The fact that ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE will make something like 3X as much on its opening weekend ($120m give or take) at the box office as INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE is remarkable. Speaks volumes about how the audience for the first film exploded over the last 4 years. Love to see it.

GODZILLA MINUS ONE ended its U.S. theatrical run today. It was supposed to play for a week. It ran for 2 months and made nearly $57 million domestically, saving the box office during a bad stretch. It's now the 3rd biggest non-English language film ever in the U.S. Tip your cap.

Since when is $77 million against a $25 million budget a failure? (In 2021 no less)
The director of the Marvels had only directed one feature before.
It was the failed retelling of Candyman.
They’re letting people with barely any experience direct 250 mil dollar films based on their race and gender.
Be as critical of it as you want. It’s all rigged.

BOND and MISSION were coming off of very successful runs with large, built in, international audiences. It's not an apples to apples situation AT ALL. Those films were not nearly as dependent on a huge domestic turnout. NO TIME TO DIE did nearly 80% of its business overseas.
No Time to Die opened at 55 mil, Mission Fallout 61 both legged out to 700 mil ww. Don't remember the trades declaring them disappoints when they opened. Also both had massive budgets. Go see

Buster passed away peacefully today. I'm gutted but my friend left this world with belly rubs and warm cement. He grew up outside and over the last few days he was very attracted to the outside. It was oddly poetic. Rest easy big guy. I'll miss you terribly.

Low budget never went away but mid budget is (thankfully) trying to make a comeback. I think we have to see a few of them truly break out before studios start actively investing in more. We need more WRATH OF MAN ($104M BO/$40M budget) or POOR THINGS ($117M BO/$35M Budget).
Monkey Man - budget 10mil, box office 28.6mil
Immaculate - budget 9mil, box office 21.7mil
Civil War - budget 50mil, box office 55.8mil so far
The Beekeeper - budget 40mil, box office 152mill
Night Swim - budget 15mil, box office 54mil
Is the low/mid-budget film back?

One of my biggest takeaways from the EVIL DEAD RISE conversation is that people *love* EVIL DEAD (2013) and it's even more beloved now than it was in its day. Maybe the next movie serves as a sequel to both RISE and 2013, best of both worlds, maximum profit?

Freelancing is brutal. If you need to make more money, realistically, you have to hustle to find new gigs on top of your current gigs, even if you're already at "full time." Raises aren't a thing in this world, in my experience. At some point, you just can't take on any more.

I'm not the only one to point this out but the fact that MINIONS THE RISE OF GRU and TOP GUN MAVERICK were both supposed to hit theaters in 2020, waited it out, and have become gigantic, cinema-saving hits in 2022 is pretty fascinating.

Absolutely relieved to see the budget for EVIL DEAD RISE is pegged at $15 million. Even if it *only* debuts with $15 million domestically, it could still easily profit in theaters with say, $65M worldwide (give or take). Very much an easy ask.

If Viola Davis - perhaps the greatest actor alive - wants to do a zombie movie, every studio in Hollywood should divert all available resources to make that happen
Viola Davis says she “would love to do a zombie movie.”
“I want a ‘Train to Busan.’ I want my version of ‘Train to Busan.’ I want to fight some zombies. That’s what I want to do.”

Roger Corman was 98. He had well over 900 credits to his name. The number of directors, actors, writers, crew members and other filmmakers that learned on his sets? Cinema history flows from Corman's filmography. What an incredible life. RIP, good sir.
