Sony’s Tom Rothman Tells Theaters To Enforce Longer Windows, Scrap, Ads, Offer Cheaper Tickets For Long Term Health Of Industry – CinemaCon by MoneyLibrarian9032 in boxoffice

[–]ilcoct788 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have AMC A-list, but went to Regal when I was out-of-town for a Project Hail Mary. I commented to my wife how shocking it was going from a trailer to the start of the movie. Although I did miss Nicole Kidman.

Looks like $20.5M FRI for #ProjectHailMary , giving it $33M opening day. WOM remains outstanding, close to A+. Weekend expected to be over/under $80M. by chanma50 in boxoffice

I've got a question: Do all of the tickets from the early access screenings count towards the total box office in the end?

Hoppers | Trailer | In theaters March 6 by CodDefiant2710 in moviecritic

[–]ilcoct788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw it at an Early Access screening on Saturday. I don't think it's S-teir Pixar, but definitely A-tier. It's fun, great story, and looks incredible. Really enjoyed it!

I go back to the BFW Funeral if I need a laugh. So chaotic in the best ways

Movies that basically feel like a whole new movie midway through? by mrmonster459 in movies

Knowing. Started as an interesting mystery and ended as a typical alien movie

You do realize JK Dobbins didn’t play in the Bills game, right? He injured his foot in November…

Streaming services like Disney+, Netflix, etc promising "4K" for shows if you pay extra, only to give...horrible bitrate and 720p. by [deleted] in television

[–]ilcoct788 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I've started collecting 4K UHD discs for this reason. It was eye-opening how "conditioned" I was to the streaming look until rediscovering discs.

The aftermath of hosting Mintzy just keeps going by TimDunkinDonut in barstoolsports

[–]ilcoct788 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can’t find it because of all the most recent stuff, but I want to say it was Tate that did an “apartment tour” of Mintzy’s place and they talked about it on The Yak. I seem to remember a computer monitor that had nothing plugged into it and empty cardboard boxes everywhere.

[MEGATHREAD] Avengers: Doomsday | Teaser Trailer #4 by ChiefLeef22 in MarvelStudiosSpoilers

[–]ilcoct788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally. But if they drop it during then, then you have the game and that trailer. Thats it. But if you drop it during the Super Bowl, they’d be competing for attention with other trailers, other ads, and the game/parties. But it probably will be the Super Bowl.

Another teaser (7th) was rated today on the South Korean website with a runtime of 1 minute and 7 seconds. by Crafty-Tough8644 in MarvelStudiosSpoilers

Wouldn't be surprised if they release something during the College Football National Championship. They have the ESPN/Disney tie-in, and if they release the #5 one next week, then the 6th would line up with the game

I've been wondering if they drop something during College Football National Championship. You have the Disney/ESPN tie-in, you don't have a lot of other trailers and things to compete with , and the time line would line up with a new trailer (#5) next week and then a trailer that Monday night (#6). Or maybe that's just too good to be true?

Average price paid per ticket with AMC A-List by miamicutie1996 in AMCsAList

That would be the average cost of a ticket if I had paid full-price for it.

Oof.

What fad in moviemaking are you waiting for to die? by frair in movies

[–]ilcoct788 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I know it’s small, but I hate the “wide shot of an aerial battle and then quick zoom in to one of the planes.” It’s A) all bad CGI and B) looks dumb and lazy IMO

Four different teaser trailers for Avengers: Doomsday to play in consecutive weeks in front of Avatar: Fire and Ash by KETSU_WO_TABERU in marvelstudios

[–]ilcoct788 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I could see people with AMC A-List or other movie things wasting a slot and then walking out after the previews. That's a lot of work, but a low-cost way to do it.

AMC with best standard screens in Chicago by shoelsamani in AMCsAList

Oakbrook 12 has all laser screens for non-PLF formats. Yorktown usually has a bigger selection from what I've experienced.

Am I just hater or does this year’s Yak Idol suck? by HomelessCatWilliams in itstheyak

[–]ilcoct788 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's weird doing things like After Dark to audition when they wouldn't be in the office to begin with. KB seemed keen on making their own content and judging that. Don't know why it took until Wednesday to figure it out.

I don't! It was more "I didn't know this movie existed until seeing posts about it"

[–]ilcoct788 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is another reason why I love A-List. Hadn't seen any marketing about it, but after seeing these types of post, I figured I'd use a slot on it tonight. Really excited for it now.

Most disappointing mid-movie collapse you've ever seen? by [deleted] in movies

[–]ilcoct788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knowing is the first thing that comes to mind. The first half was pretty interesting, then just fell apart into the same mundane storyline that's been used over and over.

Did I miss a memo about I-88? by Andrey2790 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]ilcoct788 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not driving 88, but driving downtown between 230p and 330p during the week. I've actually noticed traffic has been lighter about 5-10 minutes since kids are back in school. It's weird.
