The new Dune movie shifting to Oct 2021 instead of Dec 2020? The good thing about the pushout is that, hopefully, the pandemic should be over by October 2021. And that going to a movie theater should be safe by Oct 2021. Other than that, this is just another sign that the virus will be with us for a much longer period than originally stated, then revised, then revised again and again. Who do you trust? The short answer: nobody. Politicians are shielded by the law from false and misleading claims. US death toll from the corona virus so far in 2020: 210K. Way to go, Trump. You're doing a great job. You criticized Obama for 12K deaths from the swine flu. But Trump's numbers are much higher. And he keeps saying what a wonderful job he did protecting the American people. ------- ------- ‘Dune’ Drifting Away From December To October 2021 05 October 2020 by Anthony D'Alessandro Deadline ‘Dune’ Drifting Away From December To October 2021 We’re hearing that Warner Bros. release of Legendary’s Dune is no longer going on Dec. 18, rather Oct. 1, 2021. Many in distribution land always believed it was too good to be true for Warners to keep two major tentpoles –one a franchise starter, the other a franchise sequel– within days of each other, given P&A spend, especially with Wonder Woman 1984 still set for Christmas Day. The news comes in the wake of Cineworld and Regal closing. Exhibitors were informed by the studio to push out Dune materials during Tenet‘s early September debut, which included a teaser trailer as well as the official trailer dropping for the Denis Villeneuve reboot of the Frank Herbert novel; the last version being in 1984, directed by David Lynch. Villeneuve’s version of Dune stars Zendaya, Timothee Chalamet, Jason Momoa, Dave Bautista, Josh Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Stellan Skarsgard, Javier Bardem and Charlotte Rampling among many others. | |

I suspect that major tent pole movie release dates are a better indication of current thinking of when the virus epidemic will disappear. That is why I'm checking on how the release dates are changing. Moving a release date for a major tent pole from 2021 to 2022 means what? That the epidemic won't be gone anytime soon? That movie production is going to be impacted even more than most politicians are lying about? Granted politicians lie, but when can we expect the epidemic to end? When we can go out in public without wearing masks? When we can eat at a restaurant? See a movie in a theater, without worrying that we might get sick and experience terrible pains, and maybe even die? -------- -------- ‘The Batman’ Delayed to 2022, ‘Matrix 4’ Release Moves Up 06 October 2020 by Rebecca Rubin Variety - Film News ‘The Batman’ Delayed to 2022, ‘Matrix 4’ Release Moves Up “The Batman” will no longer hit theaters in 2021. In another major release calendar overhaul, Warner Bros. has delayed the comic book adventure and a number of other movies, including “The Flash” and “Shazam 2.” “The Batman” — starring Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader — had been scheduled for Oct. 1, 2021. It’s now set to open on March 4, 2022. As reported earlier on Monday, Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic “Dune” is no longer premiering on Dec. 18 and will instead move to the Oct. 1, 2021 date previously held by “The Batman.” Other significant shifts include the Lana Wachowski-directed “Matrix 4” bowing several months earlier than expected. The upcoming sci-fi thriller — which sees the return of Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss — had been set to open on April 1, 2022 and is now debuting on Dec. 22, 2021. The studio also plans to release two yet-to-be-announced films on June 3, 2022 and Aug. 5, 2022. In turn, “The Flash” starring Ezra Miller vacated See full article at Variety - Film News » | |

Trump announces victory over COVID. Trump has beaten the COVID virus. He is now stronger than ever. His natural immune system is the envy of political leaders from every nation. Trump also says there is nothing to fear from COVID. What's the worst that can happen? You get sick, suffer a bit, then maybe die. So what? Focus on what really matters: making America great again. America has far more people than the 210,000 that have died. So go vote for Trump, the most humane, most caring President of the US we've ever had. ---- ---- Trump returns to comparing COVID to the flu: 'We have learned to live with it' Yahoo News Dylan Stableford Oct 6th 2020 9:47AM President Trump on Tuesday continued to downplay the threat of the coronavirus after his release from the hospital while still under treatment for COVID-19, asserting that the virus that has killed more than 210,000 Americans is "far less lethal" than the seasonal flu “in most populations.” "Flu season is coming up! Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu," Trump tweeted on Tuesday morning. "Are we going to close down our Country? No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning to live with Covid, in most populations far less lethal!!!" Across the whole population, though, COVID-19 has been much deadlier. According to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, the worst flu season in the last 10 years was 2017-2018, when an estimated 61,000 Americans died. In 2018-2019, there 34,000 U.S. deaths attributed to influenza. In 2019-2020, there were 22,000. And comparative fatality figures don’t tell the whole story. There is increasing evidence that some number of coronavirus survivors have symptoms including fatigue, cough and cognitive problems that last for months, and organ damage that may be permanent. Those complications generally do not arise in people who recover from the flu. On Monday night, the president returned to the White House after a 72-hour stay at Walter Reed Military Medical Hospital for coronavirus treatment. Since testing positive for COVID-19 late last week, Trump has received an experimental antibody cocktail along with the antiviral remdesivir and the anti-inflammatory steroid dexamethasone. In announcing his pending departure from the hospital, Trump tweeted, “don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life.” He later posted a video to Twitter doubling down on that message, adding: “Now I’m better, and maybe I’m immune, I don’t know.” In reality, Trump likely remains contagious, and researchers have not yet concluded whether infection with coronavirus conveys lifelong immunity from re-infection. As of Tuesday morning, at least 210,196 Americans have died from complications related to COVID-19, none of whom received near the same level of medical care that the president received at Walter Reed. President Trump gives a thumbs up to photographers upon returning to the White House from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Monday. (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images)Getty Images Trump has long sought to publicly downplay the severity of the coronavirus while privately acknowledging its threat. In an interview with Bob Woodward on Feb. 7, Trump told the journalist that he knew the virus was “more deadly than even your strenuous flus.” “You just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed,” Trump said, adding: “This is deadly stuff.” But in a tweet on March 9, the president expressed the opposite view. “So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu,” he tweeted. “It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!” This was an effort, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany explained after excerpts from Woodward’s book appeared, to avoid creating a “panic.” McEnany disclosed on Monday that she, like more than a dozen other people who have been in contact with Trump over the last week and a half, has tested positive for the virus. | |

I had it in mid January and let me tell you what man, it was the absolute worst I have ever been sick in my life! It's no joke, it's very real and no hoax. I reading now that since the studios are now postponing major releases that some theatre chains are closing back up until they start coming out again. Scary to say but I think we're going to be dealing with covid for a few years. Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.

Drive-in movies will now qualify for the Oscars. When I was growing up (back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth) drive-in movies were aimed at teens. But in today's world, drive-in movies are now considered classics, suitable for inclusion in the Oscars. Will Roger Corman be the first C-movie director to win the Academy Award? Stay tuned, for further developments. ------ ------ October 07, 2020 2:56pm PT by Scott Feinberg Oscars: Drive-In Screenings Will Now Count Towards Eligibility (Exclusive) Films that screen at drive-in theaters will need to show only once a day, as opposed to three times a day for films that screen elsewhere. It would have been hard to imagine a year ago, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voted on Tuesday that drive-in screenings will now count towards qualifying a film for the 93rd Oscars, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. For drive-in screenings, there will only be one screening per day required, as opposed to three for all others. The move was part of a series of tweaks to Awards Rule Two regarding eligibility, following a first wave of COVID-related changes that were announced back in the spring in response to theater closures, the most notable of which was allowing films that were no longer able to proceed with a planned theatrical release to still qualify if they screened on a streaming or VOD platform first, provided they then screened on the Academy Screening Room members-only streaming service within 60 days thereafter. With the gradual re-opening of theaters, the Academy has added this two-part addendum: 1. Films which are intended for theatrical release, but are initially made available through commercial streaming, VOD service or other broadcast may qualify by making the film available on the secure Academy Screening Room member site within 60 days of the film’s streaming/VOD release or broadcast. 2. Films may qualify with a traditional theatrical release, completing a seven-day run in one of six qualifying cities (Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco/Bay Area, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta), screening at least three times daily, with at least one screening between 6 pm and 10 pm daily. Additionally, drive-in theaters in these cities will now qualify as a commercial venue, however, the screening requirement will be adjusted from three times daily to once daily. Films that have a theatrical release are not required to submit to the Academy Screening Room within 60 days — it is optional. The 93rd Oscars will take place on April 25, 2021. | |

I think the entertainment industry as a whole has got their proverbial heads up their asses when it comes to ward shows be they the Emmy's, Golden Globe or the Oscars. The simple truth is that I suspect many people are tired of seeing celebrities give each other pats on the back for the great work they are doing and this has been especially true in the last few years but so much more this year. There are over a million people dead in the World from Covid with over 214,000 just in the US. The US is about to reach the milestone of at least 1% of their entire population killed by Covid and Hollywood still thinks people want to watch an award show be it live or virtual. The fact that many movies aren't eligible for nomination because they couldn't be released in a theater and they ahd to include drive-ins is just the tip of the stupid iceberg. They are pushing just about every movie currently in the can to late next year or 2022 while still filming new movies when maybe they should look for streaming options which would ingratiate them to the general public who need to think about something other than Covid and can't go to a theater to see a movie but have a large screen TV that will be more than enough to enjoy most/all movies. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Patty Jenkins Warns Theater Shutdowns ‘Will Not Be a Reversible Process’ Jenkins' upcoming "Wonder Woman 1984" has been shuffled around on the calendar four times due to the pandemic. Ryan Lattanzio 5 hours ago “Wonder Woman 1984” Warner Bros. One of the major moviegoing casualties of the COVID-19 pandemic has been Patty Jenkins’ upcoming DC tentpole “Wonder Woman 1984.” The sequel starring Gal Gadot as the title superhero has been shuffled four times on the release calendar by Warner Bros. due to the global situation, but the movie is now expected to open as a Christmas Day release on December 25, 2020. It was originally set to open June 5, then August 14, then October 2. Meanwhile, Cineworld-owned Regal venues have shuttered their doors around the world once again, and significant markets like New York and Los Angeles remain closed to audiences. In a recent interview with Reuters, “Wonder Woman 1984” director Jenkins warned that the damage done by theaters shutting down entirely will be difficult to undo, and Jenkins is joining the chorus of Hollywood directors appealing to the U.S. government to help save cinemas. “If we shut this down, this will not be a reversible process,” she said. “We could lose movie theater-going forever.” Though nearly three-quarters of U.S. theaters are open, and “Tenet” resuscitated the global box office with healthy returns to the tune of more than $307 million, studios like Warner Bros. are continuing to push their movies off into next year, from “Dune” to MGM/United Artists’ “No Time to Die.” “It could be the kind of thing that happened to the music industry, where you could crumble the entire industry by making it something that can’t be profitable,” Jenkins said. She also added, “I don’t think any of us want to live in a world where the only option is to take your kids to watch a movie in your own living room, and not have a place to go for a date.” Another movie heading the straight-to-VOD route is Disney/Pixar’s “Soul,” pushed off its November release and debuting on Disney+ on December 25. But Jenkins and Warner Bros. continue to insist that VOD play is not being considered for “Wonder Woman 1984.” “I really hope that we are able to be one of the very first ones to come back and bring that into everyone’s life,” she said of the movie’s role in hopefully jumpstarting moviegoing again this winter. | |

I'm really curious to know how she can say that when the last time we had a similar World Pandemic was over 100 years ago. That particular pandemic killed 20 to 50 millions people and over 500,000 Americans. People went back to see plays in theater after that so why wouldn't people go back to see plays and movies in theaters a year or two from now? Does she believe that just because theaters chains go out of business that someone looking to make money wouldn't just buy the existing properties and go back into business? Long live the Brown Coats. | |

My take on "Patty Jenkins Warns Theater Shutdowns ‘Will Not Be a Reversible Process’": The big movie chains are being hurt financially, so there will be less movie theaters still around in the coming years. Which probably means less profits for the big tent pole movies (like Wonder Woman, etc.). The introduction of television dramatically hurt the movie industry. Movie attendance fell a lot. Almost no one now living were adults in the Golden Age of Hollywood, the 1930s-1940s. Although movies in the 50s, 60s and 70s were still popular, I think the attendance figures dropped a lot. That's just my impression. The profits didn't nosedive, because the price of movies kept rising. And instead of showing two movies for one ticket, you paid one ticket for one movie. And the price of concession food rose even faster. Again, just my impression. Not based on any studies of the prices or actual history. So Patty Jenkins is stating there could be, and probably will be, a dramatic hit to movie attendance from the corona virus, that will last well beyond the current year. At least, in Hollywood. But see the next article, which shows that China is now poised to become the biggest market for movies in the world, surpassing the US. | |

Variety Oct 12, 2020 3:05pm PT China Box Office Poised to Surpass U.S. as World’s Largest Moviegoing Market Amid Pandemic My People, My Homeland China’s patriotic “My People, My Homeland” has grossed $325 million as of Monday evening local time, earning more money in less than two weeks than the $323 million that Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” has grossed globally in over a month, according to data from Maoyan and Box Office Mojo. This weekend, the total China box office hit $68 million, once again far surpassing sales in North America, where cinemas earned less than $9.5 million. To date, the Chinese box office has grossed $1.9 billion so far in 2020. Although this marks a 76% decrease year-over-year, the tally puts China now neck-and-neck with the North American market’s year-to-date earnings of $1.92 billion. Cinema-going is on the rise in China as the pandemic remains under control, with strong local films set to release in the remainder of the year. Meanwhile, U.S. theaters are heading for trouble as Hollywood studio tentpoles drop off the calendar and the coronavirus continues to rage across the states. Given these factors, it now seems inevitable that the Middle Kingdom will surpass the U.S. as the world’s largest film market in 2020 in a matter of days or weeks. The performance of “My People, My Homeland” demonstrates the extent to which China’s market has recovered in the wake of COVID-19 and remains robust enough to send local tentpoles too jingoistic to entice audiences abroad nonetheless soaring to great heights. Produced by “Wolf Warrior 2” and “The Wandering Earth” studio Beijing Culture, the film once again led the box office this weekend with sizable sales of $38.2 million, according to figures from consultancy Artisan Gateway. The omnibus title features five shorts from a who’s who of China’s most bankable directors: Ning Hao (“Crazy Alien”), Xu Zheng (“Lost in Russia”), Chen Sicheng (“Detective Chinatown 3”), Yan Fei and Peng Damo (“Hello Mr. Billionaire”), Deng Chao (“Shadow”) and Yu Baimei (“The Breakup Guru”). Behind it in second place was Enlight Pictures’ animated film “Jiang Ziya: Legend of Deification,” which made $10.2 million this weekend to bring its cume up to $216 million. The Maoyan platform predicts it will go on to earn just $10 million more over the course of its run — a lesser performance than that of last summer’s “Nezha,” the $720 million-grossing animated hit from the same universe that precedes this tale. In third place was the Gong Li-starring volleyball drama “Leap,” directed by Hong Kong’s Peter Chan, which made $7.6 million in its third weekend in theaters. Local comedy “Coffee or Tea” came in fourth, with $7.1 million in sales. The Jackie Chan-starring action film “Vanguard” brought up the rear in fifth with a box office of $2.6 million, bringing its cume up to $35.7 million. | |
