That movie was trash lol. I saw it in theaters when it came out and vividly remember Tim Robbins' death scene eliciting chuckles from the audience.

Idk. I thought that was an incredibly tense scene. And it's ideas about reaching out for life beyond our world not just literally but spiritually are pretty ambitious for a movie that's supposed to sell some Disney theme parks. Kinda surprised De Palma even made a film this optimistic too.

Should have released on XMAS instead of King's Man. Can see it doing big though. Looking forward to it.

 

BTW, I am sure you all noticed, why are there two color palets in movie in Jungle scenes. Some are pale af and other are natural lighting. Why do film makers use pale. Pale is such a eye sore.

Feel the same way, this just has a Jumanji National Treasure type vibe to it that would seem to play much better as the movie a everyone in the family will agree to see during the holidays than as a first choice in the summer.

Just like Black Widow was guaranteed to open over $100 million, excel?

DePalma only signed on late in the prep game after the original director bailed (IIRC it’s Gore Verbinski*) so take that into consideration FWIW. Maybe he wanted to dabble in blatant sci-fi/2001 riffing?

 

*=Who also bailed on Catch Me If You Can, back when James Gandolfini would’ve played the FBI agent. Spielberg (who was suppose to just produce) took over,  delays in the meantime made JG leave for scheduling conflict and Hanks took over. One of the Beard’s more enjoyable pictures.

Tangentially related!

This was an interesting read right here. It also confirms we will get Premier Access revenue announced for it.

Looks like reviews will be allowed on July 27

 

Maybe the movie is actually good, that's kinda early

Watched the Behind the Attraction episode for the original ride. Surprisingly not as big of an ad towards the movie as I thought, and the history of the ride is presented well, even if the facts are already well-known. Hope the movie features some lively dad jokes.

For Disney that's early, they are allowing reviews on wednesday- thurday of the release week.

 

Since pandemic only BW have earlier reviews

[Saul Goodman]

Think it will have a 60-70%ish RT score.

[Morieris]

We have sold, for the first showing next Friday....

 

 

2 seats.

 

 

 

I'm sure it'll pick up, but let me enjoy pretending that it won't in a "Ya'll picked this over Green Knight and it didn't even pay off." way.

[Noctis]

I don't know why I believe this will do well...the kind of movie people would watch in theaters.
