Yeah I do not remember that part, cheating on is wife and sleeping with actors I remember, quite different.

Iger hinted that these films won’t be released under the traditional Marvel or Disney banner. The company will make it an effort to ensure it is “carefully branding [R-rated films]…so we’re not in any way confusing the consumer,” Iger said. Always been my guess, the only important metric is that no Disney movie never do anything ever about anything, to be sure no one between 7 and 77 is ever offended, that you can bring everyone to a Disney movie without thinking, reading, looking anything knowing full well there will never be any moment of incomfort because an 8 year's old or a 75 year's grand mother old is in the room. If it is not branded has a Disney movie it does not matter, it is just that the movie business had a terrible ROI for Disney and a waste of money for them, now that franchise R-rated are a thing, they could be interested. Disney will not make / release R-rated movies, Disney own arm will.

Brian Singer movie is making $850m, The Upside was a Weinstein movie before being the Kevin Hart controversy and is doing very well like you said, Spotify most streamed song in 2018: Drake Post Malone XXXTENTACION J Balvin Ed Sheeran* If a Dog Purpose was a good world success despite it's target audience and the rumors about animal cruelty on set & video released timed with the movie opening, it is not unfair to suspect this will have very little effect true, specially considering how old Neeson movie audience is and world global.

Yes but I had to google to remember:

Vice storyline about the gay daughter was a somewhat important part of the movie (bigger than Crazy Rich Asian no ? I do not remember much), a Star is Born is probably because of the group of friends at the gay bar with the drags performer, that show up against later in the movie if I remember correctly. Anyway I am going on with their own list of what that very same organisation they called LGBT inclusive, I would imagine must have been eligible for that category, not someone else list.

Well there is also those voters choice because it is apparently the year with the most acclaimed at the Oscar lgbt inclusive title: https://www.glaad.org/blog/record-number-lgbtq-inclusive-films-nominated-best-picture-91st-annual-academy-awards More than half of Best Picture nominees this year were LGBTQ-inclusive. They included The Favourite, Bohemian Rhapsody, A Star Is Born, Vice, and Green Book. This marks the most LGBTQ-inclusive films that have ever been nominated in Best Picture category in a single year. I mean really good movie that were nice success like Green Book or divise but considered great by many like Vice movie to pick from. (I imagine The favourite is europeen production and not hollywood). The Girl in the Spider's Web got in I imagine because of the terrible producer's track record with sexual assault of A Star Is Born, because of Borap director, because of Vice subject matter/protagonist, because of Green Book writers/who the movie used has the lead, etc... etc.... Quality/quantity was quite high to pick from if they would have not looked at the behind the scene involved with the projects people.

Considering for how long the series has not been about street racing and about saving the world, it is a little bit strange....

I would assume gallup has good methodology (2016 with a random sample of –1,017— adults, aged 18+, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, Interviews are conducted with respondents on landline telephones and cellular phones, with interviews conducted in Spanish for respondents who are primarily Spanish-speaking, weigthed to match demography and phone usage status), the result show a significant gap between police respect-trust and race yes: But even among minorities it raised quite a bit and is the vast majority that have great deal of respect for them. You can click on the link, they breakdown by rural, urban, party line, race, age, etc... complete methodology: http://www.gallup.com/file/poll/196631/161022RespectPolice.pdf?utm_source=link_newsv9&utm_campaign=item_196610&utm_medium=copy

I am not sure you can bring Will Smith just by wanting him back like that too, specially with first one reception and the rumored asking quote he had on recent sequels (MIB, Inde-Day, etc...), it is really easy to get into this situation when not contractually locked big names are involved scenario: Could do it, but I would like to see a script first this time. - Well for us to pay millions and millions to develop a script we would like to know if you character is there first. That what caused the giant gap between the last two Damon Jason Bourne movie (including an attempt without him) according to Matt Damon.

I imagine you do not have read the piece ? The racist part is that we was walking around trying to get a situation were any black men would have started a confrontation with him, to kill him and feel some sort of revenge, because that killed random guy would have shared the level of melamin. Not because he wanted to kill the actual rapist.

Is it really most ? and if so is there anything special about the US ? Only two other institutions (the military and small business) of the 15 others measured this year scored higher than the police. Police do seem to be one of the must trusted and liked institution in the US. Confidence in Institutions: 2016 and 2017 June 2016 June 2017 Change: 2016 to 2017 % % pct. pts.

Some of the study about the common ingredient the usual song that became world hit and the result did sound exactly like Freddie voice singing Queen song yes. You are probably talking about the actual song record: https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/streaming/8489673/queen-bohemian-rhapsody-20th-century-most-streamed-song Most of the others in that list (like the Gun's and Roses, Take on Me) also feature a male lead singer with a voice that go in many different zone. Young generation become adult and all of them (maybe not in France) tend to explore Elvis (him and Johnny Cash had a nice run among the young in my market at least), not like the Beatles but still quite high. Country type of music tend to be much bigger than what can be perceived in the mainstream radio/tv.

I never seen WW gross being use in a calculation, domestic and/or the specific local market in question (how much France TV broadcaster pay you use France box office and so on, but smaller markets often rely on domestic) gross seem to be what is usually relevant. It could have changed a bit since the 2014 leak, all of it did seem quite old school borderline archaic, bonus table often stopping at 200m dbo, really big focus on the domestic performance and so on, felt something that could have been going on unchanged since 1996. Disclaimer: I did read maybe just 5-6 TV/streamers contracts deal from just the one same studio and never worked in the business, but it does match what you see in the accountant revenues estimates pattern also of most title and did sound quite copy-paste standard going on for a long time that could be pretty much the same from most outside Disney.

Some did look extremely strange like Rampage and got an explanation later on (simply stopped tracking on mojo for a while), I really wonder why for something like this, it is Disney after all they have the most powerful way to do it and this didn't needed some Wrinkle in Time level of push to do it. Could be, choose the times you do it because if you do it too much buyers will change the rules kind of type or theater chain will get fed up with it and they do it for more boderline/need the push title.

Usually yes, for example that how much netflix paid for Sony animated title calculation table: Domestic box office % of the BO rate Maximum in that range $0 to $10,000,000 32.50% $3,250,000 $10,000,001 to $15,000,000 28.00% $4,650,000 $15,000,001 to $25,000,000 23.50% $7,000,000 $25,000,001 to $75,000,000 19.00% $16,500,000 $75,000,001 to $100,000,000 15.00% $20,250,000 $100,000,001 to $125,000,000 10.00% $22,750,000 $125,000,001 to $150,000,000 5.00% $24,000,000 $150,000,001 to $199,999,999 - $24,000,000 $200,000,000 to + $25,000,000 200m insteard of 199.99m was $1M bonus from Netflix on the US market, it will change for every market contract but they all tend to have round numbers type of bonus occurring at different level (and major awards winner type of category). And that will add up over the year's for all the channels, platform and so on to be put in different category and in many markets (not just dom), lot of market seem to still use domestic (US-Canada) box office instead of their own for some strange reason to calculate that market tv/streaming value, could just be that the public reporting in their own market was not historically systematic and reliable enough to be used. At 100m the jump can be significant enough that you can see studio estimating the revenues if the movie reach 99.5 and a 100m in two different row. For example, After Earth At 90.0 domestic and 175m intl, 265m WW : Expected life time revenues from international TV: 50.01m At 99.5 domestic and 175m intl, 274.5m WW : Expected life time revenues from international TV: 50.01m At 100 domestic and 175m intl, 275.0m WW : Expected life time revenues from international TV: 55.54m At 110 domestic and 175m intl, 285.0m WW : Expected life time revenues from international TV: 55.57m And when they made case of exact intl and just more the domestic performance, it was pretty systematic to see jarring jump around some numbers, mostly 100m-200m. Elysium for an other example at 90M dbo it was a 40.44m on international TV, at 100M dbo at 47.17m at 110m going up only at 49.56m.

Hum... who are the challenger, what would count has unconventional for leading man on big budget fantastic/Sci-fi ? Sci-Fi/Fantastic tend to be quite open and not just the Chris Pratt/Cooper/Pitt/Affleck/Damon/Denzel very classic leading man type.

Good club and those 2 points ring true. 11 Star Wars: The Last Jedi BV $1,332.5 $620.2 46.5% $712.4 53.5% 2017 16 The Fate of the Furious Uni. $1,236.0 $226.0 18.3% $1,010.0 81.7% 2017 Last entry start not that far from each other either, a -4% on Star Wars and +4% on Fast&Furious give us 1,279 for SW 9 vs 1,285 for FF, so no jump at all needed here. I would have said yes rather easily at one time, but this make me pause, China BO: 2 The Fate of the Furious UPI $392,807,017 1 Furious 7 China Film $390,910,000 4/ Nothing came that close of Wolf Warrior 2 mindblowing 854m performance in 2017 last year either, will it really reach 1B oversea alone ? Not 100% sure, anyway should start with a +220 (if not 300-350) or so minimum in China giving it a good edge right there. Should be close, I will go............. OUT, fell like the conversation between Disney and Abrams, hey how much billions is there in play if we turn the climate around Star Wars ? Here your budget JJ, many much a lot.

The Spielberg and other Academy leadership that would call them is a different bunch of people than the voters. And the Streep, Hawks, Jolie (that is making a comeback on screen), Bullock, Denzel, Oprah, DiCaprio, Clooney, Pitt, etc... type that I imagine they would want have quite the nominations/wins resume.

If it is still on Netflix you should give Ex Machina a try, was going to recommend Drive was well but that a very much Gosling movie (would still recommend it to be honest, it is awesome).

7.0 is OTT high ?

I think critics 6.5-7/10 from the critics was right on the money there (7.0 on RT and 6.6 on MC), how much on 10 would you give it ?

Creating catchy song is an quite obvious quality too.

Maybe for OW, but for leggy run it is extremelly rare that the box office has nothing to do with quality. Yes audience want to have a good time, a movie achieving to deliver that is strongly correlated with what most subjectively can see qualities. If you cannot subjectively see qualities in a production like Titanic.....

The answer to that is maybe, a bit like being sure there will never be an other Gretzky in the NHL, it is not like people thought 200 points in a season was possible before he did it and I would imagine people in 1997 didn't thought a 1.8 billion movie was possible before Titanic either. A bit like Titanic, maybe it will need to be not fully free of pre-existing nothing (Titanic had not only Cameron but a rather famous world event for awareness). Avatar was not that far from Titanic level and not so long ago.
