Yeah, she's listed as an executive producer in the credits.She bet on herself - I believe she took peanuts for salary for back end points, and that looks like it was a smart move.

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.
Seriously? Why the fuck are they releasing this in October? I assumed it was a late November movie at the earliest.
Disney can be dumb as shit sometimes.

I think the only question regarding a new NoeS is whether or not they get Robert Englund back as Freddy.I bet WB/New Line is seriously thinking about giving that another go.
IT's box office success last year probably paved the way for a Nightmare rebootWhat I'm curious to see is how quickly
a) Halloween 12 is greenlit and
b) How quickly we hear about other 80's slasher franchises being resurrected. Friday the 13th is in legal hell, but surely someone will reboot Nightmare again ASAP.
They have the 60M Vice coming up later this year. Let's see if they can fuck that one up too.The Sisters Brothers had a $38M budget too. Annapurna has really come off as incompetent since starting their own distribution. They get the quality and talent on most of these films (usually by overspending), but can't sell them.
Yes.

No doubt bomb right there.They have the 60M Vice coming up later this year. Let's see if they can fuck that one up too.
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.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.

Oh wow. I was expecting this thing to flop big time.
He is a mechanical killer doll on the remake but it has nothing to do with the rights situation.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?
Doubt it ... oscar contender and going to get a big push .
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.Seriously? Why the fuck are they releasing this in October? I assumed it was a late November movie at the earliest.

can't believe how many ads i see for it on tv
But Annapurna makes the best modern hollywood movies?Annapurna sucks lmao
Beautiful Bomba numbers aint good either. Or Flop Man. Or Bomba Times at the El Royale.
(sorry not sorry)
They make good movies, but they can't sell them for shit. That's a really big problem for a distributor.
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.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.

I like non profit arthousePops expects her to run a profitable business and right now she isn't doing that.
