THR: The Kevin Spaceyasance is possibly upon us, Control aiming for a December 2023 domestic theatrical release notfabio Jul 31, 16:20

It's actually a halfway decent concept considering his utter paycheck crap. But would be shocked if this gets more than a few dozen theatres {nm} notfabio Jul 31, 16:32

Doesn't even have theatrical distributor yet. {nm} Antibody Jul 31, 17:10

Production company claims they will self distribute if they have to (not a great sign either) {nm} notfabio Jul 31, 17:36

Trailer for CAMP HIDEOUT coming to Regal September 15th notfabio Jul 31, 14:01

Since it's Roadside, it'll likely play all the major circuits, but still probably limited. {nm} notfabio Jul 31, 14:02

TheWrap: Well so much for the Director/Actor workaround, BCOOP not going to Venice for MAESTRO. notfabio Jul 31, 11:11

Criticism of the SAG waivers sorta changed some minds {nm} budice Jul 31, 11:55

and Viola Davis refusing to use the one they gave her {nm} my mate paul Jul 31, 12:07

i guess this is the actor leading the coup against Fran's leadership my mate paul Jul 31, 17:47

THR: Cineworld didn't exit bankruptcy by today, but is taking the last couple of steps needed to do so. Shareholders officially wiped out. notfabio Jul 31, 11:00

Jeff Nichols’ ‘The Bikeriders’ Will Be Doing “Some Fall Fests” Ktw37 Jul 31, 10:44

Variety: Why Haunted Mansion wasn't held closer to spooky season (they're just guessing, but D+ Late Sept-Oct) notfabio Jul 31, 10:30

What the hell? Paul Reubens aka Pee Wee Hermann is DEAD?! At 70? from cancer?!? TheWeekendWarrior Jul 31, 09:57

From FB (so you need an account) TheWeekendWarrior Jul 31, 09:58

Trades confirm, ala Jamie Foxx he probably thought his career would take another hit if he disclosed it. notfabio Jul 31, 10:27

People need to get out of this mindset. Letting your fans know would allow you to get the support of your fans during trying times. TheWeekendWarrior Jul 31, 13:57

Exactly - rightfully so some people (and yes celebrities are people) don’t want to share their health status publicly. MAlbi Jul 31, 14:21

I think it's a personal choice...some might think the support of family and friends is enough {nm} tealfan Jul 31, 16:29

Kind of hard to think of him as 70. I know Pee Wee was over 4 decades ago but still you know.. {nm} Tallwonder Jul 31, 12:46

yeah Tom ain {nm} my mate paul Jul 31, 09:17

*fat fingers* ain't getting those IMAX screens back. Oppenheimer's run extended to Aug 17th and returns in the fall as demand indicates my mate paul Jul 31, 09:18

IMAX is very supportive of talent that is supportive of them. I think they'll work out SOMETHING but after ticker delist. notfabio Jul 31, 10:19

Greg Silverman (Ex-WB exec): Most of Zack Snyder's films at WB are very profitable, except Sucker Punch and Ga'Hoole Peterlee Jul 31, 09:08

So it seems like Watchmen is also profitable? {nm} Peterlee Jul 31, 09:09

Maybe via home video sales? {nm} Jay_Beezy Jul 31, 09:42

yes and broadcast licensing {nm} Moviesnob Jul 31, 10:34

WOR: BHCP4 is Testing Through the Roof. Netflix is seriously thinking about releasing it this year. Antibody Jul 31, 07:56

Amazon has Eddie Murphy's Candy Cane Lane for Christmas, so November is pretty much the one place they could go this year. {nm} notfabio Jul 31, 08:35

Also, not having Eddie Murphy to promote Axel Foley would be a terrible idea, only works if strikes end in time for him to promote. {nm} notfabio Jul 31, 08:37

Netflix has huge fanbase, so the film would still do very well on streaming without Eddie Murphy doing publicity {nm} Peterlee Jul 31, 08:58

(theatrical release is another matter, but I bet Netflix won't give it a 'big' theatrical release like Glass Onion) {nm} Peterlee Jul 31, 09:00

If their goal is You People #'s which were good probably would be fine, but this is likely way more expensive. {nm} notfabio Jul 31, 09:04

Heart of Stone is going to be the first real test of a big star Netflix tentpole during the strike (but is prone to do well anyway) notfabio Jul 31, 09:07

they barely market their stuff that's on streaming as it is {nm} my mate paul Jul 31, 09:07

They really pushed Schwarzenegger hard for FUBAR and his doc, both of which did really well for them. notfabio Jul 31, 09:17

Looks like RLJ is reporting box officd for SFTDV Antibody Jul 31, 07:51

Yikes. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jul 31, 08:19

its a tvod title {nm} Moviesnob Jul 31, 10:37

Doesn't look like Falling Forward Films reported for The Baker, so probably not going to on The Retirement Plan either. {nm} notfabio Jul 31, 08:31

Loki Season 2 | Official Trailer Antibody Jul 31, 07:46

Absolute minimum of JMAJO apperances they could get away with {nm} notfabio Jul 31, 07:49

A Movie called ROCKY AUR RANI KI PREM KAHANI ended up grossing 1.8 mill this weekend , source below , no IPO ? bunty_ketti Jul 31, 07:45

Did it release in the US? {nm} WolfieB Jul 31, 09:39

Yes . It grossed 1.8 mill in usa , enough for it to sneak into top 10 {nm} bunty_ketti Jul 31, 11:59

Not on the BOM or TN chart. {nm} Antibody Jul 31, 15:34

Doesn't happen often but WB's $93m estimate for Barbie is the actual #. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jul 31, 07:22

JULY 21 thru JULY 27th was the best week ever for over 60 AMC locations (though some are Pacific locations that AMC only has had recently) notfabio Jul 31, 06:49

i wonder if they'll get to plant stories in the trades pressuring studios to make a deal instead of pushing fall/xmas releases to 2024 {nm} my mate paul Jul 31, 07:49

its more for wall street {nm} Moviesnob Jul 31, 10:38

the theaters are more likely to pressure the unions than the studios bc they work with the studios everyday {nm} Moviesnob Jul 31, 10:39

AMC Citywalk on the 17th will switch their Oppenheimer to digital Imax notfabio Jul 31, 06:09

Was on the first poster Antibody Jul 31, 07:14

Warner Bros Japan has apologised to Japanese people after the official @barbiethemovie account engaged in a #Barbenheimer meme post. Peterlee Jul 31, 04:39

It's interesting that the twitter context indicates the bomb drop was not only mass destruction, but mass murder sneak Jul 31, 05:22

Puck: Iger Brings Back His Old Heir Apparents, Kevin Mayer and Tom Staggs, to consult Antibody Jul 30, 23:03

also from puck: SAG technically couldn't strike studios' overseas productions, it was why Amazon's "G20" got waiver Peterlee Jul 31, 00:30

It also states that Lionsgate could get SAG waiver to produce "Flight Risk" {nm} Peterlee Jul 31, 00:34
