March is definitely the new April at this point.

March was big before April became big.

Agreed. An 80s nostalgia fest isn't what I want to see from him. He's already made the movies that created the nostalgia. This feels much more like something JJ Abrams would direct.

You are right. Not really sure what I was thinking back there, but I forgot about a bunch of March releases.

Ready Player One is getting the Easter release slot. Can be big over the holiday/spring break combo. Flash will also get IMAX for 2 weeks now, smart scheduling in the end. The "WB event film" will probably also get IMAX for 2 weeks.

I won't be surprised if see a few more moves, King Arthur likely will be pushed to late summer and Wonder Woman gets its slot and Kong moves to May 2017

Yeah, WB will rule Spring of 2018! Great scheduling on their part.

Yah. Thought of Spielberg going meta with pop culture doesn't really float my boat. Where the hell is that Cortez flick with Bardem and written by Zaillian?

[The Futurist]

Steven where is your Jlaw movie godamn it !!!

 

[RichWS]

In no way a knock on the man cause I still enjoy his current work (loved Lincoln and Bridge of Spies), but I'd always rather be watching Jaws.

[The Futurist]

As Baumer often says, having the Internetz at the times of the making of Jaws would have been hilarious.

 

Same for Titanic.

True. I do remember reading numerous articles during Titanic's production about the problems. The pushed back release date from July to December was a particular big deal.

Cameron went so over budget he gave up his salary and points, even after it was initially released it was still viewed as a bomb because of it's estimated $200 million budget and lowish OW for a blockbuster. It took a couple of months for the kind of monster it was to sink in. 

[Ethan Hunt]

Alright.

It was pretty notable after New Year's weekend how well it was holding. It became a phenom very quickly.

[The Futurist]

Yep, those holds weren't normal at all.
