  1. It was so bloated and draggy I never would have finished it in one go. They're lucky I came back after Pesci called DeNiro "kid". I do as well but oddly not a plus for theater owners who make most of their profit on concessions.
  2. WB still owns a 25% stake - the same it held when JL came out in 2017. Since January 2010, Rotten Tomatoes has been owned by Flixster, which was in turn acquired by Warner Bros. in 2011. In February 2016, Rotten Tomatoes and its parent site Flixster were sold to Comcast's Fandango ticketing company.[10] Warner Bros. retained a minority stake in the merged entities, including Fandango.[1]
  3. If he wasn't given those outrageous budgets he'd have thought of other ways to make those films for less. The Silence went over budget but he still did it for $50m. He can save cinema without paying DiCaprio & DeNiro 50m+ and maybe ask Nolan how to plan a budget.

  5. It was probably in the works for awhile but they don't have enough content for that price outside of Apple devotees
  6. NYC reportedly has 200 or so movie theaters - many are small specialty theaters or parts of museums. I have (or had - can't find it) a grid of 87 theaters where tracked films played but the most I ever counted showing one film was 69 for Endgame and that included several art house theaters and a couple on the fringe of Long Island. The overwhelming majority are in Manhattan. The Bronx with a population of 1.4m+ has TWO movie theaters.. Staten Island has I think 5. Brooklyn has 21 (but 11 are single screen/specialty for a 2.57m pop). Queens has about a dozen (2.25m) I've counted some of the larger venues in Manhattan (Lincoln Center, Empire) when we've had blockbusters but overall the most I've done city wide is tally amounts of screens and count sellouts and near sellouts. The last time I did this was for Endgame. Counting has become a bit easier since Fandango now lets you see the seating chart and what's filled without having to go through pretending to buy a ticket for every damn showing. But still, yes I'd have to be insane to count them all.
  7. I love the entire soundtrack and score but my favorite by far and the one that chokes me up along with the visuals -
  8. The Little Mermaid signaled the rebirth of Disney animation and subsequent films built on that very positive response. Menken & Ashman were a gift but it wasn't just about the music.
  9. I remember when early reviews came out that Moana's music was sub par. I'll wait and see though I'm not crazy about Pine's singing voice - not a lot of character there.
  10. Category fraud happens al the time. But in that case it's because it was Brando. They weren't going to have the newish guy go lead and Brando go supporting or put them both in Lead and cannibalize the vote. There's no competition for her in her own film.
  11. I find it amusing that the one film I've nailed over the last two weeks is Eras when I couldn't hum a single Swift song even under the threat of death.
  12. Nolan movies have a broader theater demographic than Scorsese thanks to Batman and Inception - many of whom don't care about that run time or how it affects their sleep or work the next day. Then there was the Barbenheimer effect ... Maybe Marty should have opened it against The Marvels - could have helped both.
  13. It also had relatively small Thur previews and didn't play Mon-Wed
  14. The big names actors took significantly less upfront for a bigger back end %. Nolan's upfront salary was the biggest above the line cost by a significant margin. This movie was initially budgeted for streaming so it's typical to pay more upfront than usual because there are no back end deals for actors. Though that might have changed with the planned hybrid release. Reportedly though Leo got paid $30m (as he did for Don't Look Down). DeNiro $22m, Gladstone $5m with every one else under $1m. Scorsese at $15-20m. So at least $80m just for above the lines costs. Then there's $5m for the book rights. Still he could have filmed it for far less - ditto The Irishman. Hugo was budgeted at $100m and he blew past that to $155-170m with no stars.
  15. Marvel was an independent studio with it's own financing. Paramount was the distributor but they were never in charge of production. The deal for Paramount to distribute IM2, CAP and Thor legally still held after the Disney acquisition/merger but Marvel was under Disney control.
  16. I’m only including the MCU movies from Avengers onwards, including the Holland Spider-Man movies. @Eric Mouse Disney bought Marvel Dec 31, 2009. IM2 skirts the boundary but while Paramount distributed IM2, CA:TFA and Thor under prior contacts the later two were full on Marvel under Disney productions.
  17. Not me. But then I forgot what Friday the 13th does to horror at the B.O.
  18. Yes and in the midst of that Leo movies opened to Great Gatsby: $50m, Revenant $40m & OUAT: $40m Only Gatsby had any significant prior name/IP recognition. Granted KOTFM is 206m but none of these were short films - all clocking in around 160m Ticket prices have also gone up 20%+ just in the last 4 years so even with say 20-25% fewer show times that his previous films and less interest $30m+ doesn't seem out of hand.
