I do want to see this but I won't be going to a theater to do it.

I wanted to see WtM but the reviews are saying it's bad and to skip it and watch the documentary instead.

I thought it made like $65 million opening weekend?

From what I've heard, it takes the real situation and makes it 10000% more inadvertently creepy and stalker-y.

Zemeckis casts his wife, Leslie Zemeckis, as Mark’s favorite actress, who stars in pornographic films.

Was ther promotion for The Mortal Engines? Tbf I dont have live TV but even the trailers shown before other movies was the same one over and over

I don’t watch live tv either but AMC had it in EVERY slot for every film I’ve seen (at least 20?) since like August or something. There should’ve been a SDCC panel for it tbh. According to what I’ve heard in the trailers, there’s a LOT of similarities Cassandra Claire might’ve borrowed... down to the name of the brand and the name of the antagonist
