How do you explain the current push towards Universal making David Leitch their new golden boy then? It feels as if they want to get away from Jason Blum's type of movie as they usually don't have full ownership of them and the losses of The Exorcist will be felt for some time as any slight profit t...

Pretty much anyone who's Snydercut defends Zaslav for listening to their every whim. Indiewire wrote a puff piece a while back which called Zaslav Paramount's savior (obviously, this didn't happen as anyone who's looked at Warner Bros.' debtload would know that proposed merger was nothing but talk)....

Looks like Abigail has ended Radio Silence's hot streak. And between this and Night Swim, could Universal be rethinking horror? It feels like those two weren't pushed very hard (and the latter's general reception didn't help things).

A 50 on Metacritic isn't very good, especially given how heavily Universal is promoting it.

But then again, the similarly-panned Bohemian Rhapsody was a box office monster.

Deep Sky 8/10 Sneaking into IMAX theatres this weekend is an entertaining documentary about the James Webb Space Telescope, the years of work it took to build it, the scientists and engineers who worked on it, and the successful launch leading to some of the recent discoveries of the galaxy. The ima...

I wonder if Universal might rethink releasing Back in Black wide. Early word isn't good.

At this point, just don't question anything Warner Bros. does. Things haven't made sense there ever since they let the trolls win by making the Snydercut happen.

We'll save a lot of time and energy by just moving on and ignoring the Zaslavbros.

Stress Positions has gotten rather mixed reviews and COVID-themed movies never took off. I don't even think it manages a third of that number. As for the wide releases, Lionsgate really missed the boat with Ministry by not starting the ad campaign earlier. Sure, reviews haven't been great but it see...

Universal has another animated movie in Piece by Piece in October while August is essentially a dump month. The only kid-friendly option in November is Red One but that will skew older. November 1st would be your best option for The Wild Robot. The start of the holiday season and you can take advant...

The Movie Critic has been officially shelved, which is probably for the best as Tarantino had decided to rework it into a Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood spinoff and put the main character of The Movie Critic in the background, morphing the original concept into an entirely different film. In other ...

Well, I think I already figured out the twist, making it another movie I don't need to see as the trailer showed everything. Edit: I was reading the Reddit thread on this and they came up with an even dumber twist: the daughter is the killer . Meanwhile, Shyamalan himself is saying there is no twist...

The first entry of the Spider-Mondays series, a reissue of the 2002 Spider-Man, did pretty well. It wouldn't surprise me if Sony eventually did a wide reissue of this one. Spider-Man 2 gets a one-night only reissue this Monday, followed by the third Tobey Maguire entry, both Andrew Garfield movies, ...

It's a weird theatre in general. It's in a smaller town and they'll book every religious movie possible, even ones you've never heard of. It's owned by B&B, which tends to be one of the more politically conservative chains. But interestingly, Civil War is still running at other B&B locations. I real...

Any locations pulling Civil War after one week? A theatre near me is pulling it after Thursday and replacing it with Love Lies Bleeding after having it on three screens this week.

Either the numbers were really bad at that location or something happened related to a showing that led to this move.

Arcadian 3/10 The latest masturbatory material for doomsday preppers and terminally online people might be the most cliche movie so far this year. Nothing about this one is original, with elements lifted from other dystopian movies as two teenagers in the Irish countryside (standing in for the US) f...
