God, just bite the bullet, negotiate with the theater chains (unlike Universal/Trolls) and release it VOD.

I virtually guarantee it'll make over $100 million domestic being the only new superhero movie released, and for a movie almost definitely about to bomb thats perfectly acceptable

@DannRamm113 - Your "facts" are partly out of line. They can release NM without any serious complaints from the theater owners (T.O.'s).

The T.O.'s were pissed at Universal for two related but different things;

1) Universal was crowing about the take, thus seemingly denigrating the "(superior) theater experience".

2) Universals CEO press release seems to have been read by the T.O.'s to say that Universal was looking at simultaneous release on svod and theaters and that they, the T.O.'s, would therefor boycott all Universal product.

What they did not do was say that Universal could not stream product that was not going to appear in theaters in the normal course of business which is what you seem to be suggesting.

@JDL - The theater owners were pissed when Universal announced that Trolls would be released both in theaters and straight to VOD as well as that [frick]ed with the theatrical window. Normally, a movie has to wait 3 months to be released on streaming, thus when they first did the release they said "we will not forget this". Universal trying to say they would do this again is what lead to the theater owners screaming "boycott".

Universal could have just released it VOD and it wouldn't have been a problem, look at Warners and "Scoob" and Disney and "Artemis Fowl" The difference is they first discussed their plans with the owners saying "hey, we advertised this would be in theaters, but due to the present circumstances we want to jump to VOD. We respect the theatrical window, but the situation lends itself to this being the better option."

@DannRamm113 - Dunno if you know this but the actors in the Trolls movie are also demanding their box office bonuses even though it wasnt released in theaters, which they should honestly still get because thats what was promised to them.

Trolls isnt the only movie that gives bonuses based on box office success. No way is the VOD model going to work at all because of this, especially for less popular films that dont have a big draw. Movies depend of two releases, the theater and digital / bluray releases and everyones starting to realize why.

@DannRamm113 - How do you know if its going to suck or bomb? All test screenings and Liefield said the move is good. The trailer looks good too IMO.

The only problem why Marvel doesn't want to release it is it destroys their schedule and if the movie is actually good it puts them in an awkward position like Deadpool is doing now. Sony is already [frick]ing with Marvels schedule because Spider Man 3 and Into the Spiderverse comes out regardless of MCU delays. Spiderverse 2 comes out on the same day as MCU's Oct 2022 movie too.

@DannRamm113 - I took an hour or so to research this and sure enough some of the T.O.'s did raise a small stink about a few drive-ins and small venues that did show the Trolls film on April 10th. All of the majors had been shut down for three and half weeks and then they piss and moaned about this penny ante crap. Unbelievable. And fwiw yes I missed seeing how mad they were. In hind sight I think it was even more than was reported in those mid April articles. Nothing was really clear until the AMC CEO went Defcon 5 on April 28th.


Any idiot other these T.O.'s would recognize that what happened was that this was a VOD release with a few incidental screens booked, probably by the venues themselves. If any marketing money at all was spent on anything other than VOD I would be shocked.


That said a straight VOD release for NM still shouldn't be a problem, except, except, except, ::sigh:: these idiot T.O.'s aren't sane.

We've come so far with delaying this movie, I'm not just settling for a VOD release. So news that says that there is still going to be a theatrical release pleases me

Just do the VOD. There isn't a theater in America that has the huevos to pull Didney's slate from their theaters.

I hope this is true. I’ve been waiting years to see this on the big screen. VOD can wait.

I legit feel bad for the director & everyone who worked on this movie. I can't imagine pouring your soul into something for years just for the thing that you were working on to constantly get delayed or possibly never released.

There is a good chance they are just contractually obligated to release it into theaters.
