This sure looks like another Disney bomba, and the lack of proper marketing seems to suggest so. Can't find any info on its budger but I'm surprised this was even made, the 2010 one was one of the biggest BO bombas grossing 190k domestically on a 90M budget.
As I believe, it's so they can get two waves out of it, one wave for those that need to see it day 1, then another wave come Christmas Time when it's relevant.
Grinch is doing a similar model.
And yes, it annoys me to no ends as well.
Given they had to bring a second director to do a long round of re-shoots, the budget for Nutcracker probably ended up being pretty high.
I think the only question regarding a new NoeS is whether or not they get Robert Englund back as Freddy.
IT's box office success last year probably paved the way for a Nightmare reboot
They have the 60M Vice coming up later this year. Let's see if they can fuck that one up too.
Has anyone seen that clip of a black man being stalked by Michael Myers and the Halloween theme song starts playing and he starts dancing and looks like he can't help but dance yet he is still terrified?, i can't find it.
Yeah, I don't think audiences excepted the last NOES without England.
What's crazy is the production budget on Halloween is only 10-15 million. Now that doesn't account for advertising but still, that is a going to be a very, very profitable film when all is said and done.
Englund is Freddy, no question about it. There are some roles out there that simply are irreplaceable, and given the hype that the upcoming episode of The Goldbergs where he's reprising the role, it's safe to say that he's going to have a lot of eyes on him real soon. The only concern is his age, but given how far that both practical effects and CG have come, I don't think he'd run into as many physical constraints as he would have used to.
With JLC going back end 10-15 million seems about right for Halloween's budget. It only has like one or two locations more than the original did, and alot of outdoor shots.
Its already a very profitable film after 3 days!
Horror movies are the fast food sodas of the movie genres. You have to do something incredibility wrong not to be profitable
I fully expect New Line will greenlight a new Nightmare. With Englund coming back for The Goldbergs, I think a good script and a legit swan song for the character would persuade him. If they follow Halloween"s lead, I would espect Heather and John Saxon back as well.
Also hopefully the allure of the dollar signs Halloween has created also gets Victor Miller and Sean Cunnigham to settle over F13th.
I had no problem with no England. I had a problem with it being a bad movie with lots of bad CGI.
I wish we got a sequel to the Friday the 13th reboot. One of the few reboots I really liked. I'd go so far as to say it is my favorite F13.
Aren't there issues with the rights to certain aspects? So, he is just going to be a killer doll. No human voodoo doll possession stuff? Or was that all BS rumors?
Nutcracker comes out in 2 weeks on November 2nd, same day as Bohemian Rhapsody.
Everyone's so disinterested in it you can't even be bothered to remember the actual release date.

He is a mechanical killer doll on the remake but it has nothing to do with the rights situation.
What happens with the rights is that MGM holds the rights to the first movie so they can remake it. Universal owns the rights to the sequels so that's why Don Mancini can do a TV show based on the current serie of movies.
The remake will not have Dourif, which is all I need to know to wait for it to be on HBO or Syfy before I end up seeing it
I'm seeing Nov 2 as release date, but yeah, that's earlier than I expected. But Disney's also got the Wreck It Ralph sequel and Mary Poppins Returns left in the year. So it's pretty much a case where Disney makes so many movies they have to try not competing with themselves.

Deserved even more than what it got. Great movie, Myers is more brutal than ever, and JLC is incredible.
They make good movies, but they can't sell them for shit. That's a really big problem for a distributor.
Doesn't matter if they spend $40-60M on them and no one goes to see them (their exposure actually isn't as bad as it looks on Sisters Brothers, but Vice is all on them). There's a reason that major studios have mostly gotten out of that budget range, especially for prestige movies.
It seems like that Megan Ellison thought she had the next Miramax on her hands, but like you said, there's a reason why so few adopted that model once they were gutted. Folks like Fox Searchlight and A24 have the right idea.
if pops is worth 50 billion and a payroller it's good for the art of cinema
Pops expects her to run a profitable business and right now she isn't doing that.
