For some reason it just hit me that we probably have this odd Fall traffic jam due to TFA. Nothing wants to be near that (or to a lesser extent Spectre and MJ2), so instead we're getting more movies with 100m potential crammed into the Fall season.

I never actually even considered that (I always thought it was just because adult dramas have done well in the past few Octobers studios just went overboard) but you're probably right to a big extent!

I don't know if that's really true. The week after Star Wars is logjammed to high heaven. Of course, if you're a male-skewing prestige movie from a popular director you're probably not going to want to go straight up against it.

You don't need to backtrack obviously TFA isn't the only reason (there are many many other factors) but it is certainly an I retesting observation.

If it weren't for Star Wars, The Martian probably would've taken that spot. This and BoS would've stayed in Oscartober

Steve Jobs and Bridge of Spied are coming out here on the weeks after Spectre and Hunger Games, respectively.

I see a lot of awful wigs on guys...

The IMAX preview looks good, and I have no doubt the IMAX scenes featuring the WTC will rival the spectacle of the Burj Khalifa scene from MI4. The question of course is whether there is a good story to tell around the sure to be great IMAX scenes.

Fuck, that IMAX trailer was awesome

It's Robert Zemeckis. He's one of the finest filmmakers out there when it comes to combining the latest technology with heartfelt storytelling.

Boring generic title. Should have gone with Man on Wire.

[CJohn]

5 minutes sounds too much and will spoil most of the good scenes. I will avoid seeing it.

It's essentially a collection of clips that were previously released in other trailers. You'll be fine.

I don't think this looks that good?!?!

May actually be my 3rd most anticipated film of October after Martian and Goosebumps.

it looks very bad. if all the imaxes just showed man on wire instead I doubt anyone would complain. in fact I'd be first in line for that.

I'd probably say second or third for me (with first being The Martian and then this and Steve Jobs being 2/3)
