Warner Bros took CinemaCon to another level this morning with Oprah Winfrey and ‘Color Purple’, ‘Barbie’, ‘Dune 2’, ‘The Flash’, ‘Aquaman 2’, ‘Wonka’ and more! Keep up with Deadline's complete coverage here:
“As Barbie says, everybody looks better in pink!” the distrib exec added.“Hello, everybody, we’re both tickled pink,” Goldstein continued to pun.which made its pivot from Max streaming service to an exclusive theatrical window. They also took time to reflect on the legacy of former distrib colleague, MGM’s Erik Lomis. This led into a 100 Years studio sizzle reel with flashes ofset to the cover of Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love With You” from the Baz Luhrmann movie.
“I’m convinced, there is no other place to see a motion picture, to have impacts on all parts of the world…we believe in full windowing of the business, we don’t believe in streaming. We’re in no rush to bring movies to Max,” asserted Zas who outlined that movies perform substantially better on the service after debuting in theaters –even more so than direct-to-streaming business.
Winfrey said that the new musical version brings “magical realism, wholesome family goodness” to the screen. She extoled Bazawule, “we knew you were the director to bring this version to the screen. How did you know you were the one?” Fantasia Barrino who plays Celie and also played her on Broadway said that at the time her life was so much like the character, but her life had changed since and she wasn’t certain she could go back into the role, “I had to pull up some things I’d walked away from. I felt safe and able to go back into that place… It means a lot to me because I’ve come so far, I am Celie”
