NEED TO KNOW
National Cinema Day's Future: Challenges and Changes National Cinema Day (NCD), a hugely successful event in 2022 and 2023, offering discounted movie tickets, has not been scheduled for 2024, leaving many to wonder about its future. Despite boosting ticket sales and concession revenues, the event also strained theater staff and facilities, with some locations even requiring police intervention due to unruly crowds. The changing dynamics of the post-COVID box office, along with the potential impact on big film releases, are factors complicating NCD’s return. Distributors must waive clauses that protect their earnings, and there are concerns that emphasizing lower ticket prices might highlight the perception that regular prices are too high. New leadership at the National Association of Theater Owners (NATO) and evolving distributor dynamics also contribute to the delay. While NCD’s future remains uncertain, possibilities for rescheduling include early November or December, though both present challenges. If held in November, it could clash with major releases like Robert Zemeckis’ Here, while December could conflict with Christmas shopping. Another idea is shifting NCD to Super Bowl weekend, a typically low box office period. Regardless of the challenges, discussions about altering the day or tailoring it to specific audiences continue, but for now, the future of NCD is still being worked out.

Demi Moore Questions Ghost Remake
Demi Moore expressed doubts about a potential Ghost remake, which Channing Tatum's production company is reportedly developing. While Moore acknowledges Tatum's talent, she feels some films, like Ghost, are "better left alone," citing the unique "alchemy" that contributed to the original film's success, including performances from Whoopi Goldberg and Patrick Swayze. Although Tatum may play Swayze's role, the remake aims to avoid problematic stereotypes, and Moore isn't certain if she'd reprise her role without knowing the new direction. Despite the revival of other Swayze classics like Road House and Dirty Dancing, Moore remains unsure about revisiting Ghost.
