  1. @WrathOfHan @Eric in Boots Don’t forget about The Devil Conspiracy, Samuel Goldwyn Pictures’s January 13th wide release about satanic biotechnicians trying to give Jesus’s DNA to the devil and the priest possessed by the archangel Michael trying to thwart their plan!
  2. I’m proud to report that my town’s Regal has the film listed as releasing on January 13th, so this film is, in fact, getting a wide release. The question is, how will it do? Probably not too well, especially because MEGAN, a more popular horror film, releases the weekend before it.
  3. Delayed to Wednesday, February 15th. https://www.firstshowing.net/schedule2023/
  4. Listed as releasing wide on firstshowing.net; it’s about a music producer, and I don’t really understand why it’s getting a wide release, that would be interesting to find out…
  5. @Agafin @AN9815 @Cap @DAJK @The Dark Alfred @Eric in Boots @Ethan Hunt @Fancyarcher @Gokai Red @Goldenhour36 @Morieris @M37 @NannerManCan @Reddroast @Shanks @YM! @ZeeSoh SEASON SUMMARY Here's where I'll provide voting information and coin information. I didn't keep track of coin totals so that part of the summary will be spotty in parts. In fact, I will skip coin totals for now and then add them on a later date, and I'll tag you guys in a separate post when they're up. Episode One: "You Ain't Got No Skill" Episode Two: "Bros Before Rows" Episode Three: "See You Later Alligator" Episode Four: "Boo!" Episode Five: "Nothing But Heartache" Episode Six: "Tárred Lighting" Episode Seven: "Swashbuckle Swagger" Episode Eight: "Box Office Forever" Episode Nine: "He Said She Said" Episode Ten: "Up in the Air" Episode Eleven: "What's In The Box" Episode Twelve: "Beware of the Grinch" Episode Thirteen: "Finale" My Ten Favorite Moments About Next Season
  6. Guess what, my Regal cut The Menu for this weekend and what’s more, it’s also cutting Strange World. That’s exactly what I thought—theaters cutting it to focus the audience onto Puss in Boots.
  7. Popping in to say that the season rundown will come in either tomorrow at the earliest, before Christmas at the latest!
  8. @AN9815 @DAJK @ZeeSoh DAJK: Mwa ha ha! I'm Emperor DAJK-patine. ZeeSoh: Time to lose, AN9815 Skywalker. AN9815: Bring it on, Darth ZeeSoh! (AN9815 and ZeeSoh duel with lightsabers.) DAJK: Yes! Let the hate flow through you! >:D AN9815: No! I'm a good-natured character! DAJK: Then DIE! (DAJK shoots lightning bolts at AN9815.) AN9815: Ouch! DAJK: Un-li-mi-ted POWER!!!!! ZeeSoh: No... NO! DAJK: Wait, what are you doing, no– (ZeeSoh tosses DAJK off a cliff!) DAJK: Ahahahahahhahahahah~ (ZeeSoh collapses.) AN9815: ZeeSoh! You did it! ZeeSoh: I suppose the deed is done... (dies) AN9815: Darth ZeeSoh! Nooooooo! SLAM!: Good game everyone! Here's the results:
  9. We, uhh, straight-up didn’t get a teaser for this. I would’ve thought Universal would put a trailer for this in front of Avatar. Oppenheimer got one, and that’s releasing two months after this. Is Fast X still releasing on May 19th? Maybe they’ll attach a trailer to Puss in Boots…
  10. I’m the lobby guy, I’m the one letting folks in… …in fact, Disney isn’t allowing Regal employees to use their monthly free tickets to see Avatar for the first week or two. Disney did the same thing with Black Panther. 😑
  11. Another Theater Report - Some customers are seeing Avatar in IMAX (and in general) without realizing that their showtime is 3D! - People show interest in the Creed III poster!
  12. I will say, because this is a good thread to say it, that I recently watched The Company of Wolves, which was Neil Jordan's second film he ever directed. That was a fantastic film. It's the only Jordan film I've seen, but from that film and his filmography, I see that Jordan has definitely earned his place in the industry. He's a rare jack of all trades, too, because he's approached a lot of different genres—fairy tale, vampire, drama, thriller, and now mystery. If I see Marlowe for any reason, it's because of my curiosity about Neil Jordan as a director.
  13. https://www.firstshowing.net/schedule2023/ Releasing wide on February 3rd, 2023 according to firstshowing.net; counterprogramming against Knock at the Cabin and 80 for Brady
  14. That moment when you’re taking an early look at next January’s Sundance film and you encounter a film that a) already has a U.S. release date, and b) has a premise that begs to be experienced in a theater! We’re talking about a film that criticizes [what I assume to be] arranged marriage, not by traditional means, but through the means of martial-arts action! And you already know that Focus Features is dropping this in a multiplex near you because they have that deal—they can do a one or two week theatrical release and drop it on VOD immediately after! This film hasn’t even premiered at Sundance yet and I already know it deserves a thread. - directed by Nida Manzoor (We Are Lady Parts) - starring Ritu Arya (The Umbrella Academy)
  15. That’s a very good point! Just the time alone is going to restrict the amount of showtimes that every movie on the board is able to maintain. It’s very tight this year because of the length of all these films. But I do believe that theaters have a desire to maintain notions of moviegoers having “options.” I’m stoked to see what happens.
  16. I want to make a theater report. So we have this massive blockbuster Avatar in multiplexes now, and if the multiplexes are giving lots of screenings to Avatar, that inevitably means other films will lose their space in the theater. There’s certain films that will stick as “alternate options” to Avatar and certain other films that are getting the boot, right? Out of my town’s three multiplexes, the Regal where I work is the harshest cutter of the bunch. So if a film sticks in the Regal and has multiple showings there, that’s a decent sign for the film’s longevity. And we’re in primetime Holiday season, meaning these films might be able to scrounge up some decent holds by virtue of clinging to their theater space. Not counting the films with just one showtime (cuz at least for Friday, those showtimes are in the discouraging boonies of 9:30 am and 11:00 pm anyway), the films sticking around with four or more showtimes in my town’s Regal are: - Violent Night - Strange World - The Menu - Black Panther: Wakanda Forever - The Fabelmans (!!) That’s only five films counterprogramming against Avatar at the theater. And regardless of each film’s specific situation, the fact that they’re in a position to potentially counterprogram this Holiday season is very important for their future potential at the box office. And what’s more: most (if not all) of these films will stick during the Holidays because there’s only three other movies releasing in theaters next week, those being Babylon, Puss in Boots, and Whitney Houston—when in seasons past, the Holiday season would introduce many more films than just three, right? So the fact that it’s only three means there’s a larger window of opportunity for those five holdovers to stick! Of course, the reality is that those three films will likely be given as many showtimes as possible, especially when it comes to Puss in Boots. The demand for showtimes for those three newcomers means less showtimes for the old films, and I could see one or two of the holdovers getting cut to make space. If theaters are courageous enough and needy enough, I could see them cutting Strange World to put the attention of the kids/family audience solely onto Puss in Boots, in which case Strange World, devastatingly so, would lose out on utilizing the Holiday legs that, back in 2013, made Frozen’s run so phenomenal. And theaters might be like, “do we really need The Menu? I mean, do we really need it?” All in all, I’m keeping an eye out to see which films are cut and which films manage to stick. I suspect that in the undercurrents of Avatar’s wake, this weekend and its following weekdays will be pivotal in regard to which holdovers maintain enough Holiday screenings to make a play for igniting those Holiday legs.
  17. @AN9815 @DAJK @Fancyarcher @ZeeSoh Shortly before the tribal... Fancyarcher walks up to ZeeSoh. Fancyarcher: Hey, can we talk for a minute? ZeeSoh: What's up? Fancyarcher: I want at least one of me and AN9815 to make it to the finals. Just cuz we're best friends an all. But I want you to pick AN9815 because I think I have a better chance to win. ZeeSoh: Uh... Okay. Fancyarcher walks out. DAJK walks in! DAJK: Let's... Discuss something. ZeeSoh: Okay? DAJK: I want to battle Fancyarcher. Now's the time to split up that duo, and now's the time to get a big threat out of the game. It increases both of our odds at winning! What do you say? ZeeSoh: Hmm. Sounds convoluted. But all right. DAJK: Please doing business... 😈 DAJK walks out. AN9815 walks in! AN9815: Hey, I want to tell you something. ZeeSoh: Go ahead. AN9815: I challenge you to not pick me! The way I won that race on my bike, I know I'm great at challenges! So save Fancyarcher and let me play the challenge! I'm hungry for this! ZeeSoh: Uh... AN9815: See ya! ZeeSoh: Wait– AN9815 runs off. ZeeSoh sighs. ZeeSoh: What am I going to do... ****** SLAM!: Welcome to this season's FINAL TRIBAL COUNCIL SLAM!: Let's get right to it. ZeeSoh, please stand in front of everyone and reveal your decision. ZeeSoh: Hey guys. I've done a lot of thinking and I've taken everyone's statements into account. For my game, I've decided to save...
