Being too negative is one thing but some people on here with others take that to another level. It doesn't hurt to have happy thoughts once in a while. 

 

Ok, I need to say it: You're not helping. I know personally I don't appreciate simply being told to "be happy" or '"take a chill pill" if I'm not feeling happy. Everyone's feelings are valid, and I think the best way to approach harmony on this issue is to simply remind everyone what we actually know and don't know about the inner workings of the negotiation process. And it did seem like he was responding to that.

T-9 days until 11/9

 

We are down to single digits days until the first The Marvels wide showings now

Oh I think we're well past the point where the strike ending could pull up tracking enough with a push. I think even Hunger Games might be too late. Marvel bet the strike would end earlier than it did and it didn't.

 

As for the strike itself...saying they're further apart could be a bit of posturing? But I don't think it's just letting the ink dry. We'll know more for sure tonight.

No deal today

people are losing their homes, can't work a full day of negotiating

It’s pretty ridiculous since normal people work a full day on Halloween but then I remember this is Hollywood and they live in a different universe.

Amazing if we end up getting a deal because someone showed Joe Biden the last Mission Impossible movie.

Tom Cruise saved Cinema after all. We just couldn't see it.

[SpiderByte]

Well, at least an end is in sight. Still confident it'll be available for this week but if I were to guess when I'd say... Thursday.

Hearing reports we may be getting Fall Guy and Ghostbuster trailers in the next week or so. That would seem to suggest those movies are sticking to March for now.

Even if it wasnt close I think California would step in before the White House tbh

Oh I’m sure we’ll be getting many fall guys out of all this

Hunger Games is ok because they have the exception and cast(especially Zegler) are promoting it in their social media. I am sure we will start seeing them in late night talk show circuit as well either next week or during release week. Plus there will be a premier for sure.

Oh I think it'll help, it's just I think too short notice to move the needle a ton. The Hunger Game movies have all been good so that'll help too but I think they needed more time to set everything up.

Should we believe him?

Unless his source is from the SAG side of things, no.

 

And even if it is from the SAG side of things, still no.  Because things can fall apart.

 

To quote a great philosopher, "It ain't over 'till it's over."
