Do you guys think the publics perception or lack of interest for Brandy is slowing up the release? I mean it happens all the time, I would imagine Brandy being a tough sell as a lead in a theatrical release. 


There's been tons of movies that sit on the shelf until some actors careers heat back up.

I think this movie is going to have Talk to Me success & hype, the movie they bought last year, but it's going to get interesting since:

1.) Brandy doesn't want to be seen
2.) Brandy doesn't understand that social media and the internet as a whole is important so the very limited promo she is for sure going to ask the studio to do rarely makes it to her socials & her shop website.

Hopefully the studio makes a requirement of Brandy to connect with a new publicist and also seek and hire a social media manager.

If she's going to elevate her career as an actress, which it seems like she is doing, she is going to have to hire a new people on her team.

It is going to be interesting to watch how this all unfolds.

Imagine your directorial debut and your lead actor has no media presence and their is a high chance she is going to phone in the promo by not being committed to sell the movie and & is going to do very very little promo since she doesn't want to be seen.

Still no date?They are releasing I Saw the TV Glow in May, which is also a horror.I doubt they would release them around the same time.

maybe it will be attached to that movie as a trailer?  im hoping for a fall release but from how they post their movies it may not be this year at all.

I have been following their movie releases and how they announce them since late last year. They havent even added The front room to their website yet as a coming soon. 

all the movies i listed were at least listed as coming soon on their site last year and now most have official release dates or at least the year of release listed.
according to what i found online A24 slate of movies this year so far are

Problemista 3/1
Love Lies Bleeding 3/8
Civil War 4/12
I Saw the Tv Glow 5/3
Y2K 2024 2024 TBD
Tuesday 2024 TBD
Janet Planet 2024 TBD
A Different Man 2024 TBD
Sing Sing 2024 TBD


doesnt mean they cant slide in there for this year.

If I was them I wouldn't put it out this year. I would ask Brandy to spend the rest of the year celebrating her anniversary,  upping her profile and being more active. The last thing I want is for them to put this out and it flops that wouldn't do her any favors.

[Sovereign.]

I understand that we all love Brandy and want to see her reap the success of her hard work and talent, but folk really gotta relax and understand that she's been in this business for 30 years which has been celebratory one day and unforgiving the next and where consumerism (fanaticism , the entertainment industry, etc.) can be volatile this fan base included.

I think what's important to understand is that things are ever evolving and shifting and Brandy is in a different space in her career where she might not want to overinvest in the way she did in the earlier parts of her career and it's important that fans evolve with her and extend grace.

She's been through it. Many successes and failures and it's important that we celebrate the gift that she is alone without all the other expectations that can lead to disappointment.

Brandy is going to be fine. She always comes on top. That surge is inspiration and the right opportunities will present themselves accordingly and we can only hope that the right team along with the fans supports her in her future endeavors.

[Sovereign.]

And I want to celebrate the fact that Hollywood Reporter is anticipating this film as much as the fans which is a hopeful sign that the release and the success of the movie is well on the way.

Y'all really lose a lot of sleep over this stuff.

If they slide it in it would be a late winter release. They're probably holding the movie because of Brandy.This isn't the time to be a yes man and be real. She doesn't want to be seen, thus not going to want to promote, hasn't done any build up with being locked into the horror crowd via doing interviews with ppl. I'm sure they want to keep doing what they have done which is put the movie in 2500+ theaters at the max. She is not ready for that.

That studio been coming with major box office successes when they release in that many theaters, but the leads for those movies have a media presence.

[Sovereign.]

You really don't understand the mechanics of the industry. They have premiere actors headlining their films that are still in post-production and they don't all necessarily have a strong social media presence. Couldn't it be possible that A24 and the directors values the integrity of their films and not a bunch social media followers and want to make a great film with Brandy as headline?    Just say Brandy is not meeting your level of expectations and  move on, girl. That girl is coined and minding her business and you should do the same.   

[Andthecategoryis...]

I'm hoping this is a stunning performance and A24 campaigns her for award seasons.

!!!!

some positive reviews for this movie will give bran lots of confidence..... to do more films

I think the music industry and fan culture can be overwhelming/demanding hence the silence via social media, the lack of promotion for the holiday album, etc.


Brandy seems to be the most fulfilled when she's working on set and gets to do music in between.

All these excuses, that's why you have a team and someone to run your page. She has already stated several times that music is her first love and she loves to sing, why keep trying to create the narrative that she no longer wants to do music.

No, there are a ton of reasons why a movie can be technically delayed and I highly doubt it has anything to do with Brandy

Movies and TV shows are made to generate money. The way things work is that a distributor screens their films for theater buyers, then the theater buyers decide if they want to lease the movie. Distributors and theater buyers want to make money. That's the sole objective of the industry called the entertainment business.

If you think that Brandy at this time can fill domestic and international theaters with years of a low profile then you are not a realist. Sorry, even the biggest box office titans use social media and have a media presence. Brandy does maybe 5 interview a year. Sorry, that is not enough to convince anybody in Asia, Europe, and other markets to cough up coins to support a movie lead by her.

BTW studios shelve movies all the time. They get a tax write off which the WB CEO and other studio heads have discussed numerous times.
 
Also, since you constantly think social media doesn't matter in Brandy's field to justify her actions. Some of us want better for her and not fixated on just being a stan, plus we are realist.

blame ha! Brandy's fault!

STFU

[long-timeXMasPartyFor2Fan]

I honestly love the brothers that are creating this film and the fact that Brandy found them is so special to me. Their older brother makes amazing films too and they often cast the same people over and over. If Brandy knocks this part out of the box they will continue to use her in everything they do. Their brother works with some of the best actor actors in Hollywood so I hope she gets swept into that crowd.

I want more music always but this trailer followed by the movie are my most anticipated Brandy project right now.

I've searched for the trailer too many times to count

[Purple Moon]

Is any of this hollywood insider speculation in this thread based on actual facts?
