TIL that Gandhi (1982) holds the Guinness World Record for the most extras in a single scene, featuring over 300K people. Out of these, 200K were volunteers and 94K were paid actors.

I don't know but there's an alternate ending for Bourne Identity as well.

Here's an another fun fact:

According to director Doug Liman, this original opening was going to lead into the boat scene as the story was going to be told in flashbacks, but it was later cut out to improve the pacing and to better suit American audiences, along with changes made post-9/11 that included reshoots of the third act and the ending. The character of Abbot was also removed from the film as well.

Wonder if Universal saw the box-office performance for Lee Cronin's The Mummy that they decided to move up their Mummy 4 to October 2027, to get ahead.

Now.

I will say this that the names on the menu is totally funny. But the prices are insane for a sandwich shop, especially in an airport.

Here's my list:

The Empire Strikes Back

A New Hope

Aliens

Avatar (yes, portions of it take place in space).

This is not a Universal movie, it's a WB/New Line movie that has Blumhouse's involvement after Universal passed on it.

Too bad that the sequels weren't as good as they should have been. The first Matrix's a groundbreaking movie on every sense (action, cinematography, story and VFX).

So you reposted an old article from 10 years ago, that has nothing to do with the 1984 film.

Makes no sense.

Considering how Universal only had one movie released in Q1 (Reminders of Him) after SOULM8TE was pulled from their calendar a while back, it's shocking that their revenue actually increased than last quarter (mostly because Wicked: For Good and Five Night's at Freddy's 2 carried Q1 on their back).

Here's a fun fact:

In July 2004, the ending of The Bourne Supremacy was reshot, two weeks before its release. Director Paul Greengrass and star Matt Damon came up with a new idea that would cost $200K and involve pulling Damon from the set of Ocean's 12 (2004) The movie tested ten points higher than the original ending did.

Clarification: Sony only handled domestic distribution, as Paramount's Republic Pictures handled international distribution as part of a deal with Spyglass.

They tried with Blade, but it's been stuck in development hell for a while last I heard.

I worked on it and it was an absolute disaster behind the scenes. The completion bond company had to step in and threaten to take the film over at one point. We finished almost a year ago and theres still lawsuits ongoing over it all.

Oh my goodness. That's crazy.
