Remember the marketing Barbiheimer? Barbie and Oppenheimer opened the same weekend.
"Exorcist: Believer" was supposed to hit theaters on Friday the 13th. But then Taylor Swift decided to release her "Eras Tour" concert film on that day.
So the "Exorcist" people caved and switched their movie to October 6th. Producer Jason Blum says, quote, "Obviously, we moved off that [date] and we bowed our head to Taylor Swift."
But before they conceded, they considered another strategy, and it's actually kind of brilliant. They were going to lean into the shared release date, and try to make "ExorSwift" happen . . .
You know, like the whole "Barbenheimer" thing, where both "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" made bank, even though they were in direct competition.
Ultimately, Blum said it was "too risky."
But at the same time, they're only opening a week apart . . . so "ExorSwift" CAN still happen.

Mayim Bialik really wants to bring "Blossom" back. She says she has, quote, "all of the cast and the original creator and producers on board," and she thinks they could get things rolling once the actors' strike ends.
But here's the twist: It won't be a comedy. Quote, "We're hoping to reboot it not as a sitcom, though.
"We want to bring back these interesting, deep characters . . . a child of divorce, a recovering drug addict, an alcoholic . . . to see them in a whole new way."

Today’s Useless Fact of the Day - Today's Useless Fact of the Day - There was originally a sequel written for "Beetlejuice" called "Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian", but it fell through. Now, 30-plus years later, a "Beetlejuice 2" is finally happening . . . minus the Hawaii aspect. It comes out next September.
