It should be mentioned that Netflix is making a MJ biopic...only it's stop-motion and from the perspective of Bubbles. But again, if this is solid, I think a MJ biopic would be fine quality and box office wise. https://deadline.com/2017/05/bubbles-michael-jackson-chimpanzee-movie-netflix-cannes-film-festival-1202096715/ Frank Sinatra could also do decent, but the Sinatra estate hated Scorsese's treatment that focused on his Mafia ties, so that probably won't happen any time soon. I'd also argue a Whitney Houston movie would do well too. Iconic musician, interesting backstory, well-liked figure, compelling story.

Hard to know, considering we don't have many examples of movies with preview screenings. The Amazon movies (Jumanji, HT3, AQM) were Atom Tickets exclusive, while Spider-Verse did nothing to differentiate itself from regular showings and preview showings. The only good comp we have is Bumblebee. My dumbass didn't separate the preview screenings from the regular shows, but I remember them not selling a whole lot, or at least nowhere near as much as Dragon. Of course, those were in only a couple hundred, while this is in 1,000. So again, very hard to figure out. But it seems pretty solid either way. HT3 did around $1.3M for its Amazon previews, and I think that's a good benchmark for Dragon.

DO NOT QUOTE Glass 3,106 Glass' Monday is: 143% of Quiet Place's: 71.6M 471% of Hereditary's: 64M 219% of Equalizer 2's: 76.6M 202% of The Meg's: 91.6M 149% of The Nun's: 80.3M 240% of The Predator's: 59.1M 23% of Venom's: 18.3M 32% of Halloween's: 24.7M 200% of Bumblebee's: 43.3M (Xmas movie) The Halloween comp gives me pause, but this is still looking mad impressive. Dragon 3 Early 6,957 Captain Marvel 1,118

Wouldn't there also be a lot of months with nothing but dance rehearsals and choroegraphy practice that could extend filming? Still, I think it would also be a bad idea to have it out in time for Cats, even as a qualifying release. Maybe both can co-exist, and I'm probably overestimating Cats' appeal, but having two major Broadway musical adaptations out around the same time seems like a bad idea for both movies.

Filming is supposed to start in the summer, so I don't think it'll make this year. With In the Heights next year, 2020 will be the Year of Latinx Musicals

Shoulda gone with Chalabae instead. He's a year younger than Ansel, and he has singing experience. (Gimme that "Not Cool" reaction Coolio. I know you want to)

If Will Smith said "yes" to Matrix all those years ago and Wild Wild West was scrapped, we might have had world peace already.

You got a problem with cartoons?

The sweet smell of a good paycheck.

Do you know anything about Glass having a new Shazam trailer

lol

https://www.fandango.com/fandango-early-access-how-to-train-your-dragon-the-hidden-world-216542/movie-overview Fandango has preview screenings on February 2. I might just take advantage of this.

Because I didn’t know Daddy Hammer wears an apron. I’ll probably watch it on Tuesday

I feel like Avatar and Star Wars will take the December slots whenever one isn't appearing. Anytime an Avatar movie is not on, Star Wars will take its place. If the current slate stays this way, then 2022 will be vacant, and there will be a 3-year gap from IX. It's enough time where there will be less fatigue and a hunger for new Star Wars content. Although I doubt Disney will try to do "one a year", at least for the short term, so 2023 might go to another movie. So basically: 2020-Avatar 2 2021-Avatar 3 2022-Star Wars (The GOT guys or you-know-who #1) 2023-Mary Poppins: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor 2024-Avatar 4 2025-Avatar 5 2026-Star Wars (GOT guys or you-know-who #2 or #3 if they want to put one of the movies in summer 2024)

WOW at this Robin Sparkles erasure smdh

@That One Guy Over Sixth Sense is happening.
