The box office legs for this film are insane. Well deserved as well. Currently outpacing Oppenheimer domestically at the 5 week mark for both films.
I went to see it a second time this weekend with family. Theater was still ~75% full which was shocking to me
Watched it last night. Thought the first half was good but wasn't exactly sure where it was going with it all. Was an emotional wreck for the second half. I can't believe they made me so deeply care about a sentient pile of rocks. Incredible cinematography too.
So, despite now being available digitally, this still only dropped an estimated 40.9% in its ninth weekend.
really excited to watch this again, but i'm holding off until i can set up some LED backlights for my TV. been looking for ways to incorporate mood lighting into my apartment, and i wanna grab a Govee set and break it in with PHM.
FIST MY BUMP What an excellent movie. Went in mostly blind, all id seen were the commercials shown on TV so I was hella surprised with Rocky.
Amazon signed a physical distribution deal with Alliance Entertainment recently, and some people have complained that they'll only do dual-layer UHDs with little to no special features and no digital codes. here's hoping they can knock it out of the park spec-wise with PHM, because it is odd to think about the possibility of them fitting a film of that length on a disc that isn't 100 GB.
i have a digital copy of the film on my hard drive, and when i loaded it onto my GTV Streamer (just playback from the drive using VLC, because i don't have the means for a Plex server), it defaulted to HDR10+ over Dolby Vision (even though my TV supports both), but even those few shots i watched looked fantastic on my TV.
yeah, i'm pissed about the possibility too. would've been great if they held onto their deal with Warner/SDS a bit longer, because spec-wise, Warner generally does a great job.
Ah that's frustrating! I have a GTV Streamer in the living room and Apple TV 4K in the bedroom. DV worked fine on Plex in my bedroom but didn't try my GTV
i think it's a VLC-specific issue, or perhaps just how the HDR layers in the file are recognized by VLC (i think it might've been a newer DV standard, which the TV is capable of playing, but VLC might not default to if the HDR10+ layer jumps out as "more compatible"). i'm sure it would play back fine in DV if i was using Plex/Kodi/Jellyfin. my UHD player only does Dolby Vision and HDR10, so it'll definitely work that way whenever Amazon drops the physicals.
