The Hateful Eight | Out NOW in Digital and 70mm | 187 minutes long including a 12 minutes intermission

[Avatree]

Yep.

 

it's kind of sad that there were more laughs in the credits than in the rest of that film.

[TalismanRing]

Well, it is considerably better than all but... one MCU film.

 

Pfft it's not even a fraction as good as the one MCU film Johnson made.

Wow,  we agree on something film related.

I'm going to take this as Hateful Eight enthusiasm.

If I'm right...

Right on Shay!

Rumor has it, this is really behind schedule. Very good chance it won't be released this year.

It is just industry people opening their mouths on Twitter. I have no reason to doubt a Tarantino movie gets behind though. It is sort of characteristic of this dude.

Just trying to fill my buddies at BOT in!

Is it thought?  I don't recall there being much word about Inglorious or Django's post, either good or bad.  I'm sure it's mostly the edit too, because he doesn't really have any effects to worry about.    And we're still 4 months away!

[kowhite]

Tanrantino can fall behind all he wants.

He has always delivered 100% (ok cept that time he made a movie with Rodriguez but even than had its moments).

PS: I mean Grindhouse...I heart From Dusk Til Dawn.

Django was close but it was admittedly, a tougher edit. Putting something on that weekend completely prevents any leeway though. I think that is why it is a lot more "doom and gloom" over Django.

If I'm being honest I really want Carol be TWC main focus this season so if they push this back I wouldn't be too upset.

My bias being shown, he is releasing this in Austin in its intended format the week of the 25th. I'll be in Austin then.

He has to make that deadline.

Am I missing something?  Django was a Christmas release also.

I'm so sorry! You are right, it was Inglorious that had a summer release.

Didn't Django miss screeners though?

According to the industry people, the delays are with the 70mm and retrofitting theaters. I don't know. It is probably just gossip.

Okay, that makes sense.  But, are there really that many theaters being retrofitted?  I just figured it was going to play on those already capable.  

[kowhite]

So I think it inevitable this film is t going to do IB or Django numbers.

But given the budget, it simply doesn't need to.

But that raises the question...what does it need to do to be considered a hit? And does the success of those clearly more expensive movies make the expectations of this a bit unreasonable? And could this be the year of the mustache, and it does it anyway?

And for that matter...what are the expectations? I just fear...people are gonna go...Django made more.

Yeah it got out screeners very late, which caused a lot of confusion over who should get the supporting actor nom push (Waltz, DiCaprio, or Jackson). In the end everyone defaulted to Waltz.

Unoriginal Basterds.

Misspelling intended.

No offense Waltz, but you weren't the best supporting there. But yes, you were good.

[Jake Gittes]

Jackson had the best character and performance, though all three of them were excellent. 

[Jonwo]

Isn't TWC selling the foreign rights this time around rather than partner with a major studio? I assume that they'll make most of the budget back from that
