Sales appear to be decent (it's $38.00! at Irvine Spectrum which is about 3/4th's full, will likely sell out by showtime) notfabio Sep 11, 12:35

$38.00 at The Spectrum! That's crazy! {nm} goodvibe61 Sep 11, 14:23

for the chance to watch Jerry and Chris start **** onstage with David to his face? cheap! {nm} just alan Sep 11, 14:27

At least it will get a theatrical release, but Hypnotic only did 4.5 million...total. in 2000+ theatres. notfabio Sep 11, 10:56

Not surprised. The IP doesn't have much appeal to the average moviegoer. No-name cast, mediocre director. {nm} RupertPupkin Sep 11, 11:08

Maybe Antibody will throw Mike255 a bone and IPO this at $5.00 (considering it has a distributor, $10-15.00 is more likely) {nm} notfabio Sep 11, 11:36

Huh? That's Rupert Sanders. Brian Taylor directed this Hellboy movie. {nm} RupertPupkin Sep 11, 18:34

Millennium "to start building a pipeline with Ketchup" which could mean SONJA next. {nm} Antibody Sep 11, 17:47

Belloni: Ken Griffin has sent threatening letters to Sony over his and Citadel's depiction in Dumb Money notfabio Sep 11, 09:33

I'm sure someone else will compile the OMGWTFLOLBBQ reactions to NGWIN, which just premiered at TIFF... TheWeekendWarrior Sep 10, 19:48

Having seen Alexander Payne's The Holdovers, I think it's a REAL player in the Oscar race TheWeekendWarrior Sep 10, 19:51

Not as bullish on Origin or Ezra... TheWeekendWarrior Sep 10, 19:55

I mean, "Best effort since Nebraska" just means it was better than the terrible Downsizing... {nm} Kevman66 Sep 11, 11:52

Paramount: THE TIGER'S APPRENTICE moves up to DECEMBER 27, 2023 [TGRAP] Antibody Sep 10, 14:41

why do horror movies always get such low Cinemascores? {nm} Rishoutfield Sep 10, 18:43

horror is harder to recruit {nm} Moviesnob Sep 10, 21:51

They also usually have downer/nihilistic endings, CS auds HATE those. The Conjuring main franchise films are a notable exception. {nm} notfabio Sep 11, 11:34
