THE MOUNTAIN BETWEEN US | 10.20.17 | Fox | Idris Elba, Kate Winslet

[kayumanggi]

I tried searching the archives but it seems there's no thread for this.

 

Based on the 2010 novel by Charles Martin which is described as follows:

On a stormy winter night, two strangers wait for a flight at the Salt Lake City airport. Ashley Knox is an attractive, successful writer, who is flying East for her much anticipated wedding. Dr. Ben Payne has just wrapped up a medical conference and is also eager to return home to Jacksonville, FL for a slate of surgeries he has scheduled for the following day. When the last outgoing flight is cancelled due to a broken de-icer and a forthcoming storm, Ben finds a charter plane that can take him around the storm and drop him in Denver to catch a connection. And when the pilot says the single engine prop plane can fit one more, if barely, Ben offers the seat to Ashley knowing that she needs to get back just as urgently. And then the unthinkable happens. The pilot has a heart attack mid-flight and the plane crashes into the High Uintas Wilderness-- one of the largest stretches of harsh and remote land in the United States.

Outside of that godawful green screen during the plane crash, this looks really good. You can't go wrong with Elba+Winslet. I'll see it.

[Ethan Hunt]

Yep. trailer sold me

[robertman2]

I see a dog in the thumbnail. The dog better not die.

[marveldcfox]

Looks good

[CoolioD1]

Looks bad.

[Morieris]

Looks weird.

 

The editors had to do their damndest to make it look tense and not just 90% stumbling through the snow.

The trailer doesn't mention anything about a release date, so I take it as a good sign Fox is looking to get out of the super packed October 20.

[ban1o]

mmm the dog's gonna die right? 

[TalismanRing]

Can last 3 days without water

 

Really not something they have to worry about.

 

What's with movie pilots never filing a flight plan?

[baumer]

Plot description is enough to get me in.

[baumer]

Hope they don eat the dog.

Should go sometime in September

[mahnamahna]

September-October 2017 has way too many action/thriller films IMO

 

Renegades

All I See Is You

American Assassin

The Solutrean

Friend Request

American Made

Flatliners

The Foreigner

Geostorm

Granite Mountain Hotshots

The Snowman

The Mountain Between Us

Cloverfield 3

 

And that doesn't include IT, Blade Runner 2049, Kingsman 2 and Ninjago (likely to be the top 4 films for the fall period)

 

American Made and Geostorm should have come out August 11th and September 1st, respectively. August is weak enough and Geostorm could easily break the Labor Day OW record with a good marketing campaign.

 

Hopefully one or two more move to different dates (December 8th as a platformer might work; MLK weekend as a wide opener could also work), because they'll all hurt each other's potential as the four above, My Little Pony and Boo! 2 take up quite a few screens.

They should move this to November 22. Sept-Oct is way too packed.

[WrathOfHan]

Yeah, Thanksgiving would be a great time

This sounds like a remake of To Brave Alaska http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117922/?ref_=nv_sr_1

 

or maybe even Snowbound http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111225/?ref_=rvi_tt

 

either way I'll watch anything with a survival theme.

Going up Blade Runner and MLP is an interesting choice. It should be relatively fine given those movies really only appeal to their fanbases. It will screw Fox out of bigger auditoriums, though.
