Does anyone seriously know Garth Jennings's email address?

[dykemcqueen]

So, about that one post you made about Sing (2016) and bringing up the bold choice the film made to have a protagonist as delusional and manipulative as Buster Moon: I feel like you should know that Garth Jennings also wrote a book series where literally all of the main characters (with the exception of one) are morally dubious unhinged forces of chaos who each commit at least one federal offense over the course of the series

omg THANK YOU for this information. as a kidlit connoisseur i will definitely be reading these what the hell. appreciate you anon

Here’s a fun fact: the “Sing” movies are actually the two longest films that Illumination has produced to date.

Considering how large the ensemble cast is in both of these movies (with each of the theater animals receiving their own subplots), it’s easy to see why Garth Jennings allowed them to run on a bit longer than most of the studio’s filmography.

Despicable Me: 95 minutes.

Hop: 95 minutes.

The Lorax: 86 minutes.

Despicable Me 2: 98 minutes.

Minions: 91 minutes.

The Secret Life Of Pets: 86 minutes.

Sing: 108 minutes.

Despicable Me 3: 90 minutes.

The Grinch: 85 minutes.

The Secret Life Of Pets 2: 86 minutes.

Sing 2: 110 minutes.

Minions: The Rise Of Gru: 87 minutes.

The Super Mario Bros Movie: 92 minutes.

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy directed by Garth Jennings

Hey there! If you're a fan of the Sing franchise, might I suggest checking out the director Garth Jennings' book trilogy while you wait for the third installment?

It's called The Deadly 7 and it's basically your standard "kid goes on magical adventures with the help of quirky companions" plot, with the twist being that said quirky companions are monsters representing the kid's worst aspects that were extracted from him in a freak accident.

It's a bit of a hard find, but I highly recommend it. It feels like a fever dream in the best way possible and all the monsters are incredibly endearing and have great chemistry with one another, one of whom is a theater kid himbo of a bird I can guarantee would be the next Tumblr Sexyman if more people knew about the series. The third installment even has a gay wedding between the kid's uncle and his best friend that plays a huge role in the plot.

Only the first installment has an audiobook, but it's a delight as well, with Garth Jennings narrating it himself and doing goofy voices that include but are certainly not limited to British Papyrus Undertale, Yellow from DHMIS, and literally just honking noises. It's only available in the UK though, so you might need a VPN to access it.

(Please consider checking it out I'm the only person in this fandom as of now and I'm trying to change that)

Hello dear! Omg I had no idea about this! Thank you for bringing it to my attention I will definitely try to find the audiobook soon!!!

'Experiencing Barbenheimer fatigue? Moviegoers aren't, so suck it up.

That Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" is on track for a mere 41 percent drop after its gangbusters $162 million opening weekend shouldn't come as a huge surprise; it received an "A" Cinemascore from audiences, and has crazy repeat-viewing appeal (if only to spot all the visual gags). But Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer," which also got an "A" Cinemascore, would, given its unsexy subject matter and three-hour length, seem to have a more clearly defined commercial ceiling. A sobering drama about the creation of the nuclear bomb isn't exactly typical summer movie fodder.

Whether it's the Barbenheimer effect or the Nolan seal of guaranteed quality (the guy just doesn't make bad movies), this much is certain: "Oppenheimer" is an unprecedented box-office sensation. The film is on track for a meager estimated 44 percent dip from its $82 million opening, and should close out the weekend with another $46 million added to its domestic total, which will be the highest grossing second weekend for an R-rated movie in box office history (passing the $43.5 million racked up by "Deadpool 2" in 2018).

And with a deeply underwhelming August on the horizon, "Oppenheimer" appears poised to break at least one more semi-significant record.

A historical drama on the cusp of making box-office history

Hey, maybe they'll wind up being great movies, but the lineup of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem," "Meg 2: The Trench," "The Last Voyage of the Demeter," "Blue Beetle," "Strays" and "Gran Turismo" are not likely to throw a dent into the "Oppenheimer" market. Also, keep this in mind: older viewers, who have been slow to return to theaters, are more likely to wait out the crowds and check out the film when jerkwads aren't commemorating their viewing on their smartphones.

There are two records to keep an eye on here. The first, which should fall easily, is the highest grossing film of all time to never rank number one at the box office. That title currently belongs to Garth Jennings' "Sing," which topped out domestically at $270 million. "Oppenheimer" will finish this weekend with $173 million in domestic ticket sales, and should hold onto enough screens throughout the month to pass that milestone.

The second record is a longshot: highest grossing R-rated movie of all time, for which the domestic record is currently held by Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" at $370 million. Ordinarily, there wouldn't be a high-enough weekly multiplier to get "Oppenheimer" there, but with studios moving wide releases from the fall and winter 2023 schedule because they refuse to pay writers and actors a fair wage (i.e. the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes), "Oppenheimer" could continue to be the best adult-skewing show in the multiplexes.

While I'd love to see Gibson's movie dethroned, it will only happen because studio skinflints have decided to inflict pain on exhibitors at the exact moment moviegoing has returned to pre-pandemic, 2019 levels. That would be a shame.'
