This was alright. It was basically an extended episode of the show, even down to a lot of plot threads that feel unresolved. Of course, at the same time, there's nothing wrong with an extended Sopranos episode, and there's a lot of great character moments in here. The big sticking point though is how muddy and washed out the cinematography is, particularly in the nighttime scenes. It's a real stark contrast to how gorgeous the show was back then.

Well, we have something to talk about. There's also numbers from the holdovers, Addams, and Newark to chew on.

No spoilers, but the Craig films work best if you see Casino Royale prior. And either way, Casino Royale's one of those movies that's so amazing that it's good to watch whenever. Easily my favorite of the Bond films I've seen so far.

Well now we don't have anything to talk about since we already discussed and argued over Bond predictions.

So it's almost 5 on the East Coast and we have a potential 90M+ opener, but Deadline just...doesn't want to update the numbers? Do they not want clicks on their website? This is garbage!

Barbara Broccoli said they weren't planning to do any streaming shows or spin-offs with the new Bond titles. Of course I'm still not convinced she'll keep to her word. You know Bezos is breathing down Eon's neck to make a Moneypenny show for Amazon or whatever.

I mean folks like keyser have their presales data looking fairly spread out from day to day, and all us trackers have seen strong data for the movie. I have a lot of concerns for future adult-oriented releases like Last Duel or Gucci or West Side, but I feel confident in saying Bond will be the exception to the rule for this demographic, and less than 70M and/or less than 9x preview:OW ratio would surprise me at this point.

Got the Fandango notification that Halloween Kills ticket sales are up. Before folks ask, yes I'll be tracking the long-term.

Just because it's getting a lot of marketing doesn't necessarily mean that the marketing is effective. If anything, it could be a case where Disney sees internal tracking not being so hot and are just spamming more ads to try and boost awareness and interest.
