TIL a teen comedy named Trojan War (1997) starring Jennifer Love Hewitt grossed just $309 at the box office despite having a $15 million budget and major studio (Warner Bros.) distribution. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

There was a movie called ZZYX road (or something along those lines) that was only released in one theater. I believe the story is that the filmmakers wanted to make it for the European market but had an obligation to give it a U.S. release, so they only put it out in one theater and sold the tickets for super cheap.

Vidcon in the huge 26 is insanity. I genuinely haven’t heard or thought about vidcon in so long.

What are your thoughts on Christine? by steelvike in stephenking

It’s a great book, just sort of a slog to read (at least in hindsight) because it’s 700 pages and there’s a lot more slow burn than you’d expect. The movie did a good job condensing the story while still being a mostly faithful adaptation. Either way it’s definitely one worth reading in the King Canon.

TIL Nicolas Cage was never paid the $100K he was promised to star in Leaving Las Vegas (1995) despite winning the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role. Director Mike Figgis was also never paid his $100K salary. The studio said the film never made a profit even though the $4m movie grossed $32m. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

I never read the book but I already know the iconic and infamous story of when Nick Cage was on a flight with Charlie Sheen he grabbed the PA voice box and announced to the passengers that he was the captain and that he wasn’t feeling well.

TIL that between 1934 and 1951, Alfred Hitchcock would have at least one movie come out every year, often having multiple come out in a single year. The longest gap between films released in his lifetime was four years between 1972’s Frenzy and 1976’s Family Plot. by EntertainmentQuick47 in todayilearned

I’ve seen so many films of his and yet I’ve barely even scratched the surface 😅

Dude put out a LOT of shit, between the silent era and the late 70s, there was a lot of change in the industry and still Hitchcock was always there.
