I remember the Black Eyed Peas did something similar maybe 15 years ago. Nobody actually cares that a movie trailer played on some guys phone in space. It's a ploy to get coverage for the debut of the trailer on some traditional news sources in order to alert people that the trailer has been released.
Edit: they're playing it off an iPad. You can actually see the fingerprints on the screen.
Leaked online - what's interesting is that this is a leak from RUSSIA. Looks like Sony have quietly started to release their movies in Russia again (digitally at least). I imagine the other studios will follow (if they haven't started already).
Me, halfway through reading the Wikipedia summary of this book
Also the character names are just incredible: Atlas Corrigan, Ryle Kincaid, the main girl is called Lily Bloom. Like something off of Dynasty.
And those numbers sounded reasonable at the time too (at least to me). Maybe the niche echo chamber has replaced popular discussion in regards to film? Reminds me of Saltburn - a movie no one saw in theaters, a movie that never landed on the Nielsen streaming charts - yet still got labeled as the movie EVERYONES talking about.
Between this and Monkey Man, the disparity between films that get actively discussed online and the amount of people actually willing to go see them has been fascinating. I thought Civil War would have a break out $50m OW a month ago.
I hadn’t seen it in years and only started watching because of The Rock. Like one of the last things I remember watching was Rey Mysterio having to fight a guy to win back the custody of his son (now the son’s a grown ass man fighting his dad. That’s how long it’s been). It’s so silly and fun, like a soap opera or pantomime theatre.
Also whoever revamped the Divas section into not being creepy garbage deserves an award.
Aaaand it's out online.
I have absolutely no idea what the source is. It appears to be from a Web store. Lack of foreign subtitles indicates a regional web-store that isn't available globally. Legendary films have different PVOD and SVOD terms globally compared to other WB films. It was always likely gonna be released online somewhere before the "official" April 14th date.
To know it wasn't even close makes it worse. I feel like how non-Succession fans felt after being barraged by forced discussion of a show they've never heard of.
From my experience: British-Indians in the UK tend to watch Indian movies and TV shows (I think i saw more posters for LEO than i did for Aquaman 2 in south London).
British content that stars Indians only tend to do well with them when they are tied to the experience of being Indian in Britain (which I don't beleive Monkey Man is).
I want to know how close the splits were because the way the news media was acting like this vote was life or death was some of the most irritating nonsense of the last month.
