    lets say kid was 5 in the first one. lets say Maverick was 30. No clue if that is right....but maverick could be 55 and kid now 30?

    Glen Powell is underrated and was incredible in Linklater’s “Everybody Wants Some!”

    Also starred Zoey Deutch.

    So freaking pumped for this movie. It’s an all time favorite.

    Agree on Powell. I actually think he would have been a better choice for Goose's son than Teller.

    So I think I read a story about how he auditioned for that role but Linklater loved him so much he gave him another part because Teller got it. Could be wrong.

    Saw where Tom Cruise is older in this one than Viper was in Top Gun.

    Do you think they are doing this just so it can hit theaters and get more money? I figure most of the editing has to be done by now right?

    US box office was $5k last week compared to $200m last year. No way they were going to release this when most of the country is locked down.

    I wonder what the PPV take would be if they offered it for $50 available for 3 hours between 8pm and 11pm this Saturday. Would 4,000,000 domestic households do that for a $200,000,000 opening? I know piracy would be an issue and they will eventually make their money by waiting, but over a hundred million people watched the last Super Bowl. A Top Gun sequel means more than the average Super Bowl to a lot of people between 40 and 70. They have a captive audience with no live sports and dwindling new TV shows.

    I think movies could make killing streaming them, offer people options, $40 for a one time watch or $60 for like 3 days unlimited watches.

    It makes sense when you realize that me and my son going to the movies costs $40-$60 in tickets and snacks, even if parking is free and we don't bring my wife, which means another $25 in tickets/snacks and another $80 for a sitter.

    I think it would introduce too much risk when (based on a completely uneducated guess using last year's box office) they're counting on a $750 million - $1 billion theatrical release.

    Ratings for The Last Dance will probably be instructive to studios to get a figure for what kind of viewership they might be able to grab with a new premium product, but I don't think summer blockbusters are the right target for that kind of move.

    You're absolutely right about the risk likely not being worth it. Also, their theater partners would definitely rather they wait.

    It would def be better for them to wait, but at what point do the studios start hurting and want some sort of profit? Even if things open up before the end of summer, I imagine people will still be a little slow to start going right back to the theaters, especially if people can get reinfected or there's a second outbreak.

    The sequel to the animated film has earned nearly $100 million in rental fees domestically for the studio since it was released digitally on April 10, the same day it was set to be released in theaters, a person familiar with the matter confirmed to CNN Business.

    Now AMC is banning Universal from their theaters lol

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/28/media/trolls-world-tour-universal-amc/index.html

    That move appears to have paid off: The studio has earned nearly $100 million in rental fees since its digital release April 10. Shell told the newspaper that the movie "exceeded our expectations and demonstrated the viability" of on-demand video.

    Wasn’t it Mark Ingram who said he rented that movie like every 48-72 hours for a week or two for his kids? Haha

    I absolutely think this will have a future. I personally love to go to the movies. Some movies are meant to be seen on the big screen. For others though, especially comedies or titles that would be maybe marginally better than on my 65” at home, I’d pay for it.

    I think kid moves works best at home, especially small kids. They don't pay attention for 2 hours in a theater so having it for 3+ days at home gives them time to watch it in pieces.

    Theaters are already really hurting. I think AMC is on the verge of filing for Bankruptcy or maybe they already have. This may put the under.

    Yeah, they have got pretty out of hand lately. I usually go to the matinee and don't buy any concession. Even then I really only go 3-4 times a year.

    If there's one movie that could get me back to a theater, this is probably it, but I'll still probably just wait and watch it at home. Sucks bc this on a big screen would be awesome.
