Normally, 1st Neighbours (Korea, Hong Kong) → Oceania/Asia → North America/Europe → South America/Middle East &then remaining countries
This is how Japanese Film release across Overseas is being planned
Yeah ANZ is Oceania, hopefully CR taking global rights (outside Asia) doesn't mean they hold it back to give it a global release on the same day or anything crazy like that.

Anime streaming giant Crunchyroll has acquired global distribution and marketing rights (excluding Asia) for award-winning Japanese director Makoto Shinkai’s upcoming working-titled animated feature Suzume No Tojimari.
From ScreenDaily: "The coming-of-age tale marks a sixth animated feature for Shinkai after breakout international hits Your Name (2016) and Weathering With You (2019).
The feature is produced by CoMix Wave Films, the Tokyo animation studio behind many of Shinkai’s works, and Story Inc., which took credits on Weathering with You
The deal between Crunchyroll and Japanese studio Toho, which handles worldwide rights, was brokered by French sales powerhouse Wild Bunch International (WBI).
Under its terms, Crunchyroll will team up with Sony Pictures and WBI on global distribution of the title. Crunchyroll will distribute the film in North America, while Sony Pictures and WBI will co-distribute in Europe. Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures will handle all other territories outside of Asia
Toho will release the production in Japan on November 11, 2022, and it will then be distributed in all other major territories from early 2023 onwards."
So I was missing a big info about Overseas
Really hope this doesn't screw ANZ over, Madman was always great at getting these films out in this part of the world before a lot of other English speaking territories.

Hopefully this is more in the realm of quality of Your Name and 5 Centimeters Per Second. The visuals obviously look stunning and I'm intrigued in what the symbolism of the door will be.
However I'm getting some Studio Ghibli wannabe vibes which has me worried as Children Who Chase Lost Voices was Shinkai's weakest film in my opinion and that was very much going for that vibe.

Japan already having a much better year for HW films between FB3, TGM and DS2.
I really hope Lightyear does well as well will be nice to have a western anime film making some money in the country again.

But yeah 5B would still be good, a lot of it will come down to word of mouth as is the way with Japan 90% of the time.
I also hope there is a synergy boost from the newly opened Toy Story Hotel at Tokyo Disney

Just now, cannastop said:
I made room for it on my list. I mean I saw it I think when I was uhh 23... and I've lived a bit since then. It might be better if I watch it now, I don't know.
I saw something else on my list that could be replaced and I went with Only Yesterday instead.
Fair enough, thank you for adding it to your list in any case.

Hmm I saw this movie and it was OK but I don't know if I wanna vote for it in top 100.
I rewatched it about 2-3 years ago at this point and enjoyed it much more as an adult than a child/teenager when I had previously seen it, in fact I used to think it was one of the weaker Ghibli films, but it hit a lot harder as a (in some ways) fully grown adult.
But anyway film is subjective so if you didn't vibe with it that is all good
I'm just throwing all these out there in case anyone who likes this particular set of films has forgotten about them, which why I mainly listed lesser known films expect maybe Cool Runnings and Lost In translation lol.

It is going to be hard to choose only 100 for me.

He shouldn't get preferential treatment, he aggravated a bunch of people here over the last few months and is paying the price for it.

Why are they rushing this ti PVOD so fast?
This quote from the president of Blumhouse pretty much sums it up more succinctly than I can articulate:
Abhijay Prakash, president, Blumhouse:
“Second, most of these titles are also delivering profitable returns through a business model that manages film costs and captures the residual heat from the theatrical marketing and strong word-of-mouth and converts it into revenue via accelerated downstream windows like PVOD and streaming subscriptions. Though it may not be publicly reported, the underlying economic reality of the business model for these films is that streaming can help sustain theatrical.”

Probably a year away from release here as July 12th (12th of July for US folk) is a Wednesday next year.
This is my most anticipated movie coming up, can't wait to see it on a massive screen with a bunch of friends even if it will come out in the middle of winter (it was a cold trip to see Thor Love and Thunder last week lol)

Is this universal vod thing mainly just them having already committed to VOD after so many days if it falls under a certain number? I don’t think they can just adjust on a movie by movie basis?
They’d have to make some big announcement changing the policy. Which is surely forthcoming.Over $50m is 31 days, under $50m is 17 days but that is minimum as Jurassic is 35 days and Black Phone is 21 days (which seems like they pushed them back to Friday releases)

Minions breaking July 4th box office record months after Top Gun broke Memorial Day box office record
2 very long delayed sequels as well both originally meant to come out 2 years ago, I bet everyone involved in both those films is glad they waited so long.

Haven't done a count but just looked at Event and Hoyts some of the bigger cinemas and Thor seems kind of muted here, kind of weird for a Taika film, although it is the middle of winter here so maybe that is a factor and I haven't been looking at how other films have been doing lately but this seems to be doing less than DS2 and NWH here so far.

Just got Tony on the phone and he is hearing an early range of $30m to $100m for JW3 Saturday.

I'm sure I'll get lectured by people that everything is still fine and nothing will ever change, but I still have a huge nagging fear in the back of my mind that a lot of kids these days are so used to seeing new movies at home that theaters are like vinyl to them. Just some weird way to watch something they'll get at home soon. Gonna lead to some bad implications in the next couple decades.
I'm between two factors with this, on one hand home viewership has been a huge factor since the 80s with VHS and well streaming has made things easier the most popular tapes and eventually discs still sold 10s of millions of copies and you had video rental stores on top of that.
On the other hand back in the 90s/early 2000s there was an easy to discern difference between home video (both with tape quality and TV set being small by modern standards CRTs) vs. a massive screen cinema (also smaller by modern standards but not as much as the gap in TV) now we have 4K 55 inch+ TVs that are either affordable or amazing looking if you drop some $$$ (or a projector if you are that way inclined as my friend was when we a bunch of us watched the first 2 episodes of Kenobi on a 120 inch screen with his fancy new Laser projector) and yes a properly calibrated visual and sound system at a cinema will still top these TVs but I feel like the quality and experience is much closer than in years/decades past.
I don't think this just impacts kids either, that on top of the fact as I keep saying TV shows look really really good compared to even 10 years ago let alone 20 years ago and that likely has an impact as well.

Feels like there is a generation being bred to not have the attention span for even short-form TV content, nevermind films.
Kids attention spans is not the issue lol I remember when they said the same about my generation in the 90s when it came to reading books, there are generational shifts in what entertainment is favoured.
I have 2 much younger siblings who are between Gen Z and Alpha and they will happily play Roblox/Minecraft/Fortnite whatever for longer than the running time of most films. I've taken the oldest to a few movies Moana (when she was very young) and Dora being the ones a remember and she happily sat through the movie without getting too twitchy. Both of them do prefer to watch at home as they can watch the same movie over and over as happened with Encanto and Turning Red recently and also skip to their favourite scenes of those movies, which is not to dissimilar to what I did with VHS tapes and DVDs back in the day.
That said gaming is for sure even more popular than when I was a kid and between that and user generated content on Tik Tok and YouTube those are much more popular ways to pass time than movies and TV for the younger ones.

The auteur comment seem very strange considering they produced Everything Everywhere All At Once and are happy with how it did, that movie (along with Swiss Army Man) has a very distinctive style that is clearly influenced by the people directing it.
The whole interview seems a bit over the top maybe they had a bit too much
