TheWrap: Nope, Ted Sarandos hasn't changed his opinion about theatrical releases for Netflix titles. Oct 12, 17:10
More or less, why should we make our subscribers wait for movies they already paid subscription fees for. {nm} Oct 12, 17:11
i cared more when they were making Roma etc instead of Gal Gadot junk {nm} Oct 12, 17:42
they are still making and acquiring excellent movies. that didnt stop after ROMA Oct 12, 18:13
the festival splashes like Hit Man feel like they are becoming fewer and farther between Oct 12, 20:22
Netflix is killing theatrical business in many countries, including South Korea Oct 12, 18:30
on one hand, thats bull****. on the other hand, hopefully one of those films is SMUGGLERS {nm} Oct 12, 18:37
Yes. SMUGGLERS is one of very few korean local theatrical films that could make profit in 2023 Oct 12, 18:46
Glad I have that movie! {nm} Oct 12, 19:05
Good for you! I will be grateful if you can ask Kim Hye-soo to do a publicity tour in US! {nm} Oct 12, 19:35
I met her at TIFF. Very sophisticated. Go Min-Si was my favorite that I got to spend time with Oct 12, 19:43
It's the opposite of funny, how he describes movies he wants watched nowhere else but on a phone as "film". {nm} Oct 12, 21:14

BOT: Taylor Swift appears to be pacing similarly to Black Adam/TFRM7 for tonight. (7.6- 8.8 if accurate) Oct 12, 13:57
20x multiplier at the low end would be 152, high end 176 {nm} Oct 12, 13:59
Why 20X? {nm} Oct 12, 16:02
Exactly there's no comp. {nm} Oct 12, 16:11
At least Beyonce already has them scheduled. {nm} Oct 12, 16:16
Similarly some random chatter than The Marvels is 1/3rd the pace of advance sales of (I believe) Captain Marvel so far {nm} Oct 12, 14:00
Keep in mind that Taylor Swift average ticket price is going to be higher, so could do better based on that alone. {nm} Oct 12, 14:03
I still think your mult is pretty high. Not sure Sunday sales will be close to Friday or Saturday. Oct 12, 14:16
At the moment there are still no shows before 6pm Friday, so that will push some of the biz to Saturday at least. {nm} Oct 12, 14:50
(as far as Friday actual) {nm} Oct 12, 14:50
It's also 165 minutes! {nm} Oct 12, 15:14
take that, Marty {nm} Oct 12, 15:33
it's not a great year for the studios and making deals Oct 12, 17:05
and Variance! {nm} Oct 12, 18:35

DL: Miramax picks up TV rights for Halloween, if successful will use that to relaunch theatrical installments. Oct 12, 13:02
They were involved with the Blumhouse trilogy, unsure if they still have theatrical rights or would need to renegotiate. {nm} Oct 12, 13:03
they still have theatrical rights {nm} Oct 12, 13:11
i guess you really can't kill The Boogeyman {nm} Oct 12, 13:11

TBOCL seems to be getting some semi-decent reviews out of BFI London Film Festival (?) Oct 12, 10:44

DL: Lionsgate has picked up Pete Davidson horror film The Home for early 2024 theatrical release Oct 12, 08:49
Wow, this sounds a lot like a movie that Quint from AICN was developing for ages (same title!) {nm} Oct 12, 09:16
Drew McWeeney wrote about it over 10 years ago when Dimension picked it up. Oct 12, 09:17
And this one was from Miramax... Hmmm... {nm} Oct 12, 09:20
you are not the only one who thinks this! {nm} Oct 12, 10:06
Lionsgate to distribute [THOME] {nm} Oct 12, 16:05
Back to Taylor Swift. Pre-opens start at 6pm tonight. They are on sale. AMC Century City is doing well, Burbank not great. Oct 12, 08:04
The Grove is totally closed after the premiere yesterday. Unsure if it will be back up and running for tonight. Oct 12, 08:05
Alredy many sellouts here for tonight and the single IMAX 68th Street screening at 10pm is filling up fast. {nm} Oct 12, 08:33
The one 10pm IMAX here in Santa Clara is practically empty (3 seats sold!) Oct 12, 09:43
Still, it would be better than not getting any numbers until Saturday sometime. {nm} Oct 12, 12:12
I mean, a 20X mult of $10m in Thursday previews would mean a $200m weekend... Maybe that mult is too high? :) {nm} Oct 12, 12:13
Sentencing Memorandum which has all the gory details. Oct 12, 13:29
The TSTET reviews out of last night's premiere might as well be OMGWTFLOLBBQ reactions... Oct 12, 06:04

IMAX has already said they plan to reissue the film prints at least later in the awards season {nm} Oct 12, 06:57
seem like it would be streaming on peacock way before that? {nm} Oct 12, 09:40
Would be smart to put it on Peacock in December... Oct 12, 12:24

Variety: Netflix downsizing its in-house animation, tbd job cuts, two films put into turnaround Oct 11, 20:13
