Guess you all don't get a lot of plurking now 
timeywimey
but this REALLY REALLY means
timeywimey
Stream only
timeywimey
there's no way there's a theatre release now
timeywimey
if they were gonna have a theatre release they would have started promoting it next week during con
BRUNO PLS
most sf-fantasy panels have left sdcc
BRUNO PLS
like rats from a sinking ship
timeywimey
huh
timeywimey
makes me wonder when we will hear anything again
BRUNO PLS
I'd keep an eye on Fathom Events, they often bring niche things to cinema
BRUNO PLS
Oh, we'll probably hear loads of stuff, just not at sdcc
timeywimey
again Im not holding my breathe the major Who youtubers are not expecting a theatre release either
BRUNO PLS
San Diego Comic-Con 2023: Full List of TV Panels
it's because of the writer's strike
timeywimey
that doesnt affefct us?
timeywimey
They're still filming in London
timeywimey
they finished filming the new season actually
BRUNO PLS
no, i mean, so many have backed out of sdcc because of it
timeywimey
ahhhh
⋆｡° hob °｡⋆
I also hear that SDCC is attempting to draw back to their roots with less 'movies' and 'shows' and more just comic things. but i kind of assume that might be because of the writers strike, really.
timeywimey
that makes sense
timeywimey
you'll get my keyboard smashing at some point
BRUNO PLS
A nice big cinema release would be great, but if one hasn't got D+ just download it
timeywimey
BRUNO PLS
download the episodes, I mean
timeywimey
yes, it is but like I said if I was Disney I would promoting it now because we're only 4 months out
timeywimey
and ontop of that as I said yesterday
timeywimey
A lot of people left after Smith and those who didnt let when Jodi came
timeywimey
we dont have the numbers like 10 years ago :x
timeywimey
We really dont
timeywimey
that was near peak numbers the time of the 50th
timeywimey
so I dont think they would fill a theatre
BRUNO PLS
depends how tight a lid they're keeping on things, too. There might be an explosion of it soon, who knows
timeywimey
but looking at it from a numbers stand point
timeywimey
and Im a Disney suit
timeywimey
You dont got the numbers RTD
timeywimey
Jodi averaged 4.3 million
timeywimey
we dont got the numbers
timeywimey
Smith was 10 million around the 50th
Exacerangutan
...let's be honest tho, people left when Chibnall took over the writing
BRUNO PLS
iunno, if s15 is apparently a sure thing when we haven't seen any of s14, someone's got some kind of faith
BRUNO PLS
besides, viewer numbers don't mean shite these days when most people just fire up iPlayer to watch at their leisure instead of carving out time to sit in front of broadcast television
Exacerangutan
I'm not gonna say Jodi was stellar, but there was only so much anyone could have done with that writing
timeywimey
they usually sign a 2 year thing we dont know if theres more then 2 years
timeywimey
Exacerangutan
yes I have pointed this out MANY times
timeywimey
BRUNO PLS
BBC America I dont think is boadcasting
Exacerangutan
BRUNO PLS
: you'd think we'd have updated viewership numbers to account for the realities of streaming on demand
BRUNO PLS
I really wish suits would realise this. People don't go to cinemas at all as much as they used to do, and they don't arrange their day around broadcast tv schedules as much as they used to do
timeywimey
Only the UK will have it boardcasted
timeywimey
It has been said only Disney + outside of the UK
BRUNO PLS
you'd think, but they probably think Neilsen boxes are still a thing
BRUNO PLS
I don't trust suits to know anything about what regular people do
timeywimey
no I dont either but they dont do Neilisen boxes anymore
timeywimey
and that was the down fall of Nick in the mid 2000s
timeywimey
because they took that away
BRUNO PLS
okay, so they're not that behind the times... XD
timeywimey
and yes its dumb that they have stopped doing that but
timeywimey
what do?
BRUNO PLS
my point is, box office and ratings numbers are no longer an accurate metric
BRUNO PLS
and should no longer be treated as such
timeywimey
yes, and they need to rework actors contracts to reflect that
timeywimey
because the thing is everyone gets a bit from the box office
BRUNO PLS
So we just might have the viewership numbers required for Who to do well, it's just most of the suits are looking in the wrong places for them
timeywimey
so they need to rework it for x number of stream views
BRUNO PLS
aye, and that's probably why SAG are striking, too, if I'm not mistaken
timeywimey
in fact gosh what Disney star was it ?
timeywimey
that her movie flopped at the box office but got tons of streams
Exacerangutan
it is bewildering how people whose entire job is to look at analytics and strategize around them are so bad at analytics
timeywimey
and she didnt get paid?
timeywimey
Given RTD Bad Wolf Studios makes stuff just for streaming
timeywimey
Im sure Who is alright
timeywimey
as far as contracts go
timeywimey
in the bigger picture that is a thing that needs to be fixed
BRUNO PLS
aye
BRUNO PLS
like with everything else, we've got these octogenarians who refuse to educate themselves in charge
BRUNO PLS
clinging to 'how it's always been done'
timeywimey
in this case I think its purposely not changing
timeywimey
I sadly wouldnt be surpised if undermining the actors while they can is a thing :x
BRUNO PLS
oh, probably
BRUNO PLS
at this point they just want to hurt people. If it buys them another yacht along the way, that's just gravy
BRUNO PLS
I say over the noise of those guillotine-blade-sharpeners XD
timeywimey
XD
timeywimey
anyways I will rarely stand up for the suits I do, however, like to put in that perspective
timeywimey
I know what mine is but to understand its good to think about both sides
timeywimey
Theres two sides to a story and the truth is somewhere in between
timeywimey
and Im betting the next strike is gonna be about hologram usage
timeywimey
aka can you bring someone who is dead 'back to life' on the screen
BRUNO PLS
oh, aye, deepfake is becoming more and more prevalent
timeywimey
or even literally creating actors so you dont have to find them in RL or pay them
