well, I will apologize if my attitude offended. I dont know where. I was even playful at one point (thats why i added the :-))
But you really can get frustrating when you latch on to a point of view and just run with it seemingly without the ability to admit when you are wrong. On occasion, you either make up stuff to fit your point of view (when you stated MOS had better legs than STID) or state your opinion as fact (several MOS and BVS discussions) rather than engage in meaningful exchange.
I want to be big enough to learn if I offend with an attitude so please tell me how i did that.
If you can allow yourself to meaningfully discuss, I will be happy to explain the difference between taking over a slate of films and purchasing the company. Or why it doesnt make sense to release a film under a name of a dead distribution company.
Y: The poster for Walk of Shame [WOSHM] has Focus World, rather than Focus Features. Trailer tomorrow. Jan 14, 12:56
nice catch, although i dont know if that means the same thing it used to mean {nm} Jan 14, 12:58
The other FilmDistrict holdover AWODT got Focus Features. {nm} Jan 14, 13:02
i wonder if they regret selling off OCULU now {nm} Jan 14, 13:07
It's still Focus Features, right? NBC Universal just folded FilmDistrict and some of its execs into it. {nm} Jan 14, 14:05
Only in name. The old Focus would never release AWODT or WOSHM. {nm} Jan 14, 14:06
and 95% of the focus employees were let go {nm} Jan 14, 14:09
Film District is gone and was never a part of NBC Uni {nm} Jan 14, 14:17
You can't release through a company or name you dont own. If you could, I would release my movies under Marvel :-) {nm} Jan 14, 14:23
Sometimes I think certain people around here are willfully obtuse. I KNOW NBCU JUST BOUGHT FILMDISTRICT. The question was... Jan 14, 14:27
Here are a few links and quotes.... Jan 14, 14:56
I really dont want to go back and forth on this with you. Its always this way with you. I gonna say this one last time. Jan 14, 15:03
No transaction! Got it! NBCU just magically absorbed all things FilmDistrict. Consider this Moviesnob... Jan 14, 15:16
well, I will apologize if my attitude offended. I dont know where. I was even playful at one point (thats why i added the :-)) Jan 14, 15:28
Since you asked... Jan 14, 19:59
Again... Jan 15, 06:40
Focus is now releasing genre films like FilmDistrict, not arthouse like the old Focus. {nm} Jan 14, 14:19
Well, they released The World's End, $26M domestic box office. So maybe they were broadening before the shakeup? {nm} Jan 14, 14:10
That's a legacy from wehn Universal still had Rogue, which released SHAUN and Hot Fuzz. {nm} Jan 14, 14:15
Focus was significantly more staffed than FD {nm} Jan 14, 14:24
Huh? Most of the oFocus employees are gone. They're not making arthouse films. {nm} Jan 14, 14:25
In 2013, per BoM, FilmDistrict had more than twice the Focus box office... (more including link) ... Jan 14, 15:11
you could point to 50 Shades as the beginning of when Comcast was changing things at Focus. {nm} Jan 14, 14:19
"Just in case anyone thought this was one of those crappy art films" {nm} Jan 14, 13:56
It's not so much that anymore, as much as what if anything "Focus World" signifies now. For example... Jan 14, 14:17
most likely a radius style release in a couple hundred theatres at most {nm} Jan 14, 21:06
