfabio Dec 18, 13:42

Just put it on Hulu. It's a movie/performance that deserves to be seen. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 18, 13:59

If Searchlight doesnt have a morality clause at this point to drop the film, they should close shop {nm} Moviesnob Dec 18, 14:02

Deepfake AI has a chance to do the funniest thing ever {nm} co-bro Dec 18, 14:07

also the implication is if the verdict had gone the other way . . . he wouldn't be? {nm} co-bro Dec 18, 14:15

Majors could still appeal. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 18, 14:30

THR (might be an update) is saying that internally Kang Dynasty was referred to as that before but now is just being called AVENGERS 5 {nm} notfabio Dec 18, 14:30

"The Doom Dynasty"? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 18, 14:50

should i hurry up and watch the loki season? {nm} dennkenn Dec 18, 15:43

2nd Hand DanielRPK: FNAF 2 aiming to film late 2024. notfabio Dec 18, 13:32

He also apparently posted some X-MEN news but no 2nd hand postings of that yet. {nm} notfabio Dec 18, 13:35

2nd hand Daniel RPK: Mr Sinister is the primary antagonist, female characters are the major X-Men(??) roles. notfabio Dec 18, 14:09

FilmUpdates: Abducting Abigail aka Draculas Daughter has wrapped (I'm guessing source is someones Instagram of the wrap photo) notfabio Dec 18, 12:34

DL: The Wonka Top 10 Theatres were super funky this weekend. Outperformed in Utah, AZ and.....the SIFF Downtown Seattle? notfabio Dec 18, 12:22

[and yes, Megaplex does occasionally crack the Top 10, mostly for PG tentpoles] {nm} notfabio Dec 18, 12:24

SIFF downtown is the newly reopened Cinerama theater (tickets are premium around $20 compared to $14) Moviesnob Dec 18, 12:32

Ah that explains it. Thanks! {nm} notfabio Dec 18, 12:33

People showing up to get their chocolate popcorn after a 2 year drought and maybe staying for the movie afterwards {nm} Kevman66 Dec 18, 13:25

THR: Jonathan Majors found guilty of assault and harassment. notfabio Dec 18, 12:04

Had 4 charges against him, two of them found not guilty. The harassment is the most minor charge of the 4 {nm} notfabio Dec 18, 12:07

"Sentencing will be announced on Feb. 6. Majors faces up to a year in jail" {nm} budice Dec 18, 12:10

Variety: Sentencing on February 6th, still faces (in theory) up to a year in jail, but unlikely he actually serves that long. notfabio Dec 18, 12:10

Call Boyega and be done with it. {nm} austpow Dec 18, 12:22

I say we go older and get Tony Todd. {nm} Jay_Beezy Dec 18, 12:35

Kirk Lazarus {nm} budice Dec 18, 12:38

the #2 movie in theaters a week before Xmas will drop on VOD . . . tomorrow {nm} co-bro Dec 18, 11:09

Lionsgate probably expects to lose a TON of theaters on Thurs/Friday... Silent Night hits VOD tomorrow, too {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 18, 11:45

Yeah, since they aren't a major, they don't have the pull that Disney/WB typically does on holding screens. 32 days is almost 2x their avg {nm} notfabio Dec 18, 11:57

Variety: The Aster - Lanthimos Directors on Directing is live. notfabio Dec 18, 10:12

THR: Mattel's Robbie Brenner delayed victory lap on BARBIE. Theorizes a kid Oceans 11s where kids are art thieves produced by Mattel. notfabio Dec 18, 09:33

Because 8 year olds go bonkers for Basquiat (at least she admits, Barbie is a unicorn and unlikely they will ever reach that high again) {nm} notfabio Dec 18, 09:34

what none of them seem to get is the IP itself was only 25% of what made that movie a $1b. it got people in the door but GG's script would co-bro Dec 18, 09:50

No real scoops, but thinks crossover potential for Hot Wheels, Matchbox and Major Matt Mason and Barbie. {nm} notfabio Dec 18, 09:37

Looks like WB was dead-on with its Wonka estimate... actual $39m {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 18, 08:18

So Who Saw What Last Week?...Barbie (A)...Four Christmases (C) {nm} tealfan Dec 18, 08:05

Leave The World Behind (B-/C+?), Wonka (B) was quite the double feature I'd imagine the A- CS is bait and switch marketing effect on W notfabio Dec 18, 09:22

Rebel Moon D+ TheWeekendWarrior Dec 18, 09:24

Zone of Interest (A) {nm} co-bro Dec 18, 09:32
