A tale of two movies: Similar deal structures. Similar budgets. One made $45M from 3300 screens, post pandemic, and won the weekend. The other made $41M from 3600 screens pre-pandemic, and placed second. And yet this is the coverage.

I could not possibly convey the extent of my affection for GAME NIGHT. It was the last movie I watched with my mom before she passed away in March. She was ill and didn’t have much time left, so we watched a lot of movies. We wanted a comedy that night, and as soon as she…
In Draft Zero Ep111, we deep dive into FIGHT CLUB and unreliable narrators, and breakdown how the VOICEOVER reflects how much control "Jack" (#EdwardNorton) has over the telling of his story. buff.ly/4fz62Tf #screenwriting #filmmaking #fightclub
