I bet Stephen Spielberg longs for the good old days when movies weren't judged on their success, based on whether they had a colossal opening weekend spread out across 5000 cinemas. 50 years ago, when The Godfather opened, people in New York had to wait patiently in line outside the five cinemas...
Saw it this evening at one of the best cinemas I've ever been to. Almost no-one else in the audience - I think I can count nine others on the snap I took. I was looking at the posters in the lobby and was wondering: "who are they aiming this film at?". I sat patiently and watched the picture on...
Totally agree with you there. House Of Gucci's trailer was tremendously exciting. I saw the West Side Story trailer several times this autumn and it was so dull. It made the movie look so dull too.
Musicals are not going to be greenlit for a while. It'll just be superhero franchises - more's the pity.
