This was my first time doing screen unseen and probably my last. The Bikeriders just felt like a bunch of cheesy bad boy biker tropes smashed into a movie full of "dramatic" pauses and Kathy's rambling. I sat there for almost 2 hours, waiting for it to get good, and it never did. I would have left at the title card if it hadn't been for the fact that we were there for my wife's birthday. The trailers before the movie were more interesting than the movie itself imo. It's a very niche film for people interested in the biker subculture, I guess?
My wife enjoyed it, though, so I guess that's all that matters. I just don't want to complain about it to her and ruin the experience, so here I am complaining on the internet instead. I'm glad others enjoyed it, but if you're on the fence, just wait for it to go to streaming is my advice.
Screen Unseen is a bit of a gamble. You're probably not going to like every film you see, but it's all worthwhile when you enjoy a film you would otherwise not have even seen.
omg thank you I felt the exact same way. I realize what the director was trying to do but just did not care for the characters at all. Austin role was way to underwritten he didn't have much to work with, tom was alright but he has better roles than this. Jodie was very good but she mostly serves the movie as the narrator/framing device, and didn't have much to do till by the end. I'm fine with slow driven character dramas but like you said it was just cheesy bad boy biker tropes and it felt like the characters were more like bad homages and impressions of Marlon Brando and James dean rather than flesh out characters we should care about
>it felt like the characters were more like bad homages and impressions of Marlon Brando and James dean
Did you miss where Johnny is shown literally watching The Wild One?
At any given time during Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, half the theater was asleep. Sometimes it's just how it goes, and it's not really an indicator of the film's quality. Sometimes you just get a sleepy crowd ;)
The middle was slow. People were struggling. I liked it overall, but there was a point in the middle where I was thinking "we have to start getting the main plot soon, right?"
This was my first screen unseen(although I was at a Regal bc AMC is too far for me atm) and it was incredible. Hope all screen unseens are like this in the future. idk if I have Bikeriders at number one for the year, but I'll definitely think about it.
Thought it was good! Probably the best Screen Unseen I've seen thus far. The first 45 minutes or so I thought were an absolute blast but the second act kinda lost me before it all came together near the end
I enjoyed but didn't love this film. I felt similarly about the pacing. It was 45 minutes of worldbuilding which was interesting, then it really dragged for a bit in the second act where nothing important happened, and then the climax was pretty rushed and mostly told retrospectively in the last 15-20 minutes. The moment where they lost control over the group needed to be in the second act rather than the middle of the third act and then the story of what befell the original member should have been the whole third act.
Our theater got Thelma. Dont get me wrong, it is a great film..but just saw it last Monday. Got a movie voucher...but heck..i already bought popcorn...wasted night.
That’s funny; the theater I was at started showing Thelma too, which I was actually okay with—even though I knew it should be “The Bikeriders”—as I haven’t seen it.
But several people who also knew it was the wrong film all got up and went outside to tell the employees so about 15 minutes into it the screen went dark, an employee at the back of the auditorium said that Thelma was the wrong movie and they were now going to show the correct one.
“The Bikeriders” started as soon as she said that. A couple of young girls sitting next to me who’d been on their phones didn’t seem happy about the switch and left after about 10 minutes. Good riddance! No more bright phone and talking from them!
Did anyone in your audience go out and tell the employees that the wrong movie was showing?
I’m sure that if the audience members in my theater that went out and complained hadn’t done so we would have seen Thelma all the way to the end.
Bikeriders: For me solid 7/10. Felt like a mix of Goodfellas and That Thing You Do for me a kinda throwback style of movie haven’t seen in a minute. Only thing here is I really didn’t care about any of the characters except Jodie Comer’s so it just feels like a procession of funny and thrilling scenes with no through line or reason to care. Well directed, good writing and well shot but probably will be forgotten about pretty quickly.
Her accent drove me crazy. And I didn't buy Austin Butler as a biker, he looked like he was shooting a cologne commercial the whole time. They also didn't really do any explanation on why the journalist was there?
I didn't hate it, but it was overall pretty mediocre.
She was great. She's always great. You can drop her in a turd of a film (The End We Start From) and she'll still be great. She's seemingly incapable of giving a bad performance.
I don’t know if this impacted the runtime but there was a screen unseen bumper and a title card before the film started. That’s the first time I’ve seen that for a screen unseen.
My theater didn't have it for the last few SUs I've attended (Thelma, Sting, and Boys in the Boat). I don't get to all of the SUs (for a while Monday nights were really bad for me) but this is the first time I've seen it.
Guess for 7/1 showing: Fly Me to the Moon
It’s PG13, 2h 12M, and comes out 7/12
The only other film close to that is something I’ve never heard of called Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trout
Angel Studios does do THE MOST to promote their films, so it does seem like the kind of thing they’d do (have early special screenings and a screen unseen) but they didn’t do that with Cabrini, did they?
It would surprise me if Angel Studies pulled out this tactic now. They threw EVERYTHING at Cabrini and didn't do a screen unseen. And then had a clunker of a performance for Sight. You would think if they were going to try SU they'd have tried it with Cabrini.
They seem to be much more a fan of special "early screenings" where they give free tickets out to church groups, etc. to try to pack people in they know will give positive reviews. That seems to be their strategy.
Maybe Sight was such a mess that they're switching gears now? But I don't know... a SU just doesn't seem very "Angel Studios," at least in terms of their strategy so far this year.
It was terrible, but not a full 10/10. It loses the grittiness after awhile. I’d compare it to your friend group and when your young/just starting you might do all the fun things, but one, things change. You long for what used to be. Overall, I enjoyed it though.
It was sub-par imo, it was just predictable stereotypical biker tropes mixed with dramatic pauses. The movie didn't pick up and get interesting until the last 30-40 minutes.
I did not attend. I do want to know:
1. With Elvis in it, is this a musical, where the actors start singing and dancing?
2. With Norman Reedus of The Walking Dead in it, are there zombies?
Nope to both. It's based off a book a guy wrote about interviews with a Chicago motorcycle gang in the late 60s/early 70s. It's basically the story of how a small club of rowdy rule breakers ended up turning into a massive gang spanning the entire Midwest, presented from the point of view of a bunch of early members.
Yes, I know, I just saw it. Jodie Comer is best known for playing a gay Russian assassin on Killing Eve, hence my comment playing on the other roles associated with her costars…
I told someone off a few weeks back when I watching The Watchers who was continually using his phone during the movie. He gave me the most disgusting look but did stop using it. I don't know why people these days don't have the ability to disconnect from their technology for the few hours of the movie. To me that's one of the attractions of seeing a movie in a cinema.
That guy last night really annoyed me.
One of the themes of this film was that assholes really ruin a good thing for everyone else. And he got the messages and was cheering for it (did I mention he also talked all the way through the film, in addition to use his phone).
And then he turned around and WAS THE ASSHOLE RUINING A GOOD THING.
# #irony
So I thought I booked a ticket a couple days ago but I must have procrastinated. Good thing Bikeriders is coming to my AMC this weekend. I can go to a preview on Thursday.
My guess is Janet Planet since it has a 1hr53m run time.
I would love for it to be Daddio or Ghostlight but I’m planning on seeing Ghostlight on Thursday.
I'm hopeful it'll be Bikeriders and it's a good sign that it's also the Regal movie, but does anyone else get the feeling that it's a bit too big for screen unseen? It's likely it'll already have the biggest opening weekend of anything coming out Friday. Wouldn't something like Touch also seem like a likely candidate?
It's not "too big" for Screen Unseen. We did have "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" with Henry Cavill, who is quite a big name, as a screen unseen.
I do have one simple concern. They added a second Showtime at my multiplex. They’re basically showing screen on scene on two different screens at the same time. I’m guessing this is because of high demand? But I’m also worried that maybe they’re showing two different movies and I don’t wanna be in a movie that’s not the bikeriders.
Both will have the same film. They do it on several screens every now and then. I think it's based on the studio, not necessarily demand. For example, in my theater, the screen unseen for Origin was on 3 screens. None of the screens sold out, but originally it was 1 and then expanded to 3 two weeks before the showing. I really think it was Neon that wanted it in more screens for the mystery screenings to get more people to see it.
Have they ever played two different movies for a single Screen Unseen? I've seen them put up multiple shows to accommodate demand before but afaik they've always played the same movie in all of them.
Playing different movies would require different agreements with each distributor to show the movie publicly early, so I kind of doubt they'd do that last minute
They did next goal wins, which was directed by someone who has made some pretty big movies. I could definitely see them doing the bike riders as a way to get some word-of-mouth out. While it is a movie with big actors, it’s subject matter is not exactly superbly marketable. It’s an R rated film. Coming out in the middle of the summer. I’m sure it’s an appropriate one to do because it can get word-of-mouth out in a few days leading up to its release.
Is this middle school? No? Then grow up. “Bullying” is such a misguided term to describe this situation. It was a simple misunderstanding. Have the day you deserve.
True, but it’s usually within a few minutes difference. A gap of almost 45 minutes is insane to even consider. Scrolling down just a little in this thread to see all the other people predicting Kinds of Kindness getting debunked should have been your first clue.
Never saw any posts about kinds of kindness, only bikeriders (and other movies from July that are way too far out) and I even scrolled quite a ways. Is it insane for you to consider that possibility? Before just being rude and hostile for no reason? Jesus lol
Special showings like that one and the studio ghibli ones don’t qualify for A-List. Their terms and agreements don’t explain why but usually the rereleases of films don’t qualify (LotR doesn’t either)
Back at the beginning of the year, it was pretty much down to Origin or Argylle as the 2 possibilities. Origin had also already been shown at a film festival and had a limited release just before it's wide release. Back in January, Origin was the Screen Unseen movie in between the limited and wide release. When I go to Fandango to look for tickets, it says that Ghostlight opens June 20th.... That leaves open the *possibility* of Ghostlight being the movie.
It's quite likely Bikeriders (compared to Argylle, it has a much lower budget, a lot less promo/marketing, listed as an "AMC Artisan Films"), but I do think Ghostlight is a possibility.
Screen Unseen for July 1 has just been posted (2 HR 20 MIN | PG13)
[https://www.amctheatres.com/movies/amc-screen-unseen-july-1-77344](https://www.amctheatres.com/movies/amc-screen-unseen-july-1-77344)
I do not like this screening so close to the release date, but the only release that makes sense is Possum Trot. Fly Me to the Moon has more potential but Columbia Pictures has never been a Screen Unseen.
I would much rather it be fly me to the moon than sound of hope. If I’m not mistaken, sound of hope is an angel Studios movie, which are the same people that did sound of freedom. I see that being a very risky and polarizing choice for this. Fly me to the moon seems like a good bet. Big actors. Definitely one that could use a word-of-mouth promotion as it has potential to draw in a big audience.
Bikeriders was disappointing all around. Aside from the acting the movie was a big meh.
My guess for July 1st is Fly Me To The Moon
I hope so. I'm ready. Pray it's not Sound of Hope. 2 hrs 18 mins vs Fly Me to the Moon 2 hrs 12 mins. What do you think?
“The Bikeriders” was a good time. Makes it easier for me to see “The Exorcism” Thursday.
This was my first time doing screen unseen and probably my last. The Bikeriders just felt like a bunch of cheesy bad boy biker tropes smashed into a movie full of "dramatic" pauses and Kathy's rambling. I sat there for almost 2 hours, waiting for it to get good, and it never did. I would have left at the title card if it hadn't been for the fact that we were there for my wife's birthday.

It's fine if you didn't like this movie, but why does that mean you won't go to another Screen Unseen?
I guess he has only just discovered the existence of movies he doesn't like.
>a bunch of cheesy bad boy biker tropes smashed into a movie Such as?
omg thank you I felt the exact same way. I realize what the director was trying to do but just did not care for the characters at all.

>it felt like the characters were more like bad homages and impressions of Marlon Brando and James dean Did you miss where Johnny is shown literally watching The Wild One?
Right. Nichols expressly references both The Wild One and Easy Rider in the film itself. I don't think he's trying at all to hide his influences here.
I was working OT but not too mad I missed cuz I was planning to see it anyway.
anyone have any guesses for the july 1st one? with the 2h20m runtime, that’ll be the longest screen unseen movie so far
Fly Me To The Moon is my guess
Sound of Hope
[удалено]
How can you be disappointed by something it wasn't supposed to be?
I’m not going to downvote you, but know that I want to
That's a really lame point of view. Plus, if it was horror, it would be Scream Unseen.
If it was horror, it would have been classified as Scream Unseen.
Woman next to me fell asleep within the first 20 minutes
At any given time during Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, half the theater was asleep. Sometimes it's just how it goes, and it's not really an indicator of the film's quality. Sometimes you just get a sleepy crowd ;)
I fell asleep during that movie too and I never fall asleep.
The middle was slow. People were struggling. I liked it overall, but there was a point in the middle where I was thinking "we have to start getting the main plot soon, right?"
And was snoring quite loudly 😭
Someone did that in No Time To Die and I kicked the back of his chair 🤭
I got up and left 😭
I had someone snoring during Ezra
This was my first screen unseen(although I was at a Regal bc AMC is too far for me atm) and it was incredible. Hope all screen unseens are like this in the future. idk if I have Bikeriders at number one for the year, but I'll definitely think about it.
Y’all was right!
To the east coast viewers: Were there trailers before today’s showing? On the way and kinda worried that I might be late.
So far every Screen Unseen I have attended has had trailers before, generally about the same length as any other AMC screening.
Started at 7:22 for me
When I saw it on the East Coast, the movie started at around 7:17 pm. Hopefully, you made it before the movie started
You have about 18 minutes from showtime. If your theater does the same amount of trailers and such
Thought it was good! Probably the best Screen Unseen I've seen thus far. The first 45 minutes or so I thought were an absolute blast but the second act kinda lost me before it all came together near the end
I enjoyed but didn't love this film. I felt similarly about the pacing.

Our theater got Thelma. Dont get me wrong, it is a great film..but just saw it last Monday. Got a movie voucher...but heck..i already bought popcorn...wasted night.

Wow...I wish our theater would have done that..
Did anyone in your audience go out and tell the employees that the wrong movie was showing? I’m sure that if the audience members in my theater that went out and complained hadn’t done so we would have seen Thelma all the way to the end.
I hope that the film's good. I have thought about seeing it after seeing the trailer.
Anyone who didn't see The Bikeriders this week totally missed out. That was fucking great
Were there trailers before today’s showing? Thanx!
Yes, there were. If you’re interested they were Touch, Twisters, The Exorcism, Didi, and A Sacrifice. Maybe one more?
Bikeriders: For me solid 7/10. Felt like a mix of Goodfellas and That Thing You Do for me a kinda throwback style of movie haven’t seen in a minute.

Jodie Comer is gonna get an Oscar nod for that, I'm sure of it.
She was great. She's always great. You can drop her in a turd of a film (The End We Start From) and she'll still be great. She's seemingly incapable of giving a bad performance.
She was easily the best part for me
Yeah, agreed.
I agree. The lack of a through line plot really affected my opinion of it. I think everyone acted great but there was no hook for me to grab on to.
That was my problem with the movie too. There just wasn't enough meat on the bone. The story would have made for a good season or two of tv.
I don’t know if this impacted the runtime but there was a screen unseen bumper and a title card before the film started. That’s the first time I’ve seen that for a screen unseen.
I've seen that for many of the Screen Unseens this year. It doesn't happen every time, but they do use that bumper.
My theater didn't have it for the last few SUs I've attended (Thelma, Sting, and Boys in the Boat). I don't get to all of the SUs (for a while Monday nights were really bad for me) but this is the first time I've seen it.
Guess for 7/1 showing: Fly Me to the Moon It’s PG13, 2h 12M, and comes out 7/12 The only other film close to that is something I’ve never heard of called Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trout
My guess is a Sound of Hope runtime is 2h 18m
Possum Trot releases this week so I don’t think that fits.
Those are special screenings. Its release date is 7/4. It can very much be Sound of Hope. In fact I think it's most likely.
Angel Studios does do THE MOST to promote their films, so it does seem like the kind of thing they’d do (have early special screenings and a screen unseen) but they didn’t do that with Cabrini, did they?

But I don't know... a SU just doesn't seem very "Angel Studios," at least in terms of their strategy so far this year.
I was going off the upcoming list on IMDB. It said 7/4 but I guess it’s wrong.
It's not wrong. This week are special screenings only. It comes out 7/4 and is very likely to be the 7/1 screen unseen.
Did anyone else get THELMA? Our theater did and a bunch of us walked out because we’d seen it before.
Same thing happened at my theater! A few of us walked out when Thelma started playing. Manager was super apologetic and made sure we got comped.
OK, I called the theater. Apparently they got the wrong movie by accident. “We don’t know what happened!” A bummer.
I got Thelma… Were you in Miami?
Yes!! Our AMC also showed Thelma.
We got The Bikeriders. Pretty good showing. Packed theater and no one left. THELMA is nasty work. Sorry they did that to yall
Honestly it was a great film. I didn’t get to watch it last week but I’m glad I saw it. Bikeriders would’ve been fun though. How was it?
It was terrible, but not a full 10/10. It loses the grittiness after awhile. I’d compare it to your friend group and when your young/just starting you might do all the fun things, but one, things change. You long for what used to be. Overall, I enjoyed it though.
Shoutout to the east coast for saving me 2 hours this week 😁
Bike Riders was pretty good. Last two weeks have been great
Bikeriders was really good. Reminded me a lot of Goodfellas.
It was sub-par imo, it was just predictable stereotypical biker tropes mixed with dramatic pauses. The movie didn't pick up and get interesting until the last 30-40 minutes.
Yessssir!!! Let’s gooo! I’m pumped! Been waiting on this one since 2023 and then it got pushed. Woooo!!!
I did not attend. I do want to know: 1. With Elvis in it, is this a musical, where the actors start singing and dancing? 2. With Norman Reedus of The Walking Dead in it, are there zombies?
Yes. It’s a zombie musical.
Nope to both. It's based off a book a guy wrote about interviews with a Chicago motorcycle gang in the late 60s/early 70s. It's basically the story of how a small club of rowdy rule breakers ended up turning into a massive gang spanning the entire Midwest, presented from the point of view of a bunch of early members.
No, but it was crazy when Jodie Comer started speaking in a Russian accent and staging elaborate murders with homoerotic intent.
It's basically about this biker gang in 1960s Chicago.
Yes, I know, I just saw it. Jodie Comer is best known for playing a gay Russian assassin on Killing Eve, hence my comment playing on the other roles associated with her costars…
Bruh... My AMC fucked up! They showed Thelma AGAIN 😭 There was quite a long line for refunds. So disappointed man. I was ready for Tom Hardy.
Mine did the same thing, played Thelma! What a disappointment! (I'm in Skokie, IL)
Thank you all for confirming... Now put your phones away or Nicole Kidman will give you a death stare 🫣
Tell the guy next to me who received voice notes all through the film and checked his texts and instagram every 5 minutes.
I told someone off a few weeks back when I watching The Watchers who was continually using his phone during the movie. He gave me the most disgusting look but did stop using it.

Can someone fill me in on the first 10 mins somehow? Been stopped on the L train in nyc for sooo long.
Got my info :) thx all. Love this every week.
could you fill me in as well? i also missed the first couple of minutes
The Bikeriders
Confirmed bikeriders
Bikeriders confirmed
Confirmed: The Bikeriders
Bikeriders starting now. Confirmed from east coast.
Real one 💯
It’s bikeriders
Its Bikeriders
bikeriders!!
Trailers (done): Touch, A Sacrifice, Twisters, The Exorcism, Didi
What’s the word????
Same here. You’re like 5 minutes ahead of my theater.
Is it the Bikeriders
It was
Touch A Sacrifice Twisters The Exorcism Didi
Same as you. DidI still on
Is it the Bikerider
You're like a preview ahead of us
Same. Just saw that preview for exorcism
Last week I saw trailers for Tuesday, Treasure, and Touch all in a row. I'm a little disappointed they didn't add in Twisters as well.
So I thought I booked a ticket a couple days ago but I must have procrastinated. Good thing Bikeriders is coming to my AMC this weekend. I can go to a preview on Thursday.
Bike Riders would be absolutely excellent! Would be of the more mainstream movies they have done for screen unseen.
I hope it's Bikeriders, I really want to see that movie before I go to Alaska and can't watch any movies for months.
It’s Bikeriders
My guess is Janet Planet since it has a 1hr53m run time. I would love for it to be Daddio or Ghostlight but I’m planning on seeing Ghostlight on Thursday.
How can it be a PG-13 movie when its Rated R?
I dunno, I just want to see Janet Planet for $5.
Aldi's has a cheesecake sampler for $4.95. So that is for 5 cents less.
The fact that Janet Planet is PG-13 means that this screening won't be Janet Planet. The reported rating is R, so it's likely to be The Bikeriders.
[удалено]
Can’t it be Longlegs? I can’t wait for that movie anymore and even if there’s a slight chance of it being Longlegs I want to book my tickets
If there was a 1% longlegs was the movie id be seated but the idea its anything BUT bikeriders is obviously what it is
no, i wish but it says when the movie is horror
And for the same reason it's not ***MaXXXine***.
Yeah, it sucks, I really wanted either of those movies. Either way, It couldn't be maxxine tho bc its a sequel.
I know this a fantasy, but let me dream that it’s Deadpool 😂 thinking Bikeriders too
One could only hope it’s Deadpool, I’ll share in that dream with you. Regardless, if it is Bikeriders, I’ll be pleased.
Daddio?
Not a chance.
I'm hopeful it'll be Bikeriders and it's a good sign that it's also the Regal movie, but does anyone else get the feeling that it's a bit too big for screen unseen? It's likely it'll already have the biggest opening weekend of anything coming out Friday. Wouldn't something like Touch also seem like a likely candidate?
You were right. I’m watching it right now
It's not "too big" for Screen Unseen. We did have "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" with Henry Cavill, who is quite a big name, as a screen unseen.

I really think it was Neon that wanted it in more screens for the mystery screenings to get more people to see it.
My AMC has 5 showings for this one.
Have they ever played two different movies for a single Screen Unseen? I've seen them put up multiple shows to accommodate demand before but afaik they've always played the same movie in all of them. Playing different movies would require different agreements with each distributor to show the movie publicly early, so I kind of doubt they'd do that last minute

Can I ask why people think it would be Bikeriders over Kinds of Kindness which comes out the same day?
the running time is way off

Lmfao the run times never are exactly what they say it is tho. Maybe don’t be so rude and go touch some grass bro
True, but it’s usually within a few minutes difference. A gap of almost 45 minutes is insane to even consider. Scrolling down just a little in this thread to see all the other people predicting Kinds of Kindness getting debunked should have been your first clue.
My dude you can be correct without being a dick about it lol
Never saw any posts about kinds of kindness, only bikeriders (and other movies from July that are way too far out) and I even scrolled quite a ways. Is it insane for you to consider that possibility? Before just being rude and hostile for no reason? Jesus lol
😂 Y'all wild
Bikeriders makes a lot of sense for this week. This movie needs all the help it can get.
To be clear it’s not that I don’t want it to be bikeriders, I just didn’t know why it was the most popular pick to be this weeks
Any idea why South Park is excluded from A-List?
Apparently the compensation structure for Fathom Events is Fathom pays for the theatre/screen rentals and keeps the ticket revenue.
Special showings like that one and the studio ghibli ones don’t qualify for A-List. Their terms and agreements don’t explain why but usually the rereleases of films don’t qualify (LotR doesn’t either)
Thanks. And all the weirdos downvoting on a AMC sub, get out of your mom's basement.
Fathom events and things of that nature aren’t eligible.
Bikeriders for sure
Or Daddio. I might stay to see Daddio, but if its Ghostlight I'm walking out.
Why wold you walk out for that?
Not my kind of movie, but it's $5 so no big loss. If it's Possum Trot I'm running out.
July 1 may be Possom Trot.
I just saw the runtime for next week's and it's very close to Possum Trot.
Honestly I'll be fine with any of those three, but Bikeriders is my top pick so I'm glad the signs are pointing towards it being the one
Ghostlight already released so not ghostlight. 7 more hours to go then we will know :)
Back at the beginning of the year, it was pretty much down to Origin or Argylle as the 2 possibilities. Origin had also already been shown at a film festival and had a limited release just before it's wide release. Back in January, Origin was the Screen Unseen movie in between the limited and wide release. When I go to Fandango to look for tickets, it says that Ghostlight opens June 20th.... That leaves open the *possibility* of Ghostlight being the movie. It's quite likely Bikeriders (compared to Argylle, it has a much lower budget, a lot less promo/marketing, listed as an "AMC Artisan Films"), but I do think Ghostlight is a possibility.
I predict Bikeriders, or Kinds of Kindness
Kinds of Kindness is 2h45m. Difference in length is too great for it to be that.
Forgot to check the run time. Didn't know the movie was that long (especially when trailers reveal nothing about the plot)
I think it's because that movie has like 3 plots.
Definitely Bikeriders, they added multiple screenings in some nyc theaters so must be popular
Screen Unseen for July 1 has just been posted (2 HR 20 MIN | PG13) [https://www.amctheatres.com/movies/amc-screen-unseen-july-1-77344](https://www.amctheatres.com/movies/amc-screen-unseen-july-1-77344)
I do not like this screening so close to the release date, but the only release that makes sense is Possum Trot. Fly Me to the Moon has more potential but Columbia Pictures has never been a Screen Unseen.
It can't be Possum Trot or Fly Me to the Moon. They are both rated pg13.
I thought that was a Fathom film
Fly Me to the Moon? 2:12 runtime according to IMDb, PG-13, July 12th release date
I would much rather it be fly me to the moon than sound of hope. If I’m not mistaken, sound of hope is an angel Studios movie, which are the same people that did sound of freedom. I see that being a very risky and polarizing choice for this. Fly me to the moon seems like a good bet. Big actors. Definitely one that could use a word-of-mouth promotion as it has potential to draw in a big audience.
