Every now and again, a film comes along that takes off seemingly out of nowhere. As we enter August, two films are showing impressive gains in tracking: IT ENDS WITH US and ALIEN: ROMULUS. Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised, given that neither are entirely unknown properties. ENDS is based on a wildly popular book, not […]
Can F1 Shake Off A Sluggish Start?
When Apple released the trailer for F1 on July 7th, it caught many of us at The Quorum off guard. Three weeks earlier, it was reported that Warner Bros picked up distribution rights for the Apple Original Film, and the film was given a June 27th release date. But no one expected a trailer to […]
