Charlize Theron: 2 lines unmapped ×2

  1. unmapped (scene): Long Shot → Charlize Theron. Charlize Theron's terrorist negotiation on the phone in a long shot is a favorite scene.
    “And then Charlize Theron doing a terrorist negotiation on Molly in long shot.”

Avengers: Endgame: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (industry): Long Shot → Avengers: Endgame. Long Shot opened a week after Endgame with two stars over 35, which explains its low turnout.
    “It came a week out a week after Endgame and stars 2 people over the age of 35.”

Broadcast News: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (elevator pitch): Long Shot → Broadcast News. Long Shot is hard to pitch in one line, with a Broadcast News remake as the only handle.
    “What is it, is it a remake of broadcast news?”

First Man: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (industry): Long Shot → First Man. A political controversy did not help First Man, so a Trump spat would not have rescued Long Shot.
    “That didn't work for 1st man though.”
    The Big Picture · The Future of ‘Star Wars,’ Marvel, Pixar, and Disney’s Movie Monopoly. Plus: Our Summer Movie Awards and Paul Downs Colaizzo on ‘Brittany Runs a Marathon’ | The Big Picture · 0:39:23 · Amanda Dobbins (0.40 sure it was them)

Good Boys: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (box-office comparison): Good Boys → Long Shot. Good Boys is said to have probably outgrossed Long Shot and Ricki.
    “This movie probably made more money than like long shot, which made more money, but no question.”

Goon: 1 line people ×1

  1. people (people): Goon → Long Shot. Rogen and Goldberg add heart; Goon and Long Shot hold the same quality of emotional investment.
    “I'm like actually pretty invested in like whether or not Rogan and Charlie's get together.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘This Is the End’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Craig Horlbeck · 0:16:13 · Chris Ryan (0.40 sure it was them)

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (industry): Once Upon a Time in Hollywood → Long Shot. Counterprogramming may be dead, and fewer original films get made if they go only to streamers.
    “The question is whether or not people will still make movies like that if nobody goes to see them in the theaters.”
    The Big Picture · The Future of ‘Star Wars,’ Marvel, Pixar, and Disney’s Movie Monopoly. Plus: Our Summer Movie Awards and Paul Downs Colaizzo on ‘Brittany Runs a Marathon’ | The Big Picture · 0:36:30 · Sean Fennessey (0.60 sure it was them)

Seth Rogen: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (career): Seth Rogen → Long Shot. A speaker says Rogen is now in legitimate normal movies like The Long Shot.
    “he is like in like legitimate normal movies, like that movie the long shot.”

The King of Staten Island: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (market comparison): Long Shot → The King of Staten Island. Long Shot, an adult non-franchise comedy, made little in theaters because people wanted it on demand, suggesting Staten Island may suit VOD.
    “I was thinking about long shot, which is not a Judd Apatau movie, but is in a similar vein, similar, like a comedy for adults, that it's not a franchise.”

The Lovebirds: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (industry): The Lovebirds → Long Shot. Both are mid-budget star-driven comedies, the kind that struggles now.

Yesterday: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (elevator pitch counterexample): Long Shot → Yesterday. Yesterday had a clear pitch and lots of talk, yet did only okay, so the pitch theory is not settled.
    “a movie with a great elevet or premise pitch that did not work at all, which is yesterday.”
