ClaudeManhattan Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 The embargo drops this Monday 7/24/2017. Almost four weeks before release. This is probably because of Soderbergh's abnormal distribution strategy or they really have confidence in this movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Duncan Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/logan_lucky Reviews have dropped and all are positive thus far. B's, 4/5's, 3/4's, the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Damn, this is a really early embargo. Hopefully Bleecker Street knows what they're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valonqar Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'm so game for this. giving me talladega Nights vibe and that's one of my all-time faves. reviews are terrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeManhattan Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Now we know why the embargo was lifted so early. Right now it has a 100% RT score. After reading some of the reviews, I doubt it will fall below 90% when it all said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alli Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 eh i was expecting glowing reviews. some directors get them even if their work is not that good. looking at RT there's a disconnect between critics and the public. I mean did anyone like Haywire? Not the public it seems, but it still got great reviews. or Magic Mike. also critics are dying with anticipation because he "came back from retirement" Not saying the movie is not good, i have not seen it, just saying...from the trailer it looks extremely stupid. but i guess i don't get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Now at an 82 on MC, making it Soderbergh's most acclaimed movie since Traffic. Woah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaudeManhattan Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Soderbergh's distribution strategy is targeting hillbillies, red-necks and NASCAR fans. Tracking usually misses these groups Any tracking we here about this movie has to be taking with a grain of salt. The first Magic Mike for instance was tracking a $19 million OW. The film was targeting female of all ages and gay man. Well it opened at $38 million, because tracking missed women over 35, which came out in huge numbers and gay men. Soderbergh is hoping lighting will strike twice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aabattery Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I'm hype. Had the trailer for this in front of Baby Driver today and Ocean's 11 is the perfect film, so this is all looking very promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, hillibilly characters are always fun and the cast seems on point with the great chemistry, which reviews have been praising so far.

Maxmoser3 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 The NASCAR part is interesting, but the cast giving their best southern accent is a mixed bag looks more silly I assume so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeManhattan Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 RT score still at 100%, but I think obsessed Marvel fanboy critics like John Campea will trash Logan Lucky to help Wade W. Wilson and Nick Fury's movie The Hitman's Bodyguard. HA,HA,HA But seriously now, the real story here is the self distribution. If Soderbergh's distribution experiment works, we will start seeing a lot of self distribution. The way movies are being distributed will change. The kind of movies that the big Hollywood studios are making will change. Right now the big studios wouldn't dare to produce movies like Get Out, Baby Driver or Logan Lucky. GO and BD are both successful movies, hopefully LL will be too. I'm pulling for Soderbergh to pull this off to prove we don't need big Hollywood to make an entertaining and profitable movie.

Yep, we need more inventive low-to-middle budget movies to to do well. GO and BD were awesome, fingers crossed this is too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeManhattan Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) Here is something weird, news reports today are saying LL's writer Rebecca Blunt doesn't exist. There is speculations that the actual writer is Steven Soderbergh himself or his wife. Edited July 27, 2017 by ClaudeManhattan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
