DL: Message from WGA's Chris Keyser seems to indicate that the "united front" with SAG/DGA isn't likely to hold. notfabio Jun 02, 13:02

DGA is allegedly the weak link. {nm} notfabio Jun 02, 13:03

always were going to be. but SAG and WGA have many other issues aside from residuals, which is what DGA's deal will be focused on {nm} my mate paul Jun 02, 13:21

SAG could put directors on de facto strike if they end up walking anyway. {nm} my mate paul Jun 02, 13:23

Oppenheimer advance sales (Nolan-heads or not) are great, at least for Thursday pre-opens July 20th notfabio Jun 02, 12:54

Grace Randolph seems to hint that David Corenswet is James Gunn's Superman. notfabio Jun 02, 12:36

(It's not supposed to be officially announced until either 4th of July or SDCC from other sources) {nm} notfabio Jun 02, 12:38

V doing PR for that soap actor yesterday was a joke. Agent got his name out there even though he didn't get a screen test. {nm} Antibody Jun 02, 13:36

Would be funny if Gunn addressed it. {nm} notfabio Jun 02, 13:54

Blue Fox is ramping up, will release Relax, I'm From The Future "nationwide" this Fall. (probably 500-1000 theatre range) notfabio Jun 02, 12:20

Sounds like a great plan to me! {nm} Briarcliff Jun 02, 13:22

TheWrap: Things are not as rosy as hyped at Penske Media Corporation hit piece. THR is the red-headed stepchild of the bunch. notfabio Jun 02, 11:57

Not a hit piece if there are layoffs. {nm} Antibody Jun 02, 12:05

Empire: Very early Friday with previews 52+ million for Spiderverse notfabio Jun 02, 11:00

Expects it to change. Incredibles 2 71 million {nm} notfabio Jun 02, 11:02

With same multi if 52 sticks (he was accurate on TLMER before he upped it later) (2.55x) 132.6 million. {nm} notfabio Jun 02, 11:07

ViewerAnon used to work at Fox Antibody Jun 02, 09:37

Tom Rothman, you scamp! ;) {nm} notfabio Jun 02, 09:49

BOR: ASPD2 grossed an estimated $17.35M from Thursday preview shows that began at 2PM. Antibody Jun 02, 07:52

DL: Confirms the 17.35, The Boogeyman had a not great 1.1 million which probably includes Wednesday shows. (The Black Phone 3 million) notfabio Jun 02, 09:30

Probably should have stayed Direct to Hulu. Smile 2 million. Barbarian 850K. {nm} notfabio Jun 02, 09:32

(Probably cost 25-40 in Summer wide release P&A on top of a 35 million production budget) {nm} notfabio Jun 02, 09:37

Barbarian had great legs... TheWeekendWarrior Jun 02, 10:30

the better horror movie of last year IMHO, SMILE more comercial I think but barbarian was really great. {nm} gogreenytd Jun 02, 10:51

Belloni: TCRUI is pissed Oppenheimer is taking all his IMAX screens trying to secure as much rival PLF screens as possible notfabio Jun 02, 07:48

Adam Aron mentioned speaking to TCRUI like two weeks ago about MISS7 {nm} notfabio Jun 02, 07:50

Allegedly tried to get Universal and WB to move Oppenheimer and Barbie (probably his talk with Zas and screening of The Flash) {nm} notfabio Jun 02, 07:52

Barbie has commitments with AMC on at least some Dolby screens {nm} notfabio Jun 02, 07:55

They totally should delay it another year :) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 02, 07:58

OPHMR had its release date first. {nm} Antibody Jun 02, 08:05

Wait... Mission: Impossible opens on July 12 and moved two days earlier, I don't see the big deal TheWeekendWarrior Jun 02, 08:11

I do think he is going to convince some exhibitors to add back MISS7 in August/Sept, Nolan has an iron grip on IMAX 2 weeks at least. notfabio Jun 02, 08:22

Plus the guy (Nolan ie) literally shoots on IMAX cameras. Doesn't MISS7 have IMAX from 12-20 Jul? Tallwonder Jun 02, 09:56

won't it just be another Maverick sitch? Oppenheimer will get its 3 guaranteed weeks then MI will go back into IMAX when other titles sag {nm} my mate paul Jun 02, 08:21

Gran Turismo has an IMAX release August 11th (though I suspect it will only get 1-2 showtimes) and Blue Beetle August 18th and Equalizer 3 notfabio Jun 02, 08:24

Clearly, they need more IMAX screens... or just make IMAX screens even smaller :) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 02, 08:25

or open MISS7 in Jan/Feb, get IMAX screens for months. {nm} Antibody Jun 02, 08:27

March 2024 is just as much a clusterF*** as March 2023 was. Quiet Place, Kung Fu Panda, Snow White, Mickey 17, Spider-Verse 3 {nm} notfabio Jun 02, 08:49

I suspect March 2024 will get a little clearer if strike isn't resolved by September, something can/should move to February. {nm} notfabio Jun 02, 08:52

I'm really curious about how the writers strike affects 2024 animated movies TheWeekendWarrior Jun 02, 10:40

animation generally is non-union work so probably not much {nm} my mate paul Jun 02, 11:06

(non-WGA. there is TAG under IATSE but they are largely toothless for writing protections) {nm} my mate paul Jun 02, 11:07

Most animated writers are not part oW {nm} Antibody Jun 02, 11:06

of WGA. They get nothing on live-action remakes. {nm} Antibody Jun 02, 11:07

WOR: Studio Ghibli will not publish any image or trailer from Hayao Miyazaki’s next film “How Do You Live?” Antibody Jun 02, 07:48

V: Tobias Menzies has joined [FORM1] Antibody Jun 02, 07:31

Clayton Davis self owns himself by admitting he has never seen Casablanca notfabio Jun 02, 07:23

It's okay. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 02, 07:32

GFR: Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Hart to join Hobbs (So much for Red Notice 2 and 3) notfabio Jun 02, 07:12

Seems like an educated assumption rather than insider info. {nm} Antibody Jun 02, 07:20

Didn't one or both appear in Hobbs and Shaw? TheWeekendWarrior Jun 02, 07:33

yup both {nm} tealfan Jun 02, 09:30

Delta House tips its glass in honor of top HSX traders Ratty Batty (week and year) and Oleg Max (career) . . . congratulations! {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Jun 02, 06:40

Is this something you have to sign up for and enter? I gained 36m during May {nm} Fitch3k Jun 02, 14:32

Rank 158 {nm} sphere Jun 02, 16:06

Jatinder: From early looks of it, around $18M previews for ASPD2 Antibody Jun 01, 22:52

DL: $16M Antibody Jun 01, 22:56

Definitely should be over $100m... another example of the trades lowballing based on "tracking" {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 02, 06:36

a industry indister heard that OPPENHEIMER might actually be cost under $100m to make (after tax rebate) Peterlee Jun 01, 22:13

practically a mumblecore {nm} my mate paul Jun 01, 23:05

Variety: Tom Holland confirms he has had very early SPID9 meetings but they are on pause until writers strike is over notfabio Jun 01, 21:59

CWGT/VA confirms: The end/secret post-credit scene that hasn't been shown in earlier screenings of THE FLASH is a joke one. SPOILERS notfabio Jun 01, 17:51

This was previously rumored, not sure who was first. {nm} Antibody Jun 01, 19:58

Saw ASPD2. Liked it overall; it does feel largely like more of the same. Which is a good thing. goodvibe61 Jun 01, 17:37

Jeff Bocks usually week before ERC poll for TFRM7 starts at 30M and just nebulously tops out at 50M+, currently 40M+ is in the lead. notfabio Jun 01, 17:08
