Don’t feed the troll y’all

Must I bring this video up every time people worry about test screenings?

Like Crazy Rich Asians!), so I went for both. Either way...yeah, why did they put this out in August?

I've got faith in Beast as a nice summer ender with a decent 18/55 run, maybe even into the 60M range. There's always a market for these kinds of "man vs. animal" movies, especially if they have a name actor attached. The Shallows did 55M in the heart of summer with a similar premise and starpower, so why not this with zilch competition until Woman King?

That weirdo's gonna make this a looooooooooooong weekend, huh?

EXCUSE ME

Just know there's an alternate universe where Guillermo still directed this. And you know that Hatbox was going to be played by Doug Jones. NEVER FORGET WHAT THEY TOOK FROM US

Wait...they pushed it back? Why?

He's wrong tho

Well there's historical fiction, which uses real-life backdrops and events to tell fictional stories. And key word there is still "fiction". OUATIH and 1917 use fictional characters to tell a fictional story, but they just so happen to feature real-life figures and/or events. In that respect, yeah they are original and not based on anything. They're original in the same way Titanic or The Patriot are original.

It was nominated for Best Original Screenplay, unless you consider Sam Mendes' grandpa and his stories in the war as a source material I guess.

Honestly Paramount+ doesn't seem to impact legs at all. Lost City went to the service on May 10 and the following weekends consisted of the film dropping 39%, then 8%, then jumped up 34% (though that was mainly due to TGM double features), and then fell 33%. Sonic 2 came to the service on May 24, only fell 40%, then 30%, and only dropped 56% the following weekend when it lost 1,000 theaters to Jurassic. And sure they were a couple months ago, but that 40M was announced back in March, so even though the service probably jumped a good amount in subscribers, these movies still held up fine. P+ is arguably in the perfect sweet spot where it has enough of a strong subscriber base where it can launch hit shows and have their premier movies be a big deal, but not so big where it hurts the movie's legs at the box office. Could change of course as the service keeps growing obviously.

Feel like Mrs. Harris is doing quite well. It's going to at least match Hello My Name is Doris with how dead August is, which is quite good for a film reliant on the olds and with limited starpower. And I definitely get why, because it's absolutely lovely. I've been tempted to rewatch it in the theater in fact, which I never do.

My family has Peacock since they have Xfinity cable. Even on the premium tier, it's like the $5 bargain bin at Walmart equivalent of streaming. Most of their movies are random 80s/90s/00s titles you've already seen on Netflix/Amazon/Tubi already, and a good chunk of their TV shows are also shared with other services with more content. For what reason would I switch to Peacock to watch Frasier or Monk when they are already on Hulu or Amazon? Their original shows all basically have the vibe of rejected NBC pilots, both in the production values and casting. When your streaming service has Ed Helms starring in two different original shows, you know you're screwed.

Hope you're celebrating this holiday properly
