Eric Loves Rey

They better get Joel Grey back as the Wizard, or else cancel the whole thing

That's Queen Cynthia Erivo for those not interested in clicking Instagram That's Queen Ariana Grande for those not interested in clicking

I think we're getting casting announcements soon

One last thing to promote before the previews come tomorrow and suck up all the attention. Just as a reminder to everybody that the Scorsese countdown is still up and running and is hungry for more submissions. I only have 7 so far, so you still have plenty of power to change the overall countdown. I'm hoping to get plenty more in the next few weeks, and while you have until the 28th to submit, there's no reason not to send something in this weekend. Read below for more details

Moderation We can talk about the RT score without dumping all over the movie or rooting for this movie to fail. @Lucas @iamjesuisiam We don't need your whole "let's goooo" or "the red capes are coming" memes. You're adults, so act like one.

Eternals Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report Final Count Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 4 83 5275 15110 34.91% Total Seats Sold Today: 1,622 Comp 0.695x of Black Widow (9.17M) 1.110x of Shang-Chi (9.78M) I mean my data and gut say 9.5M, but if others are seeing 10M, maybe things are underperforming. Who knows?

Oh man, I had such a long day today. I can't wait to put up the new weekend thread--SON OF A BITCH

Josh Gad and/or James Corden will probably play Doc or Dopey or whoever and I'm going to have an ulcer

Rachel Zegler. The girl playing Maria in the new West Side Story.

All I know is that NFTs are bad for the environment so I automatically hate them

So I'm compiling some stuff up to report on Sing 2 later tonight (I know, I know), but I found something really weird with Clifford that I want to vent about. So I assumed it would just be a regular Wednesday release, but there are "Early Access" shows on Tuesday. You would think it would serve as previews, or just like one showing at 7. But instead, it's just...a whole day of showing. These "Early Access" shows start at like 12. What kind of lunacy is this? These aren't previews are "Early Access" or any of that kind of crap. This is deadass a whole day's worth of showtimes, starting at like noon and shit. I don't think there's any discounts either, outside of chains that do $5 Tuesday or whatever. What jackass at Paramount put in all this pomp and circumstance for just a regular day of showtimes? Just grow some balls and debut the film on a Tuesday and not make me waste my time tallying up two days' worth of tickets (you know these "Early Access" sales will get rolled into the Wednesday OD). What a bunch of donkeys! Okay, my first world problem venting is over. You can all now debate about Eternals.

Moderation I really hate that I have to log in and see this as the first thing this morning. We're not doing this Fanboy War stuff and trying to pit all these dumb children's movies made by people richer than we will ever be together. There's zero point to start these moronic, idiotic fights, and everybody here knows it. You're adults, so fucking act like one.

Just realized something I forgot to mention last night: Ghostbusters: Afterlife is having some IMAX Early Access screenings. It doesn't seem as widespread as No Time to Die was (I only have three of my theaters doing this), but I wanted to throw that out there for those who are busy tracking it.
