Lol @ Red One flopping, it looked so bad.

My mom & sister were in town this week, but we still managed to get some movies in!

Took everyone to Emilia Pérez, and everyone was very ??? on it. Like, no one hated it or anything, but everyone thought it was trying to do way too much, and didn't do any of it well.

Took my sister to an early Queer screening with a Daniel Craig Q&A. We both loved it - definitely less accessible than something like Challengers, but a beautiful look at loneliness. Jason Schwartzman is great comic relief. Daniel Craig gave great Q&A as well.

Then yesterday, while my husband took my mom to see Mike Myers do a Vulture Fest interview about his career, I went to see Challengers for a third time. Afterward, there was a Q&A with Luca Guadagnino + the screenwriter, the editor and the costume designer. So, so fun to see that movie in a packed theater, and I love it more every time I see it. Right now, that and Dune 2 are my favorite films of the year by a mile

Us in the ONTD watch party were not fans of Emilia Perez. I grant that it swung for the fences, but it just fell so flat.

idk anything about this shit but i feel like red one would have probably done better numbers if they'd released it thanksgiving weekend

[violue]

[cuyler_morgan]

or the first weekend of December at the very least (Thanksgiving would've crushed it, tbh...with Moana 2)

I thought red one was going to be streaming only. Has there even been any press for this movie? Or is it just being overwhelmed by the year-long wicked press?

[scriptedending]

Hah, good question! I've been seeing trailers for it for months now, but thinking back, I didn't really see much other promo aside from that. Of course, I'm sure I am not the target audience.

[squirrels_oh_no]

But who even is the target audience?!

The only real press has been about how the Rock added $50 million to the budget because he was late to set so often, sometimes by 8 hours.
