No, you're right. I just forgot.

Yeah, I think 5M for Immaculate is a fine enough wide opening for a low-budget and divisive horror picture? A24 is considered Neon's cooler, more popular older brother, and it still hasn't opened any higher than 13.5M or something. Neon doesn't really have the clout or popularity among the youths just yet to really gross much of anything.. In fact, I think this is Neon's first wide opening ever?

This is why. AI's set to replace the hard work of artists and creatives, and even minor acts like artwork in the background has dangerous repercussions. You allow it one time for one movie, you let it happen for all other movies. I know I sound like a Luddite here, but this shit ain't good dawg.

Fun fact: 9 times out of 9, when somebody says "this is doing X or Y with no inbetween", it actually goes inbetween.

At my theater, Ghostbusters is only getting one IMAX show in the early afternoon, with the remaining times going to Dune. Can’t imagine that being much different elsewhere.

Ain’t this the one where they used AI art? Scummy stuff!

Also the gayest movie event of the year.

Moderatio Not the Ghosbusters RT thread

It's like Home Alone 2 where people only like it because they were 10 when they first saw it. It's the ground zero of all the other movies and all the same problems they share.

I mean it's only like 2 or 3 people doing this. Not really this huge cult following folks here are trying to parrot. And I'm still not sure why this is "strange", but go off I guess.

People can have opinions different than yours, hon.

This is why we're friends.

Busting makes me feel good!

Okay, I was fine with the epic trailer music of popular songs thing for a while. I defended the practice more than most. Arguably for years after everybody else vilified it...this is my limit. Harry Belafonte didn't die for this.

I mean Afterlife is one of the worst blockbusters I've ever seen (Yes, I probably think it's worse than that movie you hate), and all the marketing materials and trailers make this look just as awful. If every single sign points to me that I'm going to have a miserable time, including words from people whose job is critiquing movies, then...yeah, I'm gonna take that word and probably expect it to be bad. Besides, this movie only exists as a corporate product designed to sell toys. I really don't think this is the movie we need to shame others for because they looked at a Rotten Tomatoes score.
