Got the trailer at Star Trek. Looks pretty fun although I wish it was being shot with a bit more style

Previous TIFF openers: The Fifth Estate, The Judge, Demolition. Oof.

 

But yeah, this isn't surprising. The Equalizer premiered at TIFF two years ago.

Well, Looper opened TIFF and I loved that, so... yeah.

 

I did watch the press confrence and they said the choice had to do with the quality of the movie as well as appealing to a large audience.

Can't wait to see this on TNT in three years.

A nice 11PM start time as well. They have to make sure the audience has started drink or we'll be drunk at the end of the movie.

This is the closing movie for Venice Film Festival. It screens there two days after opening TIFF.

 

ETA:

Box Office Pro has a first long range prediction for this. OW: $49m, Total: $150m.

Will be interesting to see how that builds towards release.

This looks like something I really don't want to watch.

Very much looking forward to this but I won't disagree with those who say this feels nothing even remotely authentic to the time period.

Is it bad that I don't really care? I just want it to be an awesomely entertaining movie with characters I can care about.

I'm not a huge Westerns fan so I don't really mind if it breaks away from genre conventions or if there are elments of it that feel modernized.

This summer has been such a wasteland for me in terms of enternaining movie going experiences, I just hope the fall can make up for it, and this is one movie I'm still excited for. I hope it gets positive reviews from TIFF and Venice, if it's a dud, we'll know well in advance.

Saw the trailer at Trek last night - even my wife who isn't a westerns fan thinks it looks good - means my chances of seeing it are much higher lol.

New international poster. This is my favorite one so far.

 

[Jonwo]

The budget is $108m which is high for a September film but on par with Gravity and The Martian which were in the $100m range. 

 

I'm thinking it's going to break the September record by a good $5-10m I wouldn't even be surprised if it cracks $60m OW at this point
