    Jonathan Cavendish who now runs a production company with Serkis is their son - which explains the choice of project. 

     

    It's a great true story even if the trailer looks a bit conventional.

     

    On a completely petty note - Andrew Garfield's hair continues to look ridiculous - the man was a recently former army officer.  Get a haircut Andy.

     

     

     

     

    You hush your mouth. His hair is absolutely gorgeous.

    Probably for the best, I'm guessing their main focus is The Florida project now, or is it Lady Bird?

    There haven't been many reviews out yet, but Lady Bird, at least to me, feels like a frontrunner. The storyline sounds less esoteric and more conventional than Florida, aka more accessible to voters, and A24 successfully launched Room and Moonlight with a Telluride premiere. Though DaFoe will definitely get into the Supporting Actor. Not as confident with Ronan, but she's not out for the count.

    Posting this here because this thread has the most traffic at the moment: My mom and I were just debating whether daytime audiences or nighttime audiences are worse at movies because of my experience today with annoying ass seniors. In your experiences, what time of the day has worse audience members?

    Daytime. At least in my area, the crowds are smaller during the day, meaning there's less annoying people. The only times I do nighttime shows are when I'm scheduling something with my parents or if it's a kids movie (daytime shows have more kids, and kids in general in movie theaters are the worst, so I try to go to later showings).

    Lionsgate’s action comedy The Hitman’s Bodyguard will earn the No. 1 slot easily with $10.1M over four-days this weekend, the only summer pic to hold the top spot for three weekends in a row this season. An easy feat, because there’s zero competition Last night, the Ryan Reynolds-Samuel L. Jackson pic drew $1M at 3,377 locations for a two-week running cume of $44.7M. Today is expected to bring in $2.2M. Cume by EOD Monday will be $54.8M.

     

    Out of the fresh limited crop, Imax’s presentation of the Marvel TV pilot Inhumans looks to be the best as of this minute with an estimated $2.3Mat 393 sites over FSSM. They held previews last night in some locations. 

     

    The only title to preview last night was Sony’s 4K re-release of Steven Spielberg’s Oscar-winning 1977 sci-fi epic Close Encounters of the Third Kind which drew $95K at 809 locations that started at 7PM.  Close Encounters is playing at 901 locations, which includes 444 premium large format screens, and industry estimates currently figure that the Spielberg classic will make $2.1M in four days after a $585K start today.

     

    Weinstein Co. also has its period film Tulip Fever at 765 sites, however, the film was not widely screened for the press. Harvey Weinstein detailed the film’s path to the big screen in a Deadline column, a journey that began during his Miramax days.The film is crashing with a 6% Rotten Tomatoes score and a projected $1.4M four-day start. TWC’s Wind River and Leap! are faring much better with an estimated $4.2M a piece over the holiday. By Monday, Wind River in its fifth weekend should count a running total of $16.6M, which is behind 16% the running total of Taylor Sheridan’s scripted western Hell or High Water (final domestic $27M) from last summer.

    Also, Deadline tracks It at $60-66M

    And just in time for Halloween next year, there’s Hellfest from CBS/Lionsgate on October 12. Directed by Gregory Plotkin, it follows a costumed killer who enters a seasonal horror theme park on Halloween night and begins murdering with impunity in front of crowds. Only thing is, they think it’s all part of the show. Hellfest will open versus Universal’s Neil Armstrong biopic First Man, which stars Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy and was directed by La La Land Oscar winner Damien Chazelle.

     

    In 2018, we're having two movies about horror theme parks only 3 weeks apart. :lol:

    Summit Entertainment/Codeblack Films’ Traffikfrom director Deon Taylor and starring Paula Patton, Omar Epps, Roselyn Sanchez and Laz Alonso, will open wide on April 27. Patton plays an investigative journalist who, during a romantic getaway with her beau, encounters a gang involved in sex trafficking. Their weekend becomes one of survival as they’re caught in the cross hairs. Currently, the movie is the only wide release on its date.

    Plot summary:

    Quote

    Summit’s Uncle Drew from director Charles Stone III will debut on June 29 against New Line’s comedy Tag and Sony’s Sicario 2: Soldado. After draining his life savings to enter a team in the Rucker Classic street ball tournament in Harlem, Dax (LilRel Howery) is dealt a series of unfortunate setbacks, including losing his team to his longtime rival (Nick Kroll).  Desperate to win the tournament and the cash prize, Dax stumbles upon the man, the myth, the legend Uncle Drew (NBA All-Star Kyrie Irving) and convinces him to return to the court. The two men embark on a road trip to round up Drew’s old basketball squad (Shaquille O’Neal, Chris Webber, Reggie Miller, Nate Robinson and Lisa Leslie) and prove that a group of septuagenarians can still win the big one.

    So the trailer/Spot for Happy Death Day is playing before Taylor Swift's new music video. That video has over 25 million views in like 16 hours. It's gonna hit like 40 million views in 24 hours. 

     

    Whoever thought of that was genius especially with the tone of the music video having a death theme to it too. Will be interesting to see if it has an effect. 

    Aren't ads generated based on what a person's Internet history or searches are?

    Actually why didn't they go with Lerman? Did they think the choice was too obvious or what?

    I think he would be too old, at least for Homecoming (yes, I know Maguire and Garfield were pushing 30 when they were cast, but the creative team clearly wanted someone younger)

    Also I recommend seeing it in IMAX if you can spare the extra money, as I would with any 1.85:1 (16:9) movie as it fills the square IMAX screen, as opposed to most movies which are 2.35:1.

    Sadly, 'Murica won't get the movie in IMAX.

    Making that subtitle with the September releases made me think about how I could fit Kingsman in there (obviously I didn't). Honestly, I feel like marketing peaked a while ago. It is sucking up all the September buzz right now with a bit of mother! buzz sprinkled here or there, but I'm not seeing Kingsman pop up anywhere lately. Even American Made has more buzz than Kingsman because of reviews and being out overseas. Hell, if we go by Twitter numbers, even American Assassin is ahead of Kingsman. BOP might be pretty close with their prediction if Fox doesn't get marketing back on track.

    I feel glad I'm not the only one thinking the same way. Marketing and buzz feels non-existent. Yeah, the first trailer played in front of a bunch of movies, but there's nothing else happening.

    3RD UPDATE, Friday: As East Texas runs for cover from Hurricane Harvey and America plans their Saturday evening around Mayweather-McGregor, Lionsgate’s The Hitman’s Bodyguard will be lucky to crack $10M at No. 1. Currently it’s looking at $8M-$9.5M off midday estimates with a second Friday of  $2.6M-$3M.

     

    Weinstein Co.’s Leap! is the best of the new product, which isn’t saying much, with $1.7M today and $4.8M for the weekend. BH Tilt’s Birth of the Dragon looks to clear $1M today and then $2.75M over three. Sony Affirm’s All Saints is looking at $1M-$2M for the weekend at 846 sites. These figures could fluctuate wildly depending on the severity of Harvey.

    So with all those arguments yesterday over whether Blade Runner and The Star's posters are good or bad, Paramount laughs and releases this magnificent work:

    This NEEDS to be our background next month.

    I don't know. Something about the contrast feels off to me.
