    Death on the Nile was overshadowed by Uncharted, it was amusing to see Kenneth Branagh promoting Belfast with a bit of 'oh, Death on the Nile is out next month'.

    Given how it fared OS, the numbers for Gran Turismo aren't too surprising. I think Sony just had no clue how to market it and I suspect even without SAG AFTRA being on strike, the cast wouldn't have increased awareness by much.

    With The Equalizer 3 out next week, the chances are looking slimmer by the days.

    Inside the Magic you would think would be more supportive.

    I think had Kraven been delayed to February, it would be seen as a strike delay but a 10 months delay is giving me turd vibes. I still don't know why Lionsgate keeps delaying White Bird, that movie was completed in 2021, no amount of publicity from either Helen Mirren or Gillian Anderson is going to save that film.

    In the case of Ghostbusters, the December date was always a bit tight and Kraven's massive delay suggests Sony wants to do reshoots to salvage it and the strikes gave them the perfect reason.

    Pixar has more than paid for itself just from Cars merch alone, likewise with Marvel. Fox will take a while to be profitable but it will in time.

    Sunshine and lollipops as always... 🙄

    The contract extension is only until 2026, more than enough time for a turnaround and find a successor.

    I would imagine things will go into hyperdrive once the strikes are over. The idea that they'll be nothing in those quarters is daft because that won't happen like at all.

    The video game industry is in a much better position than in the 1980s mostly due to the fact the big players are Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft as well as the likes of Activision Blizzard and EA.

    I dunno, this year we've seen a lot of movies suffer because there has been little breathing space and probably a delay here and there isn't going to have a huge impact. WB for example shot the majority of their 2024 films in 2022 and the first half of 2023, the only thing they have that was shutdown is Beetlejuice 2 which could make its release date since it's not until next September, Juror Number 2 which being a Clint Eastwood film probably was close to wrapping and Twisters which is only half their film.

    I'm surprised Dune is only delayed until March, I really thought they'd go for May.

    TBF it made sense at the time as Netflix was dominating the market, the biggest mistake was pricing it so low. I think WBD pricing what is now Max at $14.99 is a genius move in hindsight. The internet always get mad at CEOs, this idea that if we get rid of rich people, the world will be a better place is both unrealistic and frankly stupid. There's been rich people since the days of the Romans.

    It does but it's not going to cause the industry to collapse and die.

    I would point out the reason the video game industry collapsed in the 1980s was due to poor quality games being rushed out to market, it's not a like for like comparison to what's happening to Hollywood right now.
  17. Jonwo
    The idea that Hollywood or the film and television industry will collapse is nonsense anyway.
  18. Jonwo
    No it won't, stop with the hyperbolic trolling.

    I fully expect the AMPTP to concede sooner rather later because dragging into next year just invites political and investor intervention.

    I don't get why it's so difficult to not leak proposals to the trades. Just have a blackout period.

    TBH 2024 was always unlikely, it's too much financial pain for everyone.

    Barbenheimer basically made cinemas their nut for the years, everything else was a bonus.
  23. Jonwo
    I wonder if the move both a week earlier and a Sunday is due to The Equalizer 3? I think Sony would want that to sell at full pricing whereas they don't care as much for GT.
  24. Jonwo
    Also it'll be the first solo Superman movie with a new actor in over a decade. Some people on here love to revel in the doom and gloom and it's really grating.

    And to think, people were signing Pixar's death warrant when the OW numbers were released.
