OG JURASSIC PARK is playing at AMC and Cinemark locations (at least) August 25th, doesn't appear to be a Fathom Event. {nm} notfabio Aug 08, 18:32

THR: SOUND OF FREEDOM Pay It Forward donations are signed away to be used however Angel Studios see fit to meet its mission statement. Dan Ackerman's attorney Aug 08, 18:14

Angel Studio's exec claims that only actual redeemed tickets are reported to ComScore, unredeemed tickets are not {nm} Dan Ackerman's attorney Aug 08, 18:15

I thought ComScore gets its data directly from theater chains. {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 18:26

Yeah that's a little weird, studios can block ComScore from reporting (like WB did) but don't think they have any input beyond that. {nm} notfabio Aug 08, 18:31

Dmac is right, its an automated process between theaters and comscore Moviesnob Aug 08, 19:06

So people pay money to the studio who then only gives money to theaters when someone claims a ticket and it gets reported. Works out. {nm} MattW Aug 08, 21:39

Studios do report the estimates and actuals to the public which may differ from the raw ComScore. {nm} Antibody Aug 09, 06:08

CARA: TEXOR, NTVTY, MNSTR and Reunion (Lionsgate) which may or may not be REUNN also rated Antibody Aug 08, 17:48

Would be funny if there were competing simultaneous REUNION films that both had "some violent images" which aligns with murder plot point {nm} Dan Ackerman's attorney Aug 08, 18:26

We already have 2 Bag Man & (iirc) 2 Dog Man as well.. should combine them into 2 Doggie Bag Man films .. {nm} Tallwonder Aug 08, 19:20

That film had half a dozen test screenings at least. {nm} Dan Ackerman's attorney Aug 08, 18:10

Gizmodo editor Dan Ackerman sues Apple, the Tetris Company and others of ripping off his book "The Tetris Effect" for TETRS Antibody Aug 08, 15:45

$80 million budget with no theatrical release and poor Apple TV viewership numbers (If SAMBA TV is to be believed) {nm} notfabio Aug 08, 15:52

But very entertaining!! {nm} gogreenytd Aug 08, 16:09

We'll be requesting 6% of your entertainment value back. {nm} Dan Ackerman's attorney Aug 08, 16:12

9% after the strike is over {nm} Moviesnob Aug 08, 16:34

Moviesnob's Hidden Strike is #1 for the 2nd weekend in a row on Netflix, faces Gal Gadot this upcoming weekend though. notfabio Aug 08, 12:34

Writer? Director? {nm} tomcat90 Aug 08, 12:41

TheWrap: Puck (Belloni) raises another $10 million to hire additional staff, expand Hollywood/DC coverage. notfabio Aug 08, 12:20

Currently 31 staffers, plans to increase 8-10 more this year. {nm} notfabio Aug 08, 12:20

i guess it's better than more Penske my mate paul Aug 08, 13:12

I wonder how The Ankler is doing, they seem to have zero buzz anymore. Whereas Puck gets regularly picked up by other outlets. {nm} notfabio Aug 08, 14:47

had a good (non-Rushfield) think piece from the Dickinson creators yesterday on the state of the biz that a lot of writers were retweeting my mate paul Aug 08, 14:53

LA: Aero hosting Prey(2022) on the big screen - Sun 8/20 budice Aug 08, 12:14

Hulu's biggest movie ever, worth seeing in theaters {nm} Moviesnob Aug 08, 13:01

already sold out but Aero is always a hike to the cool eastsiders anyway my mate paul Aug 08, 13:57

DL: "Nationwide" October 13th theatrical release for B&W sci-fi film DIVINITY starring Scott Bakula, Bella Thorne and Stephen Dorff. notfabio Aug 08, 09:21

I would doubt this will be anywhere near HSX "wide" despite box office gold Scott Bakula, their widest release was 154 theatres. notfabio Aug 08, 09:27

The director wears a Halloween mask in public during festivals so you gotta believe that's worth hsx wide status 90 {nm} Moviesnob Aug 08, 10:01

If he can whip up some dank Exorcist & Divinity memes it has a shot! {nm} notfabio Aug 08, 10:17

Searching for this led me to DIVSN. How is that still in Active status? {nm} Tallwonder Aug 08, 10:06

Could always move from Netflix (and or Netflix could change their mind about theatrical, yet again) notfabio Aug 08, 10:30

and Netflix would change its stance about reporting for THIS movie? Tallwonder Aug 08, 10:41

Yes Netflix has DiscoWB style dumped a couple of titles that they produced but decided not to show. House/Wife and The Inheritance. notfabio Aug 08, 10:44

It was kind of funny, one of the titles, co-starred Rachel Nichols who is the ex-wife of Scott Stuber. {nm} notfabio Aug 08, 10:46

I would assume its not wrapped but killed in the Netflix purge {nm} Moviesnob Aug 08, 10:45

Gyllenhaal is Netflix low/mid budget gold but I could see this getting out of the price range they are comfortable with. {nm} notfabio Aug 08, 10:48

The director was only announced 2 years ago. {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 10:56

Collider: Sony did junket for Gran Turismo before the strikes. Harbour says "something" was submitted for Violent Night 2 prior to strikes notfabio Aug 08, 09:09

Unclear if it was a treament or a full script but no work will continue until strike resolution {nm} notfabio Aug 08, 09:10
