Wildly dumb premise executed surprisingly well

Gremlins 3 is highly unnecessary. Hell, Gremlins 2 already even made fun of itself for being unnecessary.

Overall pretty decent with a disappointing ending. Bernthal's character could've been cut and the movie would be no different.

Hopefully it gets a theatrical rerelease of some sort.

Our city added a B&B theater and I'd probably go to it if they offered a subscription service that competed with AMC's A List. I love that they have stuff like pickleball and arcade games. I remember the AMC I used to go to had arcade games, pinball, air hockey, and I think even a pool table somewhere. I still go to that AMC nearly twenty years later and they have maybe a few claw machines and the theater is much more run down than it used to be overall.

I think at some point, it may just become untenable for these giant 10-25 screen multiplexes to continue and the theater industry will revert back to smaller 1-5 screen theaters with bars and/or additional entertainment in the front area.

I'll also add that I don't think the endless dooming about how there are no good movies is actually true. I go to 75+ movies in the theater a year and I'd say 90% of the ones I see are at least decent. There's always gonna be some stinkers out there though.

I don't think it's been confirmed whether they've actually written this one off yet or not. There were reports that they had written off somewhere around $115m for scrapped projects last year, but there were no confirmations around which projects specifically were written off.

I'm not an expert in these matters at all, but if they had written it off, wouldn't they have had to destroy the materials?

Man, I hope this is good. The action sequences they put in the previews at least look pretty cool. I suspect it's not gonna be good though.

Another alternative on the fediverse is NeoDB. I'm trying that one out for the time being. Its interface is pretty barebones and could use some work, but it's nice because you can track more than books.

Nah, AFAIK they just didn't release it because they thought they wouldn't even get more revenue from it vs just writing it off. They tried to shop it around but apparently no distributors offered enough on it.
