AI HAS to be the sticking point. Is it a tool? Yes. and a writer can choose to employ that tool (although why, I don't know? I guess if a writer isn't confident in their own ability). But what studios will want to do is have the AI write the script, bring in a writer to edit it, and then pay the writer way less because they are editing, not writing. That's the end of any real viable writing career and nobody becomes a writer to edit an AI script. Also it's not possible to say the writers are choosing not to budge when the AMPTP has refused to engage with the WGA period.

Dominated by reality TV and maybe Canadian (maybe British) TV shows. Broadcast TV is dead anyways so the whole concept of the traditional TV season isn't really big like it used to be. I actually don't think the actor's strike will last that long if it happens, but I don't know if it even happens: deals tend to happen pretty quickly under a deadline or they can try punting the deadline again. If it does happen, maybe a week? Then the WGA probably gets it's deal pretty quickly. If it lasts a long time, then yeah, I don't know.

Very disappointed Joy Ride did only estimated $5 million. What a funny movie. Hopefully wasn't too expensive for Lionsgate. -
"If you support open borders you support child trafficking" If you make it easier to enter this country legally (meaning opening up the border) then so many people wouldn't need to hire coyotes to cross the dangerous border... The actual evidence shows that the more you try to close the border the more people turn to human traffickers. Closed borders actually increase trafficking. And yes it should be a goal to fight trafficking while protecting personal freedom. I don't see it as a binary choice here but I guess authoritarians do. Yeah let's do more about it. Let's increase international cooperation. Let's make it easier to enter this country legally and get rid of arbitrary quotas. Let's increase support to the communities impacted the most by trafficking.

As someone to showed up to both, CRA and Joy Ride are very different comedies. I think the audience who flocked to CRA.wasnt as interested in a raunchy comedy I guess. -

My consolation is people peer pressured me to do this when I had just finished a night shoot and was exhausted and just did it based on what seemed right to my very tired brain. -

Wait I picked Mi dead reckoning to win the summer whoops. Barbie as number two. And Indie to come in third. I am horrible at predicting box office. In fact looking at my list probably the worst list possible. -

Between the last few MI movies being really good and Maverick, I might have stupidly predicted the movie coming in second for the summer. But maybe fate will vindicate me. -

Yeah no shit child trafficking needs to be stopped. You can think that and not want to see the movie or support it or like it or support the other beliefs of the people behind it. The movie doesn't get a pass just because it is about something important. But regardless, this place is meant to discuss movies and box office.- 997 replies

Now that you tried to build something up by tearing something else down, I now know Rise of Gru can't stand on it's own two feet and isn't worth checking out. -
THE SUPER MARIO BROS MOVIE WEEKEND THREAD

Not mainstream anymore? Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have sold over 20 million copies so far. That's almost as much as Gold/Silver and more than Ruby/Saphire. Sword/Shield sold 25 million...that's more than Gold/Silver (and equivalent to sales to Super Mario Odyssey, the latest main Mario game).
