I jUST love that the arrogant jerk, Miles Teller, is not associated with this film. His oscar hopeful bombed and vanished without a trace. The only way he will have any career is if he establishes a great relation with a filmmaker just like Michael B jordan has with Ryan Coogler. Without Ryan, Michael won't have Fruitvale station, Creed and Black Panther on his resume. He gets work cuz they are great buds.

Learn something from Michael if you want to survive in Hollywood.

William Friedkin says that Damien Chazelle is the future of american cinema and that he will be a major force in shaping it.

I concur.

 

Whiplash and La La Land proves that he is a genuine talent unlike 1 hit wonders and/or overrated filmmakers taking on franchises and making mostly safe films.

Potential $200K+ PTA according to Deadline!

 

The Soundtrack is already #17 in iTunes

This movie's box office run will be more exciting than Rogue One's. Book it.

I've been listening to the soundtrack non stop since it came out, though for some reason the John Legend song isn't available on Apple Music, not sure why. I love these songs and I love this movie. Already planning my next viewing.

Yeah, I've been listening to it on Apple Music as well and I'm very annoyed that song isn't available.

 

Pretty good soundtrack. City of Stars still outshines everything else though.

[filmlover]

I'm guessing John Legend's song isn't included for "label" reasons.

It's not easy to move the RT score up again at this point, but LLL is back to 96% fresh and all it took was 30 consecutive fresh ratings since its last rotten review.

This movie probably gives diabetes.

[cannastop]

Man, why did they have to delay the wide release to Christmas Day? That's just dumb as fuck.

It's actually pretty bittersweet. It's not as "saccharine love affair" as you may assume, though it is very romantic.

This isn't the Collateral Beauty thread.

I don't get it either, I know Rogue One is scary but i cant imagine that audience shares alot with La La Land. Good counter-programming survives against tentpoles. Now it's going into the crowded Christmas fray with much more competition.

They should have stuck with the original release plan:

ny/la Dec-2

limited (400 theaters) -Dec. 9

wide Dec.16

To be fair, this movie's run is gonna be all about the long haul. It's still gonna be making a decent sum of money by Oscar night if it truly emerges as the undeniable frontrunner.

I'd even say it was more bitter than sweet, actually.

A total similar to American Hustle ($150M).

Yeah, I've wondered if "everywhere Christmas Day" means 600 theaters everywhere (BOM's definition of a wide release), 1800 theaters everywhere or  3000 theaters everywhere. Even if it ultimately loses the Oscar it should get multiple Golden Globe wins, then the Oscar nominations, and they can center expansions around the phases of awards season.  Musicals that strike an emotional chord tend to have very leggy runs, so I think La La Land will be OK even without rushing to make all its money ahead of Rogue One.

yeah, same here. $100M~$150M range.

[AniNate]

TV spots usually start marketing "Everywhere" when they go above 500 theaters. 600 is about akin to 1 for every 600,000 people, which means any decently sized population center is covered.
