  1. Breaking Dawn - Part 1 and 2 were the most successful movies of the whole franchise. Just saying.
  2. Not bad at all šŸ”„
  3. Scorsese’ ā€˜Killers of the Flower Moon’ Will NOT Be Delayed
  4. Interesting side note the writer of KOTFM was also at the private screening in Tulsa. Don't think I was aware of it.

  6. Maybe this means finally the end for this neverending annoying franchise. ā€˜Dead Reckoning — Part One’ Has Only Made $120 Million Domestically The fact that ā€œMission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part Oneā€ has only made $120 million in the last two weeks should be a major cause for concern for Tom Cruise. Hell, even ā€œSound of Freedomā€ has made more money ($125 million). Just to compare, 2018’s ā€œMission: Impossible —Fallout,ā€ the last installment, made $220 million. The one before that, ā€œRogue Nation,ā€ finished at around $195 million. We’ll see if ā€˜Dead Reckoning’ can match one of those. (...) What Paramount/Cruise are now hoping is that ā€˜Dead Reckoning’ has some legs — as it stands, its Rotten Tomatoes score is actually higher than either ā€œBarbieā€ or ā€œOppenheimer.ā€ The problem is that Cruise’s film keeps failing expectations, it was supposed to open at $90 million on opening weekend and ended up only garnering $78 million. To make matters worse, a sequel has already started production, before being halted by the strike, with director Christopher McQuarrie confirming that only about 40% of it was shot. The strike delays will inevitably inflate the budget, even as Paramount starts to wonder if the audience for these ā€˜Mission: Impossible’ films is dwindling. ā€˜Dead Reckoning’ cost nearly $300 million to make. Its foreign grosses have, however, been better, with a global total of $371 million. It might break even, if it’s lucky.
  7. ^wonderful news indeed Scorsese’ ā€˜Killers of the Flower Moon’ Will NOT Be Delayed Wonderful news, despite all of the release date reshuffling currently occurring in Hollywood, Paramount/Apple are planning on sticking with the October 6th release for Martin Scorsese’s ā€œKillers of the Flower Moon.ā€ The Cannes premiere was more than enough to justify a solid theatrical release, with numerous press interviews given by Dicaprio, Gladstone and DeNiro on the Croisette.

  11. Mostly because he -well- dated Gisele for some years and he's very close with Irina and her ex Bradley and hang a lot with Irina lately. Just wondering if that means Brady is now entering his friends circle LOL
  12. LOL really wondering what Leo is thinking about this situation or if he doesn't give a shit.
  13. Movies can be shown at festivals and so can directors promote their movies. Just look at that directors line up even I'm familiar with most names: Polanski, Allen, Anderson, Fincher, Mann, Linklater, Coppola, Besson, Bradley Cooper etc TIFF already listed Anna Kendrick, Ethan Hawke and Chris Pine under directors so they can put them on the red carpet and still follow the SAG rules - kinda lol Also some indies are allowed to promote their movies like Lily for her UNKNOWN COUNTRY. ā€˜The Unknown Country’ Starring Lily Gladstone And Raymond Lee Given Waiver By SAG-AFTRA Allowing Actors To Promote Film Prior To Upcoming Release But the sooner they can find an agreement the better!

  17. Martin Scorsese probably isn’t interested in ā€˜Barbie,’ but it could end up doing him a huge favor Will the 'Barbenheimer' knock-on effect reach all the way to Scorsese? Celebrated filmmaker Martin Scorsese’s resentment towards the MCU might have placed him on the receiving end of opprobrium, but his legacy of producing iconic cinematic masterpieces remains unforgettable. So much so that a vast majority of people, especially the Twitteratis, are populating social media space exhibiting their eagerness for his forthcoming movie, Killers of the Flower Moon. By now, the viewers and fans are used to Scorsese’s cinematic taste, and given the glittery, colorful, and humorous content delivered by Greta Garwig’s laudable take on feminism, it’s probably not going to be on his watch-list given his distaste for studio-backed blockbusters. Nonetheless, there’s a lingering belief that the movie will establish a similar position as that of its contemporary and widely-acclaimed epics like Barbie, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One and Oppenheimer as a potential box office behemoth in waiting. With a gripping storyline based on the non-fiction work by David Grann revolving around the killing of dozens of Osage people, along with a stellar cast boasting Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone, Robert De Niro, and Brendan Fraser to name just four, it’ll definitely be worth the wait.

  18. Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto about KOTFM Barbie of the Flower Moon: Barbie Reveals What Greta Gerwig and Martin Scorsese Have in Common The two filmmakers shared a brilliant cinematographer: Rodrigo Prieto, who spoke with us about making Barbie and Killers of the Flower Moon. There’s a short video going around on Twitter, capturing the Barbie cast and crew breaking into dance on the film’s dizzyingly pink fantasia of a set. The jubilant mood comes as no surprise, given the movie’s silly, candy-colored appeal. What could be called unexpected, though, is the sheer presence in the clip of Rodrigo Prieto, the cinematographer best known for his Oscar-nominated work on the tragedies of Martin Scorsese, including The Irishman and the upcoming Killers of the Flower Moon. Here, he’s having a ball—letting loose beside his director, Greta Gerwig. (...) Prieto first started talking Barbie with Gerwig while he was still in Oklahoma, shooting Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon—a three-hour epic that depicts the series of horrific murders against the Osage Nation in the early 20th century. He could be deep into researching Osage traditions and communities on the same day he’d go back and forth with Gerwig about that all-encompassing question: ā€œHow pink do we do it?ā€ (They didn’t opt for subtlety.) There’s a core quality that unites Gerwig and Scorsese, what Prieto calls their biggest similarity: ā€œThe love of cinema. They both love movies. They love watching movies and love talking about movies. That passion is contagious.ā€ These two critically acclaimed films being released the same year marks a high point in Prieto’s career. The Mexico City-born cinematographer was previously best known for work on projects by the likes of Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain) and Alejandro G. IƱƔrritu (Babel), before Scorsese met with him about a decade ago for The Wolf of Wall Street. ā€œIt was an out-of-body experience,ā€ Prieto says of his first encounter with the legendary director. He got the job and has lensed every one of Scorsese’s films since—which, while they’ve edged toward tragedy of late, have veered between the blackly comic (Wolf) and the contemplatively painterly (Silence). (...) The film’s surrealist, playful aesthetic perhaps masks the precise craft and consideration that went into every design element. Indeed, it’s Barbie, not Killers, that Prieto says he wouldn’t have felt ready to do earlier in his career. One thing he had to get used to—in a good way—was how loud the Barbie set could be. ā€œThe biggest difference is that Scorsese likes to concentrate in silence. When he’s shooting, he needs absolute quiet—especially when we’re beginning and starting the day, he needs to think about it,ā€ Prieto says. ā€œHe starts loosening up once we start filming, but still there’s a discipline and a quietness.ā€ How does this compare with Gerwig? ā€œGreta thrives in the opposite. On the set, she likes to joke around. She even likes to be distracted sometimes.ā€ He concludes with a laugh, ā€œSo yeah, the noise is the main difference.ā€ Prieto is known for juxtaposing different worlds and templates within individual films. His early work with IƱƔrritu, across Amores Perros and Babel, illustrates that most literally; you can also see it across the timelines of The Irishman. That work proved central to both Killers of the Flower Moon and Barbie. After Scorsese reworked his script to expand the Indigenous perspective, Prieto emphasized that focus by making the newer scenes look distinctive, pushing for naturalistic colors and light in line with Osage traditions and nature.

    B.O. TOTALS: ā€˜Barbie’ $155 Million, ā€˜Oppenheimer’ $80 Million Job well-done, Mr. Nolan. And, of course, Ms. Gerwig. Their films are now responsible for the 4th best box-office weekend of all-time. Who says cinema is dead? It’s alive, for now. Warner Bros. can also claim to have the biggest weekend debut of 2023. It’s also the all-time biggest for a female director. Will ā€œOppenheimerā€ and ā€œBarbieā€ have legs? That’s the big question now. Truth be told, I don’t think we’re likely going to see another weekend quite like this one for a very long time. The future of moviegoing is still up in the air, where does it head now? There’s also an actors/writers strike that could shapeshift the entire industry. Then again, Tom Cruise didn’t have a good weekend, at all. In only its second weekend of release, ā€œMission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part Oneā€ finished fourth with a paltry $19.5 million, a disastrous 65% drop. Its domestic total now stands at $118 million. ā€˜Dead Reckoning’ suffered from poor timing. It got caught in the ā€œBarbeheimerā€ firestorm. What a shame, especially since, when compared to summer flops ā€œIndiana Jones 5ā€ and ā€œThe Flash,ā€ it’s actually a good movie.
