It starts at about 53 minurtes. Leo was really laid-back and fun. loved it. Lenny Williams and Benny Del were hilarious.

.

I don’t think Warner Brothers had a clue how to market it or who to market it to so its promotion has come across as confused. Also the trailers didn’t hit and put some people off (a lot of people decide what they’re seeing based on a trailer). Finally I think the recent news events in the US have a lot of people feeling overwhelmed/ avoidant of any kind of political narrative (especially those the film appears to be against). I think it will open to 29 million (domestic) 60 million world wide but I’m hoping it has legs (Leo’s movies tend to hold well throughout the month. Hopefully word of mouth can sustain the numbers.

I will say it’s a shame BO has to be such a huge part of the conversation these days. We should be celebrating the fact this got made. I think it will have an interesting film life and do well for years to come.

I just saw it and loved it. Leo was great and so funny. I also thought Chase and Benicio were great. Actually everbody was great.

‘One Battle After Another’ Begins With $2.5M Previews, On Par With ‘Killers Of The Flower Moon’ – Box Office

EXCLUSIVE: Warner Bros‘ original Leonardo DiCaprio movie from Paul Thomas Anderson, One Battle After Another, is posting previews around $2.5M with potential for upside according to sources.

We keep hearing that advance tickets sales in cities continues to grow.

Tonight’s estimated figure isn’t far from the preview night of DiCaprio’s last movie, Apple Original Films’ Killers of the Flower Moon, which posted $2.6M on its first Thursday evening, turning into a $9.4M Friday and 3-day of $23.2M. Now that was during the 2023 strikes when the cast couldn’t promote, not to mention that Martin Scorsese directed feature take of the bestselling novel was 3 hours and 26 minutes long. One Battle After Another is considerably shorter at 2 hours and 41 minutes (and, man, does it move at a clip).

Now, Thursday previews for One Battle After Another, which started at 2PM today in 3,200 locations are under that of Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 DiCaprio movie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood which did $5.8M off showtimes that started at 4PM. That R-rated movie morphed into a first Friday of $16.7M, and $41M 3-day, a record domestic opening for Tarantino. That movie had the added boost of an early August release date, as well as the marquee power of Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie. Once Upon a Time..also had a long tail in regards to its word of mouth, blasting off with a worldwide Cannes premiere at the start of summer.

The Rotten Tomatoes Audience score for One Battle After Another stands at 87% which is higher than a slew of DiCaprio fan faves, i.e. The Revenant (84%), Killers of the Flower Moon (84%), Wolf of Wall Street (83%), and even Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (70%). Among Anderson movies, One Battle After Another is heads and tails higher than the helmer’s last movie, 2021’s Licorice Pizza (65%), as well as a point ahead of the 2x Oscar winner There Will Be Blood (86%), but under Boogie Nights and Magnolia which both stand at 89%. More updates in the AM.

One Battle After Another is expected to file in the low $20M range stateside off its $130M-$140M production cost. The movie’s fate will be determined in the long run. Warners opted to skip the spotlight of the fall film festival troika after Joker: Folie a Deux ran into a buzzsaw at Venice last year. The studio began screening One Battle After Another just as press were returning from Toronto. A win this weekend for One Battle After Another is a win for original theatrical films in the streaming era.

Leonardo DiCaprio Says ‘Vertigo’ is Key Influence for Scorsese’s Upcoming ‘What Happens At Night’

So, word is that Martin Scorsese has finally chosen what his next film is going to be, and it’s an adaptation of Francis Steegmuller’s “What Happens at Night,” starring, who else, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Jennifer Lawrence.

Naturally, given the vast amount of projects Scorsese has had in development, there’s still skepticism that the film will even happen, but doing the press rounds for “One Battle After Another,” DiCaprio has hinted in a few interviews that it’s indeed his next film.

DiCaprio was recently a guest on The Big Picture podcast and mentioned how Scorsese told him to rewatch Alfred Hitchcock’s “Vertigo” as a “reference point” for presumably “What Happens at Night.”

I’m working on a film where [“Vertigo”] is a reference point. Had a conversation with Marty about it. Any time you get to see and talk movies with him it’s a religious experience […] is she a ghost, or is she not a ghost? Is she there? Is he a ghost? So yeah, there’s something we’re working on that’s a reference to that.

It’s obviously “What Happens at Night,” a novel I immediately ordered and have been reading since the project was announced. The story tackles an American couple in a snowbound European town, which, much like “Vertigo,” sets you inside a dreamlike world where reality feels blurry. Both narratives probe the destructive nature of obsession.

“What Happens at Night” follows an American couple who travel to a snowy European town to adopt a baby. They check into a vast, nearly deserted hotel populated by enigmatic figures: a flamboyant singer, a corrupt businessman, and a magnetic faith healer. As they fight to bring their child home, the strange world around them begins to unravel—and so does their understanding of themselves and their marriage.

In “Vertigo,” Scottie’s fixation on Madeleine continues even after her death, leading him to remake another woman in her image. In “What Happens at Night,” the husband’s anxieties over intimacy, fatherhood, and mortality distort his experience, blurring the line between dream and reality. These are works about identity itself, and how unstable and vulnerable to desire and fear we can be.

So, it makes sense for “Vertigo” to be an influence, as it shares a world with Steegmuller’s novel that’s indistinguishable from a dream.

Production on Scorsese’s “What Happens at Night” is supposed to start in January, but since DiCaprio will likely be busy with Oscar campaigning for his excellent performance in ‘One Battle After Another’ around that time, production could potentially be pushed back to March.”
