It's stupid. It's a Spielberg picture. I anticipate this film greatly. It will certainly be of high quality. And
after what happened this holiday season, with so many pictures getting blown away by Star Wars, it seems like the smart thing to do, move it out to the Spring. What's wrong with that? If anything, you'd think it'd drive the position in a different direction. Whatever.
America is most likely going to find itself with increasingly limited options over the holiday season if a Star Wars Picture is planted there. You get the time off to go see multiple pictures; nobody's going to want to release their film parallel to Star Wars. We all lose.
Ready Player One is down $16 just because it moved back 3 months to avoid Rogue One??? {nm} Feb 09, 19:06
Yes, because it's admittance that it can't compete. {nm} Feb 09, 19:12
Maybe it can't compete with a SW property, but HSX is all about the BO and I think it can certainly bank there. Feb 09, 19:20
By comparison it fell ~$2 on the day STAR8 moved to December {nm} Feb 09, 19:36
Good point. I think this selloff is silly IMO. We'll see {nm} Feb 09, 19:51
And yet STAR8 is down fifty cents. Hmmm. . . {nm} Feb 09, 20:14
That doesn't make any sense. If it's moving to a date where it'll have more play? {nm} Feb 09, 20:30
Well I agree with you. I am sure the studio didn't make the move to lose money. Feb 10, 06:04
It's the best thing that could've happend to RP1. {nm} Feb 11, 17:47
People trying to make some profit. {nm} Feb 09, 19:13
although, that says more about STAR9 than RDYP1...studio hasn't even seen any RDYP! footage yet...since none shot yet {nm} Feb 09, 19:16
tomcat90 is rubbing off on me...I meant STAR8 {nm} Feb 09, 19:38
Haha, sorry Tealfan! :) {nm} Feb 09, 19:50
Maybe they're just giving Ben Mendelson some extra time to shoot his scenes since he's in both films. {nm} Feb 09, 19:26
UGH, Nevermind haha! I meant that it moved back 3 months to avoid Star Wars 8, NOT Rogue one!!! :) {nm} Feb 09, 19:32
It's stupid. It's a Spielberg picture. I anticipate this film greatly. It will certainly be of high quality. And Feb 09, 20:26
Yes. Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes. {nm} Feb 09, 21:07
I thought ALVN4 and PTBRK had a separate problem. . . i.e. they were not great. I thought JOY was taken. . . Feb 10, 07:00
rising tide and all that...plus it's the holidays...your loss RDYP1? {nm} Feb 09, 21:43
I think that the competition was so limited is your answer - every other big movie got out of the way. Feb 10, 06:41
Hear Here! {nm} Feb 10, 09:40
