Decius posted:My first encounter with the Hollywood adaption process. But to be honest, outside from the premise (orphan Lion cub as main protagonist trying to lead) and several scenes that are basically 1:1 taken from the Anime it wasn't very similar at all. Because those people would have had to have seen OS while on Toonami, ignore the ship didnt have manipulator arms, discount the lack of super special gun shells, and a bunch of other things that screamed "girl in a box does not an anime ripoff make"

I've read a couple of things that suggest the Irish were against emancipation simply because they'd be competing for the same sport on the social hierarchy if blacks were freed. History is really hosed up.

Their remains are found in the barrows, or burying places, in sundry parts of these countries. The skulls are of low prognathous type. They came to Ireland and mixed with the natives of the South and West, who themselves are supposed to have been of low type and descendants of savages of the Stone Age, who, in consequence of isolation from the rest of the world, had never been out-competed in the healthy struggle of life, and thus made way, according to the laws of nature, for superior races."

I'm guessing there won't be any "the movie business is having its lowest week ever" stories in this thread on Monday if my local theater is any indication. Holy poo poo, it's not the busiest I've ever seen the place, but it might be the busiest I've seen the place on a weeknight after 10:00. And they also don't normally do "one movie on half our screens" thing but It was on 13 out of 30 screens, and drat near every show was sold out. E: Proper format to avoid confusion.

I mean, what are they supposed to put on those screens? Hold over The Hitman's Bodyguard for the fourth week? Increase their showings of Detroit? It isn't them getting super excited about a movie, it's them desperate for something new after a dearth of content that audiences are interested in from August.

My local theater also realized that there's a lot of Indian people living in the area so they're tapping that market pretty hard as well, and we're also getting a whole bunch of films directly out of China for the same reason. They're also having screenings of older US films like Avatar and T2 fairly frequently and had a Japanese film festival recently. I guess they can't rely on Hollywood dictating the market any longer (or at least couldn't rely on audiences to actually turn up to a cinema to see the latest blockbuster film instead of pirating it) and were forced to become more flexible. Edit: I just remembered that the cinema also runs ads for local Indian restaurants before their general movies and even has some ads in Indian and not English on occasion. It's not a small independent cinema either, it's a big multiplex which is part of one of the biggest chains in the country. Snowglobe of Doom fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Sep 8, 2017 |

Doesn't sound like too crazy an idea, it's the multiplexes and chains that have the most flexibility and screens, they don't have to sacrifice the latest blockbusters to also cater to film buffs and local interests. If anything, it'd be the smaller cinemas taking the most risks in screening more niche films.

I was involved with some people in entertainment who did say Hollywood and Bollywood were sort of feeling each other out for a merging of sorts about a year ago industry wise. It's nice to see recognition for more global cinema and having access to it.

I remember one time (I think it was last year), I went to a local AMC theater to see something completely different, but there was this Bollywood movie premiering that night and there were literally hundreds, maybe even a couple thousand Indian people there for that. It was rad but also kinda baffling because I had no idea we had that kind of Indian population here. There's a few great Indian restaurants here but I didn't know the number was that high. I'd never seen so many Indian people in one place before, especially not here. They definitely made every other race there a minority that night. It was a surprisingly neat eye-opener.

I feel like that shot of Reid has to be from an American Pie promo still or something. Edit: First GIS result, looks like some magazine photo shoot, they just Photoshopped less skimpy clothing on her.

I thought it was mostly Alone in the Dark that killed her career, honestly. She was pretty consistently cited as one of the most awful parts of that awful movie.

IT did over $13 million last night, which is in line with movies like PoTC: The Worlds End and the first Hobbit Movie. Based on their opening weekend, It's opening weekend could be between $85-$110 million.
