DL: Netflix to the moon in afterhours (reclaiming what it lost earlier today plus a little extra), confirms they are raising prices. notfabio Oct 18, 13:56

Clearly to fund their intended brick-and-mortar plans. {nm} Jay_Beezy Oct 18, 14:37

I guess it doesn't really matter what your true value is. {nm} goodvibe61 Oct 19, 09:43

THR: DL got the scoop on the ankling, but not where they went, they are going to Netflix, so ironically less of a chance of theatrical now. notfabio Oct 18, 12:41

RAY GUNN and POOKOO also moving to Netflix. Maybe Brad Bird can talk them into an IMAX release on RAY GUNN? {nm} notfabio Oct 18, 12:43

That's some of the worst news I've seen recently. So a new Brad Bird animated film that won't be playing in movie theaters. Wonderful. {nm} goodvibe61 Oct 19, 00:14

THR: [SPLBN] and [RAYGN] move to Netflix Oleg_Max Oct 18, 13:17

DL: Anywhere from $27-37 million 2nd weekend for Swift, $20-25 million for KOTFM notfabio Oct 18, 10:52

Personally wouldn't be surprised if KOTFM squeaks out #1 even though Jatinder has mentioned sales are pretty good for this weekend on TS {nm} notfabio Oct 18, 10:53

Weekend theater est I've received for KOTFM is 3,621 theaters with previews starting at 2pm on Thursday. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 18, 10:36

New trailer for Napoleon [NAPOL] Antibody Oct 18, 06:12

The new poster is promoting a 70mm release as well {nm} notfabio Oct 18, 07:01

I feel HSX players need a reminder that Oliver Stone's Alexander opened over Thanksgiving, too. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 18, 07:20

Netflix Geeked Week returns November 6th. Seems they are putting a little more effort into it this year (Tudum Jr) notfabio Oct 17, 20:03

Damsel (likely Q1 2024), Rebel Moon, Leave The World Behind to be featured (mostly TV titles otherwise trailer inside link)) notfabio Oct 17, 20:05

Last chance for some kind of theatrical announcement on Rebel Moon (maybe like one night Imax Live?) and...I suppose... notfabio Oct 17, 20:14

Eagle Rock is a trek {nm} co-bro Oct 18, 12:48

Its a trek from Austin and I go! {nm} Moviesnob Oct 18, 13:21

LAT: heh i guess that’s one way to spin it: “we’re happy our movie flopped without any promo if the actors get a good deal from striking” co-bro Oct 17, 17:44

THR: How the release of Taylor Swift may or may not have left money on the table with the rookie mistakes made notfabio Oct 17, 17:09

Advance Sales hit a wall when AMC sent out press releases about the100 million in advance sales, etc. AMC didn't manage expectations, etc. {nm} notfabio Oct 17, 17:10

Taylor is making $4b from the tour itself. a few million more is a rounding error to her {nm} co-bro Oct 17, 17:17

(but i also tend to agree with "Even if the film had the full marketing resources of a studio, I’m not sure the audience would have grown.") co-bro Oct 17, 17:20

You can strain yourself like THR did and come up with things that could have been improved upon for sure.......(more) notfabio Oct 17, 17:34

Which studio put THR to this? {nm} Antibody Oct 17, 17:11

Probably Universal, they were mutha-f'ing pissed at AMC over opening it against Exorcist and Adam Aron did damage control on a Saturday. {nm} notfabio Oct 17, 17:15

I feel like a broken record, but whether something is a success or not is NOT based on how it did based on projections or tracking, but how Moviesnob Oct 17, 17:44

If AMC is serious about distribution, then need to hire a team for it going forward, if they don't, they'll burn this out fast after Beyonce notfabio Oct 17, 18:24

P*tty mouth :P {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 18, 06:09

ShowEast schedule: screenings of SHIFT, NGWIN, ORGIN, NTVTY Antibody Oct 17, 17:08

FYI..ShowEast historically is a giant nothingburger on the news front, so that Madame Web trailer is probably it. {nm} notfabio Oct 17, 17:12
