Michael Cieply: Participant Sank When Everyone Jumped In

At first, I was shocked by the news that Participant Media was dying. Such an appealing company. Smart. Mindful. Vibrant. Forward-thinking. The producer of intelligent films like Spotlight and Green Book, with a distinctly progressive message.

Michael Cieply: From Campaign Flicks To ‘Civil War,’ The Political Genre Has Followed Us Down

I’m not overly fond of politics. Given a choice, I’d rather talk food, or faraway places.

Michael Cieply: For Hollywood, Q1 Was A Bust; Will CinemaCon Bring Some Q2 Hope?

All due respect to Godzilla, but the first quarter of this year was a bust for Hollywood. There’s no getting around it. The news read like an April Fool’s joke without a punchline.

Michael Cieply: Deal Anxiety–Why The Oscar Bump Isn’t Enough

We’ve raised a cheer for the March 10 Oscar broadcast’s audience bump, up 4 percent, to 19.5 million viewers from 18.8 million a year ago. The total should stretch toward 21 million when digital viewers over seven days are finally added in. (Social media presence will also have grown.)

Michael Cieply: Oscar Sunday Is Okay, But Monday Is Much Better

Truth be told, I’m not crazy about Oscar night. The shoes pinch. Security’s a bother. All the red-carpet nattering unnerves me.

Michael Cieply: With A BAFTA Win, ‘American Fiction’ Gets Points For Facing What Frets Us

I share my colleague Pete Hammond’s fascination with Cord Jefferson’s BAFTA win for his screenplay adaptation, American Fiction. It is no small thing for a self-consciously American story to win a very British award against competition as formidable as Christopher Nolan, especially for a debut film.

Michael Cieply: Dumb Snubs, Diversity Watch, Political Strife–A Practically Perfect Oscar Season

It’s a fact of life, people love the Oscars most when the film Academy or its members are doing something dumb. Slapping a host. Naming the wrong winner. Singing about bare breasts. That sort of thing.

Michael Cieply: On A Thin Film Schedule, There’s Room For Another ‘People’s Hit’

I’m trying to stay optimistic. It takes some effort, as just about everyone seems to think the film business is a mess–strike-thinned schedule, cultural chaos, streaming models in flux. But, hey, the Golden Globes audience was up by half, never mind critical reaction to the show. There are still signs of life out there.

Michael Cieply: Party Like It’s 1988, People Clearly Want Some Laughs From The Movies (And The Globes)

Last week, I had another very occasional lunch with a friend who was a power in indie film when that meant something. We worked through the usual stuff—aches and pains, dead colleagues, favorite restaurants closed. Then came that increasingly difficult movie question: “Seen anything you liked?”

Michael Cieply: Increasingly Top-Heavy, The Movie Box Office Needs A Very Careful Trim

As my colleague Anthony D’Alessandro has noted, the domestic movie box office, starved of product by overlapping strikes, will likely be trimmed by a billion dollars in 2024.

Michael Cieply: Of A Christmas Movie Past, When ‘Polar Express’ Met The New York Times

Here they come again, those holiday perennials. Movies, both good and bad, that year after year find their way back into theaters, onto small screens and deep into stockings that still get stuffed with digital discs.

Michael Cieply: By The Numbers, Actors Count Much Less In The Oscar Voting Pool

As actors continue to struggle in negotiations with the entertainment companies, it’s probably worth noting a point that doesn’t get advertised much.
