I don't think it really even matters who owns Fandango (apart from "no one" that is). They're in the business of selling movie tickets, for movies of every studio. If one of their own subsidiaries is showing signs of becoming a playground for organized efforts to adversely impact the sale of tickets for big budget franchise films, they're gonna have an interest in closing that off before one of these campaigns manages to have some discernible level of success.

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
Horner replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
Well it does say "we're hearing" without giving any hint or qualifier of who they're hearing it from. For all we know they're having an intern read some random reddit post aloud just so they could punch up the piece. -
Micronauts probably has the messiest collection of rights issues of any of Marvel's old titles. Hasbro has the rights to characters that were based purely on the toy line (like Baron Karza or Acroyer). Marvel has the rights to any original characters they created for the comic (like Bug or Captain Universe). And then the rights to some of the characters are essentially split (Marvel has the rights to Arcturus Rann but not his Space Glider persona that was based on one of the toys).

And that connection to Endgame is, so far, pretty much limited to the IW post-credit tease. CM's marketing hasn't touched on a connection at all while clearly pushing it as a prequel. The smattering of Endgame marketing hasn't touched on it either outside of leaked merchandise imagery. -
Hmm .. I just sent one to myself. Worked fine.

Horner replied to Neo's topic in Box Office Discussion
That's how it all got started, yes https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-47408969 Shazam will be fine though. The comments for the current trailers aren't locked. -

Yes, it's already started. I've seen some YouTubers already explaining why the comments have been disabled on their videos. Apparently YT is using some sort of recognition software that locks them based on the video thumbnail. -

Does the kill count involve a bunch politicians and a pee joke? -

I believe Fandango actually bought them a couple of years ago. -
One question is can you make a 6-8 episode series as CGI intensive as Alita would be on a little more than half of the current movie's budget? That's more or less how they're budgeting the Star Wars shows they have planned for the service. And would Cameron go along with the changes necessary to scale it down for that?

If he didn't get a date that means he did what everyone else was doing; he guessed. Maybe he had a little something extra to inform that guess but it was still a guess. He landed on Tuesday by overlooking the Oscar announcements. I don't think it's really any more complex than that. -

Bingo. It would have been foolish to drop a trailer for really any movie today, especially one that can probably use a little extra oomph in the buzz department, for those that aren't already jazzed about seeing it. They wouldn't want it trying to wade through the predictable back and forth on social media over the Oscar nominations. Pick a day you think will be quieter on that front and hope the news cycle doesn't serve up a curve ball. -
The "source" for the Screen Rant article is the same Scott Bechtel tweet that was posted in this thread a few days ago. The one that started "heard a whisper through the grapevine". How many degrees of separation from the production of the movie does that vine start, only he can say and he isn't. For all we know he read it on the SHH forum. But he has responded to all of the hoopla since then. https://twitter.com/ZOMBIEHIGHX23/status/1087179330269179905

Wasn't there a rumor regarding the trailer recently that is at odds with a particular part of this? -
He says he's not leaving to work at another studio but to devote time to things that have stacked up on the sidelines.

Yeah Solo simply ended up being the first Star Wars movie of the Disney era that landed on the calendar where originally intended. December only happened in the first place for TFA because that was the compromise Iger made with Abrams when he tried to get it pushed out a full year. The next two got shuffled as a result. Disney had wanted it in the summer from the get.

I think GDT was insisting on a budget of something like $120M or he wouldn't be interested in making it.
