It's interesting that this hit $100 mil, a franchise first. That makes it far and away the most profitable film out of the five, but it's still not cracking my top three.

That is a huge number, and I'm happy to have been a small part of a 100 million dollar theatrical release of an Evil Dead movie... but now Guardians of the Galaxy is out and for those who have yet to see Rise will have a chance to see it digitally (on the 9th) where I have no doubt it will have continued success. A good run.
I wish the German home media release would come so fast. I do not want to sit alone in a cinema, but unfortunately my wife hates horror movies and I fear most of my friends are not so much into gore flicks either.Full details about home media release:
May 9 = Digital at $24.99 to own and $19.99 to rent (as someone who used to pay $5 to rent new releases my eyeballs just went o_0)
June 27 = DVD/4K/Etc. No firm word of extras, no likely extended/unrated director's cut (Lee shot for Max standards and the MPAA did not reject much of their footage).
You keep saying that but I still point to his "picture lock" tweet that shows his Final Cut Pro editing timeline at 2 and half hours. I think he's full of shit one way or another because what he's telling us and what he's showing us don't match.Lee shot for Max standards and the MPAA did not reject much of their footage).

I keep saying that because he keeps saying that in the press and Bruce keeps echoing him, which is frankly all I can do unless he admits there's a longer cut (if it's extent, and at that one that's apparently not more extreme and may just have character stuff, which I'd enjoy) or WB ponies it up. Like for all we know it could be more, which I would like to see, but either way no one's being forthcoming about it and I can't say it exists until it does. They very well could be playing with the truth because heaven knows that's a thing they love to do with this franchise, but until it appears the only word I have to go on beyond his Tweet is what he has actually verbally said.You keep saying that but I still point to his "picture lock" tweet that shows his Final Cut Pro editing timeline at 2 and half hours.

FWIW this is what I meant by "full of shit".They very well could be playing with the truth because heaven knows that's a thing they love to do with this franchise...
Let's keep conversations here friendly instead.FWIW this is what I meant by "full of shit".

Yeah, at this point I'm very Immune to Bruce Saying Something And Then Something Else Happening, so I keep my mind and options open. For all I know there's a longer cut, and we'll have to compare when we get release lengths. Until then, I have to work with facts until someone says something different.FWIW this is what I meant by "full of shit".
Maybe calling Lee Cronin "full of shit" is a little harsh since we don't know what else was on there, but it probably included a lot of extra stuff that was important... but not a part of the final theatrical cut of Rise they had locked in on.

Like for all we know it could be an hour of character stuff that got chopped, which I would like to see, but either way no one's being forthcoming about it.

I was going to say, I'm doing some amateur video editing in an attempt at learning things; some rough cuts can run for hours, and you never show them to any but your closest family members. Heck, there are four hour cuts out there of "Beaches" and an eight-hour cut of "Awakenings"; no one outside of the director's close circles were subjected to them before. I'd like to think we'll get an extended one, but we'll have to see.Yep. As someone who has spent a lot of time in video editing software, I can say that the timeline in a video editing project being 2 and a half hours long does not necessarily mean the edited film is 2 and a half hours long. We don't know what could be in that timeline besides the finished film. We don't know if there's any empty space in that timeline that was ommitted from the section pictured. Just pointing at the running time there and and saying it proves they cut almost a full hour of footage from Cronin's hypothetical preferred cut to get the theatrical cut is just silly.
This is the most reasonable approach to this. Every film shoots more than what makes to the final cut, so you can bet there are deleted scenes or at the very least bits that were removed from scenes that I've no doubt will surface eventually, but that absolutely does not mean Cronin's "picture lock" there ever included any of those and that we should look at it as undeniable proof that there is a secret director's cut they're "hiding" from us.
