Clint Eastwood’s ‘Juror #2’ is now confirmed to end its theatrical run this Thursday after just one week in theaters. It’s supposed to hit VOD by the end of the month. Despite the vocal backlash, Warner Bros couldn’t care less, and they’ve decided one week was enough for this film in theaters.
The first I ever saw anything about this movie was a soundtrack album release on Apple Music a day or two ago. No wonder everything is flopping nowadays.
Literally the first I’m hearing of this movie.
I don’t think Hollywood has figured out how to reach people like me yet. I’ve noticed a drastic drop in movie marketing in the last few years. I don’t know how they’re advertising these days, but it’s not working.

It’s because you use uBlock Origin and Pi-hole, and you’re on the Fediverse, which is very hostile to advertising.
There’s still movie news though. I know about a lot of movies before they release, and I haven’t watched an ad in God knows how long.
I’m subscribed to movie communities (like this one) and this is the first I’m hearing of this movie as well.
But not sure if I’d like the prospect of a studio “reaching” me here, when that probably means that they’re spamming up feeds with ads disguised as content. It’s easier to do that than the alternative of making good/interesting films people want to talk about.
I think they just didn’t advertise it.
Eastwood movies fell off awhile ago, unfortunately. He’s pretty far from the days of Gran Tureno and the boxing movie.No one is “reaching” us here, don’t worry. There’s no need to be paranoid.
I wouldn’t say paranoid, more that it’s how that works on larger communities like Reddit. When there’s an audience, the companies find creative ways to reach them, which is how astroturfing became a thing.
The tradeoff of being on a smaller site where that stuff doesn’t happen just means it’s harder for information to spread when there’s no one who wants to post it. It’s hard to find that goldilocks zone of a decently large community of people passionate about a hobby before it gets big enough to look profitable to someone
