    9/27 is still pretty empty, they can just move back a week. Doubt anyone goes head-to-head against Joker on 10/4 though, even as potential counterprogramming.

    This looks extremely goofy (feel like the trailer gives away too much at first, though it's reasonable to assume the revelation that Hartnett is the killer is early in the movie instead of a third act twist) but the concept is fairly unique. I'll see it.

    It's still really strange how no one has moved anything up to early November after Venom pivoted dates while we have Gladiator 2/Moana 2/Wicked crowded in that pre-Thanksgiving through holiday weekend frame. Those movies must be worried that they won't be around to enjoy the Christmas through New Year's stretch since everything released pre-Thanksgiving tends to be a goner by the time the avalanche of releases that usually fight for screen space over the Christmas frame arrive.

    Now going head-to-head against Wild Robot after being pushed back a week so I assume the latter is moving.

    that random double feature re-issue that was clearly meant to push MIB2 past $200M (and didn't succeed). That was still in 2002 though.

    I think IF looks cute? And Paramount's been marketing it quite aggressively, so maybe they think (or know) they have a winner on their hands. I could see it having a Wonder-esque run if the reviews/WOM end up positive.

    It seems reasonable to believe The Kents don't play that big of a role if their casting is being announced well into filming + the actors being of the lower-profile variety (as opposed to certified A-listers like Costner and Lane).

    I mean, he is, but his individual drawing power itself has always been iffy. La La Land was a smash obviously, but that was in the midst of The Nice Guys, Blade Runner 2049, and First Man all made less than what was expected from them. I'm not counting Barbie (or obvious ensemble films like The Big Short, for that matter) cause that was obviously its own phenomenon that will be impossible for even the inevitable sequel to duplicate lol.

    Boy Kills World is another movie where if the filmmakers had expected it to be a hit, they wouldn't have released it with that un-marquee-friendly title. I had to look up and see if it was based on a graphic novel or something, and lo and behold, I guess it is (a very obscure one, apparently).

    Yeah, I love both Gosling and Blunt as much as the next person, but calling them the "biggest stars on the planet" is definitely...stretching it. I've actually seen a lot of ads for The Fall Guy in recent weeks, but whether they'll be effective in getting people to buy tickets is remains to be seen. I think expectations on this might've gotten a little carried away after the release date upgrade (which I assume wouldn't have occurred had the strike not impacted the schedule) + inflated expectations from Barbenheimer.

    Probably became a casualty of the talent becoming too busy to immediately film them + COVID striking less than two years later. At this point any sequels would likely see a big dive in grosses now that the books are no longer as popular as they were six years ago.

    If this movie has a Nordberg equivalent I hope they cast another former NFL player. Gotta keep a tradition going!

    I just noticed via its lifetime total on The Numbers that this actually was the first time Spider-Man has been officially re-released in theaters since it original 2002 run. Kind of crazy for such a landmark and influential blockbuster. If the rest of the movies do even better (I've noticed theaters have already opened up additional shows for 2 next week) Sony will certainly bring this back leading up to the release of the next Tom Holland movie, hopefully as more than a one night thing.

    Universal has been pushing Abigail like crazy these past few days. Definitely won't be due to a lack of awareness if it doesn't hit double digits.

    Most theaters were showing it only once yesterday so it might've been a capacity issue. A $1,400+ PTA given such limitations is pretty huge. We'll see if theaters add more screens next week for 2.

    Will this cause as much manufactured drama as the Tom Holland West End version has? Only time will tell!
  21. filmlover
    I've always felt numbers in the Free Guy/Bullet Train area would've been more than acceptable for The Fall Guy. This was never, ever coming close to Barbenheimer numbers.

    I had to read the plot synopsis on Wikipedia as well. Assuming the movie is a faithful adaptation of the book, the "how was this made in 2024?!" discourse is going to be fuunnnnn.

    I have never liked Sasha Stone lol. Beyond the unintentional entertainment she used to provide during awards season before she went completely nuts. Her meltdowns during the 2010 season once it became obvious The Social Network wasn't the frontrunner and that The King's Speech was winning (a trip of a season already with Melissa Leo's iconic "Consider" campaign and the revelation that one of the sets in The King's Speech was previously used for a gay porno - look that story up lmfao) were legendary.

    Oh goddamnit But whatever increases the attention for Fellow Travelers is nothing but a good thing! Also Colman Domingo looking to be kept booked and busy post-Oscar nom, also nothing but a positive.

    Those have actually sold a fairly decent amount of seats so far too and they're three/four weeks away. The generation that's been growing up on the Holland films in theaters that weren't around (or were barely alive) when the Maguire movies were originally released were probably also too young to see the Garfield movies on the big screen when they were brand new movies as well (the second will be a decade old in a few weeks).
