It's show time, folks. (retweets can mean anything from an endorsement to “can you believe this f***ing idiot?”) 2000+ interviews https://www.youtube.com/@dp30
Check out my @Comscore @csMoviesUS @CSGlobalMovies Weekend Quick take: Superhero fatigue, what superhero fatigue? There are two, count ‘em two, superhero movies topping the chart with well-reviewed audience favorite @FantasticFour First Steps” delivering a number 1 debut with an…
I’ll think about a TL lyric whether I want to or not every few weeks since ransom “ to the shores of Tripoli but not to mississipoli…”
SNL by far the most expensive... and has been a money loser as many years as not...
Also worth pointing out: We’re reporting the suite of NBC late night shows (Fallon/Meyers/SNL) lost more than $100m last season
One of the all-time greats. My 8th grade social studies teacher, Dan Lohnes, turned me and my class onto him... poisoning pigeons in the park. But he was a deft satirist, who never seemed unkind. RIP Tom Lehrer, master satirist of Cold War era, dies at 97 wapo.st/3J6GVeA
Truth be told, pulling out July isn’t anything but a narrow snapshot either. The thing that I started trying to figure out was how the 2 superhero movies were doing, because both are doing well and both feel, at the box office, a little disappointing. Why won’t they do $1…
Interesting. On the AMC app, Superman is on top of the pages for each theater even though Fantastic Four has the IMAX screens, usually on leading to top placement. One had to assume WB is paying for this privilege.
So petty. But so Trump. Check out briantylercohen's video! #TikTok tiktok.com/t/ZT6k4yXgc/
This is how box office reporting is a bit out of control. Last Tuesday, Deadline projected $210m worldwide. It beat that. But meanwhile, on the domestic side, they got over-excited and went much bigger on domestic during the week and now, even though it outperformed the…
Does the Vanity Fair kiss of death from overstating actor status still exist? This feel right in sync.
What Will It Cost to Renovate the ‘Free’ Air Force One? Don’t Ask. nytimes.com/2025/07/27/us/…
The is genre oversaturation. There is no such thing as genre fatigue. All it takes to change that perception is the next movie.
“it’s just a crappy thing when the industry over projects on a big movie during its opening weekend, and then it comes in lower by Sunday and Monday.” It’s not “the industry.” It’s the media, constantly projecting estimates as facts and then being disappointed or surprised when…
The jury-convicted felon who just extorted Disney and Paramount with nuisance suits illegally powered by his role as president is losing his shit completely… more… thank you for your attention to this matter
Show of hands of how many of you were expecting to see the Brady Bunch Kids sing Live and Let Die? None of you? Ok, here you go.
HELD OVER! @Filmhouse has booked BARCELONA & THE LAST DAYS OF DISCO for several days starting Sunday
An epic night on the @WhitStillman tour...a completely SOLD OUT house for our special presentation of METROPOLITAN. About a 50/50 split between repeat viewers and first timers, but for all never as great as from this gorgeous 35mm print and with a brilliant Q&A with Whit himself.
Does anyone have a real Answer about why Coyote Vs Acme is waiting another 13 months for release.
Of course they know the book is real. And of course, it WSJ had published the image, they would accuse them of that being unfair and biased. Because this WH lies… all day, every day.
The contention--which is pretty clear if you just read what I said--is that it's bogus for the WSJ to publish a hit piece without showing us the letter. I have no idea if the book exists--WSJ won't show it to us. I have no idea if the letter exists--WSJ won't show it to us. What…
You could remake Back To School with limited script changes with Eddie Murphy or Cedric or Patton Oswalt or Larry David tomorrow on a very tight budget, cut it in 6 months and have in theaters next summer and have a huge hit.
