What does charging advance mean? Like theaters have to pay money to Paramount in order to play the movie?

Well Ghostbusters is on the week before the 19th, and I doubt Sony wants their two biggest tentpoles back to back. And honestly, I feel like Venom is in the most comfortable position out of all the October movies since its 18-34 male audience has been the most reliable demo for the year. Dune's on HBO Max, so it'll only open to like 30M, Bond skews towards adult audiences who just haven't come out to the theaters yet, and Halloween Kills always seemed like a film that would drop like a rock from its predecessor (I was predicting like a 35M opening even back in 2019, but I know I'm in the minority on that one). I do think a January 2022 date would be beneficial to the movie however, especially because it'll ride the NWH coattails

Literally two days ago, my parents were asking me when Top Gun 2 was coming out. It's the one movie they're both excited about. Gonna be fun when I tell them it got delayed again lol

I've been staring at this headline for two minutes and I'm still confused

Well I guess this is a twofer. July Praying with Anger - 5/10 National Treasure - 7/10 - I completely forgot Christopher Plummer is in the beginning and it gave me so much joy. Also the young version of Nicolas Cage is played by the brother from Hannah Montana. That's just weird. Wide Awake - 3/10 Superman - 10/10 - Black Panther aside, your MCU/DCEU fave could never. The flying scene between Superman and Lois honestly brought a tear to my eye and is up there as probably one of the greatest moments in film history. Summer of Soul - 8/10 The Sixth Sense - 10/10 - Favorite movie? Yeah, this is my favorite movie still. Shit's immaculate Unbreakable - 9/10 - Was a bit lower on it on a rewatch, if only because of how the movie ends. Twist is amazing but it just kind of...stops, and does the weird biopic text deal. Feel like one more scene at the end would have made the film better. Ishtar - 4/10 - This is seriously a hidden classic to some folks? Signs - 7/10 The Village - 8/10 Who Framed Roger Rabbit? - 10/10 - It's hilarious how Bob Hoskins is able to act against nothing better than any other actor working today. Pig - 7/10 Black Widow - 7/10 Turner & Hooch - 6/10 - Did not expect to see Tom Hanks bulge here. Lady in the Water - 6/10 - I vibed with it, fuck you. The Visit - 3/10 - Shyamagod really should not do found footage again, since he can't do any of the weird, funky camerawork that people love him for. Bonkers to me how this is considered one of his better movies. Pretty Woman - 8/10 - If you take out the unnecessary rape scene from Jason Alexander, I would have been all over this. Either way, this is sooooooooo delightful. Like a warm blanket. Ain't Them Bodies' Saints - 5/10 Old - 8/10 Pete's Dragon - 8/10 - Another warm blanket movie like Pretty Woman. And like Pretty Women, this also would be so much better if you took out the bad guy. Ah well. The African Queen - 8/10 A Ghost Story - 8/10 - Would have been up there as one of my favorite movies ever if you took out that dude from the party scene that just explained the entire theme of the movie. It's like David Lowery assumed the people watching it were stupid idiots who don't know how movies work. Wanted to do the rest of Shyamagod's filmography, but I didn't have the time that I wanted to. Of course I already seen and loved Split and Glass, and the other movies I'm sure I'm not missing much (I know some of you dweebs like The Happening, but the idea of watching Mark Wahlberg for 90 minutes makes me want to barf. I could barely get through seeing Mel's disgusting face in Signs. Sorry!). August The Green Knight - 8/10 Boy Meets Girl - 6/10 Holy Motors - 10/10 - Watched this two days in a row, the second time with my best friend. I feel it's one of those movies that works best when you watch it with somebody and you discuss your own interpretations on the film, because a lot of issues, mainly the Kylie Minogue sequence, I had on a first watch went away when I talked about it with my buddy. Now I'm in the masterpiece camp and adamant Denis Lavant gave the best performance of the decade. Vivo - 7/10 - Okay, maybe now I'm starting to understand where Lin haters are coming from...that's a lie, Lin is still an absolute genius and his haters smell. Peter Pan (1953) - 5/10 Jungle Cruise - 4/10 Free Guy - 6/10 - Oh boy oh boy, this is one of those "perfectly disposable and harmless, but weirdos act as if it's an affront to humanity" kind of flicks. God I can't wait for that nonsense to end in like...two weeks. Respect - 5/10 The Country Bears - 6/10 - Hard to say that it's good, but my best friend and I were laughing our asses off the entire time. It's such a bizarre hot mess of a film that I implore anybody who loves watching bad movies to give it a look. You will not be disappointed. Cool World - 1/10 - Might just be the worst movie I've ever seen in my entire life. There is literally nothing redeemable or entertaining about it, even under an ironic, "let's riff on it" that I expected it to be. Short Term 12 - 10/10 - I wish Brie Larson could take care of me Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings - 7/10 The Night House - 6/10 Children of a Lesser God - 8/10 Candyman (1992) - 9/10 Field of Dreams - 8/10 Candyman (2021) - 6/10 Annette - 4/10 - Simon Helberg is sooooooooooo hot in this. Stillwater - 6/10 Ever After - 7/10 - If there's anything good to come from this new girlboss Cinderella movie dropping on Friday (seriously, that monstrosity looks like it was purposely designed to piss me off specifically), it prompted me to watch this. It was cute!

@CoolioD1 very curious to know who you've been spoiled about lmao
