But your smaller budget flicks normally do fine without China anyway. Andi hope you’re not trying to don’t besmirch Fast and Furious, my guilty pleasure franchise in that summary.

(reminder that not a single Covid case has been directly linked to being transmitted at a UK cinema during the recent reopening) rather than from a 'this might make us more money' position. Absolutely none of the big studios would ever have existed without cinemas. They are utterly integral to the artform of filmmaking. This is a terrible announcement, really. They'll go back to the cinema model as soon as they can. Tenet bombing has shit them all up but they are going to lose hard no matter what they do. Wonder Woman made a billion dollars at the box office and they had pushed this one hard before the world turned to shit and were probably expecting the same. They'll be lucky to make even half that through streaming and limited release. I'm more curious about King Kong vs Godzilla. It was filmed before the last Godzilla film, was supposed to be released a year ago and no one has seen a frame of it yet. How often does that happen with a big blockbuster film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often does that happen with a big blockbuster film I quite liked the last Godzilla film and thought it was an upgrade on its boring predecessor. But Adam Wingard on this new one? Surely by now we all know The Guest was a truly great fluke. I'd be amazed it this wasn't terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often does that happen with a big blockbuster film Godzilla v Kong was filmed in 2018, King of the Monsters in 2017. The only thing that’s odd is, as you said, no trailers even though the toys have been out for the last few months. I loved Skull Island, thought Godzilla was dull though and not seen KotM yet. But I’m a sucker for a Kong film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DEF Posted December 5, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) If it's anywhere near as good as Skull Island I'll be happy. The Godzilla's were either boring or an utter mess. Skull Island was a great monster movie. Edited December 5, 2020 by DEF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 On 12/3/2020 at 8:54 PM, Cod Eye said: Any chance of getting HBO Max over here? Â It would surprise me if we get the full HBO Max service in the UK anytime soon because of their agreement with Sky. Although most of the programming will probably end up on either Sky Atlantic or Sky Comedy. For example Sky has just purchased the rights for The Fresh Prince to air on Sky Comedy from January and it includes the Reunion show that's available on Max. Although it seems odd why Sky splashed the cash on The Fresh Prince knowing that the BBC was going to add the full boxset to the iPlayer from January also.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 11, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted December 11, 2020 I like him and I'll watch it because it's an action film but why are people getting so excited about this? Just seems like another geriaction film and they've mostly been shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
