What's Paramount's risk with Terminator anyway? Those rights have always been such a mess, I can't keep track of who owns what, hence what the commitment is from all the participants.

I think the bigger risk is what they're doing with the back-to-back MI movies. People love them, and they are indeed great, but I think they're in danger of supplying more than the demand and seeing diminishing returns, thus properly killing their last viable franchise (critically and box office-wise). And, sure, you can say it would die with TC ageing out of the role anyway, but a more temperate handling might allow for a more widely-embraced transition to another lead with TC as supporting. Dunno, we'll see, I suppose.

“See the innovative action-thriller GEMINI MAN first, at our immersive 3D+ in HFR screenings.

 

3D+ in HFR is an evolutionary digital format with a frame rate of 60 frames per second - more than double the traditional movie frame rate - giving audiences an amplified, fully-immersive 3D experience. With 60 3D images projected every second, derived from a pristine 120 frames per second master, 3D+ in HFR renders images closer than ever before to what the human eye sees, putting the viewer right in the centre of the action.”

 

I take it the 2D is 120 FPS but in 3D it’s 60 FPS. Correct?

 

I hadn’t realised the release for this was so close. 

Anyone? @Plain Old Tele Thoughts?

I don't know whether there's 2D HFR shows or not. 60fps 3D should look like great, buttery-smooth 3D.

Thanks. Probably should have linked it. It relates to this screening.

The Irishman's budget is insane and it likely wouldn't have been able to recover it from its theatrical run.

 

People in media keep framing the Irishman/Paramount story as a little movie vs big studio conflict. Like it must mean the movies are dead if even Scorsese can't get a major studio like Paramount to back him. If Irishman was a typical 50-80 mil mid-budget project they absolutely wouldn't have passed. The 150 mil price tag scared them away because even in winning (let's say 130 mil domestic? normally terrific for a gangster epic) they'd be losing money.

I think what'll help M:I is the fact that in 23 years, there's only been 6 films released. So I don't think oversaturation should be too big of a problem.

Paramount said yes to one of those films and no to the other

I don't really hold it against them. If I were a studio executive who was asked to finance a $160 million gangster film starring three men in their 70s who are no longer consistent box-office stars-for which half the budget will be spent de-aging them to make them look 30 years younger-, I'd be reluctant to agree to it too.

This probably cost the same 🙄

Will Smith is way more bankable than DeNiro, Pacino and Pesci. Given Paramount originally only had domestic rights to The Irishman, it'd have be a real uphill battle to recoup the costs theatrically.
