FYC: We should bring intermissions back in movies. Some context, I’ve been working through every Oscar Best Picture nominated movie. Wings (1927) won the first Oscar for Best Picture, and is about 2.5 hrs in length. This was considered a very long film for its time — but seems to be about the average for blockbuster flicks these days. Of the top grossing films of 2024, about 25% of these are over 2 hrs. Bringing back intermissions would allow for additional concession sales, restroom use, and allow time for moviegoers to reflect on the experience thus far, perhaps with friends or family they went to the theatres with. I think people are struggling to see the movies as a place where they need to be. Formats like IMAX, Cinemark XD, Dolby Cinema are winning lately because frankly you cannot recreate that experience at home. Bringing back intermissions would help audiences to distinguish the cinema once again as an experience within its own.

🚨 NEW TRAILER ALERT 🚨 Careful who you assemble.   Marvel has just dropped the first teaser for Thunderbolts*, and the internet is buzzing! This action-packed film brings together some of the MCU’s most infamous anti-heroes—The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Red Guardian (David Harbour), John Walker (Wyatt Russell), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) and Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko). Assembled by the head of the CIA, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), they're sent on a high-stakes mission that could be a deadly setup, and with the mysterious character Bob in thrown in the mix, nothing is as it seems.   Fans are still debating what the asterisk in the title means, but one thing's for sure—this film could mark major developments in the MCU's future. Think Marvel’s answer to Suicide Squad with a twist of espionage and government conspiracies.   Get ready for a wild ride as Thunderbolts promises to conclude Phase 5 of the Multiverse Saga, with plenty of twists, betrayals, and brand-new faces.   Thunderbolts* releases in cinemas May 1, 2025.   #ValMorganCinema #NewTrailer #Thunderbolts

With planning well underway for our events at Cannes Film Festival, this spring we're opening an investment round at recdek. UK tax payers get 50% on their investment back via HMRC (apologies rest of world investors #dontletthatputyouoff). At recdek, our social platform to save you from forever scrolling streamers, we believe entertainment recommendations from friends and family are so much better than algorithms. We believe in keeping you up to date with entertainment's zeitgeist. We believe in enthusiastic debate between friends. We know that scrolling Netflix for something to watch is a waste of your precious leisure time. We know there should be a better way for audiences around the world to discover shows meant for them. We have evolved enormously over the last 12 months, a whirlwind of new features going live every month: - Integration with IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes.  - Follow publications like The Times and The Guardian, and film festivals like BAFTA and Sundance.  - Browse your friends profiles to see what they’ve been loving. - Checkout trailers, cast, directors, and rate shows. - Curate your watchlist for whatever you’re in the mood for. But our story is only just getting started. Life is often about progression and connection. So despite your LinkedIn feed’s excitement, obsession, or fear of AI, it’s unclear what its net benefit to the creative industries will be. As a filmmaker, the greatest satisfaction has not been in the cinema watching the finished film. The real thrill is in the creation, in the teamwork, in the spirit of the story we are collaborating on. The journey is the point. The community is the point. We'll continue to build our product and team, but our focus now shifts slightly: towards that community. Powerful stories make us feel, and discussing a maddening view, or eyebrow raising insight, is part of what what it is to be human. We want to facilitate that exchange of opinions. With AI making its mark, we'll soon hanker after much more than that which a computer can provide: true connection, real people, epic shared times. Last month we held an event in Austin at SXSW (massive thanks to creative collaborators AJ and Weston) and we’re now planning for Cannes in May. Through facilitating audience discussion, screenings and filmmaker's stories, recdek can become more than just a digital platform. We aim to be an eco system of recommendations, across all platforms, separate to the marketing budgets of studios, for all your entertainment needs. Dive in anytime. Add to the discussion with friends digitally, or in person. So, if you’d like to invest in the future of entertainment curation, get in touch, or free to mention us to someone that might like recdek. 50% of your cash is returned if you're a UK investor. Thanks for reading. Keep on keeping on. Ed recdek.com #investment #SEIS #recommendation #entertainment #seed #tv #film

We present our final Movio Audience Award to the movie that attracted the most frequent moviegoers (6-25 sessions in the last six months). And the winner is….. ⚡The Flash ⚡ The DC title saw over 1/3 of its opening weekend audience represented by frequent moviegoers, surpassing the Movio Research Console’s 2023 benchmark by 4%. These are people who love to go to the movies, displaying a propensity to watch various titles without particular selectivity. This was evident in the average recency for this movie's audience of 74 days since their last cinema visit– 34% less than the 2023 average. With other blockbusters closely following suit, each drawing in significant numbers of frequent moviegoers comprising at least 30% of their audiences, this underscores the value of blockbusters in driving regular cinema attendance. That’s all for this year’s Movio Audience Awards, congrats to all the winners 👏 We can't wait to see what the next year brings in the world of cinema. #TheFlash #Movio #MovioAudienceAwards #MovieAwards #Movies #Insights
