Cinemacon 2021 Discussion Thread | Clifford gets screened!

[Eric Duncan]

 

Wait...seriously? That's the rest of the panel? What a bunch of garbage!

[WrathOfHan]

Well, someone needed confidence in this movie.

[wildphantom]

Wow, that’s a mic drop and a half that they’re showing Ghostbusters. 
I’ve got high hopes it’s going to be really great. 
 

Spidey trailer did nothing for me, got to be honest.

Honestly this reads to me Sony has zero confidence in the rest of their slate if stuff like Uncharted and Morbius is only getting 5 seconds from a sizzle reel. Wack!

[Firepower]

No Resident Evil at all( 

Maybe that's because it's not really Sony project, they just distribute it.

[Borobudur]

Glad that cinemacon started is the studio that emphasis the theatrical experience and recognize FG as an example that we are moving to normality.

I was really hoping they'd say "SIKE" and move Venom back to that September 24 spot.

 

Can't believe they're still following thru with that shit

 

Apparently there r No Time To Die posters around at cinemacon with that October 8 spot, so that doesn't seem like it's moving up a week. Sony gotta pray Halloween goes to October 1. The absolute clownery is blowing my mind with these release dates

I doubt they will move up anything until SC test the water for real.

Sony has also sent like a dozen movies to streaming since the pandemic started. I get the sense morale mustn't be very strong at that particular studio these days.

Holy fucking shit.  We have a MASSIVE crowd pleasing blockbuster being released this November.

If you're referring to what I think you are, Twitter is already (semi) on fire after the Ghostbusters screening.

So after Free Guy being good now we're getting a good Ghostbusters movie.

 

2021 really can't stop surprising us.

[BadOlCatSylvester]

Fucking Ghostbusters is generating buzz again?

[iHeartJames]

Is it crowd pleasing because its full of Ghostbuster nostalgia or is it crowd pleasing on its own?

Yes.  

 

This isn't "I got to see it first at a festival or a screening so I'm going to flood the internet with positive hyperbole".  It is a legitimately good, funny, thrilling, hilarious, heartwarming film.  To say this will play huge in November is a complete understatement.

Oh im sorry I swear I wasn't trying to excuse you of that just trying to get some perspective

For sure and didn't think you were, was just trying to give some perspective on my thoughts.  So many times a movie plays at a festival or something like this and gets festival fever, but this isn't one of those times.

i hope Ghostbusters is good , early buzz for last Halloween was good too, but it wasn't all that great

[lorddemaxus]

Sounds worse than the 2016 film.

[filmlover]

I can't help but take CinemaCon buzz with a grain of salt until a movie's actual release after being burned too many times by them. Remember "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is the next Life of Pi" or the last Pirates of the Caribbean screening in its entirety to raves and "return of the franchise" buzz? Oops.

 

Although I think we can all agree it's usually their (paid) awards that end up aging the worst. Looking at their Star of Tomorrow winners over the years reveals a bunch of people whose careers ended up going nowhere.
