Looks like it's off to 2021 for Annette.

 

 

 

I heard about Benedetta moving but I thought Annette wasn't going to be ready for Cannes?

Leos Carax’s long-awaited Los Angeles-based musical romance Annette, co-starring Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard as a stand-up comedian and his opera singer wife, had not been expected to be ready in time for a Cannes debut, even prior to the pandemic.

These are available on HBO Max it seems, for anyone who's subscribed or is planning to (I was going off this list). So are Yojimbo, Cleo from 5 to 7, La Strada, Z, Late Spring, Late Autumn, Tokyo Story, the Three Colors films, The 400 Blows, Autumn Sonata, Bicycle Thieves, In the Mood for Love, Seven Samurai out of the stuff that's already been listed/FYC'd here. Plus ofc the Ghibli movies.

yeah they got some of the criterion collection movies, I wonder how HBO Max would affect the criterion channel now because of overlap, I guess CC will stay alive because it's more niche

 

 

and btw Autumn Sonata is my favorite Bergman movie but I feel like it doesn't get as much attention as his other movies, before I started watching his movies all I was hearing from film circles online was about how Persona or Seventh Seal are his best but relatively almost nothing on his other work, hell the only reason I came across Autumn Sonata was because I was doing a Bergman binge and it's ranked highly on LBD. It's a great movie.

Parasite is the best film that was released in the last 120 years or so (from the ones I've seen), I wouldn't mind if it topped this list

i would say watch at least 4 more foreign language films to get cries and whispers bumped off that list.

I didn't even list all the bergman films I watched  (also C&W rules)

50M domestic total seems low, I can see it doing 100M-130M from a 35M OW

[GODZILLA vs. KONG | March 31 2021 | Adam Wingard to direct]

will WB move WW84 to Nov and Tenet to August? 

 

or WW84 to Dune spot and Dune to Nov? since that was the original spot for Dune iirc

Things to Come (2016) - 8/10

 

 

I have meaning to see this, heard it's one of Huppert's best since the piano teacher. (I liked her more in Elle though both that & Things to Come came out in 2016 but only Elle got awards attention)

supporting actor race this year looks weak, Rob could definitely get in there

Skipped the trailer as I usually do to avoid spoilers but from the reactions I’m reading on my timeline, this could be Nolan’s best since Dunkirk.

I also binged Lost few years ago (was obviously too young to watch it live) and had mixed feelings toward the final season, but the finale was good, the final shot with Michael still hits hard.

 

 

I could compare it to GoT (though I watched that live since the 5th season) in that the final season of Lost was meh but the final episode was good and that the final season of GoT was good but the finale was meh.

I honestly can"t believe they are premiering the trailer on Fortnite. This is so funny.

 

Please someone explain me what am I missing from this strategy from WB's marketing team.

not sure about the demographic but it gives them the widest exposure rn

[PAPA NOL∀N'S TENƎꓕ | August 26 internationally. September 2 "in select US cities" | 75% on RT after 228 reviews]

I predict they will announce the new date with this trailer for August, and move WW84 else where, probably December

It wouldn't be much of a surprise to see movies like Ammonite end up heading to next year in hopes that the world will be back to normal by the time the next round of annual festivals begin and receive the proper campaigns they wouldn't be able to have this year. Minari might stay since it already premiered at Sundance although January feels like 20 years ago with everything that's happened since so would probably need to rebuild whatever momentum it might've had.

Ammonite  have enough star power that it could break in awards season without festival hype, it's also distributed by NEON and they'll be coming in after that Parasite win.

the big question is whether they will extend the eligibility period to next year.
