Re: 2024 Festivals/Awards Thread
I'd be surprised if any major distributor is willing to meet Coppola's P&A demands of $80-100 million. A merely average sci-fi film with actors who are box office poison (Driver, Plaza, LaBeouf) won't sell outside of filmbros and with a lot of the on-set rumors about Coppola in addition to Coppola's...

Re: The Latest Date Changes 2: The New Batch
Anyone remember when Mike Flanagan was going to do this one but it became a streaming series instead after he left the project?

Re: The Latest Date Changes 2: The New Batch
But oversaturation is also a thing. Look at all those no-budget shark and Amityville movies on Tubi. If you fill a genre or medium with an overabundance of sub-standard content, audiences will revolt. We've seen it with other genres (we don't see comedies anymore outside of the streaming offerings t...

Re: The Latest Date Changes 2: The New Batch
You can put Five Nights at Freddy's 2 at any date and it would make money. The Black Phone 2 is going to have a more limited audience, as well as a very likely R rating, and would make more sense to play on Halloween being dropping hard in its second weekend. And Spectre, there's a such thing as ove...

Re: The Latest Date Changes 2: The New Batch
I still don't get that M3gan 2.0 title. Shouldn't it be called Meg4n?

Re: The Latest Date Changes 2: The New Batch
After what happened with Bupkis, I don't think Pete and Universal are working together any time soon.
And yes, The Exorcism is the Russell Crowe movie.

Re: SIX TIPS, OR HOW TO PLEASE YOUR SLATE – THE FILMS OF 5/17
The first reviews on IF have come out and it's not very good. Not sure if audiences will have the same thoughts but based on the reviews that have been released, it suggests that it's a film that has no idea what it's trying to be. Also, I learned George Clooney voices a character and Michael Bay's ...

Re: 2024-25 Yearlong Box Office League Waiver Wire
I was reading about The Killer's Game and wow, it's had quite a history in getting produced. The original script was sold in 1995 with the name Godforsaken and eleven writers have worked on it during its near-thirty year period of development. Lionsgate is the fifth studio to have been attached to t...

Re: The Latest Date Changes 2: The New Batch
I'd totally forgotten about Margie Claus. I remember Melissa McCarthy was going to do this one but made Superintelligence instead.

Re: Trailer : Megalopolis
MGM dropped the project previously so I can't see Amazon taking a chance on it. And after the failures of films such as Argylle, I have to imagine Apple will want films that have wider audience appeal rather than something that's going to get viewed as a lesser version of Civil War. And if Apple wer...

Re: The Latest Date Changes 2: The New Batch
Bleecker Street's interested more in post-theatrical money at this point and a title like this looks good for TV and streaming packages. As for In the Summers, it's not a very mainstream film so that would explain why it lacks a distributor. In addition, it feels like a lot of distributors gave up o...

Re: Trailer : Megalopolis
Coppola hasn't directed much of note in the past few decades and it looks no different than the numerous other dystopian movies released recently. During the time this was in the works, there's been like, 50 movies that have done the same thing. And I can't believe I have to repeat this, Adam Driver...

Re: SIX TIPS, OR HOW TO PLEASE YOUR SLATE – THE FILMS OF 5/17
Babes to me looks like a long episode of Broad City and the last time someone tried that (Rough Night), it bombed. Babes probably opens decently but I expect it to die in its expansion. As for the wide openers, I'd go a little lower on IF. It seems puzzling that Krasinski would follow his Quiet Plac...

Re: The Latest Date Changes 2: The New Batch
The Exorcism has been pushed to June 21st. Given the barren weekend, it wouldn't surprise me if this ended up being another Shudder title that opens wide.
