Total Score: 
Even with out Reeves, Lionsgate placed on a extremely huge present, bringing out each Seyfried and Sweeney, saying the beginning of principal images on the following Starvation Video games film, and shutting the presentation out with Hurry Up Tomorrow star Jenna Ortega introducing an unique live performance headlined by her co-star, The Weeknd. All collectively now—woah.
Warner Bros.
It’s the Summer season of Superman… so why did the Warner Bros. presentation really feel somewhat chilly? DC Studios co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran launched the Man of Metal’s newest incarnation however have been notably mild on plot specifics and pictures. Brad Pitt’s racing drama F1 stepped in to fill that void by screening the primary 10 minutes of the film. Warner’s additionally shared the respective slates for its style label, New Line Cinemas, and its revived animation studio, which is bringing IP like The Flintstones and the Cat within the Hat to the large display.
Greatest Trailer: It wasn’t a correct trailer, however New Line head Richard Brenner screened a complete sequence from Last Vacation spot: Bloodlines that had the enjoyable—and the gore—from the beforehand dormant horror franchise’s early entries. Coloration us cautiously optimistic for this legacy sequel and the return of the early 2000s.
Worst Trailer: Invoice Hader is clearly a a lot better selection for Dr. Seuss’s hat-wearing feline than Mike Myers. However an early have a look at The Cat within the Hat animated characteristic appeared misplaced in Seuss-land with loads of frenetic motion rather than the great physician’s mischievous humor.
Most Buried Lede: The Looney Tunes have been referenced all through the Warner Bros. Animation portion of the presentation for example of the studio’s storied cartoon legacy. However the studio heads studiously averted mentioning that Bugs Bunny and his friends have been exiled from Max, whereas each Looney Tunes options—The Day the Earth Blew Up and Coyote vs. Acme—have been bought to Ketchup Leisure.
