Tom Cruise needs a better agent.
He probably had a good profit sharing deal on the latest Mission Impossible movie. The problem is they spent a ton on it (partly because they paid the crew through COVID), and it didn’t perform as well at the box office as expected
Paywall, but it’s my understanding that 1. Sandler is partially a function of him cranking out four movies in a year. I think he does well financially every time out, but I don’t think he’s making anything obscene on a per-project basis relative to his peers.
Yeah, just an all time blunder putting Mission Impossible out basically the same time as barbie/oppenheimer. Cost that film $200 million
I hope Statham is saving those big bucks considering how difficult he is to work with, which may begin affecting his work longevity
Looking at this some more, the budget is reported to be $291 million, with worldwide box office of $568 million. That means it likely didn’t turn a profit at the box office, once you factor in marketing and the studios only getting part of the box office take.
This one is weird because when they shut down filming for Covid Cruise made sure everyone involved still got paid. So that added tens of millions to the budget.
Watched Io Capitano and unlocked Eyebooger Premium 2024.
It was decent, but I definitely felt like the first half was better than the second half, so a bit of a letdown coming out. Frankly it had a lot in common with Society of the Snow - while IMO being a bit better - so I’m inclined to tether the two in terms of recommendation if a person has seen one or the other. But again I think this is the better film of the two.
Officially, I would swap SotS and Io Capitano out of Best International Feature in favor of The Taste of Things and The Promised Land. As is, Perfect Days is my favorite in the category, but The Zone of Interest’s inevitable win is fine.

Damn, had high hopes for this one. Would have seen it by now, but it’s rare for movies like that to come to a theater near me.
I don’t even have a great specific criticism of why the second half was worse; it just lost steam for me after I was pretty captivated by the first half. It should be said that it’s a beautifully shot film throughout. I’m definitely not recommending against it or anything.

Just checking in here from about the middle of ‘Poor Things.’ Without giving too much away: Very weird so far. I had no idea going in what it was about, we watched only because it’s a nominee and the cast. I’m only about half sure what’s going on. It appears to be set either in the distant past or the distant future. Not the present for sure. Music is weird, like they’re playing broken instruments. Movie title apparently was ironic as very few poors have been featured and everyone seems to be quite well off. Will keep you guys posted

Heh, just checked out at the half way point of Poor Things. Not because of anything about the movie, just had a few too many drinks to appreciate the second half one way or another. Saving the second half for tomorrow (or I guess technically later today)
