Ep.214 – Cannes Film Festival, Mando & Grogu, Cliff Botth in IMAX, and IMAX for sale?

A big week here at Pixelsplitters, a lot is going on that needs to be discussed. The Cannes film festival was this past week, and it was a rather quiet affair compared to previous years. What does that mean for this year's film slate? Also, The Mandolorian and Grogu premiered this past holiday weekend to very little fanfare. Where did this franchise go wrong? Also also, Netflix is putting The Adventures of Cliff Booth in IMAX because reasons. Does this film need this release? Is this film going to do business with an IMAX release? And finally, rumor is IMAX is looking to sell. The premium-format company has been performing well financially for a couple of years now and may be looking for a buyer. Popular speculation lists Apple, Netflix, or Sony as potential suitors. Is this nessesary? Pixelsplitters is a conversation podcast that explores the film and tv news of the week, and examines where the film industry as a whole is headed. Sometimes we do Top 5 lists!
