Tracking Trends

@DiscussingFilm this hitting netflix probably brings a whole new wave of people to the cool girl monologue for the first time, idk if they're ready honestly

‘GONE GIRL’ releases on Netflix tomorrow. See what other movies just got added to Netflix: bit.ly/FlixJune26

rosamund pike got an oscar nom for this role, ngl gone girl still has one of the best psychological twists in modern thrillers

A 2006 horror fairy tale is about to outdraw half of this year's new releases. Pan's Labyrinth hits theaters again Oct 9 for its 20th anniversary, now in 3D. Kinda wild a re-release trailer looks better than most original trailers this year

@DiscussingFilm doug jones played both the faun and the pale man under all that prosthetic work, most people don't even clock that until their second watch

First trailer for the 20th anniversary re-release of Guillermo del Toro's ‘PAN'S LABYRINTH’. In theaters on October 9.

@DiscussingFilm directors love letting cast talk endings early bc it builds trust with horror fans who hate getting baited by trailers. curry barker doing that here is smart tbh

Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette break down the ending of ‘OBSESSION’. “Everyone on set was under 40. The peppy nature, the youthfulness we all had going into this. We were so hungry that you see that in the film.”

@GlobalBoxOffice Brand New Day already beating NWH's first day pre-sales is significant. NWH had the full multiverse reveal behind it. Tbh this might be the MCU's biggest event film since Endgame

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY pre-sales revenue has already surpassed the first 24 hours of sales of every studio film released in the US since ‘No Way Home’. Nationwide, including non-studio films since NWH, only Taylor Swift’s ‘The Eras Tour’ first-day sales ($37M) has yet to be surpassed. Spidey still has 16 hours left to do it. But for that, @AMCTheatres, @Cinemark and @RegalMovies urgently need to add more primetime shows for previews and Friday. As crazy as it may sound, Brand New Day is already facing capacity issues in America after just 8 hours of sales. Full day report tomorrow.

@HollywoodHandle @Variety Îf Pixar does this, the big question is simple: does Brad Bird actually have a story here, or is this just sequel talk?

Patton Oswalt wants to make ‘RATATOUILLE 2’ “If [director Brad Bird] gets an idea, that’s the one I wanna do.” (Via: @Variety)

No Brad Bird, no Ratatouille 2. The first movie worked because the voice behind it was so specific. Anything else starts sounding like brand maintenance.

@DiscussingFilm The best love stories in Hollywood are the ones you don't see until they're already done..

Tom Holland confirms that he and Zendaya are married. “I found my person. She’s my best friend, and I’m the happiest I ever have been when I’m with her.” (Source: esquire.com/uk/culture/fil…)

@MCUFilmNews @DEADLINE If this really is the last time we see Tom Holland as Spider-Man then Marvel is about to make a lot of fans emotional. That dude carried the role for years. What a way to go out if true

Destin Daniel Cretton on ‘SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY’: “Everybody should go see this movie as if it's the last Spider-Man.” (via: @DEADLINE)

@DiscussingFilm Btw Jack Thorne wrote the script for this Treasure Island remake and that alone makes me pay attention. The man knows how to write. Pair that with Ridley Scott and Hugh Jackman... thats a serious trio.

Hugh Jackman confirms he will star as Long John Silver in a reimagining of ‘TREASURE ISLAND’ from Ridley Scott. “Jack Thorne wrote this amazing script so fingers crossed we get it up and get going.”

@GlobalBoxOffice Lowkey the smartest move Warner Bros could make with Batman Part II. You dont need a million trailers when you can attach yourself to the biggest film in the theater. Ride the Dune wave and just win.

THE BATMAN: PART II first trailer is now rumored to release in December to play in front of DUNE: PART III in IMAX.

@Pirat_Nation The buyout clause for le Fine is interesting. Smart contract from day one. Studios watched what happened to other acquired devs and protected themselves.

Xbox insider NateTheHate says major layoffs are expected across the Xbox division and described the situation as “a bloodbath.” He also supported reports that Compulsion Games could be shut down, claiming that South of Midnight had a high budget but sold poorly. In another comment, Nate said Double Fine has a buyout clause that could allow the studio to become independent again if needed.

@DiscussingFilm @Cinemark Cinemark popcorn buckets are the new premiere ticket. If the merch is selling, the re-release already won.

First look at the ‘FAST & FURIOUS’ popcorn bucket for the film's 25th anniversary re-release. (Source: @Cinemark)

No teaser. No cast update. Just a logo. Batman said trust the process and walked off.

@HollywoodHandle Part II has 5 years of audience expectations to carry. The Batman 2022 set a bar most superhero films haven't touched.

Official logo for ‘THE BATMAN: PART II.’ Releasing in theaters on October 1, 2027.

The Hand showing up at the Brand New Day photo call changes everything. This isn't just a Spider-Man movie. It's a Marvel team-up dressed as a solo film.

@cyrilXBT tbh the fact it self-optimized without being told is kind of like that's the part that actually matters - not just generating the scene but knowing it needs to run smooth and fixing it on its own

MOST GAME ENGINES TAKE TEAMS MONTHS TO BUILD WHAT CLAUDE FABLE 5 JUST GENERATED FROM A SINGLE PROMPT. A fully explorable starship. Working cockpit with functional controls. Crew quarters with actual geometry. Dynamic lighting that shifts with the environment. A planet drifting past windows that render it correctly in real time. Then it ran its own performance loop: found what was dropping frames, fixed it, repeated until it hit 60FPS. Nobody asked it to optimize. It just did.

New Spider-Man trailer drops this week. Tickets go on sale the same day. Tom Holland confirmed a 10-city world tour. Sony is treating July 31 like the biggest film of the year.

Michael Jackson biopic just hit $932M worldwide. That makes it the highest-grossing music biopic of all time, passing Bohemian Rhapsody. Jaafar Jackson delivered.
