MUBI has taken the worldwide rights to The Substance ahead of its debut at Cannes next week. Hope this one find its way to a theater in my area at some point.

The summer 2024 season is officially upon us and Hollywood better hope that the first weekend wasn't a sign of what's to come over the next four months. Universal's The Fall Guy-which moved from its original March date to this prime slot on the calendar following the SAG strike-induced delay of Dead...

The Substance, Eleanor the Great, Hellboy: The Crooked Man, My Penguin Friend, Distant and a few Sony Classics titles that I had forgotten about (six's suggestion of Eleanor the Great reminded me that I had forgotten to add their undated titles to the list) have been added to the wire. The others ar...

Indeed and with all the gaps on the calendar this season (particularly from September-April), there could be even more space for quality pickups to emerge.

I hope so too, but I'm not optimistic after this weekend's performance.

I know why it's happening; I just can't help but have a visceral reaction to it as somebody who is averse to taking big swings.

Man, you guys are getting really brazen with the films that don't have confirmed theatrical distribution this year! You're braver souls than I

I'll definitely be able to check it out sometime this week, most likely on either Wednesday or Thursday. Eager to see what you cooked up.

Sadly? I don't think anybody here wants to help out my BO totals in this game after the last 2 years

I will wrap up my draft with A Real Pain and hope that Searchlight pushes it as their big awards movie this year.

On a related note, I have begun compiling the list of films to put on the wire and will have it up and running shortly after the final pick has been made.

I'll dive into the vast pile of A24's undated titles and select Mother Mary . Jack Antonoff and Charli XCX are doing the music and the lead trio of Michaela Coel, Hunter Schafer and Anne Hathaway could be very appealing to the younger indie fan set. As for Companion, it's a sci-fi horror flick starr...
