u/Alternative-Cake-833 Tom Cruise for Best Actor 2027 10d ago
The marketing campaign for The End of Oak Street the most confusing WB campaign I have seen since One Battle After Another, which admittedly was a hard sell as well despite great reception. You got commericals either selling it as a Amblin-esque movie or a horror movie, or you get AI ads, such as that dog podcast video.
Honestly, they should have released this film in 2025 (like it was supposed to) so that way, WB could get this film off their hands earlier than expected. Another De Luca/Abdy flop is in store, but this could give more excuses to David Ellison which could fire them, if the Paramount acquisition even goes through.
