Fandango: BOGO offer for SOUND OF FREEDOM tickets (4th of July watching a faith based sex trafficking movie, wheeeeee!) notfabio May 24, 18:02

Just to make it extra confusing, it has full showtimes for July 3rd even though July 4th is the official release date. {nm} notfabio May 24, 18:05

Last note...surprise, advance sales are actually not bad from scanning some rando SoCal theatres for 3rd and 4th {nm} notfabio May 24, 18:07

DL: DGA and AMPTP still far from the framework for a deal (if you believe anonymous DGA sources). prolly should take a strike authorization my mate paul May 24, 17:15

CARA: KOTFM, SOFRD, ASPD2 have been rated. Looks like IPO needed for Caddo Lake Antibody May 24, 17:07

Caddo Lake is MNSHY's (produced only) Vanishings at Caddo Lake. They probably will give it a decent release re his new deal there. notfabio May 24, 17:17

Filmed in 2021, reshoots in October 2022 (clip of it at link) notfabio May 24, 17:18

DL TRANSFORMERS ONE punted to a not exactly glowing September 13th, 2024 release from July 2024 less than a month after CinemaCon notfabio May 24, 17:00

Avoids TWISTERS (which probably would have gotten large format), is a week after BEETLEJUICE 2 and BLADE which c'mon, won't make that date. {nm} notfabio May 24, 17:02

(Though looking at sked, they would have been murdered by Thunderbolts in its 2nd weekend as TFRM7 likely will by THE FLASH) {nm} notfabio May 24, 17:06

Variety: Rebel Wilson says she interviewed last year for the next James Bond movie after impressing the Bond producers for the BAFTA awards. notfabio May 24, 15:33

Her interview is not jokey (it's largely to pump her directorial debut, Deb) so I think she really is serious about the audition. {nm} notfabio May 24, 15:35

Vogue: Gal Gadot was approached by Robbie to co-star in BARBIE, wasn't available (probably filming Heart of Stone and or pregnant). A.I. Overlords May 24, 12:05

DL: Presales for THE LITTLE MERMAID for China are "slow" (African American lead films typically do pretty terrible in China) notfabio May 24, 09:53

but they love mermaids {nm} my mate paul May 24, 09:56

Fathom Events: Shin Kamen Rider is a giant hit, adding more theatres for May 31st and adding a second date June 5th notfabio May 24, 09:47

THR: Guilds are officially big mad over Max's "Creators" listings, DiscoWB promises to fix it and claims it was a "transition" tech error. notfabio May 24, 09:44

De Niro has fourth billing for Raging Bull {nm} TheWeekendWarrior May 24, 09:54

"A Creation By . . ." {nm} my mate paul May 24, 09:57

I'm unsure, but I suspect this is how they had Discovery+ setup which is mostly reality so when they merged both this is what happened. {nm} notfabio May 24, 10:01

DL: Allegedly MAX has already corrected this (likely was in breach of several guild contracts) notfabio May 24, 10:21

The joint Presidents of DGA&WGA statement notfabio May 24, 10:42

No mention of Kandahar? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior May 24, 09:21

Shaun at BOP predictions: TLMER $117.8m, About My Father $5.3m, The Machine $3.8m, Kandahar $2.4m (!) TheWeekendWarrior May 24, 09:30

Esquire: AMUSC SPOILS the Superman cameo in FLASH Antibody May 24, 07:19

Rocha: FLASH screening (Monday) was not the final cut. Apparently, no one is seeing the FULL movie until the week of its release. Antibody May 24, 07:26

Variety spoiled it on social media including the name of the actor. TheWeekendWarrior May 24, 07:26

fwiw, Andy shouldn't have blabbed to the press. It's gonna be all over the internet, but I didn't name the actor. {nm} Antibody May 24, 07:33

The more people know about the movie the more they want to see it {nm} Moviesnob May 24, 07:37

Warners are setting themselves up for even worse reviews than Black Adam. TheWeekendWarrior May 24, 07:47

I agree. The Variety tweet was much worse.. no way to avoid it. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior May 24, 07:46

Esquire Middle East? That's a thing? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior May 24, 07:27

Max has eliminated Director/Writer/etc credits, now just refers to "Creators" (of course the films, etc still have their internal credits) notfabio May 23, 20:30

starting to think Zaslav's commencement speech was just bull**** {nm} my mate paul May 23, 20:38

film twitter is loving it my mate paul May 23, 21:03

Their (cringy) ad btw relies too heavily on JMOMO & Aquaman {nm} Tallwonder May 23, 21:15

Maybe that will become a Max exclusive. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior May 23, 22:09

Wondered the same while seeing it but didn't want to speculate here ;-) {nm} Tallwonder May 24, 00:03

DF: The Direct to P+ Good Burger 2 is in production (unless the strike goes 6 months, if so maybe not so P+ anymore) notfabio May 23, 18:11
