Makes sense to not release Kraven so close to Deadpool. If the thing is somehow any good it could have holiday legs. Even if the WOM stinks (which seems likely!), releasing it during it the holidays will max out its BO-which is a great way to minimize the losses for a movie that was inexplicably ha...

Fantastic. Since we've now heard from Ron, we should be completely good to go for Sunday.

I can run it if need be, but Chien has handled it the past 2 years, so I kind of expected him to do it again. I'll also send an email out sometime in the next 24 hours for the people that don't lurk around these parts as much to let them know we're starting on Sunday.

So are we starting this year's draft on Sunday?

New dates:
The Watchers 6/7/24 (from 6/14/24)
Between the Temples 8/23/24
The Return 9/27/24

Vaillant One 1/24/25 (War action flick starring Lana Condor and Chase Stokes that was just picked up by Briarcliff)

Part of me wants to take a victory lap right now, but that would honestly just be mean. The draft I was able to string together was just absurdly good-partly because none of my heavy-hitters got moved out of this season and The Eras Tour WW pickup was the cherry on top of this dream run. As ecstatic...

I think Challengers is a real threat to do $15-20 mil this weekend. The buzz surrounding it seems to have gone beyond the niche corner of the internet that embraced Bones and All, it has the full complement of PLF screens behind it and all those glowing reviews certainly won't hurt. As for Boy Kills...
