Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) https://deadline.com/2019/01/diane-keaton-comedy-poms-to-spur-cheers-over-mothers-day-weekend-1202533140/ Quote STX films will open their AFM acquisition Poms on May 10, Mother’s Day weekend. The Diane Keaton movie opens close to a year after her previous hit spring comedy Book Club which earned $90M WW. When it comes to launching female-skewing fare, studios try to capitalize on Mother’s Day weekend as a launch pad. It’s where such pics as Melissa McCarthy’s mother-daughter comedy Life of the Party opened a year ago ($17.9M), and where Fox’s Amy Schumer-Goldie Hawn comedy Snatched opened in 2017 to $19.5M. STX took U.S. rights to the eOne-produced Poms for $8M-$9M at AFM, as exclusively reported by Deadline. Keaton plays a woman who after moving into a retirement community, starts a cheerleading squad with fellow residents. Pam Grier and Jacki Weaver also star. Zara Hayes directed the script by Shane Atkinson based on a story by Hayes and Atkinson. Edited January 10, 2019 by movies!movies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I wonder if they’ll keep the same name in the Commonwealth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Ripley Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 So I was just scrolling through Fandango, and randomly decided to see if tickets were on sale or not. Lo and behold, I discovered that this movie is having previews start at 3 PM. 4 PM was already stretching it, but how on Earth can STX justify this as Thursday previews now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, considering this movie's audience is gonna be 99.9% over the age of 60 (a crowd that doesn't go out at night), I guess they can.
