  • https://twitter.com/BoxOffice/status/1337178531751714816 This change in filming dates makes sense given the updated release date.

  • The difference between this movie and the Warner/HBO Max slate is that this is owned by MGM, who don't have either a multinational conglomerate as owners or a viable streaming service that they want to grow. Because that's all this move is; a plo…
  • That "fixed" scene from Spectre looks awful. The colours and skin tones are all over the map and the white balance now has a weird purple tinge to it, in fact, the whole picture does. I have worked a lot in movie post-production so I can say with…
  • https://twitter.com/numeroboxoffice/status/1329266498783776769 Every major studio has experimented with multiple different ways of releasing movies that aren't just full theatrical runs this year only to learn time and again that it is the only…

  • The sad truth is that no studio has yet figured out how to match the amount of money that a full theatrical release provides. That's why EON/Universal/MGM have no incentive to put their movie on VOD or sell it to a streamer at a cut-price rate. M…

  • I've always liked the MI films to varying degrees but none of the sequels has topped the first one, for me. It had a terrific visual style courtesy of DePalma a pretty intriguing mystery story and the most character development out of all of them. …

  • I think SP's biggest problems really result from the script issues; it's very clear that no one was on the same page when it came to the tone and it shows. Much like TWINE and TMWTGG, I think that there are a lot of great moments and ideas that a…
