"We have 'Indiana Jones,' we've got Martin Scorsese's new film with Leonardo DiCaprio.

Other jury members include Brie Larson of "Captain Marvel" and Julia Ducournau, one of two women to win the Palme d'Or. Out of competition, Harrison Ford will return as adventurous archaeologist Indiana Jones, 15 years since the last film in the franchise, in the world premiere of "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" on Thursday. Festival organizers are concerned the unrest seen during the pension reform protests could also make its way to the festival, said Roxborough.

  + stars: | 2023-03-23 | by ( Sarah Whitten | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Cinema stocks jumped Thursday after a report said Apple plans to spend $1 billion a year on theatrical film releases. The investment is part of the tech company's efforts to raise its profile in Hollywood and lure subscribers to its streaming service, Apple TV+, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Typically, Apple has released films directly to its streaming platform or allowed limited runs in a small number of theaters for Academy Award eligibility. No plans have been finalized, but these releases could remain in cinemas for at least a month. Last year, Apple TV+ became the first streaming service to win the Academy Award for best picture, with "Coda."
☆ Actor Tom Sizemore, known for tough-guy roles and scandal, dead at 61
  + stars: | 2023-03-04 | by ( Steve Gorman | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
March 3 (Reuters) - Actor Tom Sizemore, known as much for his struggles with drug addiction and run-ins with the law as for his tough-guy roles in such films as "Saving Private Ryan" and "Black Hawk Down," died on Friday at age 61, said his manager, Charles Lago. Sizemore's first major leading role came in the 1997 horror thriller "The Relic," again playing a police detective. On television, Sizemore won plaudits for his starring role as a police detective in the short-lived CBS television drama "Robbery Homicide Division." He was arrested again on suspicion of domestic abuse in 2016 and the following year pleaded no contest, the legal equivalent of guilty in California, and was sentenced to three year's probation. Sizemore chronicled his turbulent life in the 2013 memoir, "By Some Miracle I Made It Out of There."

Streaming services came up short at this year's Oscar nominations, announced on Tuesday. This year, it only has 15 — nine of which were for its one best-picture contender, "All Quiet on the Western Front."

Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone in "Killers of the Flower Moon," an Oscar contender for next year.
☆ 'Glass Onion' could have made $200 million, but Netflix only let it play in theaters for a week
  + stars: | 2022-11-29 | by ( Sarah Whitten | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +7 min
Netflix probably left hundreds of millions of dollars on the table by not keeping Rian Johnson's "Glass Onion" in theaters. "Glass Onion" leaves theaters Tuesday. The truncated run for "Glass Onion" also prompted industry insiders to again question the streamer's theatrical release strategy. The first film's performance at the box office has provoked questions about why Netflix has limited the release of "Glass Onion" to just one week in a limited number of theaters. "Glass Onion" earned a 93% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes from 238 reviews and an audience score of 92%, suggesting that it too could have generated the same kind of word of mouth.

☆ Movie theaters want more from Netflix, but the streaming giant isn't ready to budge on its release model
  + stars: | 2022-10-20 | by ( Sarah Whitten | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Should theatrical releases be next? That could help bring in more box office revenue and attract filmmakers with the prestige that can come with theatrical releases. Netflix executives have stood firm by their decision to show "Glass Onion" in just 600 theaters for one week. "We're in the business of entertaining our members with Netflix movies on Netflix," Sarandos said during the call. He said that Netflix has brought films to festivals and gave them limited runs in theaters because filmmakers have demanded it.

☆ 'Avatar' returns to theaters as Disney tries to hype audiences for its long-delayed sequel
  + stars: | 2022-09-22 | by ( Sarah Whitten | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Bringing the highest-grossing film of all time back to theaters has two purposes for Disney: drum up excitement for "The Way of Water" and fill a vacant spot on the theatrical calendar. The rerelease of the original film is a sort of litmus test for whether audiences still want to visit its eco-conscious science fiction world. But it never captured the cultural relevance that Star Wars or the Marvel Cinematic Universe – both also owned by Disney – have enjoyed. "Avatar" captivated audiences more than a decade ago, in part because of the technology that Cameron helped develop to film and animate the movie. Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, "Avatar: The Way of Water" tells the story of the Sully family.
