LOS ANGELES (AP) — Denis Villeneuve doesn’t feel like he came back to Arrakis for “Dune: Part Two.” In his mind, he never left. Photos You Should See View All 21 Images“We all walked at the beginning into this project feeling confident,” Villeneuve said. “Dune: Part Two” cost a reported $122 million to produce and is arriving in theaters not a moment too soon. Christopher Nolan recently compared it to “The Empire Strikes Back.” Villeneuve demurred, but the internet went wild. “I think that’s the way movies will survive.”

More than any film I’ve made, “Tenet” was designed to have this very theatrical, IMAX, larger than life identity. VILLENEUVE: It was not planned that I would get an IMAX film release. Or, I didn’t leave film, film left me and my heart was broken. NOLAN: I just like hearing the guy who made “Dune Two” be like “it’s all about money.” I’ve seen that film. On every film I’ve ever done, including “Oppenheimer,” I first showed it to the studio on cut and copy, taped together, splices and everything.

Time isn’t inverting: Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” is coming back to movie theaters for a week in IMAX 70mm and on other large-format screens. The limited re-release of Nolan’s mind-bender starring John David Washington will begin on Feb. 23, Warner Bros. The showings will also feature new footage from Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Two,” which opens a week later on March 1. “On ‘Dune,’ we shot several sequences for IMAX, and I simply loved it, so for ‘Dune: Part Two,’ we pushed it to 100 percent of the movie,” Villeneuve said in a statement. “I am just as eager to see ‘Tenet’ again, but now in 70mm IMAX, the way they filmed it, to fully appreciate his vision for this incredible film,” Villeneuve added.

Mean girls, Spider-Women and sandworms will headline the 2024 box office — and they'll have to do some heavy lifting. Yet, it's unclear if a return to these stories will lure audiences in the new year. Even before Hollywood was disrupted by writers' and an actors' strikes, halting production and delaying some releases, 2024 was expected to be a tumultuous year. After the Covid-19 pandemic, the domestic box office has struggled to fully regain audiences even with tempting titles from major franchises. "Sometimes an industry has to take two steps backwards before going forward again," said Jeff Bock, senior box office analyst at Exhibitor Relations.

Top summer movies of 2023, domestic Warner Bros.' "Barbie" — $612.3 millionSony's "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" — $381.2 millionDisney's "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Still, the 2023 summer box office managed to trail pre-pandemic levels by just 5.9%, or a little more than $200 million, according to data from Comscore. "Perhaps the most notable aspect of the summer movie season of '23 was its volatility," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore. "Barbie," a partnership between Warner Bros. and Mattel , generated $612.3 million between its July 21 release and Labor Day, representing 15% of the total summer box office. Warner Bros.

"Dune: Part Two" has departed the 2023 box office slate amid dual Hollywood labor strikes that threaten its ability to market to the public. Box office analysts have long anticipated that the "Dune" sequel would ditch its 2023 release date amid the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild strikes. Postponing "Dune: Part Two" might help bolster its box office gains in 2024, but will bite a chunk out of Warner Bros. After the stunning success of "Barbie," and with doubts growing about December's "Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom," "Dune: Part Two" was an important 2023 release for the studio and expected to perform well with audiences. Its predecessor excelled at the box office during the pandemic despite being a day-and-date release on streaming service HBO Max (now just called Max).

David French on ‘Arrival’ - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-06-20 | by ( David French | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
The plot features the arrival of 12 mysterious alien spacecraft that hover, silently, at multiple points across the globe. The American government recruits a linguist named Louise Banks (Amy Adams) to communicate with the alien creatures hovering over Montana. It’s interesting to contrast “Arrival” with “Armageddon,” the 1998 Michael Bay blockbuster that also features Americans saving the world. “Arrival” feels different, just as we feel different. In America, as in “Arrival,” we push through not because we’re great but because we must, because our love for one another demands nothing less.

Warner Bros. Warner Bros. is offering a wide slate of films in 2023 across drama, comedy, horror and action. Warner Bros. capped its presentation with words from Peter Safran, one half of its new duo of creative leaders at DC Studios. Zaslav says he's seen "The Flash" three times and told CinemaCon audiences "it's the best superhero movie I've ever seen." He also reassured media and insiders that Warner Bros.
I can force myself to do things that make me uncomfortable, because I know I'm not gonna get anywhere if I don't. "I'm afraid of things," Bautista said. And I just don't know if I want Drax to be my legacy—it's a silly performance, and I want to do more dramatic stuff." Whether leaving his most iconic character behind dings his marketability as a star or not, Bautista isn't concerned. "I don't care about the spotlight, I don't care about fame.
Director Steven Spielberg called out HBO Max, accusing them of throwing filmmakers "under the bus." He was referring to Warner Bros. putting its 2021 movies on HBO Max and in theaters simultaneously. "They were paid off and the films were suddenly relegated to, in this case, HBO Max. Warner Bros. released all of its movies in 2021 simultaneously to theaters and on HBO Max. At the time, the film studio was under AT&T's corporate umbrella, and boosting HBO Max was a key part of its business.
Din păcat,e mult nu întotdeauna înseamnă și bun. Astăzi, vreau să vă propun cinci thrillere, excelente în opinia mea, care m-au convins să mai revin pe Netflix. Un film cu patru Oscaruri: pentru cel mai bun film, cea mai bună regie, cel mai bun scenariu adaptat după romanul lui Cormac McCarthy și cea mai bună interpretare în rol secundar de Javier Bardem. Este un film foarte aproape de realitate, cu un casting surprinzător și cu o serie de personaje foarte bine dezvoltate. Spre final, nu mai știi cine e bun, cine e rău, dacă e adevărat sau e o minciună.

Jeff Bock, analist specializat în sectorul cinematografic și care lucrează pentru compania Exhibitor Relations, consideră că anunțul de joi al studioului Warner Bros reprezintă „cel mai mare seism pe care industria filmului l-a cunoscut vreodată”. „Warner a executat un viraj strâns, care ar putea să schimbe această industrie pentru totdeauna” a adăugat același expert. „Trăim într-o perioadă fără precedent, care ne impune să dăm dovadă de creativitate pentru a găsi soluții”, a declarat CEO-ul Warner Bros, Ann Sarnoff, prezentând decizia anunțată joi de studioul hollywoodian. Ea se va aplica în perioada următoare doar în Statele Unite, întrucât serviciul de streaming HBO Max nu este disponibil în acest stadiu în alte țări, unde filmele din catalogul Warner Bros vor fi lansate în mod obișnuit, în cinematografe, anul viitor. Lansat în luna mai, serviciul HBO Max este așteptat în anumite țări din America Latină și din Europa în al doilea semestru al anului 2021.
