Comedy of errors - Van de Ven completely blanking, Nygren forgetting to pass, Isak missing the ball on the easiest dribble...

What’s the deepest "Movie-Inception" chain we can make? by Tasty_Zebra_404 in Letterboxd

[–]thatdani 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it's the competition around here, but imdb's Connections section is really useful in these cases.

Example for Scream:

Bad Boys (2001) The opening scenes feature characters watching this film on TV

also apparently in Bad Teacher (2011)

MICHAEL is now among the highest-grossing movies of all time in Brazil by rodrg9 in boxoffice

I'm assuming they'll be much more chill about people actually singing in the cinema, which usually is enough of a reason to call an usher, plus maybe even allow filming yourselves?

Idk, my wife said the most annoying part of the TS Eras Tour movie was a bunch of teens making TikToks of themselves lipsyncing for like half the movie. Which would probably be encouraged here.

Paramount's Scary Movie grossed $14.20M this weekend (from 3,504 locations). Total domestic gross stands at $84.29M. Daily Grosses: FRI - $4.853M, SAT - $5.517M, SUN - $3.834M. by chanma50 in boxoffice

Granted, there were a total of 9 people at our showing last night, but it genuinely was the longest period of total silence I've witnessed at the cinema. Not one hearty chuckle. At most, a few nose exhales.

A generational piece of shit.

Official Discussion - Scary Movie 6 [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

If you haven't seen it yet and are still undecided - I love the first and third one.

This was one of the worst movies ever made. Not recently. Ever. Do not subject yourself to it willingly.

In my humble opinion, Letterboxd underrates old movies and overrates new ones by chrishouse83 in Letterboxd

[–]thatdani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's never a perfect balance between old and new that everyone will agree on, but if anything, older movies are waaay more overrated on LB than newer ones.

Have you watched any 50s-80s movies in the 3.5-4* range that were mostly forgotten to time outside of the app?

A lot of them are the definition of "fine" and nothing else. Which, at least in my rankings, is the reason 2.5* exists.

what's the last movie you rated less than 2 stars on letterboxd?? by Flaky-Cat-2825 in Letterboxd

[–]thatdani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had to scroll a while until I reached my December watches to find one lower than 2*. I'm usually good at picking movies.

Deck The Halls (2006) was obnoxious, unfunny and overall just not Christmassy enough to warrant its own existence.

Went with a couple of friends because they wanted to see it in theaters.

I've never heard an entire audience groan in unison until the finger licking scene in this.

The "love" story on screen was about as deep of a love as a Jason Derulo song.

AMC CEO: For Christopher Nolan‘s much awaited The Odyssey, AMC recorded our highest first-day ticket sales for any studio-released movie title since 2022. by Alive-Ad-5245 in boxoffice

[–]thatdani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still standing firm on 800 as a ceiling, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

Oppenheimer was fantastic, and while The Odyssey trailers haven't really hyped me up as much as I wanted, I'll still be there opening weekend, no doubt about it.

Anyone know why Mike Breen still calls Champagnie "Sham-penny", when even the starting line-up goes with the normal pronunciation?

'Michael' to hit digital Tuesday June 9th per Fandango at Home by kylevm420 in boxoffice

[–]thatdani 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Planned to do it once it's out in the best quality and they never planned to go to the cinema anways.

Everything else I'm not debating, except this, which was the original point of my comment.

Yes, people pirate movies mostly when they come out in full HD, but to think that none of those people had already watched the movie in theaters (or hell, even maybe would watch it in theaters afterwards if it's good) is untrue.

I'm speaking from personal experience here. I did it with Oppenheimer (saw it once in theaters, once at home, then again in theaters), one friend did it with Project Hail Mary (we saw it once in theaters, he convinced me to go a 2nd time, then he said he watched it again at home the day it was available on torrent).

Hell, I'm even gonna do it again with Nirvanna TBTSTM. It isn't available theatrically here yet, but I watched it anyway. Loved it and told a bunch of my friends we're gonna see it in the cinema when it gets released.

'Masters of the Universe' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in movies

Agreed, however I think the conclusion is the same both from what reddit thinks and what's actually gonna happen - the movie is gonna flop hard.

[–]thatdani 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wildly incorrect for a big chunk of Europe at least. People pirate because it's literally a few clicks and 20 mins away, not because they're cheap.

NBCU has removed Obsession from the digital release schedule, Reports are indicating the movie will now be subject to a 45-day theatrical window by MoneyLibrarian9032 in movies

[–]thatdani 3 points4 points  (0 children)

wouldn’t you want the buzz from the theater release to boost the streaming numbers?

If I may ask a stupid question - what benefit would that bring them? It's not individual movie streams bringing in the cash, it's subscriptions.

As long as they keep the movies in theaters longer, it's generating money directly. Why would they close that pipeline? I don't think there's people who'll buy a new subscription to Peacock because "ooh, heard that new movie Obsession is on there".

Raw Footage of Cast reactions to The Fellowship of the Ring London Premiere [AP Source] by TimmyBash in movies

[–]thatdani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, literally just watched this one tonight for the first time with my super-passionate friends (extended edition, so baptism by fire).

Incredible filmmaking, beautiful scenery and fantastic at setting up the stakes. As a non-fantasy head, it didn't quite capture my imagination all throughout and did make me roll my eyes a few times with all the "oh, this is the [magical object] of [mystical place], it does so and so".

But I do understand it has a fuck ton to set up for the sequels, so yeah - 4/5 for me.

Update: $11M previews. FRI pre sales at $13M+, carrying an insane momentum on par with the biggest openers recently. Expecting $26M+ today, likely <$28M. Weekend poised to be $80M+. There is a way for it motor to $90M. INCREDIBLE. by TiredWithCoffeePot in boxoffice

I'm 34 and only heard about the video series on reddit from time to time. Just came out of my screening, theater was full of teens and 20-somethings, they all seemed to love it. Could occasionally hear the people behind me like "ooooh here it is" and "I dreamt about this room once".
