Mah boi, we've been friends for how many years now? You know this is important to me! 😠 This is Timothee's world and we're all living in it. 🤩 I saw Dispatch last night. There was like one Old couple, then a few 30/40 somethings, and a whole group of 20somethings around my age. This definitely benefits from Wesley having young Film Twitter dorks like me on its side. Don't know if PTA has a "brand" like Anderson does, but I feel the youths are in his corner too for Licorice Pizza...maybe?

Honestly for me I...don't get the PLF hype? Outside of the fact that I'm a cheapskate who doesn't like paying extra, I can watch a movie just fine even if it's in a crummy projection area. I saw Shang-Chi in IMAX and it didn't really change anything for me (though I'm aware that's probably a case of just the movie or something). And really, if you think you absolutely need to see a movie in IMAX or whatever to get out of something, I feel like that says to the movie that it can't stand on its own and that it's not entertaining unless you get some extra bells and whistles. I'm seeing Dune later today, and despite everybody saying how it must be seen in IMAX and I will miss out on so much without IMAX...I'm just going to the 2D show. If I need to see a movie in a PLF in order to like it, then it says to me maybe the movie isn't very good or holds up on its own.

Jackass Forever | Paramount | February 4, 2022

Since the release of Old, I have gotten the trailer at that, Night House, Candyman, The Suicide Squad, Malignant, Many Saints of Newark, No Time to Die, Titane, and The French Dispatch. Probably forgetting one or two times on top of that. My pain will never end. -
This was truly phenomenal. Every segment has some of the most outlandish and inventive setpieces and designs Wes Anderson ever created, and the film as a whole serves as a beautiful look into journalism and storytelling that I just ate up like candy. It's a pity there's such a measured response to it, because this is an all-timer in Wesley's filmography.

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

Moderation Guys, the discussion on budgets and whether some movies look better than others has no place in this thread. If you want to argue with one another, do it in PMs or something. -

@CJ #BringBackSadAffleck is saved. May you use his sorrow for mirth.

I know I have my biases, but in its old December '20 date, I strongly believed in Tron: Legacy numbers, both in opening and total, was a decent possibility for this, even though everybody else said otherwise. The starrier cast would have also probably helped the movie perform better OS than Tron too. 450-500M WW would be stunning for a franchise starter like this, and with it supposed to reach 300M now, where everybody else was saying it would never reach, I don't think we should just go all "oh it's not that great" for this.

Oh we're not doing this revisionist stuff here. All of y'all were saying this was going to be a megabomb of epic proportions. Everybody was saying that the film was doomed forever because of HBO Max. But now despite all the stuff going against it, we're suddenly about to poo-poo on an opening that most of y'all would say would be above average pre-pandemic? I know part of the reason is because the legs will be nonexistent (seriously, Jason Kilar has no excuse to make Dune and Matrix exceptions), but give me a break.

Sigh...here I was thinking they would be too big. I'll try and fix it in a little while
