RIPPA Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 Sony - seeing that WW84 left Nov 2019 open - jumped into that release date and pushed the Charlie's Angels Reboot to then. So basically it got moved back 5 weeks (9/27 to 11/1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sorta hoping that Destroyer was the new Remo Williams adaptation / reboot I've been waiting for since the 80's. Or a movie about Dick Beyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Bohemian Rhapsody is at 57% on RT. Apparently it ends at Live Aid. Perhaps they're thinking of doing the last six years as a sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I haven't been expecting anything more than boilerplate musical bio pic, but those usually get better reviews than that. But any high hopes died with hearing that the band insisted on it being about all of them, not just Freddie. I'll end up seeing it, I'm sure, but probably not in a theater.

Execproducer Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 To be fair, the other members were pretty important to the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but no one, in this solar system, is going to want to see John Deacon's life story when Freddie fucking Mercury is right there. And 57 is on the high end of what I was expecting. I'm guessing it settles somewhere in the 40's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, no offense but Brian May and Freddie Mercury are the only two stories in that band that you could turn into feature length films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Execproducer Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I'm not saying I want to see all those movies, just that they should be more than adequately represented in a movie about the band, Queen. And John Deacon wrote a fair bit of their material, including their biggest hit. Obviously, Freddie is the main draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have sworn that the biggest Queen hit in America would've been We Will Rock You / We Are The Champions since to this very day, it is still a fucking stadium anthem here in the US.

odessasteps Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Funny how many wrestling theme songs were by Queen. Probably up there with AC/DC for most. (And the current version of the Guerreros in CMLL still use We Will Rock You). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only recall Ravishing & Ragin using We Will Rock You and Ricky Rice / Derrick Dukes getting back together in the AWA and using One Vision from the Iron Eagle soundtrack after Rice and John Paul's Top Guns tag team broke up. Did Exotic Adrian Street use a Queen song as entrance music? Because I could totally see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Valentine and Beefacke used We Are the Champions. I also thought someone else besides JYD Another One Bites the Dust, but can’t remember who at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Rhapsody was number one three times in the UK - when it first came out, when Freddie died, and after Wayne's world. The new movie might give it a shot at a four-peat. Maybe. The charts aren't what they were (they are still basically based on sales, downloads and streams though. None of that radio play business the Yanks factor in). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote The song was a worldwide hit, charting number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks, from 4 October to 18 October (their second number-one single in the country). The song spent fifteen weeks in the Billboard top ten (the longest running top ten song of 1980), including thirteen weeks in the top five, and 31 weeks total on the chart (more than any other song in 1980). It reached number two on the Hot Soul Singleschart and the Disco Top 100 chart, and number seven on the UK Singles Chart.The song is credited as Queen's best-selling single, with sales of over 7 million copies.This version was ranked at number 34 on Billboard's All-Time Top Songs.
