The Walk | Zemeckis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt | Sep. 30, 2015 in IMAX 3D | Wide Release on Oct. 9

[DAJK]

Hm. Mine are probably:

1. The Assassin

2. Steve Jobs

3. Bridge of Spies

4. Room (So great. Saw it at TIFF and have a press screening and interview with the director next week.)

5. Truth (Saw it at TIFF. Loved it.)

6. Crimson Peak

7. The Martian

8. Burnt

9. Suffragette

I'm see The Walk at a press screening next week. Meh.

I forgot about Room! It's apparently my little sister's favorite book, and she's telling me we HAVE to see the movie. But there's zero chance it's making its way to our theatre, so ill have to wait until its On Demand.

It is devestating. I thought it was supposed to have a good expansion.

Hopefully it does, but unlikely to my town unless it has some incredible PTA ala Birdman or Imitation Game.

[kowhite]

Room?

You are tearing me apart Lisa!

Wait, wrong movie?

[Avatree]

Ooh, if we're doing October anticipation:

 

1. The Martian (although I am seeing it in September)

2. The Lobster

3. Macbeth

4. Crimson Peak

5. Suffragette

6. The Program (only because I know the person upon which the film centers)

7. The Walk

 

0. MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL RE-RELEASE!

You are so lucky to be getting The Lobster and Macbeth! I won't get those until 2016 unless they go to AFI.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

My most anticipated film of October is Paranormal Activity. Sue me.

Prediction:  Bad reviews

[TStechnij]

Does this premiere tonight?

[CJohn]

Prediction: Bad reviews

They are opening it one week and a half in IMAX 3D before everywhere else. There is no way this is getting bad reviews.

Doesn't look good at Critics Choice

 

http://www.criticschoice.com/search?s=walk

 

It is at 57/100 and one star. That translates to roughly 30%

[CJohn]

Lmao, I take back what I said.

Sony is gonna kill it even before it reaches wide release.

Again though, we don't know how many critics have provided ratings. With a movie still a week away, there is a chance not all critics have seen it. 

 

I can't get why Sony has embargoed Hotel Transylvania 2 though, Critics Choice is very solid for it: http://www.criticschoice.com/search?s=transylvania

What is criticschoice? Who is included in the aggregator?

It is the Broadcast Film Critics Association. http://www.criticschoice.com/bfca/

 

Their full member list is here: http://www.criticschoice.com/members/bfca

 

But not all of them will vote on all movies. I think every movie will get around 100-120 votes.

Right right right. BFCA, I've never known the URL.

Their consensuses seem to be different from US critics and other world critics often. The Assassin is a good example of this.

[Ozymandias]

I honestly wouldn't mind this being a dud because the trailers were annoying and self important and I feel like I got the trailer in front of every single movie I saw at the theater this year so far.

[kowhite]

I remember when "directed by Robert Zemeckis" was exciting.

[Mr Terrific]

Do you have anything to declare?
