For the first time in three years, the fall movie industrial complex is lurching back into high gear. Festival red carpets are rolled out.
The balance between theatrical and streaming remains unsettled. But after a summer box-office revival and an evolving outlook for streaming by Wall Street, theatrical moviegoing — with its billions in annual ticket sales and cultural footprint -- is looking pretty good. For the first time in years, moviegoing has a strong wind at its back. Or at least it did until an especially slow August sapped momentum due largely to a dearth of new wide releases.
Among the most anticipated films coming are Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical “The Fabelmans” ; “Blonde” , starring Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe; Todd Fields’ “TÁR” , with Cate Blanchett; Sam Mendes’ “Empire of Light” ; Chinonye Chukwu’s Emmett Till saga “Till” . Also coming are superhero films , kids movies , horror flicks rom-coms .
“Bros” , too, is something different. The film, starring and co-written by “Billy on the Street” comedian Billy Eichner, is the first gay rom-com by a major studio . All of its principal cast members are LGBTQ. “I want to make something that is just really entertaining and fun and interesting, but actually is my way of provoking conversations about real issues like body autonomy,” says Wilde. “I didn’t know it would be as timely as it is right now. Never in my wildest nightmares did I believe Roe would have been overturned right before the release of this film.”
