Paramount Pictures releasing Babylon on PVOD tomorrow. First non-cruise film by studio to not have same day P+ launch.

This is notable because even after the Top Gun PVOD came out months before the P+ release, Paramount was still doing same day streaming debut on films released after that PVOD. This movie also bombed at the box office. So it's not like experimenting with a big non-cruise hit.

2023 Paramount Theatrical Releases may be going the Universal way. PVOD first, then Streaming. Wouldn't expect Physical before streaming for non-cruise films yet. Universal is still putting streaming debuts ahead of physical, and they've cared more about longer windows than the other studios. But keep this in mind for 2023 Paramount films. You may be waiting longer for streaming debuts.

I gotta give this a shot based on Chazelle's prior work

I've heard that you either love this movie or you hate it. Or you think it's OK.

Kidding aside, I'm interested in watching it. Loved the trailer and I'll give anything Chazelle a chance.

Loved it. Movie was a wild ride and I'm glad I experienced it in the theatre. Shame it apparently flopped so hard.

Saw it a couple days ago, a rare occasion where I walked out of the cinema (about half way mark) thought it was just sheer nonsense, and fwiw I love whiplash and la la land

I understood about half of OPs post. What is a non-cruise film?

Edit: Oooooh, Tom Cruise?

There is a very good 2hr movie in this 3hr mess. If you can get over it being a mess, you'll probably like it a lot. I feel like those that love it can look past a lot of issues, because I couldn't.

The soundtrack is best of the year. No questions.

I enjoyed the first 2/3 of this movie compared to the last 1/3.

I might wait till it hits regular old vod before I watch the elephant shitting movie.

Yes, he was the only one last year to get Paramount to do a three month window, then a PVOD window, then a Physical window, then streaming.

Even films released after Top Gun didn't have that. They went to streaming same day as PVOD.
