Re: SIX TIPS, OR HOW TO PLEASE YOUR SLATE – THE FILMS OF 4/26

I only just saw a trailer for Unsung Hero last week and I have no idea who the audience is for this outside of Evangelicals. It looks like a corny knockoff of an imitator of The Blind Side. And I've never even heard of For King + Country. How are we supposed to be interested in a group that's suppos...

Re: The Trailers Shown Before Other Movies Thread

I think I've seen that MaXXXine trailer before every movie I've seen lately. I'm honestly surprised A24 is pushing it as hard as they have instead of making it day-and-date like any other distributor would.

Re: The Latest Date Changes 2: The New Batch

Didn't think there was much of an audience for a Rosemary's Baby prequel, especially seeing how badly received the made-for-TV remake was a decade ago.

Re: The Latest Date Changes 2: The New Batch

The Georgetown Project, a Russell Crowe thriller shot more than four years ago, has been picked up by Shudder and through Vertical, will open on June 7th with the new title The Exorcism. Yes, they're making it seem like a sequel to The Pope's Exorcist even though this one was shot first.

Re: Rate That Movie Part IV: Movies Never Sleep

Infested 6/10 What's this, an actually decent Shudder title? After consistently being disappointed by Shudder's theatrical output, I was somewhat surprised by this French import originally produced for Netflix. Though not entirely original, this horror film about a rare spider being brought to Paris...

You know, I think the Commanders should pick a waffle at #2.

Re: SIX TIPS, OR HOW TO PLEASE YOUR SLATE – THE FILMS OF 4/26

Word of mouth will probably be terrible though. With the exception of Call Me by Your Name, Guadagnino's movies have failed to get mainstream acceptance. The best case scenario would be equaling Bones and All's B Cinemascore, although that score was skewed by people who just came for Chalamet. Not s...

Re: SIX TIPS, OR HOW TO PLEASE YOUR SLATE – THE FILMS OF 4/26

Boy Kills World is opening wide. I'd expect a box office below the last Lionsgate release involving a mute protagonist murdering a bunch of people. As for the wide openers, I'd expect Challengers to play better than Immaculate, with that supposed box office draw Sydney Sweeney. Unless it's a big ten...

Re: Rate That Movie Part IV: Movies Never Sleep

The People's Joker 2/10 I'm honestly surprised Warner Bros. was offended by this. This glorified YouTube sketch is nothing more than an ego trip for its star/co-writer/director/editor, who could have had something if they had stuck to the basic concept of making fun of Batman and made it a ridiculou...

Re: Screening The Releases - April 19th

True but I still don't think it was a good move if A24 wants to be the next major Hollywood studio. International and post-theatrical rights tend to be equally, if not more, important than domestic and having those rights are important for long-term success. It makes more sense than the lifestyle br...

Re: Screening The Releases - April 19th

But seeing how A24 was viewing this film as the one that was put them on the map as a major, it still was rather foolish to sell the international rights. It reminds me of a lot of when New Line sold the international rights to the Lord of the Rings trilogy and lost out on millions, money that could...

Re: Screening The Releases - April 19th

Sasquatch Sunset bombed in its wide expansion, making only $453,000 in 856 theatres. This would have made more sense as a day-and-date title. And while it looks like Civil War will surpass our expectations, it looks to still be a big money loser as its international start hasn't been the most promis...

Re: The Latest Date Changes 2: The New Batch

Hit Man hits theatres on Memorial Day weekend before hitting Netflix. Let's hope they cut a better trailer that doesn't make it look like a forgettable 2000's rom-com before then.
