Just a reminder - Spidey and Lion King weekends are still open for columnizing.


Does anyone have any suggestions for films to add to the roster for June and July? Preferably something already listed on Box Office Mojo?

I see a few, but I don't know enough about distributors like Ammo Content, Blue Fox Entertainment, Fathom, Greenwich, ArtEffects, or Trafalgar Releasing to know whether they are solid picks with any PTA potential. I tend to shy away from Magnolia films because those get shunted to VOD at virtually the same time as their release, and I know enough about Cohen Media Group to stay away from it.

Greenwich released Free Solo (near $18 million gross) and have been getting decent runs for their movies lately (The Public opened in 200+ theatres, Wild Nights with Emily got a wide break in Manhattan). I'd say count them in.

Ammo Content is the former Parade Deck. Ignore them.

I don't think Blue Fox reports so ignore them too.

Fathom and Trafalgar do one-night-only shows. Few theatres hold their items for future engagements. Ignore unless a studio or well-off independent (such as Warner Bros. or Funimation) is backing the release.

ArtAffects is Pure Flix with a much lesser budget. Their movies don't make a dime. Ignore.

As for titles to add in, go ahead and add the Mike Wallace documentary even though it's Magnolia. I recall this getting some buzz at Sundance.

I'll do The Lion King. And whatever else is going to get crushed by it that weekend.

I've added the August movies to the first post,

BUUUUUT... could someone claim Spidey's wekend in July before I throw it open? Boosh?

I'll pass on Spider-Man but I'll take the Hobbs & Shaw weekend.

I'll take the Spider-Man week

I'll take Aug 16

I'll take August 30th

I'll do August 23rd. I'm actually excited about The Fiddler movie most of all that weekend

I have added the September films to the first post.

BUT:

Before anyone can claim a spot in September, someone needs to take charge of the logjam that is August 9. Any volunteers?

I'm happy to switch my week (16th) with August 9th if that makes it more appealing for anyone, but I can't do two packed weekends in a row.

Still no volunteers for August 9?

Anyone? Anyone?

Nom-nom cookie?

Sorry, I don't feel like touching that behemoth

i would say yes, but we are moving back to texas in two weeks, and i don't even know if we will have internet set up by then.

I might consider August 9th if I can split it up with another contributor. I'm not really feeling like tackling it all, especially since I'm sure I'll eat crow over Hobbs & Shaw.
