In the note
Now this is one half of one day so far, and we've still got the rest of the weekend with all the holdover possibilities in both directions; but when you consider that STX is making this happen with their media model that spends a fraction of what is standard in the industry, if you have a participation position in this film, there's a good chance there's rain in your future. #3 The Goldfinch - Based on the epic Pulitzer Prize Winning Novel (which apparently holds some sort of record as the Pulitzer Prize Winner that most people don’t finish), this all star adaptation just doesn’t look very good right now.
Friday, September 15, 2023 Third weekend of September 2023
In the note
As expected this weekend will be better than the same weekend last year (The Woman King, See How They Run, Pearl, Moonage Daydream) and a decent amount behind 2019 (Hustlers, The Goldfinch).
