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...

While I'm no Hollywood insider, I'm fairly confident that David Leitch wasn't named the shadow CEO of Universal because their releasing 1 movie he directed and 1 movie he produced over the next 9 months and will not have any say in what kind of movies they elect to make moving forward.

I would never even consider defending David Zaslav. He's the biggest anti-art bozo CEO in Hollywood right now. I simply stated that there were several high-profile creatives who clearly weren't bothered by WB's shelving of finished films for tax breaks since they signed on to do movies with them sin...

Not a chance. Horror is the easiest profit a studio can make when the budgets are low enough (the combined production cost of Night Swim and Abigail was $43 mil-which includes an undisclosed increase in Abigail's budget due to it being mid-shoot when the SAG strike started) and outside of The Exorci...

What depressing ass corner of the internet are you hanging around in where there's David Zaslav fanboys

Honestly the reception isn't nearly as bad many feared, so it should be fine-especially since whatever it makes during the US run is just gravy for Universal.

Preview totals:
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare $1.45 mil (includes $600k from Saturday previews)
Abigail $1 mil
Spy x Family Code: White $670k

Glad to have you back in the fold UDM!
