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

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

Terrific premise and the strong possibility of it all going sideways. We could be looking at a new Shyamalan classic folks.

That's not happening anywhere in these parts. Even if it performed poorly there, pulling the reigning box office champ for a movie that's been out for over a month and didn't even report box office last weekend is a bizarre move.

Yeah, Borderlands, The Fire Inside and/or Cuckoo is definitely moving. Harold and the Purple Crayon is the only wide release currently on the 2nd, so one of them will likely move there.

Dropping It Ends with Us for The Bikeriders

Weekend Actuals: 1.Civil War $25.7 mil (Highest-ever OW for A24 as well as their 1st film to top the box office) 2.Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire $15.5 mil 3.Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire $5.8 mil 4.Kung Fu Panda 4 $5.5 mil 5.Dune: Part Two $4.3 mil 6.Monkey Man $4.1 mil 7.The First Omen $3.8 mil 8.S...

It Ends with Us has been pushed back to August 9th.

The 28th seems ideal. Sunday is the start date we've typically employed in the past and depending on how Abigail fares, the battle for 4th place between Banks and Walleye could come down to the wire.
