Alli Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Can't wait for the Pirates reviews. The movie must be good if they are screening it so far in advance Edited March 27, 2017 by Alli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie must be good if they are screening it so far in advance I believe the Cinemacon screenings are given an embargo. At least I think so. I definitely remember Inside Out had an embargo, but I don't know about any other movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Tele Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Formal reviews will be embargoed but usually there's some sort of account of reactions. Then again, it's exhibitors: anything flashy and cool and VFX-driven usually gets wows, regardless of whether or not the movie's any good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morieris Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Did Disney show The BFG here last year? I remember those reviews coming out insanely early before the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do see people from various film blogs give their brief Twitter reactions as well. But yeah, these screenings likely won't reach the eyes of any actual film critics.

Jay Beezy Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Also, Lionsgate has a confirmed screening of The Hitman's Bodyguard with Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson as part of its exhibition. Other blogs mentioned the possibility of other surprise screenings.

Morieris Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Wait, the Uglydolls movie actually got as far as a poster at CinemaCon? I thought that idea died long ago. Nice. I have to admit, I dig those Cars 3 standees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) I'm not sure what the deal is with Pirates but I think Inside Out and Finding Dory were both just "first half-hour" screenings. Not a bad business strategy because if it's good you get great buzz but if it's not you get "Let's wait and see how it plays out" Speaking of which I've heard Cars 3 is screening in full soon; though not sure if it's at CinemaCon.

Hmm. It probably won't screen in full at CinemaCon if Pirates is Disney's official screening in whatever capacity. Maybe it's a half-hour for both. Or maybe it's just Pirates. The curious thing to note is that Disney's exhibition is supposed to be 2 and a half hours which is supposed to be an all inclusive showcase of Disney's upcoming projects (like Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, et. al.) *and* the Pirates screening, so it begs the question as to Pirates' runtime.
