That Christmas movie looks like trash fun and I will be watching. Will it be 2018’s Christmas Prince?

I was on board until the elves showed up. Creepy demon-lookin' ass elves

[filmlover]

The sets of the North Pole look like they were left over from those Tim Allen Santa Clause movies and the CGI elves look about as expensive as a Walmart commercial.

CATS ARE FURRY!

They had me at Kurt Russell as Santa Claus.  Plus I'm pretty confident that could be his real hair and beard

Holy hell. I genuinely believe that this is gonna play a factor on the December box office. It’s gonna be HUGE.

 

The first movie was fascinating. I can still remember how little effort went into it, just look at the cover for Beat Now (Now Beat?) that they made up

Nope, I'm on the east coast. We did get heavy rain this morning, though.

Also, you know how we were talking yesterday about Annapurna's woes? Well, looks like they are indeed about to close their doors in the near future.

Why they hell did Vice cost $60M when The Big Short got made at Paramount for $28M? And The Sisters Brothers cost nearly $40M and won't even make $5M worldwide. No wonder they're going under. Is it too late for another studio to pick up If Beale Street Could Talk and Vice (as well as Destroyer although the financial and awards prospects are pretty nil for that one at this point)?

vice seems like a bigger deal production wise since it spans like four decades. i dunno about the rest but i'm sure brad pitt took some kind of back end deal on big short since he produced it so that saves costs. vice was originally happening at paramount so maybe there as well they thought the budget was getting too big.

Big Short was a 49.655M production (almost the same price tag has an American Hustle, quite cheaper than a Moneyball)

We have not seen much but Vice feature some desert / war sequence, maybe enough for that 10m more.

Annapurna only spent 7-8M on Sisters Brothers, so they aren’t losing too much there. But yeah, Vice needs to save their asses.
