I wouldn't think that the average person would know about any sort of backlash towards it (I wasn't aware about that until now).

...Man, I just cannot BELIEVE how badly "Grindlewald" is performing compared to the first "Fantastic Beasts" film -- down 27%, holy cow. At this rate it will peter out somewhere around $180M, at best. That's a nearly $100M hickey from where I hoped it might end up. Damn. --Nico. I'm not surprised, ...

Venom did really well over there (despite being an awful movie), so that's not surprising.

I agree on all points regarding Mary Queen of Scots, but period British drama isn't what it used to be (The Favourite doesn't quite count as it's apparently more daring and shocking), and an aggressive expansion by Focus will result in poor results. One of the theaters near me is getting Mary, Quee...

I remember seeing a Lionsgate logo on the international trailer for Sicario: Day of the Soldolo, so that would make sense.

I've got a few 4K, but no way to play them yet. I can stream 4K UHD through my PS4 Pro, but it doesn't have the 4K disc drive. Got them mostly through junk shops or because they have Steelbooks. I'd also rather pay $5 more sometimes and get 4K+Blu+Digital than Blu+DVD+Digital. I was thinking Hurric...

The Hurricane Heist was a pre-sale. They only got home video rights from Entertainment Studios (Netflix got pay cable) so they really aren't out all that much on it. Besides, those that are really into UHD will buy anything on the format. As for The Last Witch Hunter, I seem to recall that Vin Dies...

I really don't get the UHD buzz, though. People rebuying movies that they didn't really like the first time around (did we really need a 4K release of Push, the instantly-forgotten Chris Evans film from a decade ago?). I don't understand what money Lionsgate thinks they will get by releasing movies...

So here is what I have for you, Screen: Screen203 MS ROUND ONE: R: U: The Mule, Serenity MS ROUND TWO: R: U: Mary Queen of Scots, Vox Lux, Mary Poppins, Vice, Escape Room, The Upside, The Prodiby, What Men Want You will want to add to your Round One slate to fill out your $100. You can still pick fi...

If I can play, I will take Mary Queen of Scots, Vox Lux, Mary Poppins Returns (Wed.), Vice, Escape Room, The Upside, The Prodigy, and What Men Want Since you included What Men Want, I will make this your Round Two slate. However if you want to play, you'll need a slate for Round One. You can pick a...

Vox Lux is probably the film I am most excited for of the Oscar contenders, but I don't expect it to do well outside of the big cities. While I do have the film on my box office slate, I chose it more as a filler than anything else. Mary, Queen of Scots - which I also have on my slate - looks extrem...

I am listening to this song right now - while it is not the worst I have ever heard, it's definitely not great.

Havana by Camila Cabello I'm pretty sure is just the same line about going from Havana to East Atlanta over and over. And why East Atlanta? Is there a big Cuban population there? East Atlanta is a pretty rough area, so I would assume this is why they talk about it so much in that song. I don't know...
