MightyDargon Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 10 hours ago, Squire said: Moving it to March may make business sense, but I think it’s an odd release date for a movie thats intended to garner awards. Whether fair or not, not many movies released in the first quarter of the year (or even second quarter) get much love come award season. Not actually true anymore after EEAO and Hollywood might be desperate enough for "something" next year to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but one recent outlier does not make a trend. Maybe times are changing, but you can’t count on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the rumblings I’ve seen seem to indicate otherwise. Still, assuming this is true, it would put to bed any notion WB/Legendary plan to move from 11/3 due to the crowded November schedule.

Merkel Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 So they will make a decision on whether to delay the movie or not just two months before the current release date? Aren't they cutting it a little close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Kenni Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 In any case, I've been waiting to see a proper Dune film for a quarter of century so half a year or year on top of that is fine. Can there be any other reasons than not been able to use actors in marketing to post-pone this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbie is such an awards contender that it wouldn't pay off to have DUNC II this year and miss the opportunity to get it major nominations. No idea what WB awards slate is like next year but this year Barbie is it. Picture, Director, Script, Actress, Sup Actor, Song, Production design.

WittyUsername Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I would normally think this would be a better awards contender than Barbie, but I’m not sure about that at this point, especially if the Academy is really desperate for the ratings. I’m sure a Barbenheimer showdown at the Oscars sounds very appealing to them right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbenheimer would make great winners whichever won and I honestly think if AMPAS has any touch with audiences left it should be between them. Either would be a popular choice that they wouldn't feel ashamed of years later. Critics ratings are high for both so they have real merit. Both directors are previous nominees so not a fluke.

vale9001 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I don't know maybe cause the first movie was really a part one but i feel like moving this next year will make It lost Its momentum. Some month could be ok but not too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin Feng Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 They are willing to give Marvel up? I guess they are very close to Villeneuve and know something about the movie (even see some footage). Or just hearing The Marvels sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvels look like shit on YT so IMAX can only make it look worse. I don't get movies with shoddy VFX and cinematography that go IMAX. Higher prices sure but shit is more obvious. The reason why some movies are IMAX heavy is because they do offer an enhanced experience (IMAX camera, state of the art effects, incredible cinematography). Not what assembly line products from Marvel are famous for. Edited July 27, 2023 by Valonqar 4 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Isn't Napoleon a confirmed IMAX release three weeks after this? Something tells me he was just throwing something out there for sound bite purposes cause if Nolan's only getting a three week deal in the format...

Marathon Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Well, something like Dune makes more sense as an IMAX screening than The Marvels which doesn't seem to offer anything visually that would benefit from IMAX. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
