Re: COLUMN SCHEDULE
It is. A24 announced the wide expansion months ago (and I bet Warner Bros., who produced the film before selling it off at SXSW, will require A24 to play it wide).

Re: Tranny Tackles the Cinema: The Films of 8/25
Beach Rats took in $17,100 in three theatres on Friday. This should mean a PTA of at least $15,000 for the weekend.
The most amusing number this week is that a film called Bushwick (which has become a Sharknado-esque joke on the Internet) made $1,100 on Friday in 41 theatres. That's a PTA of $27.

Re: COLUMN SCHEDULE
I'm convinced we'll only see it if Weinstein sells the film rights back to Universal (the story about how the rights got split up is a complicated one, dating back to Weinstein's days at Disney). Many directors have been attached (Todd Phillips and Peter Berg were also attached before Szifron got in...

Re: COLUMN SCHEDULE
Add Wonder Wheel (December 1st). Remove The Six Billion Dollar Man, as filming never began and the director supposedly left the project (he was offered Justice League Dark but passed).
And Last Flag Flying moved up to November 3rd.
Meanwhile, when we will start selecting for December?

Re: The Latest Date Changes 2: The New Batch
Looks like Fantastic Voyage (what seems to be the Untitled Fox/Lightstorm Project) will be pushed to 2020, as Guillermo del Toro will be busy with The Shape of Water's Oscar campaign (in other news, it looks like Fox expects this to be the real deal). Combined with development on the Alien Nation re...

Re: Tranny Tackles the Cinema: The Films of 8/25
I think Alita: Battle Angel (based on a manga) will be big. It's James Cameron teaming with Robert Rodriguez on a project people (especially Cameron's fanbase) have waited years for. Of course, I thought Valerian would do well too. Meg should also do well. The book was popular and people like shark ...

Is Do It Like a Hombre (opening in 370 theatres) in the game? That could surprise next week, based on its strong results in Mexico and Pantelion having had much success on Labor Day weekend.

Re: Tranny Tackles the Cinema: The Films of 8/25
The industry has no one to blame but themselves. They were too busy trying to make trends that few wanted to happen (movies based on apps, film sequels to completely different mediums, feel good movies with unsympathetic protagonists) or held onto things that went stale long ago (party-themed comedi...

Re: Tranny Tackles the Cinema: The Films of 8/25
I had to watch Modern Family in a class once. I don't understand the appeal (everyone's a cartoonish cliche and it has confession cam, the worst part of reality television, featured) but it always wins Emmys (of course, they only ever nominate the same few shows). Edit: of course, the AMC here isn't...

Re: Tranny Tackles the Cinema: The Films of 8/25
Logan Lucky flopped for one simple reason: it's not very good. Critics might have liked it but the Cinemascore was a B and there was no reason to open in 3,000 theatres (and Soderbergh using the international sales for marketing purposes was hardly experimental, indies did this all the time back in ...

Re: FESTIVALS 2017
This is more of a 2018 thing but does anyone else getting the feeling that Sundance has become out of touch with audiences? Between the large number of box office flops (it seems like The Big Sick and Beatriz at Dinner are the only ones that have broken out) and the narrow-minded selection (it feels...

Re: Rate That Movie Part IV: Movies Never Sleep
Brigsby Bear 1/10 The Lonely Island and company try to make an Americanized Bad Boy Bubby...and fail horribly. When it's not creeping you out with its uncanny valley Teddy Ruxpin-esque thing or its Chris-chan-like main character, the film lives in Crazy Town (err, I mean Utah) with its characters li...

Re: Down the Rabbit Hole with Buscemi: August 18th-20th
I think Good Time will play better wide though. Every time I've seen the Ingrid Goes West trailer in a theatre, the audience reaction's been dead. Also, I think Robert Pattinson has more drawing ability than Aubrey Plaza.
