Most CEO pay comes in the form of stock grants, which reward raising the share price in the past, or options, which reward raising the stock price in the future. Changing that to pay based directly on profits would have negative effects on their running of the company. People already complain about CEOs being too short-term focused (despite a large chunk of their compensation being based on stock options) and tying their pay to current profitability would make that worse. Long term investments by a company reduce current profitability so, under your proposal, would directly reduce CEO pay which would greatly disincentivize investment.

Why did you tag me?

Between Seoul Spring and Noryang, Aquaman is getting seriously squeezed for screens, especially PLF screens.

For anyone else who has Letterboxd, I made a list. A few of the movies have slightly different titles/years and these are missing from Letterboxd (or at least I couldn't find them): The First Cry (2007) Luck Luck Ki Baat (2012) Apna Bhai Gaju Bhai (2016) It also combines Dr. Syn, Alias the Scarecrow (1964) and The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh (1963), probably because one is a TV version and the other is a theatrical cut of the same material

Pretty sure this should be in the Clubs forum https://forums.boxofficetheory.com/forum/65-box-office-clubs/

There was a teachers protest (kinda, it's complicated) and due to that some students didn't go to school on Monday.

I followed both of you.

That's cherry-picking. Thor, Dr. Strange, Ant-Man, and Ant-Man 2 are all under 2 hours.

This is a great example of why you should never believe something just because it was claimed in a lawsuit. When lawyers draft a lawsuit, they present the best possible case they can without outright lying (and a lot of times they come perilously close to outright lying). They leave out facts, leave out context, and use every rhetorical trick to make their opponents look like the worst people on Earth. If a lawsuit doesn't make the person filing it look to be in the right (at least legally), the lawyers involved seriously screwed up. And, of course, their opponents lawyers will do exactly the same thing from the other side with their response. Until the real facts come out via discovery and the trial it is impossible to know what really happened and you should reserve judgement.

Probably Antman/Guardians 3 double features at drive-ins.

This couldn't be further from the truth. Korea is quite possibly the most beauty-obsessed country on Earth with massive per-capita spending on cosmetics and the most plastic surgeries per-capita in the world.

Is The Chosen a Thursday release or Friday with previews on Thursday?

We don't know exactly what Gunn's plans are, but he has addressed this

Ranking TV shows vs movies is hard enough, not really sure how much sense it makes to rank video games against either of them. But I went ahead and tried. 1. The Empire Strikes Back 2. Star Wars 3. Return of the Jedi 4. TIE Fighter 5. Andor 6. The Clone Wars (2008) 7. The Mandalorian 8. Rebel Assault 9. Revenge of the Sith 10. Visions 11. The Force Awakens 12. Tales of the Jedi 13. Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (game) 14. Attack of the Clones 15. Rogue One 16. Star Wars Arcade (1980s) 17. The Bad Batch 18. Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales 19. The Clone Wars (2003) 20. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens (game) 21. The Phantom Menace 22. Lego Star Wars (game) 23. Star Wars (1991) (game) 24. Lego Star Wars Holiday Special 25. X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter 26. Rebels 27. Solo 28. Rebel Assault II 29. Lego Star Wars Summer Vacation 30. Obi-Wan Kenobi 31. Resistance 32. Book of Boba Fett 33. The Last Jedi 34. The Rise of Skywalker 35. Holiday Special

What about I Heard the Bells? According to Fathom it will be in ~1100 theaters this weekend.

If the reports I've seen about the story are true, this goes way beyond Braveheart levels of inaccuracy. I will wait to reserve judgement until the movie actually comes out as pre-release leaks are unreliable, but right now I am not optimistic.

Not to mention the fact that they still have a ton of "diverse" movies still coming out. If you look at their scheduled DC movies for this year and next: Black Adam - Black/Pacific Islander lead Blue Beetle - Hispanic lead and director Aquaman - White/Hawaiian lead and Malaysian Chinese director The Flash - White (non-binary) lead and Hispanic director Only Shazam has both a white lead and a white director. There are also plenty of "diverse" non-DC movies scheduled such as House Party, Creed 3, and The Color Purple. And one of the "creatives" Zaslav specifically offended was Clint Eastwood, an old white man. Doesn't really fit the narrative of the racist CEO trying to eliminate all diversity in favor of white men.

How is an "open world survival MMO" a remake of an RTS game? It doesn't look like it will have anything to do with Dune 2 other than the setting.
