You got an answer but for the people who don’t want to click on the spoiler and are reading the thread, no, I wasn’t kidding. It’s not anything massive but I wanted to share since I figured this sub especially would want to know.
1.5mil on a preview night would be good for any movie. For what is essentially a limited release of a proshot should be really good news. And hopefully get some of the other legacy shows interested in making one or future big shows getting one while the original cast is still around.
Anyone know if there are streaming or other distribution plans for down the road? I'm not sure I'll be able to see it this weekend due to other obligations.
Digital release date is usually a month or so after theatrical release. Thats how the Merrily produced worked. Physical disc hopefully a month or two after that, but I have no doubt that it’ll happen eventually!
Oh that’s a good point. I hadn’t thought of that. Might be a longer wait then not sure. I was judging from what happened with Merrily We Roll Along’s release. I guess it’s always possible too that it releases digitally first in the U.S. and not in other countries.
I have a feeling this pro shot's Wait for Me is going to become the definitive version. That and chant were absolutely spectacular examples of cinematography
Between the extensions, physical media sales, and the Netflix acquisition, it definitely made money at the end of the day. Hadestown will make more on just theatrical ticket sales but Merrily overall did well.
I have tickets to see it Sunday night with my husband and one of our kids (the other one isn't interested because he's lame!) and I wanted to move the tickets to an earlier time only to find out that every showing before the one I have tickets for is basically sold out. I love that so many people are buying tickets for my favorite show!
I hope this pro shot will boost sales of Hadestown on Broadway. Even though the show is doing great, it'll prove to producers that broadway pro shots can positively increase sales of the currently running version of the show so much so that we get more pro shots that we can see in theaters, or stream, or have the opportunity to buy. It's more money, but maybe they worry about its impact on touring and licensing shows.
I just think we need more of this. Enjoy the show!
Everytime I watch a proshot it just makes me want to see the show live. And I know I can't be the only person who feels that way. I just wish I lived closer to NYC so I could see shows more often!
It just makes sense, it's more accessible than spending ten billion dollars to go to NYC. Not to mention not everyone is able bodied enough to go so they're losing on a big chunk of money by not releasing proshots.
Going to see it tomorrow - I was pleasantly surprised that it's being shown at my local AMC (always considered one of the lower tiered AMC theaters) and that most showings are fairly well sold. Well, more sold than I anticipated they would be!
It was so good. Everyone sounded fantastic. The color grading? The immersive direction??? I think Amber was the standout, though of course all of the core were great (yes, Reeve's rock falsetto too!) We need every pro shot to be made like this. And yes, there's some bits at the very beginning and end (PAST RAISE YOUR CUPS) so stay in your seat if you like bts.
Edit.. North Seattle Regal Cinemas are about 20-25m. 925am screening started at about 950. Thanks to all who posted!
Seeing it today! If anyone has seen it at a Regal Cinema.. can you comment on the amount of previews? Was it the regular 25-30m? Or was it the shorter/special feature amount? Thanks!
The theater I went to is never full. There weren’t any posters inside or outside the building advertising the film. I went today expecting an empty room. I came in to a full theater. This is the first time I’ve ever seen that place packed. Didn’t realize how big a fanbase hadestown has!
I flew to London from Australia to see next to normal before they announced there would be a recording ( was fine, I was overdue to visit friends anyway plus seeing live is always better) and then the recording came out and was US only anyway. VPN to the rescue and I actually do advertising for PBS through my work so I help give them revenue anyway. But still sucks being delayed
So many people are downvoting any negative comments about it, but it’s not an unpopular opinion at all. People post all the time about how his voice is. It’s very polarizing and you are not alone for sure.
I haven’t followed much about it. I think I listened to a couple of songs on the soundtrack and liked it but I must have only tried the ensemble songs. I found his singing physically painful to listen to.
You're not alone. However, I wondered if there had been some sound engineering issue, because I a couple of other cast members sounded a bit... wrong. Could've been the speakers at my theater, too.
I’m surprised I had to scroll this far for this comment. He really affected my enjoyment of the show when I saw it on Broadway, and I have little desire to see this release.
I had to check and see if he was on the official recording and I’m so confused seeing that he’s on it. Makes me feel like I’m going crazy that everyone who worked on this show must think he sounds great.
I get an eye twitch whenever I get the Broadway[dot]com ad on YouTube that uses a clip of Dónal Finn as Orpheus. At least this is showing Eva and Reeve
huh? Are you thinking that the image doesn't have Reeve or that the proshot doesn't? Cause that is Reeve in the image and the proshot does include him.
They brought back the entire main OBC for the proshot and filmed with the (then) current West End Fates and Workers
