HBO Max will list it later, as it legally has to go there.

I guess that means when Murder on the Orient Express finishes it's contractual obligations, it will go to Hulu (for now) also.

Gotta hand it to the marketing team. I read all their social media stuff in Branagh's Poirot voice for better or worse.

I saw this in theaters. The first 40% is shockingly bad, visually, cinematically and narratively, but once it locks into the actual murder and the mystery it gets much better. Not as good as Orient Express, but mostly because the opening hour is rough

I just finished listening to the book on Audible (shoutout to the Kenneth Brannagh version, I really enjoyed it), and sounds like the book too. I didn't enjoy it very much until the murder.

it was a solid film and i enjoyed it more than Orient Express, largely because it dedicates much of it's first act to fleshing out the characters (although that comes with the caveat that it has a very, very silly and overwrought backstory for Poirot's huge moustache). shame about Hammer and Wright's inclusion tho

Fantastic! Can't wait to see this. The delay has sucked but this worked out nicely in the end. We still aren't going to the theater much or I'd have been there day 1..
