I am on Team Auteur I bet they're pissed at how The Day Shall Come was stripped from Odeon cinemas at the last minute, I was talking to someone who worked at the chain for years and they said it's not too uncommon for them to just not show a film if it doesn't sell amazingly at an advance screening, which this film got.

Paid Members DEF Posted October 26, 2019 Paid Members Posted October 26, 2019 That is proper shit but it's not as uncommon as you'd think. Lionsgate are sitting on literally hundreds of horror films that they refuse to make available or license. Quote
Steve Justice Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 For what purpose? Surely they get a cut of the profits if they're screened at indies and such like? Quote

Makes my piss boil that all those films are just wasting away. If they would just license the fuckers to someone like Vineager Syndrome or Arrow we could a huge wave of brilliant films that haven't seen the light of day since VHS. Quote

Disney pretty much left them alone. Missed this a few days ago. The reason Disney left them alone is because they knew they could rely on the Weinsteins to carve up films on their behalf. Quote

I don't know if you've read it but Peter Biskind's book about it 'Down And Dirty Pictures' Its a pretty good summing up of the Disney/Miramax dynamic Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted October 30, 2019 Paid Members Posted October 30, 2019 Yeah. That's the book where most of Miramax's film hacking is revealed! Quote

Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted November 4, 2019 Paid Members Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) It's looking like Terminator Dark Fate will take a loss of 100 mil in its theatrical run, it was alright as well. I think it's a case of reboot burnout. A good Terminator sequel with James Cameron etc back should be a license to print money, but after terminator 3 and salvation being so shit and genisys being so shit and so recent it's so easy to not care about it . Flop reboots/sequels of robocop/predator/Rambo and stuff don't help either. I guess this is the end of the line for Terminator for a long time at least.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted November 4, 2019 Paid Members Posted November 4, 2019 A real shame, it was a fine film. Not hugely surprising and hopefully we can find Mackenzie Davis other action roles. Quote
