To me the most shocking aspect is that IT was made on a 35mil budget. I am shocked by that. I'm sure the marketing budget had to be at least another 30mil because they really promoted the he'll out of this movie.
Incredible numbers for IT! A big 'fuck you' to those who want theaters and the movie-going experience to die. Planning on seeing the movie sometime in the upcoming weeks.
Also, Dunkirk is now at $492M, definitely locked to pass that $500M mark now. A great achievement by Nolan, who will become the first director with 5 >$500M flicks in a row.
Toronto Film Festival artistic director Cameron Bailey asked Nolan if he was worried that the intersecting time frames would be too confusing.
”Well, it's like f— it," Nolan said.
The soundtrack in IT is amazing. Gonna need the score.
I wouldn't be surprised if WB kicked this all the way into the long, long grass of January as a result so they can bury it and be done with it once and for all.

I have lost all faith in humanity.
SM passing 750MM WW means that Disney has to pay a lower fee to Sony for the movie.
Lol
GEOSTORM UPDATE...,
I went to see Logan Lucky during the weekend (which I enjoyed immensely) and the trailer for Geostorm played before the film.
However, curiously, the film's trailer didn't have idents for either Warners or Skydance during the trailer. Almost as if the studio and everyone involved, where possible, want to distance themselves from this film.
Hmmmm.
I'll echo this. Works well enough in the film, but when isolated it isn't exactly the greatest listening experience despite some good work sprinkled across. The entire opening of the film, I think, is boosted by the music and I don't think it ever really ends up being used to such effect again.I wouldn't call it amazing, but it does have some great melodic parts to it, which is rare for a horror score these days. A lot of it does rely on standard modern horror scoring, which is a bit disappointing I'll admit. Still it's good. If Wallfisch could get away from Zimmer's influence, he could great.
I just don't get that trailer. It's about 50% going for serious over-the-top disaster film, 50% early '00s disaster film pastiche. It looks like it attempts to be a joke, but doesn't commit to it fully and just feels tonally inconsistent.
I mean, the movie is going to be garbage anyway, why try to garbage it up even more with dreadful attempts at 'humor' and levity.
Why would Disney be paying a fee to Sony on a Sony funded and distributed film?
Under the licensing arrangement for Spider-Man, the Company pays the third-party studio a licensing fee based on each film's box office receipts, subject to specified limits.
The only tweak to the prior arrangement was that in exchange for its producing services, Marvel gets to reduce the $35 million it would owe on ”Homecoming" if the movie grosses more than $750 million, said people with knowledge of the arrangement.
Where did all this interest in It come from?
From everyone who grew up with the book, or miniseries, or both.Where did all this interest in It come from?
I can't find the gif of Nolan sliding around and playing on the Batman Begins set.
It's a wonder how his movies come in on time and under budget with all the goofing around he does.
Nolan Bane voice "Behind you."

I have a weird movie question and I'm not sure of the appropriate thread to ask it.
For quite a while Rotten Tomatoes has had a movie on their front page with high early reviews (8/9 positive?). It was limited release and looked kind of interesting to me. Here's what I remember:
* Scifi / horror movie
* Poster had a woman on it
* Movie is about scientist who, thanks to a teleporter / transporter accident, can no longer form new memories
* I thought it was releasing in the next month or so?
It's now vanished. I've tried looking through various release lists and googling but I can't find anything. If anyone happens to know the name I'd appreciate it.
And still insists he sees the heavenly host?The Passion of the Pennywise.
It Thrusts Its Fists Against the Posts...
Tom Hardy is so goddamn glad he's part of the Nolan inner circle of actors.
Really, really good marketing for a really good movie.
Until recently, I thought he was a pretty serious dude. Must've been the suit... and also not having watched any interviews.I can't find the gif of Nolan sliding around and playing on the Batman Begins set.

Resting smug faceNolan also has the permanent smug look on his face so that probably adds to this idea (for a long time I thought he was a super serious dude as well)
Whats the tracking on Blade Runner?

I've got passes for American Assassin tomorrow, but I'm not sure I can be arsed to go out and see it.
