The trailer doesn't seem to be getting the insane amount of views that TBATB's trailers had in the first 24 hours. At least, I don't think it will come close to TBATB in non-English speaking countries.

Red Sparrow isn't under-performing because of MoviePass or else Death Wish would be over-performing. It is just that the bad reviews and Black panther are taking their toll on both new movies.

What the heck does the Rock being a busy actor have to do with rescheduling the movie?
Because he will have to promote it and he can't promote it if he is busy with other movies.

The Rock is a very busy actor so I am not sure if they will be able to re-schedule is that easily other than maybe move it up to 13th.

That's the problem though, she hasn't really. O. Russell is easily the greatest director she's worked with and, lo and behold, he's the one most responsible for her career success. Aronofsky has always been erratic and was coming off of the lousy Noah. Ross and F. Lawrence are just journeymen capable of nothing great. Tyldum is a hack, despite IG getting Oscar noms. etc. If J-Law actually got the Spielberg movie happening and a QT film, her career would look very different right now to the average person despite her very limited talent.
How many good directors have Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts or any other A-list actresses have worked with ? We keep having this discussion every few months but the fact is that good directors make movies with mostly male lead actors. Why should JLaw go for supporting roles just so she can work with them ?

I guess. But in general females wont be a draw unless old school rom-coms make a comeback and I doubt that'll happen. Bad news for the kate hudsons, meg ryans and katherine heigls of the world
This is a ridiculous post. Angelina Jolie was one of the biggest draws until she stopped acting in movies even though she never did any romcoms. Melissa McCarthy never did any romcoms and is a bigger draw domestically than pretty much any male actor other than maybe The Rock.
-
Fox should have gone with Fincher/Mara combination. It seems like that director and the scripts are the weak link. The lead role also seems to be in Rooney Mara's comfort zone.

I have a bit of an hard time following people in this thread if they are talking about dbo or OW ?
Biggest opening for non-sequel live action without a really strong IP:
American Sniper: 89m (still an american hero and helped by the limited release build up)
Passion of Christ: 83m (not sure how to rank Jesus in term of IP, I guess a bad example)
I am Legend: 77m (not that know of a book ?, really popular genre and peak Smith)
Avatar: 77m
That is pretty much all the live action movie that achieved 75m without being a giant franchise entry/sequel/book adaptation.
I suspect a giant opening over Ted/Martian/Gravity/San Andreas 55m could happen, but obviously it could do under 75m that would be an exceptional number.
That $75 million number was for DOM total. A $30-35 million opening with a stacked May lineup may easily result in under $75 million if this is a bad movie.
-
Jumanji was a super funny movie and had really good reviews but mainly it was a word of mouth movie. I can see under $75 million for rampage if the reviews are shit.

Just now, DAJK said:
Game Night and Annihilation are pretty neck and neck everywhere I look. Don't know if that means they would both do high teens or overperform, or both are gonna h derperform at 10-12
They will probably underperform because of Black Panther over-saturating the market.

She will kill her career if she really goes on hiatus following mother and this. Maybe she’ll make some kind of comeback in her late 30s or something with an acclaimed award type of role, but it will be an uphill battle for her to get those kind of roles and she’ll likely never be a box office draw again. I highly advise against the hiatus before trying to get another mainstream hit or two.
Most lead actors/actresses take a year or two off every now and then and it has no impact on their careers.

is there a thread for Fox's The Darkest Minds because Mojo is now showing it as a 08/03 release.

Man....if I reveal anything, it will go into spoiler territory. The whole plot and things certain characters do...will piss off hardcore Predator fans and even casuals might roll their eyes.
Oh and I think one of the human lead characters will be completely deleted from the movie OR replaced by someone else in the reshoots...not 100% sure whether it's this project or a different fox project...depends on how much cash fox wants to waste.
Woah. Who could the actor be and why ?

They could move Deadpool 2 into August now for less competition.
I think Deadpool 2 is going to Cannes. That's why they moved it up to May 18th.

Yeah....no. This hasn't shaped up well. Screenings at fox lot were extremely mixed. They are undergoing 3 weeks of reshoots to fix plot lines and remove some stuff that fans will no doubt hate. A Shane Black fiasco.
I saw on Mojo that The darkest Minds already has the September 14th date . Maybe they will move it up to summer.
-
Fox has moved both Alita and The Predator.
It is crazy that they have only one movie (Deadpool 2) scheduled for this summer.

Movie will happen for sure but this is a major blow to Tarantino's standing in the industry. A director showing poor judgement in a situation that can endanger his lead is a definite No-No. It doesn't help that he is also entangled with Harvey Weinstein.

Lots of actual info from the company itself...some of the more interesting pieces for box office...
1. They expect subscribers to TRIPLE by the end of this summer - so 1.5M to 4.5M (if you use the Jan 9 numbers - could be more if there were using numbers as of today) - not sure if they are planning another "push", but that would be sure to bump the BO of movies in that term...
2. They expect to more limit theaters and/or showtimes and/or actual movies at the "non-cooperative" chains if you read between the lines...AMC was mentioned (and Regal was also, for not commenting)...interestingly, Cinemark was not until the end...not big enough to matter as much as the other 2? Or not as against the company? And if a movie got excluded from the pass, that's gonna really hurt the bottom line for that movie as time goes on...maybe not the big, big movies, but the next tier down could get killed...
3. As of now, they estimate they have at least SEVEN months of cash flow, to cover super user use...they really are gonna play the "get on board" or "mutually assured destruction" game, b/c a full year of "cheap" movies will be an enormously tough habit to break...and since they will probably represent 15-20% of frequent movie goers by the end of summer (when in theory the money could run out)...the industry itself would probably crack if Moviepass ends without an immediate and equivalent replacement...
Gonna be crazy times for the next 7 months, whether you love or hate Moviepass...it literally will have the ability to have a bigger and bigger effect (both positively and negatively) on movie box office, individual and chain theater profitability, etc...
PS - I ignored some of their "throw it at the wall and see what sticks" ideas, but if you want more of all the different plans - read the article:)...
PPS - This felt like a "throw down" article...and if I'm AMC, I'd be speeding up my own subscription service asap, b/c it sounds like the 10 theaters dropped were only the opening gambit in hardball from Moviepass...and at AMC, you may not be able to weather a serious hit any better than Moviepass can, b/c you don't have speculative investors pouring money into you at will...
There is no "Mutually Assured Destruction". Moviepass with 5 million subscribers and no cash is not a threat to studios/exhibitors. People are not going to change their movie watching habits just because they have used moviepass for a few months. I was actually rooting for MP but it is becoming more and more obvious everyday that they don't have a sound business plan. For example, they want a share of the exhibition pie but they are not bringing anything (capital, investment) to the table. They are also growing too fast for their own good. Unless they can demonstrate that a few months of free movies has changed their customers' movie watching habits, why would you negotiate with them if you are an exhibitor ?

I don't think Moviepass has the leverage that the company thinks it does. They have less than 2 million subscribers and they want a cut from AMC. That's not gonna happen unless you have a lot more subscribers. I wonder why they couldn't wait another couple of years to make this move. Could they be running out of cash ? If AMC stops honoring MoviePass they are fucked as there are plenty of small towns in North America that don't have any other theater chains. It will also weaken their hand against AMC's rivals. Why should Regal pay them anything if AMC isn't ?

You talking about this? http://digitalcinema.bydeluxe.com (iirc, they used to list trailers attached to movies under a pdf called "TrailMix")
1 hour ago, WrathOfHan said:This and https://cinema.dcinema.com/default.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f are the two sites; they typically upload at the same time. The TrailerMixes stopped back in November after how popular they became to the general public; maybe we were a critical reason why
Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Anyone remember the name of the website that lists all the trailers attached to opening movies ?

I am not sure if they can make a good looking Dune movie for under $100 million. My guess is that the budget will be in the $150-200 million range. This is the sort of movie that can be helped by a big name actor or two.

They can re-shoot the entire movie three times over from now until August 2019.
