CinemaCon may have preempted The Rushfield Lunch’s usual time of Wednesday at 11 a.m. PT, but as soon as he and The Wakeup’s Sean McNulty had finally left the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, they hopped on Substack Live to process what stuck out from about 80 trailers in four days. Along with the movies they’re excited to see (and happy to skip), they discuss this week’s big theme — theatrical’s demand for a 45-day exclusive window — and sort through a heroic swag bag of candy that’s headed for the Rushfield pantry.
Keep an eye on The Ankler’s social media accounts for details on the next episode of The Rushfield Lunch on April 9. Subscribers receive an email alert when we go live every Wednesday at 11 a.m. PT, and paid subs can join our conversation. Earlier chats have included Substack cofounder Hamish McKenzie, longtime film producer and executive Ted Hope and author and Atlantic writer Olga Khazan exploring the science of changing your personality. You can watch at The Ankler’s website or on the Substack app. See you soon.
