Those ones don't bother me as much. Ocean's 8 starts out with promise, but then it pulls the rug on you. That's way more offensive than just two characters in the wrong spot, because those never give you a promise.

Don’t have time to quote, but Deadline has a good read that talks a little bit about the potential fates for Searchlight and Blue Sky.
Still, fuck this deal.

A couple behind me whispered from time to time, and the women in front of me laughed, even at stuff that wasn't funny, but nothing terrible. Movie was fine, I guess.
Tracking for Ferdinand according to Deadline and Hollywood Reporterhas it at around $15-20M, which I think is about spot-on.
For recent comps:
Alvin 4: $14.2M
Museum 3: $17.1M
Annie: $15.9M
Alvin 3: $23.2M
Yogi Bear: $16.4M
I'm sure I'll have egg on my face when this happens, but this movie won't come out for 11 months. Even with a 32 day-long reshoot schedule, I'm pretty sure they can get this finished by the deadline.
Glad to see I'm not alone. I honestly feel the only thing that's really excellent compared to a lot of other comedies are Ray Romano and Holly Hunter's performances. Without them, the film's solid, but pretty much any other Apatow comedy.
MoviePass just made another partnership, this time with Costco and Fandor.
Interesting to see how big of a subscriber boost it will create.
