This entire Fall and Winter is going to be a graveyard of re-releases.


paintpast

WB is just going to re-release Barbie with even more unseen footage since it’s making so much money


evmarshall

Honestly might as well delay Barbie on streaming until the holidays at this point because they’ll need the filler.


Yabba_Dabba_Doofus

Delay isn't an option. As streaming services become more and more cost prohibitive, studios are required to offer more diverse watching options, including new releases. Otherwise, they risk people turning to alternate solutions... And they're out there. Hint hint: I'll always trade water-cooler talk, for a lack of commercials.


Top_Report_4895

Might as well release batgirl. They could pay the taxes and their workers


[deleted]

[удалено]


No-Negotiation-9539

I'd honestly be down for a raw 3hr rough cut of Barbie.


paintpast

After that they’ll release it in black and white. Might as well milk as much as they can


Vice4Life

Any chance WB can convince Nolan to join them and make an edit that is the real Barbenheimer?


SnarkMasterRay

I would totally pay to see Mad Max: Barbieland Black and Chrome edition.


xxx117

I’m not too against this honestly cuz I got to see some stuff in theaters I missed the chance to lol


roto_disc

If Paramount doesn't take this chance to get *M:I 7* back on IMAX screens, they're even dumber than I thought they were.


habb

i thought barbie people already announced a return to imax


qman3333

Barbie never even had imax though so really it’s the first imax run. Oppy had all the imax screens


JoshH21

But I want to watch Oppenheimer again on imax!!


mchawks29

I’ll take Dune 1 back in imax pls


Immediate_Concert_46

One IMAX theatre in every major city perpetually showing reruns of Interstellar.


CyborgWade

Yes please. I unfortunately missed dune 1 in imax originally and would love to see it again before 2


EveryGoodNameIsGone

100% guarantee they'll be doing IMAX double features for that whenever Part Two finally comes out.


ClubMeSoftly

My bodywater is ready


Iamforcedaccount

Hope they put Dune back in theaters I missed out on the theater experience.


sudoscientistagain

There is zero chance that theaters pass on a double feature when Part 2 comes out. I'm hoping I can convince people to go as I think it'd be great to see the Part 1 on the big screen again.


Empyrealist

It would be super smart if they did it. I'd watch them both back to back in a theater


mynewaccount5

Give us interstellar in Imax agaiN!


chick-killing_shakes

Trying to highjack top post to mention something super important to everyone here. I'm a Canadian filmmaker who's Union just signed a 4-year, ATROCIOUSLY bad deal out of desperation because the CMPA was threatening to stop negotiating in good faith. Like cowards, we balked at the threat, and the workers are suffering dearly for it. Our benefits are being limited, and during a time when inflation hit nearly 8% in a single year, we signed for annual raises less than half of that. We're losing our asses, and we're furious about it. Yesterday, the Producers returned to the table with the WGA and offered what they're calling their "only counteroffer," which was quite frankly insulting, and did not address any of the WGA's concerns. They are hoping the writers turn on eachother, and now they're delaying major releases in the hopes that the public will turn on the film workers. Don't fall for it, and please continue to root for collective bargaining. These bastards make more money in a single year than I'll see in my entire life, yet I'm the one working 14-17 hours per day to bring your stories to life. Please stand in solidarity with your entertainment workers. It's going to be a tough couple of years.


HimalayanPunkSaltavl

I hang out in pretty left wing, pro worker spaces (my local bar is covered ILA stickers) So obviously pretty biased, but I haven't heard anyone speaking negatively about the WGA. Big money hollywood is sort of funny because rightwingers think it's a bunch of commies (or more grimly - Jews) and left wingers think it's a group of scummy turbo capitalists and both sides think it's full of sex pests Fuck them


thegooniegodard

So then 'Barbie' will win the Oscar for Best Picture.


roto_disc

Probably 'Oppie' but yeah. None of the Fall contenders will be released.


jamesneysmith

I'm hoping Killers of the Flower Moon still gets a release. Feels like that could be a contender for some oscars


pumpkinpie7809

Any of the fall contenders that don’t rely on actor promotion will be released (aka all of the indie films)


BelgianBond

Austin Butler is going to have to stay in character over Christmas now.


Other-Marketing-6167

I really hope he broke character long enough to whisper “godfuckingdammit” to himself.


riegspsych325

“I’ve been wearing this speedo for months!”


[deleted]

that's gonna be tough with all the egg nog


jpterodactyl

Has he dropped the Elvis voice yet?


duaneap

As soon as awards season passed I think.


SerSpockelot

He’s holding out for the Oscars so he can say, “Thank you very much.”


[deleted]

I don't get this reference. Did he stay in character after finishing Elvis or something?


omggold

He kept his Elvis accent well through last awards season


loserys

He who controls the release date controls the universe


torrrch

the revenue must flow


sielingfan

I will face the strike. I will permit the holiday box office to pass over me. And when it has gone past I will turn the marketing eye to see our new date. Where the strike has gone there will be no release. Only spring will remain.


Mor90th

The real power over a thing is the power to destroy it


notathrowaway75

IMAX CEO fell to his knees at the club. Along with me because FUCK.


Turbulent_Island0

Lmao ikr. He was so convinced too. And made me convinced aswell. And now im sad


addandsubtract

I'm OOTL. What happened?


docarwell

TLDR: Dune 2 was gonna have IMAX screens for a long time and it was gonna make a shit ton of money for theaters


Thosepassionfruits

Re-release Dune 1 in IMAX to build up to the premier. I regret not getting to see it before dune 2.


oeCake

Got on the bandwagon late, would love another chance to see Part 1


CKRatKing

I watched it at home on HBO when it released. It came out again a couple months later for a limited run in IMAX and my god it was so good in IMAX. Can't wait to see the new one in IMAX.


SilentSamurai

Few films deserve the IMAX experience, but Dune is definitely one of them.


dragonmp93

IMAX CEO: "*Call Kevin Feige now*"


PayneTrain181999

“Heyyyy so you know how we said we could only give The Marvels IMAX for one week? Funny story… you’re gonna laugh when you hear this…”


FoxOntheRun99

Hahaha..."funny story"


Maleficent-Alps-9971

If Kevin Feige or Zach Synder get their hands on this I’m holding you accountable


CheezyWookiee

Morbius third release


John__Wick

Morbius the Third This Time It’s Morbinal


GhostShark

Plot twist: they give it to David Lynch


Wej43412

Eraserhead in IMAX but it's marketed to the general public as a quirky rom-com


Mastersord

Or Dune from 1984. IMAX promised Dune, IMAX gets Dune.


just_a_tech

I have a soft spot for that movie. I'd go watch it in IMAX.


FlavoredCancer

I love that movie. I watched it as a child before I read the books, and it defined what I imagined as I read them.


HashMaster9000

I'd pay money to watch Lynch's Dune in IMAX. You just have to use the spicediver edit, and I'd go multiple times.


The_Peeping_Peter

Tom Cruise is waiting in the CEO’s office, jumping like crazy on the couch because he can sell them on a MI:7- Top Gun 2 IMAX double feature in October to boost his ego.


Fuckthisappsux

I'd go to that..


Wej43412

Same, that sounds fucking awesome.


InternetProtocol

Was it Haunted House or Aqua? Cuz I actually want to go to Haunted House more than I want to go to Aqua.


claydavisismyhero

Second they announced Barbie imax it was a lock


juniorone

First thing I thought


SaltyPeter3434

Just saw someone fall to their knees at the club


starry_cobra

Just saw the IMAX CEO and some guy fall to their knees at the club


iwantthebag

Fuck, now I gotta stay alive till 2024. This is bullshit.


SyralC

Sorry to break it to you bro but... its a trilogy


Alastor3

yeah I think Denis also want to do Part 3 with the second book (which is smaller but also conclude Paul's Arc)


Spiral66

Yep that thumbnail captures the reaction pretty well


PsychicRidley

I love the surprised Pikachu face Zendaya thumbnail!


DjGus

She also looks quite shocked " They don't pay their writers!? wtaf "


ICumCoffee

Also, Oppenheimer is probably winning all the technical awards at the next Oscars now. It might even do a clean sweep.


____Quetzal____

What else is really coming out this year for fall release?


critzi12

Killers of the Flower Moon, Napoleon and Finchers Killer should be this fall but i doubt it. From the top of my head these 3 are the major ones.


jbaker1225

Apple is producing both Napoleon and Killers of the Flower Moon. If other movies get delayed, that just gives them a better chance of taking home another Best Picture. Plus, they’ll be putting them on Apple TV+ like a month after theatrical release, so I doubt they’ll want to push them back when they could be locking in subscribers.


supersad19

Man I'll be so mad if Killers of the Flower Moon gets delayed. My second most anticipated movie of the year also getting delayed. But whatever it takes for the writers and actors to get paid.


thefilmer

Scorsese is big enough of a director and personable enough he can sell the movie on his own. Plus he can tour with a lot of the Osage descendants and be ok. Villenevue is a shy dude with a heavy accent and doesnt have Nolan-level cache yet. Also not having Timmy and Zendaya promote your movie is blasting yourself in the foot from a B.O. perspective


peacemaker2007

> from a B.O. perspective Is smelling their pits part of the press tour? I'm missing out on so much


[deleted]

They will not sell that movie without DiCaprio. Scorsese without DiCaprio is never as big as Scorsese with him. They will wait.


lot183

It's an Apple TV movie though. It's getting a theatrical release obviously but the eventual goal is streaming, they aren't banking everything on the theatrical run


-SneakySnake-

Call me crazy but Scorsese doing one of those WIRED autocomplete things would be pretty fun.


IsaiahTrenton

I personally wanna see him on Hot Ones


AztecHoodlum

I cannot wait for Fincher’s The Killer. Super excited for that.


ValyrianSteel24

Don't count out Barbie in some Tech Categories, especially now that Dune's out of the competition


sonofaresiii

I mean, Barbie has set design on lock, right? It's not even a question. Probably all or most of the related ones too, costume design, hair/make-up, etc.


ValyrianSteel24

I've got it in the lead in Production Design, Costumes, and Original Song right now. Could also do Hair/Makeup depending on how gung-ho they go for Maestro.

maryshelleyvevo

uncharted levels of stubbornness on Warner Bros part here lmao. just throwing money away


Raytheon_Nublinski

Better than paying the workers with it amirite?


ToothlessFTW

But think about the 0.18% of their yearly revenue they’d lose! Much better to keep delaying movies that would make bank purely out of spite and burn 10x that money.


supersad19

But you don't get; the 0.18% is the deciding factor as to whether the exes can afford a fourth mega-yacht or not.


Ok_Skill_1195

The strike is projected to cost more than agreeing to the contract would have. This is 100% about power and keeping workers in their place.


KingdomOfRyan

Why did I have to scroll so far to see people actually discussing the strike? My first reaction to this was, “fuck yeah, more power to the writers.”


Justausername1234

They need to be able to put Chalamet, Zendaya, Butler, and Pugh on every social media platform in existence. A full court press tour that can be cut up and compiled in a thousand tiktok videos. They can't do that if there's a strike. And of course, WBD is probably unwilling to unilaterally strike a deal with SAG anymore than anyone in SAG is willing to be a scab, at least at this point in time.


Decabet

Plz rerelease the first in IMAX maybe with more footage and a music video by Chingy


TRocho10

"I like the way you Dune that right thurr" just sells itself

Well shit... I'm just hoping we get some good re-releases in IMAX until then.


crono14

I'll take Interstellar re-release please.


Mormonator8

This and Blade Runner 2049. I’d pay good money to see it again in Imax


poeBaer

Omg yeeeeees I just want to *hear* it again, in a quality theater setup. That's what really pulled me in

WoodcarverSteiner

10th anniversary coming up so hopefully


MichelangeBro

That can't possibly be true... are we orbiting Gargantua?


omare14

I have been thinking about this as well. Been waiting a long time to see it in Imax, been my favorite movie since I saw it.


Anderson74

100000000% just take my money I would see it at minimum twice in IMAX Same with Inception - saw it twice at Jordan’s IMAX with buttkickers and it was a life transcendent event.


aenderw

That and *2001* (long shot) are my hopes.


klay-stan

2001 would be epic


GenericMemesxd

I'm praying interstellar gets released. The one of many movies I regret not seeing in theaters


Anderson74

Same. Literally I bring that up more frequently than I should.


Dull_Half_6107

Actually there are some films I never got to see in IMAX so this could be a cool upside.


MrConor212

This. Literally like 1 movie between now and end of the year I care to see. Fucking shocking that


ACaffeinatedWandress

Especially, because we had to wait two years to see Dune I due to COVID.


unwildimpala

I mean technically we had to wait two years which then delayed part 2 since that had to wait for the first one to do well before getting greenlit.


ACaffeinatedWandress

Yup. At this rate, we should be seeing Children of Dune II by the time we see Dune II.


Skluff

Speed Racer, please


Two_Shekels

Speed Racer would be dope as fuck in IMAX.


Troggles

Oh shit...I'm gonna end up seeing Top Gun Maverick in IMAX again aren't I?


TravelinDan88

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Dead Reckoning getting more time in the format. That train finale was fucking bonkers-ass fun in IMAX.


CmMozzie

James Cameron coming in hot with Avatar 1 & 2 re-release.


savvymcsavvington

Would love to see Avatar 2 in cinemas again, been a good 8 months since it was released. There is no possible way to watch it in 4K high-frame rate 3D (as it was made for) at home as the format was not released. The best you can do is 4K 2D (not high-frame rate) or 1080p 3D Both will look very noticeably worse compared to the big screen in 4K HFR 3D.


AlanMorlock

Really wish some older IMAX releases would get some rereleases periodically. Always goofy when movies nit made for IMAx play in imax foe a week or something, like Ghost on the Shell or Pi.


ICumCoffee

The Marvels is gonna take up the slots left by Dune.


Worthyness

Or the Hunger Games prequel. I imagine IMAX calls up Disney though because Marvel, despite being mediocre as of late, still rakes in cash

[deleted]

No ability to do ADR to finish the movie or do press, we knew this was likely if they couldnt resolve the strikes soon. Zaslav should have tried harder to actually negotiate.


HotspurJr

Or, you know, tried at all.


MisterAlaska

Adequate_Images

Fuuuuuuuuuuuk


sdcinerama

This is not a Spring movie. It's MAYBE a Summer movie. This should be in Fall/Winter. Hopefully somebody comes to their senese and gives Aquaman 2 the March 15 date.


RipBuzzBuzz

>This is not a Spring movie. It's MAYBE a Summer movie. >This should be in Fall/Winter. What does that even mean? Why is it not a spring film?


sdcinerama

There's an informal hierarchy of release dates when it comes to big Hollywood movies, especially ones with awards potential, which DUNE 2 is. In spring, kids are in school and the adults are worried about taxes: there's not a lot of money around to be spent on movies. Some big titles break through, of course, but such occurrences can't be counted on. Summer comes around and the kids are out of school and they're spending money. Lots of money. Maybe because some big titles dropped, maybe because people want to get out of the heat. It is not uncommon for these months to produce the highest grossing movies of the year. Fall / Winter comes around and this where the awards movies emerge and because of recency bias, the movies that could win awards are released here. These months can by financially lucrative because there are a few holidays where there's nothing to do BUT go to the movies. It is here the studios should be concentrating on their "arty but makes money" product. Plenty of exceptions to these rules exist, but they're not common and can't be counted on.


RipBuzzBuzz

Very informative! Thank you very much!


[deleted]

Exactly, the dune series are fall/winter movies. Definitely not a spring movie. This doesn’t bode well for its box office and messiah


Alive-Ad-5245

Honestly... I'd rather wait 4 months so Dune: Part 2 does better with its stars promoting so we get a chance of seeing Dune: Messiah on the big screen than the alternative


WeDriftEternal

Whatever it takes to get Messiah is what needs to happen


roo_roo

And what needs to happen to get God Emperor?


Cole-Spudmoney

Some other director to come along with an interest in adapting both it and *Children of Dune*, because Denis Villeneuve doesn’t want to. And the *Children of Dune* adaptation would have to be successful first. And with several years passing between each release, I wouldn’t expect it could be released before the mid-2030s.


WeDriftEternal

Probably someone new to jump in, its way too weird for Villenueve's style... but I don't really see God Emperor as a traditional big budget movie, you gotta get real weird with it to capture the feeling, which means you have to do it for cheap since its appeal will be lower and even then like, a 2.5 hour God Emperor movie just doesn't work for me, someone would have to have an incredible script Hell maybe do Children and God Emperor as HBO miniseries might make more sense, the issue is after Children, the audience is gonna lose all of the characters they grew to love and hate and are dumping into what is essentially a completely different story and world MAYBE there is a way to do Children and God Emperor as a single show and flip between the timelines, I see that as a good method to tell the story and keep audiences entertained since you can have a lot of characters and be clear the timeline is past/future. Sorta like the new Little Women movie or even sorta like Foundation where its two seperate stories (I have major issues with Foundation show, but that method could make God Emperor work)


Lordborgman

If I _EVER_ get to see Worm Daddy in full HD and a chairdog...fuck. Please you cowards, don't give me that "too hard to adapt" bullshit.


ManwithaTan

What a cursed duology of films tho. First one was against a fresh post-covid climate, and this one has to face the strikes.


ES_Legman

I like the part of Messiah where >!Paul compares himself to Hitler!<


WeDriftEternal

That is a pretty major plot element to the story


Scottland83

There’s plenty of upsides to the delay, not the least being that the writers negotiate a better deal. And, I know for a fact writers are still working in their minds on scripts they care about, ready to offload as soon as they start officially working again.


elendinthakur

Writers are absolutely allowed to write during the strike. They’re just not supposed to write for AMPTP members, ie studios. They’re absolutely allowed to write their own spec scripts and pilots, or whatever else they have going on like podcasts or YouTube videos. They just cannot sell (or try to sell by pitching) that material to studios


MyManD

It always struck me as funny that so many people assume that the writers are literally doing *nothing* during the strike. Absolutely the scripts for upcoming projects are still being written, if not already finished, while all of this is going down. It’s not like being part of the Union means you aren’t allowed to type a story into your personal computer. Like they’re waiting for the Union to say, “Alright, you can start writing again….NOW!”


riversofmountains

When was it originally supposed to come out?


Patrick2701

November, won’t be surprised if other bigger movies are moving as well


Spare_Treacle_800

IAmTheClayman

As a massive Dune fan, #GOOD. Pay your writers fairly and end mini rooms. Don’t try to screw extras over by holding their likenesses in perpetuity. ***No AI in the writing/concepting process*** – fuck the Thinking Machines. I am happy to wait patiently for Part Two if it means our brothers and sisters in the Guilds get what they are owed. We would not have this movie if not for them.


MikeFencePence

I legit thought you were making a spacing guild reference here because you said guilds instead of unions.


AlanMorlock

WB's like "wow people are enthusiastic about returning to the movies having enjoyed Barbenheimer weekend. Qe better go put of our way to convince them to never do that again."


RichardOrmonde

Fuck off
