Also from Deadline That Nightmare Before Christmas one is insane. Hocus Pocus' re-release was only slightly higher than NBC's Friday estimate ($1.61M). Good on this, even though it has no business getting a re-release in October. Sorry, but we as a culture need to stop pretending this is a Halloween movie. It's not.

It's a lot easier to make a "witty" 1-2 sentence review on Letterboxd and get easy likes, while IMDb basically forces you to say more than just a dated Film Twitter meme. Their climates are night and day basically.

Correct. Smart boy

Anyways, I'm gonna do the waiting game on tihs one before I say anything. If we get 30M+ (not impossible) or even high 20s, then I'll say we're fine. If we get mid-20s, I'll probably throw a few wisecracks at audiences and how undemanding they are. If we're low 20s or sub-20, then I'll do my usual spiel about NTCs (n*stalgic t*y c*mmercials) and how cinema is dying and how we're losing our culture and the usual doom and gloom. Gonna be fun!

Scorsese should have shown the trailer in Fortnite. Then you get the only moviegoing crowd left excited. Sadly half-serious here.

Been that way for a couple months now. I think Nun 2 and Greek Wedding 3 didn’t even have their audience scores up until Saturday. Not sure why this is a thing now. Maybe it’s server issues? But yeah, it’s very annoying.

Discuss

I mean even outside of the fact all these movies have gotten second trailers and are full steam ahead with magazine covers and the final stretch of ads, this seems unlikely. Like this isn't a COVID scenario. I already said why for Napoleon and Color Purple. Oprah's for sure gonna do some wacky sketch with Jimmy Kimmel. But also, without going too off-topic, it's probably in the best position of any of the other holiday movies this season in terms of awareness and hype and targeting the biggest current moviegoing market. Plus, frankly, it's the most Chirstmassy not-Christmas movie to ever exist since Greatest Showman. Like I can't imagine this resonating the same way in March.

Feel like you said that before, and nothing has happened that has indicated that anything would ever change. Especially when most of the movies coming out are either established brands with built-in fanbases (Marvels, Hunger Games, Wonka) or animated kids titles that don't really need the actors out there pushing it (Trolls, Wish, Migration). Even stuff like Poor Things or Saltburn seem unlikely, since they have big awards campaigns going on (not like these would make anything anyways, since they're not nostalgic toy commercials). Color Purple and Napoleon even have big household name producers and directors to put out into the press as well. They're all guaranteed to make less than they would in normalcy, but frankly the studios don't give a darn about theaters to begin with and would let them die for a quick buck if possible. January onwards though? I agree with you. Stuff like Night Swim and Mean Girls could easily be pushed to February or March, which in turn will push back the March movies, the summer slate, etc.

That's nice. That doesn't excuse you from immature and trollish behavior and clearly trying to bait people like Zatt and SpiderByte. I'm just asking you to be nicer to your fellow BOT member. That's it.

Could you please share this in the thread then? Because I don't see it on The Walt Disney Company's official web site, nor The Walt Disney Studios' website, like you say. All I see is this Deadline article which reports the following... https://deadline.com/2023/10/deadpool-3-release-date-change-actors-strike-1235577067/ "long shot" does not mean it's for sure confirmed to happen no matter what if you ask me.

Moderation Yeah @eddyxx we don't need this condescension or snark because of people's excitement and optimism over a kids movie. You're an adult. So act like one. Likewise @SpiderByte we don't need this passive-aggressive "BOT is out to get Marvel" schtick you do every time people aren't ultra super positive over Marvel movies. If you don't like this stuff, just ignore it. Thank you. If either one of y'all continue this further, you will leave me with no other choice but a threadban. Thank you.

Personal preference of course. Whatever your favorites are.

Like WB, I'm doing my FYC decade by decade, highlighting the more obscure features people may overlook. I don't think I need to FYC Bambi. You've seen it, you know it's good. FYC (The 1940s) I know this is a pretty famous film, but still one that deserves attention. Even compared to its sequel, there's no other film that's like this. It's a brilliant experiment combing the joy and awe and wonder of Disney animation with incredible music composed by Leopold Stokowski. Every animation segment is a delight, with Dance of the Hours and The Nutcracker Suite being my personal favorites, with even the intermission being wondrous material. It's an anomaly of cinema and it's all the better for it, frankly. It's an odd hodgepodge of a package feature. There's shorts themed around Latin American culture, there's musical numbers where Donald Duck and Brazil parrot Jose Carioca are hanging out in South America with live-action actors, a rooster named Panchito from Mexico takes Donald to Mexico where he tries to flirt with live-action women, ending with a surreal music video where everything goes off the rails. It's an absurd and surreal voyage through unique locales and vistas of South and Central America that I weirdly love despite being so disjointed. It's got gorgeous colors, great gags, educational in some parts, then teaches nothing in others. It's a film where it feels like it was made up as it went along, and I kinda love it for that. It's an amazing, unpredictable thrill ride where we see talented animators do what they do best. You don't see that even in some of Disney's narrative features and it's so much fun all throughout. Featuring two animated segments based on two classic pieces of literature, both are great on their own. The Wind in the Willows has some great animation and fun characters, with an amazing climax full of laughs and madcap wit,. It's a great goofy experience that is a stark contrast to the other segment. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is also a great time with great character designs and environments, with great atmosphere. The autumn mood is all throughout the picture and the climax with the Headless Horseman is a fantastic one. A perfect balance of comedic and terrifying that is a great introductory piece to one of my favorite horror stories ever. It's also a great watch with Halloween on the horizon.
