Thanks.

Re: 2017-18 Full Year Slates (Division A)

W might want to consider replacing Renegades, as it's been indefinitely delayed.

Re: 2017-18 Full Year Slates (Division B)

Renegades lost its date (again). Weiss may want to consider replacing it.

Re: COLUMN SCHEDULE

Will we be including A Gentleman in the game? Because if we do, I might have to step in and explain this one (sorry, Tranny). Meanwhile, what's the latest on the October columns? Because I'd like to throw my name into October 6th if possible. Edit: Walleye, you'll need to cover Detroit in your artic...

Re: The Latest Date Changes 2: The New Batch

The next James Bond movie will open on November 8th, 2019. However, it's not known who will distribute (there was a bidding war for a one film deal). My best guess is that Annapurna won the bid (they were apparently pushing the hardest along with Warner Bros. but Warner Bros. has both a DC film and ...

Re: Rate That Movie Part IV: Movies Never Sleep

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets 9/10 Once the opening bars of David Bowie's Space Oddity begin, you realize that you're in for a space movie not seen by audiences in a long while. Luc Besson's new film more than makes up for his last one by begin one that simply doesn't care about audien...

Re: The Trailers Shown Before Other Movies Thread

Trailers before Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets Kingsman: The Golden Circle Star Wars: The Last Jedi A Wrinkle in Time The Dark Tower And since I saw it at an Alamo Drafthouse, the pre-show also included the original US trailer for Fantastic Planet (along with the original music video fo...

Re: Future Tracking From Exhibitors

I did have big international numbers though and that's what the industry cares about nowadays. ;) Meanwhile, it's looking Detroit might not be as wide as planned. The local, non-profit arthouse is getting it on release day and they typically don't book day-and-date with multiplexes (though they did ...

Re: Future Tracking From Exhibitors

It's a older, male, conservative audience mainly rooted in middle America. Now before you go all "you said that about Dunkirk" on me, the works of Vince Flynn don't have a sister audience that can help like Dunkirk did (and I didn't say Dunkirk would bomb, I just didn't think it had a very wide audi...

Re: Future Tracking From Exhibitors

I don't think All I See is You does that. Early word's been quite negative and Open Road hasn't done anything to promote it. With mother! moving up, this could end up being dumped into a few hundred theatres with no marketing. American Assassin is a wild card. On one hand, it is based on a popular b...

Re: Trailer : Ready Player One

This better not be yet another 80's nostalgia orgasm (though the appearance of The Iron Giant suggests it will be more than "do lots of coke and vote for Ronald Reagan") though the trailer suggests a slightly better Speed Racer. I'm not sure about the box office potential though. Valerian is cut fro...

Re: Rate That Movie Part IV: Movies Never Sleep

War for the Planet of the Apes 9/10 This might be the most important summer blockbuster of the decade. In a world of turmoil and a genre where the few offerings seem to be military vs. aliens battles that double as anti-immigration/pro-military propaganda and overpowered teenagers save the world, Ma...
