Proudy Mary has the same DP from John Wick 2, and is being directed by the same guy who directed London Has Fallen.

 

I'm curious about it.

Yeah. The new posters not having a release date is pretty telling. I applaud Ridley for trying his best to get it out this year, but it was always going to be an extremely hard task.

They should just release it in March or April where it would do just fine as counterprogramming for adults. Heck, release it the same weekend as New Mutants, which is currently the only movie set for April 13 (and which it shares little audience overlap with).

Proud Mary might be getting dumped.

 

The trailer looks like a borderline parody of itself.

Proud Mary will do fine, Sony doesn't need to market it much until a few weeks before and Taraji can do alot of the heavy lifting on social media, where her target audience is anyway. This is one of those film genres catering to urban audiences where BOT always misses the mark.

Yeah, the site tends to underestimate movies aimed at this demo. I've been feeling it'll fall into typical ScreenGems territory (No Good Deed/Bough Breaks) instead of a true breakout lately, but there's definitely potential to break out still if they ramp up marketing.

There was a rumor it'd be going to June before Plummer was cast; that would be a good date IMO. Hell, release it the second or third weekend of May.

I will say that Sony is dropping the ball HARD on Proud Mary. There hasn't been anything since the trailer in July! You'd think a new trailer would've come with Roman Israel given All the Money in the World can't be marketed in its current state. I was predicting 100M for a while, but I don't even think it'll cross 15M on OW (it'll still be ahead of The Commuter though  ).

Why so much more than Atomic Blonde, the humors ( guess that make it possible, but the John Wick's had it, great reviews, very commercial high concept with a comic book universe type background and giant release, even Imax release for the first one without reaching 100m, not reaching 50m on the first one either) ?

 

List of Screen Gems biggest box office ever:

The Vow: 125m

Think like a man: 91.5m

Don't breathe: 89m

Dear John: 80m

 

On around 74 screen gems release, only 1 achieved to reach 100m, SGems release often get 25m or even less domestic release marketing budget (never reached 40m) and not the full big studio affair.

 

According to this:

http://www.boxofficereport.com/trailerviews/trailerviews.html

 

Proud Mary has not many version of trailers out there you are right, and not a lot of views.

 

Box office pro prediction (pretty much atomic blonde with 10% lower OW but better legs), seem spot on:

1/12/2018

Proud Mary

$17,000,000

NEW

$55,000,000

NEW

Sony / Screen Gems

 

The director London Has Fallen franchise entry did 21.6m / 61m, is first movie went direct on video and has yet to have directed a fresh movie on Rotten Tomatoes and that movie would need to be special to have a shot to 100m.

So yeah Lady Bird is fucking fantastic

[robertman2]

Only oscar hopefuls I'm seeing in theaters this awards season are Disaster Artist, Shape of Water and The Post. Everything else I can wait for Redbox. Mostly my local theater won't get them

Speaking of Phantom Thread, there's a new poster:

shut the fuck up

[raulbalarezo]

I finally watched JL for $1,99 it was worth the price 

[AniNate]

Lady Bird's... fine, I guess. I dunno, I guess I'm not much for movies that don't seem to have a point in mind until the very end.

London Has Fallen really wasn't that bad. I think this will be pretty good. I'm sure good reviews can only help a film such as this.

Good ass opinion

[AniNate]

Edge of Seventeen comparisons are unavoidable, and I felt that movie was more consistently enjoyable even though it more or less followed the same kind of aimless "high school sucks" template.

[That One Girl]

Sad news: after seeing Lady Bird, A Cure for Wellness is officially not in my top 10 anymore.

My theaters are highly unlikely to get them, sadly.

I don't know Lady Bird feels a lot more focused to me

[Jake Gittes]

Powerful filmmaking definitely something that's best avoided
