Could probably just go with a week of Free Guy only, but would be nice if they used it to show some classic movies like they have in previous late Summer slots

My nearest IMAX is screening ‘Halsey: If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power’ on Saturday night. Looks like it’s a two night engagement: Wednesday and Saturday.

A $13 million showing for PAW Patrol is pretty good this weekend. I imagine the production budget isn't as high as other animated movies, wasn't even shown on Regal screens, and it also premiered on Parmount+.

Did they also say that heads would roll after The Suicide Squad?

It has a very low budget: $26 million. That will pretty much guarantee the movie makes money.

I detect a scent of Marvel and Disney favouritism at play here.

You're way off, the scent is coming from the box-office receipts

A lot of shock face.

It's hard for most horror movies to bomb, because they're made on the cheap

True, yet this seems to be flying under the radar.

Which box office Receipts? Warner? Why rejoice in that?

You guys turn every thread into a Marvel/Disney echo chamber. It’s tiresome.

Seems like it could use a theme song titled Whose Gabriel?

Um, let's try to be considerate about this. Maybe we can suggest that the forums start a new section where you're not allowed to mention any MCU/Disney stuff? You know, out of consideration for anyone who finds it triggering....
