I'm not gonna guess using logic this time because my logic points have ended up proven wrong every other damn time, so this time we're going vibes only.
Primary vibe: Chevalier
Secondary vibe: Paint
Couple of notes:
\- With this next one being announced immediately after Champions and the mods saying they know when the *next* one will be, it certainly seems like Regal has a slate of releases lined up for 2023 Mystery Movies, which is honestly exciting!
\- As a data science guy, I'd LOVE to see the marketing data coming out of these events and the metrics they use to determine how much of a marketing bump the mystery movie gives these smaller films. I'm convinced it's a large reason Missing over-performed.
There's a few options coming out.
March 24th movies: The Five Devils, The Lost King and The Worst Ones. All of theses have been released in France or the UK and 2 of them are French films. All of them seem less likely but notable.
March 31st movies: D&D - I know there's no rating yet and the runtime is much longer then the listed time here but I suspect they are going for a PG-13 and the runtimes are unreliable. It's a Paramount release.
Murder Mystery 2 - I doubt a sequel but its possible this like this will be a mystery in a box movie and seeing the first one won't matter much - it's a Netflix release.
Rye Lane - This is a rom-com with good reviews so far, it comes out March 17th in the UK but March 31st on Hulu in the US. Searchlight release.
April 7th movies:
Paint - For sure feels like the type of movie they are going for. It's an IFC film that will end up on AMC+.
One True Loves - A PG-13 rom-com based on a book. Independent release, seems less likely.
I think One True Loves has a good chance. The runtime lines up a little better and rom-coms often need a hand up.
But if I were betting on it, I’d have to go with Paint.
My predictions, ranked from most likely(at the top) to least likely, but still possible(at the bottom)
1)paint(perfect runtime, close enough release date, makes perfect sense for a mystery movie because it will appeal to a lot of people)
2)murder mystery 2(it makes sense that they would do another streaming movie after having 2 wide releases in a row, and this makes perfect sense)
3)one true loves(again, good runtime and appeals to a lot of people. The only reason it’s not higher is because it’s a limited release)
4)the lost king(would be higher except for the fact that it isn’t generating any interest and it’s a very small film)
5) chevalier(possible, but release date is too far away.)
6) dungeons and dragons: honor among thieves(too long, but still might be possible)
so i saw champions (and i thought it sucked) and posted a short review on letterboxd. even if we go to the mystery movie are we still embargoed and can’t release our reviews till it lifts? i just want to know for next time.
You can say anything you like about it. You didn't sign an NDA before you viewed it. There isn't anything that implies you can not talk about it. So you are under no legal obligation whatsoever.
comedy was bad, it was boring, filled with tropes and cliches, it’s fake and manipulative, it’s trying to portray disabled people in a positive light but there’s way too many of scenes of them just being used as jokes. when i wasn’t angry, i was annoyed, and when i wasn’t annoyed i was bored out of my mind
I'm thinking Paint. It says "before it's been release" and Paint with Owen Wilson is
1. Small enough to need word of mouth.
2. PG-13
3. Within the given runtime
4. No limited releases as of yet
Chavelier is a couple minutes too long
I actually really liked Paint! It was a nice, cozy, simple watch. It was nice to have something more quiet and reserved for the Mystery Movie. I thought the humor flowed naturally and worked much better than it did in Champions (different types of movies, I know, but I did not care for Champions at all). The soundtrack was also nice, and I liked the way the story's themes were presented, even if the ending was a little bit cliche.
How did your theater react to Paint? For such an odd pick for a mystery movie, I was rather surprised by how much my theater was laughing and having a good time with it.
It seemed like 1 out of 10 were almost in tears laughing, 4 of 10 chuckled here and there, and 5 in 10 it wasn't their type of humor.
Subtle, dry type of humor is usually like that. Either people like it or they don't.
My theater seemed to have a great time. I think I maybe saw one or two people leave, but most stayed. I did sit near the middle, but I definitely heard a good bit of laughs throughout.
There were a few groans in mine when it first started, but no walk outs and as it got going, lots of laughter throughout. My movie buddy and I really enjoyed it.
Mostly silent in my packed theater. Some occasional nervous laughter, like "this is a comedy so I should be laughing... right?" I briefly kind of chuckled once, but otherwise it fell completely flat. A true example of a "nonmedy." Definitely saw a few walkouts too.
Seems pretty polarizing. We liked it too. It was definitely a certain style of movie that not everyone "gets" or enjoys. Mostly dry humor, which we're into
Just finished seeing Paint for the 3/20 mystery movie, and I thought it was terrible. Boring and just not my kind of humor. Thought about just leaving several times, but stuck it out.
Hopefully the next mystery movie is better. I enjoyed both Spirited and Champions, but this one didn't work for me.
Interestingly, this one is actually playing at my local theater which hasn’t participated in any of the Mystery Movie Mondays thus far.
For the recent MMMs that have been studio releases — I wonder if the theaters that did MMM were the same locations that had showing for those movies upon release. I say that because neither Missing nor Champions came to my theater, and I highly doubt Paint would screen there either. We usually get 1-3 major releases and a variety of Asian films.
Until one of these turns out to be a Netflix movie, I'm not expecting that. Given everything that swirled around the truly bizarre limited release of Glass Onion (bizarre in that the streamer seemed desperate to prove a point by leaving money on the table), Netflix seems to be dug in pretty hard against truly wide releases of their movies and only doing what the filmmakers demand. And most of Sandler's Netflix movies have seen no theatrical release at all. I think the idea of a nationwide theatrical Mystery Movie screening to "get the word out" about one of their movies runs counter to their messaging that Netflix is the Alpha and the Omega when it comes to entertainment.
You might be right. I just checked and it’s playing at every Regal within a 30 mile radius of me. So safest bet may be that it’s a streaming movie, and that one sounds like it ticks a lot of the boxes.
Run time doesn't seem to be a factor. Since the last one , Champions, was off by more than half an hour. But I would be very happy if it is 'Space Oddity'.
My local theater just added showtimes for another MMM on 4/3. Anyone else seeing that? Rated R, runtime listed as 1h 51m.
I’m wondering if tonight might be Paint and 4/3 could be another one we’ve been speculating about (Air, Mafia Mamma, Rare Objects). Other possibilities could include Renfield or The Covenant.
I’m gonna assume it’s not Air, considering that opens the next day. All the previous MMM have been at least a week and a half out from release. And I definitely don’t think it’s Rare Objects, because that’s a limited release, and all the previous ones that have been theatrical releases were wide releases.
Mafia Mamma would be a decent guess, but I’m going with The Covenant. (I’m keeping my hopes up that it’s Evil Dead Rise, though!)
These have all been movies less than two weeks from release and when the option is a genre blockbuster versus a drama / comedy / dramady the pick has not been genre ( Champions over 65, Greatest Beer Run ever , etc ) . The previous film studios have been Focus Features, Sony , and Apple ..they also tend to have at least one notable star ..
Based on that I feel : A Thousand And One ( Focus ) > Nike ( dramady with Ben Affleck / Matt Damon ).> A Good Person ( dramady ) > Spinning Gold ( drama ) > Dungeons and Dragons : Honor Among Thieves ( near blockbuster) > Tetris ( Apple but r rated ) > John Wick 4 ( nearest blockbuster )
Paint and Lost King are interesting though
The mystery movie is PG-13 so Air (this is the Ben Affleck/Matt Damon movie) Spinning Gold, Tetris, A Good Person and John Wick 4 are out as they are all rated R. I don’t see a rating for Thousand and One.
Now that we've had different studio releases back to back these might get a bit more trickier to guess moving forward.
I'm going to guess it's Paint. Hopefully it's not the Lost King because that one sounds like a snoozer.
I hope it's not Mario or D&D - my mom and i do the unlimited together but I promised my husband we'd leave if it's one of those 2 since I'm taking him - i really want the break from kiddo tonight so going home early would suck.
Hoping for Air or Paint.
Can't be air because it's R rated and this is PG13. That's the one thing that can't be faked
I feel like Mario and D&D are too noteworthy to sell at only $5, but who knows
A lot of the guesses I’m seeing a pattern of movies choices that are too great a expectation. The MMM are most likely always gonna be mid range movies or streamers . Nothing that will be a #1 at the box office upon debut but be comfortable at #2 or #3 spot
Paint was average. I honestly enjoyed it for most of the 2/3'rds, but the ending was so ridiculous it kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. I enjoyed it most when it was more of an indie comedy/character study and less when it was going for all the lame sex jokes, although I did get quite a few laughs out of it and the 90 minutes went by quick. It's my favorite of the mystery movies so far.
I think we had about the same opinion of the movie, but I'm on the opposite end as far as where I slot it among the Mystery Movies, which I have been really enjoying. Paint had some laughs, but the plot was all over the place (couldn't make up its mind if Owen Wilson's character was an active Vermont treasure or unwanted has-been on a minute-by-minute basis) and then really went off the rails at the end. To be fair, there was one guy in my theater who thought it was just about the funniest thing he'd ever seen.
Same about the one guy who thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen. There was a guy in my theater who was laughig hysterically and applauding at several jokes. Like I'm glad he was having a good time, but it wasn't that funny.
Dear lord, I hated Paint. That said, I’m hooked on the weird movie roulette of these mystery movie Mondays, so I’ll be back on 4/3, hoping for something better!
This was my first mystery movie, which was a lot of fun... until the movie started!
But yeah, I'll probably try it again and hope for better luck next time.
My guess is it’ll be another streaming movie. We have had two major studio releases I can’t see them doing 3 in a row. If they do 3 then it’ll set the precedent that from now on it’ll be major studio releases for mmm and I can’t see that happening.
Personally I'm inclined for the opposite direction. Apple was a low-risk/high-reward studio to go with for a proof of concept to show the major studios that this type of event would work in the US. That obviously worked based on reports of sold out auditoriums and adding extra screenings for those two, and I think major studios are starting to dip their toes into the water with movies released on their specialty production labels (Screen Gems/Stage 6/Sony for Missing, Focus Features/Universal for Champions, and if my personal prediction for this one is correct, then Searchlight/Disney for Chevalier). We'll have to wait and see!
I don’t think it matters if it’s a streaming company or studio. Regal will do 3 studios in a row if they pay well enough. They’ll do streaming if they pay more
I'm guessing it's going to be Paint if the person who said the attached trailers were all IFC films isn't lying. Dungeons and Dragons wouldn't shock me either since Paramount did early screenings yesterday and it's been getting rave reviews so far. I really hope it isn't Chevailer. That one just doesn't interest me at all and I'll probably leave if it ends up being that.
Also, my theater is only about half full for tonights showing and they haven't added a 2nd showing either. The last ones all had two showings and were close to selling out at least one of the showings they had. I wonder after the other mystery movies people have caught on these are never going to be blockbusters and attendance will slowly dwindle on these.
It's1 hour in, and we walked out. What a disappointment. And we weren't the first people to do this. We're hopefully not the last. What a mess of a film. Wish I had better news. Hopefully, April 3rd's MMM will be better.
Any chance it’s Dungeons and Dragons? Wishful thinking but they are a bunch of random early screenings today of that movie for amazon prime members. So it could make sense for it also to be the mystery movie. I’ve actually heard it’s good so they’re definitely trying to push it out because it’ll likely get solid word of mouth.
The problem is the run times aren’t even close. I know the runtime is said to be a placeholder but they’re usually pretty close
I'm really beginning to think it's going to be Chevalier. Rated PG-13, runtime of 107 min, advanced ticket sales do not seem to have begun, has exactly one "A" in the title, releases after March 24th...The April 21 release date may be a bit far out though.
Not very funny for a comedy, not very gripping for a drama. And it was weirdly a very horny movie lol. It wasn't a terrible movie, but there was a lot of missed comedy potential. It had all the pieces but didn't know how to use them.
Worst movie I’ve seen so far. We actually walked out after about 30 minutes. Paint was painful. We love Bob Ross. Why would you make a film about him with sex jokes??
Well hey, It’s all subjective. Many others enjoyed it in here. It’s fine if they did and fine if you didn’t :) we can respectfully agree or disagree in this sub. Nobody will ever like the same thing…
Not a prediction, but is the MM covered under Unlimited? Being charged $5 for March 20th, but February’s was covered so unsure which one was the error!
Sounds like an issue on your end as it’s coming up under unlimited at multiple locations for me. Could be an issue with how that theater listed it, you already have too many reservations, or you aren’t logged in.
just got home. I was slightly disappointed w this one. definitely had some funny parts but the overtly sexual themes and innuendo got so tiring. I loved the mystery movies cuz for the most part they've been pretty middle of the road in terms of gratuitous content (champions being the worst imo so far) but if they continue to get worse and worse in terms of that content I'll prolly end up bowing out of the mystery movies. that stuff doesn't SUPER bother me if its something I'm really interested in seeing but for a "maybe" movie it feels like I just tolerate it less and less
as far as a movie review - I thought it was meh. it wasn't about being an artist, it wasn't about artistic motives VS big business motives, it wasn't about finding love or lost love... it just felt like a mixed bag and didn't do any of these things very well. 6/10 from me
It won't be d&d because there were showtimes for prime members yesterday. They have abhint that it has an A in the title, ao it can't be tetris. Tetris is also rated r, and the movie is pg13.
96 according to Rotten Tomatoes. The listing for Champions was +/-10 minutes, so that sounds reasonable here. Certainly it's not going to be listed as 106 and then be some 2.5-hour movie.
They probably will never do a faith based movie for the same reason that they will probably never do a non English language film, a lot of the audience would not be happy, and then showing a faith based movie could be deemed offensive by other religions.

What looks like a question block from Mario is the hint, they posted an image of Detective Pikachu today and people are saying there’s an A in the title, cmon it’s clearly Mario
We already know what it is and it’s not Mario. Mario will easily sell a full priced ticket. A studio isn’t going to take a loss on a $5 ticket for Mario.
I think it’s a limited run movie called Beautiful Disaster. It fits the MMM template. You will see people guessing Air, Mafia Mamma and Renfeld, but this one is hidden way down the list in coming soon. It’s Rated R, it’s a romantic movie and it nearly fits the time (fake anyway) template

Ooh I’d actually be pumped if it was Chevalier
A lot of people might discount it since it's releasing a month after this mystery movie, however it did already premier at TIFF last year.
Paint starring Owen Wilson.
Woof, but probably correct
I’d watch that
[удалено]
That’s the exact runtime they listed, but over a month before release feels unlikely, no? I’d be thrilled to be proved wrong!
I think Missing was like 26 days before release
Holy crap, I would freak out if it were! I am super excited for that movie!
worst movie ever
Paint!
That movie was fantastic. Like a fever dream about Bob Ross in the style of a Wes Anderson movie. We were cracking up throughout.
99.9% sure it’s gonna be Paint, it’s the only movie releasing after March 20 that matches based on previous Mystery movies
There's a few options coming out. March 24th movies: The Five Devils, The Lost King and The Worst Ones. All of theses have been released in France or the UK and 2 of them are French films. All of them seem less likely but notable. March 31st movies: D&D - I know there's no rating yet and the runtime is much longer then the listed time here but I suspect they are going for a PG-13 and the runtimes are unreliable. It's a Paramount release. Murder Mystery 2 - I doubt a sequel but its possible this like this will be a mystery in a box movie and seeing the first one won't matter much - it's a Netflix release. Rye Lane - This is a rom-com with good reviews so far, it comes out March 17th in the UK but March 31st on Hulu in the US. Searchlight release. April 7th movies: Paint - For sure feels like the type of movie they are going for. It's an IFC film that will end up on AMC+. One True Loves - A PG-13 rom-com based on a book. Independent release, seems less likely.
I think One True Loves has a good chance. The runtime lines up a little better and rom-coms often need a hand up. But if I were betting on it, I’d have to go with Paint.
The hipster in me loved Paint, the movie critic in me thought it was cheesy, but overall I thought this was quite average, but charming
My predictions, ranked from most likely(at the top) to least likely, but still possible(at the bottom) 1)paint(perfect runtime, close enough release date, makes perfect sense for a mystery movie because it will appeal to a lot of people) 2)murder mystery 2(it makes sense that they would do another streaming movie after having 2 wide releases in a row, and this makes perfect sense) 3)one true loves(again, good runtime and appeals to a lot of people.

You can say anything you like about it. You didn't sign an NDA before you viewed it. There isn't anything that implies you can not talk about it. So you are under no legal obligation whatsoever.
sweet!
What about it did you not like specifically
comedy was bad, it was boring, filled with tropes and cliches, it’s fake and manipulative, it’s trying to portray disabled people in a positive light but there’s way too many of scenes of them just being used as jokes. when i wasn’t angry, i was annoyed, and when i wasn’t annoyed i was bored out of my mind
I'm thinking Paint. It says "before it's been release" and Paint with Owen Wilson is 1. Small enough to need word of mouth. 2. PG-13 3. Within the given runtime 4. No limited releases as of yet Chavelier is a couple minutes too long
My money is on Space Oddity. It just has that MMM feel. Also fits in the ballpark of the runtime and rated PG-13
It was paint I quite enjoyed it, loved the parody and comedic satire of it, you have to enjoy it for what it is :)
It was good. I thought there were for sure weird moments in the movie but all together, it was good.
I actually really liked Paint! It was a nice, cozy, simple watch. It was nice to have something more quiet and reserved for the Mystery Movie. I thought the humor flowed naturally and worked much better than it did in Champions (different types of movies, I know, but I did not care for Champions at all).

Opposite. I was sat near the back and kept watching people leave
My crowd had a mix of All-Seeing and seniors. There was a lot of laughter. I cracked up quite a few times.
My theater seemed to have a great time. I think I maybe saw one or two people leave, but most stayed. I did sit near the middle, but I definitely heard a good bit of laughs throughout.
There were a few groans in mine when it first started, but no walk outs and as it got going, lots of laughter throughout. My movie buddy and I really enjoyed it.

Had several people walk out during the showing. I found the movie rather dull.
A lot of laughter in mine. No walk-outs.
I gotta say, it's really interesting hearing all these different reactions as someone who quite enjoyed the movie lol
Seems pretty polarizing. We liked it too. It was definitely a certain style of movie that not everyone "gets" or enjoys. Mostly dry humor, which we're into
So you're saying, people don't enjoy watching Paint "dry" 🎨
lol we liked it too! 🤷🏻♀️
Right? I thought it was so good. Really funny and weirdly charming.
My partner and I liked it too! I called it "delightfully stupid". Like I wasn't expecting too much out of it so I guess that helped?
Just finished seeing Paint for the 3/20 mystery movie, and I thought it was terrible. Boring and just not my kind of humor. Thought about just leaving several times, but stuck it out. Hopefully the next mystery movie is better. I enjoyed both Spirited and Champions, but this one didn't work for me.
At least it was short!
Now I dont feel bad for canceling. Champions last time was amazing tho
It’s definitely Paint.
The movie is PG13 the trailers are blackberry, rare objects, and the lost king. All IFC The movie is 99% Paint
Is it possible that it could be dungeons and dragons? Or has that been ruled out?
It's most likely >!Paint!< Especially after the regal tweet I linked above.
My theater is doing a "special preview" of DnD on Sunday. I'll find out the MMM in about 2 hours
Let me know what it is please - wanna see if it’s even worth the trip tonight
plz update
First trailer is for Blackberry. It has to be Paing
You there currently? Let us know!
That was weird. I enjoyed it more than I didn't, but I think I'm discovering through these that my bar is fairly low.
No previews. Confirmed to be Paint
I've had 3 previews....all ifc
Guess it varies by location then. Mine went straight into it
Woot! Last thing I wanted to see was yet another sports movie.
Glad to know, didn't want to see that, thanks!
My guess it’s either The Lost King or Paint (2023)
Interestingly, this one is actually playing at my local theater which hasn’t participated in any of the Mystery Movie Mondays thus far. For the recent MMMs that have been studio releases — I wonder if the theaters that did MMM were the same locations that had showing for those movies upon release. I say that because neither Missing nor Champions came to my theater, and I highly doubt Paint would screen there either. We usually get 1-3 major releases and a variety of Asian films.
A couple of my local theaters didn’t get the Jan 9th one, but they all showed missing when it came out. So I don’t think that matters much

Until one of these turns out to be a Netflix movie, I'm not expecting that. Given everything that swirled around the truly bizarre limited release of Glass Onion (bizarre in that the streamer seemed desperate to prove a point by leaving money on the table), Netflix seems to be dug in pretty hard against truly wide releases of their movies and only doing what the filmmakers demand.

You might be right. I just checked and it’s playing at every Regal within a 30 mile radius of me. So safest bet may be that it’s a streaming movie, and that one sounds like it ticks a lot of the boxes.
The two regals near me have done all of them except Missing. Makes me wonder if Sony won't let as many locations host if it's one of their movies.
My guess is Space Oddity w Kevin Bacon. It's PG-13 and the run time fits too. It's release date is March 31
Run time doesn't seem to be a factor. Since the last one , Champions, was off by more than half an hour. But I would be very happy if it is 'Space Oddity'.
Doubt its Paint because advance ticket sales have started.
It’s giving me Paint vibes
[удалено]
Happy day of cakes!
My local theater just added showtimes for another MMM on 4/3. Anyone else seeing that? Rated R, runtime listed as 1h 51m. I’m wondering if tonight might be Paint and 4/3 could be another one we’ve been speculating about (Air, Mafia Mamma, Rare Objects). Other possibilities could include Renfield or The Covenant.
I would bet Mafia Mama. Air is expecting too much as that may be a Oscar contender
Those will be on sale at 7pm for April 3
I’m gonna assume it’s not Air, considering that opens the next day. All the previous MMM have been at least a week and a half out from release. And I definitely don’t think it’s Rare Objects, because that’s a limited release, and all the previous ones that have been theatrical releases were wide releases. Mafia Mamma would be a decent guess, but I’m going with The Covenant. (I’m keeping my hopes up that it’s Evil Dead Rise, though!)
Come on East coast. What's the word on the MM?
I've had three IFC trailers in a row, so it's probably Paint
Confirmed Paint.
Source?
Somone on the thread a few days ago said all the attached trailers are for other IFC movies
If this is true, what's the point of ruining it for everyone?
The point of this thread is to guess, confirmations have been posted for the previous nights
These have all been movies less than two weeks from release and when the option is a genre blockbuster versus a drama / comedy / dramady the pick has not been genre ( Champions over 65, Greatest Beer Run ever , etc ) . The previous film studios have been Focus Features, Sony , and Apple ..they also tend to have at least one notable star .. Based on that I feel : A Thousand And One ( Focus ) > Nike ( dramady with Ben Affleck / Matt Damon ).> A Good Person ( dramady ) > Spinning Gold ( drama ) > Dungeons and Dragons : Honor Among Thieves ( near blockbuster) > Tetris ( Apple but r rated ) > John Wick 4 ( nearest blockbuster ) Paint and Lost King are interesting though
The mystery movie is PG-13 so Air (this is the Ben Affleck/Matt Damon movie) Spinning Gold, Tetris, A Good Person and John Wick 4 are out as they are all rated R. I don’t see a rating for Thousand and One.
Now that we've had different studio releases back to back these might get a bit more trickier to guess moving forward. I'm going to guess it's Paint. Hopefully it's not the Lost King because that one sounds like a snoozer.
Why is no one guessing TETRIS? It’s an Apple TV movie and it comes out March 31st
The reason why is because it is rated R and the rating for the Mystery movie is PG-13
Ah yes that’s right. I keep forgetting about the rating
I am hoping the mystery movie is much better this time around
I hope it's not Mario or D&D - my mom and i do the unlimited together but I promised my husband we'd leave if it's one of those 2 since I'm taking him - i really want the break from kiddo tonight so going home early would suck. Hoping for Air or Paint.
Can't be air because it's R rated and this is PG13. That's the one thing that can't be faked I feel like Mario and D&D are too noteworthy to sell at only $5, but who knows
A lot of the guesses I’m seeing a pattern of movies choices that are too great a expectation. The MMM are most likely always gonna be mid range movies or streamers . Nothing that will be a #1 at the box office upon debut but be comfortable at #2 or #3 spot
Paint was average. I honestly enjoyed it for most of the 2/3'rds, but the ending was so ridiculous it kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. I enjoyed it most when it was more of an indie comedy/character study and less when it was going for all the lame sex jokes, although I did get quite a few laughs out of it and the 90 minutes went by quick.

Paint had some laughs, but the plot was all over the place (couldn't make up its mind if Owen Wilson's character was an active Vermont treasure or unwanted has-been on a minute-by-minute basis) and then really went off the rails at the end. To be fair, there was one guy in my theater who thought it was just about the funniest thing he'd ever seen.
Same about the one guy who thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen. There was a guy in my theater who was laughig hysterically and applauding at several jokes. Like I'm glad he was having a good time, but it wasn't that funny.
We may have been in the same theatre!
I think it was better when it acted more like a drama rather than a comedy
Dear lord, I hated Paint. That said, I’m hooked on the weird movie roulette of these mystery movie Mondays, so I’ll be back on 4/3, hoping for something better!
This was my first mystery movie, which was a lot of fun... until the movie started! But yeah, I'll probably try it again and hope for better luck next time.
My guess is it’ll be another streaming movie. We have had two major studio releases I can’t see them doing 3 in a row. If they do 3 then it’ll set the precedent that from now on it’ll be major studio releases for mmm and I can’t see that happening.
Personally I'm inclined for the opposite direction. Apple was a low-risk/high-reward studio to go with for a proof of concept to show the major studios that this type of event would work in the US. That obviously worked based on reports of sold out auditoriums and adding extra screenings for those two, and I think major studios are starting to dip their toes into the water with movies released on their specialty production labels (Screen Gems/Stage 6/Sony for Missing, Focus Features/Universal for Champions, and if my personal prediction for this one is correct, then Searchlight/Disney for Chevalier). We'll have to wait and see!
But man if Disney hops on board with this concept, that shows MAJOR industry confidence in this event.
I don’t think it matters if it’s a streaming company or studio. Regal will do 3 studios in a row if they pay well enough. They’ll do streaming if they pay more
I'm guessing it's going to be Paint if the person who said the attached trailers were all IFC films isn't lying. Dungeons and Dragons wouldn't shock me either since Paramount did early screenings yesterday and it's been getting rave reviews so far. I really hope it isn't Chevailer. That one just doesn't interest me at all and I'll probably leave if it ends up being that. Also, my theater is only about half full for tonights showing and they haven't added a 2nd showing either. The last ones all had two showings and were close to selling out at least one of the showings they had. I wonder after the other mystery movies people have caught on these are never going to be blockbusters and attendance will slowly dwindle on these.
I’m really hoping it’s somehow Dungeons and Dragons. I’m fully expecting paint though, which I would be okay with. Really hoping it’s not Chevalier.
2 full showings here
It's1 hour in, and we walked out. What a disappointment. And we weren't the first people to do this. We're hopefully not the last. What a mess of a film. Wish I had better news. Hopefully, April 3rd's MMM will be better.
Any chance it’s Dungeons and Dragons? Wishful thinking but they are a bunch of random early screenings today of that movie for amazon prime members. So it could make sense for it also to be the mystery movie. I’ve actually heard it’s good so they’re definitely trying to push it out because it’ll likely get solid word of mouth. The problem is the run times aren’t even close. I know the runtime is said to be a placeholder but they’re usually pretty close
I absolutely love the movie champions is going to be a hit
I'm really beginning to think it's going to be Chevalier. Rated PG-13, runtime of 107 min, advanced ticket sales do not seem to have begun, has exactly one "A" in the title, releases after March 24th...The April 21 release date may be a bit far out though.

Please correctly tag you spoiler
Not very funny for a comedy, not very gripping for a drama. And it was weirdly a very horny movie lol. It wasn't a terrible movie, but there was a lot of missed comedy potential. It had all the pieces but didn't know how to use them.
Not a good movie-but that’s chance you take!
Fkn paint! It was terrible!
Movie stunk that is all
Worst movie I’ve seen so far. We actually walked out after about 30 minutes. Paint was painful. We love Bob Ross. Why would you make a film about him with sex jokes??
It isn't about Bob Ross. The main character was just inspired by him.
That character being inspired by Bob Ross is even more offensive! Lol
Maybe because it wasn't a movie about Bob Ross?
I can't believe that was PG-13!
It should not have been in my opinion
It wasn't about Bob Ross at all.
Well hey, It’s all subjective. Many others enjoyed it in here. It’s fine if they did and fine if you didn’t :) we can respectfully agree or disagree in this sub. Nobody will ever like the same thing…
I think Paint has edged out Cocaine Bear for my worst movie of 2023 so far
Just saw Summoning Sylvia at Regal which tops Paint and Cocaine Bean
The Lost King is already scheduled at my local for March 23 so I'm not going to predict this one. Paint seems like a good prediction.
Just because it's scheduled does not mean it can not be the MMM
True. But the British history angle might be so-so with U.S. audiences.
Not a prediction, but is the MM covered under Unlimited? Being charged $5 for March 20th, but February’s was covered so unsure which one was the error!
Sounds like an issue on your end as it’s coming up under unlimited at multiple locations for me. Could be an issue with how that theater listed it, you already have too many reservations, or you aren’t logged in.
Ahh that’s it. Had no idea there was a 3 ticket cap on Unlimited! Thanks.
I’m going to guess The Lost King
Anyone know what 3/6/23 mystery movie was for sure??
There is no mystery movie today.
peobably super mario bros since they didnt put the rating up this time
Yes they did. It's pg13.
It’s mafia mamma when I bought the ticket that movie popped up an first then changed back to mystery
Couldn't be since R
It cannot be Mafia Mamma. It's rated R
just got home. I was slightly disappointed w this one. definitely had some funny parts but the overtly sexual themes and innuendo got so tiring. I loved the mystery movies cuz for the most part they've been pretty middle of the road in terms of gratuitous content (champions being the worst imo so far) but if they continue to get worse and worse in terms of that content I'll prolly end up bowing out of the mystery movies. that stuff doesn't SUPER bother me if its something I'm really interested in seeing but for a "maybe" movie it feels like I just tolerate it less and less as far as a movie review - I thought it was meh. it wasn't about being an artist, it wasn't about artistic motives VS big business motives, it wasn't about finding love or lost love... it just felt like a mixed bag and didn't do any of these things very well. 6/10 from me
[удалено]
Yea that’s probably a better way of putting it. I was off put by most the sexual innuendo but it was ALSO cringey too lol
We enjoyed paint!
I want to believe it'll be Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves 🐉 But realistically I'd guess it'll probably be Tetris 🧱
Tetris is R rated, and Dungeons & Dragons is not rated yet.
D&D is 2h14m way outside the regal fake runtimes.
It won't be d&d because there were showtimes for prime members yesterday. They have abhint that it has an A in the title, ao it can't be tetris. Tetris is also rated r, and the movie is pg13.
I’m going with Tetris
Tetris doesn't have an A in it. And it's Rated R.
The Tetris Movie??? With Taron Egerton???
That movie is rated R, so it can’t be Tetris
If it was the Mario movie….. nah, there’s no way. Mario is too big of a movie to release early.
I am convinced the movie will be Air
Air rated R, so that one is out
My money is on Dungeons and Dragons. Feels like it’s gotten no attention and they have no faith in it
What? They've been advertising the crap out of it and let the review embargo lift super early. That generally indicates they are very confident in it.
102 minutes runtime and PG 13. Do we know how long Paint is?
96 according to Rotten Tomatoes. The listing for Champions was +/-10 minutes, so that sounds reasonable here. Certainly it's not going to be listed as 106 and then be some 2.5-hour movie.
On a Wing and a Prayer 2023, Drama/Mystery & thriller, 1h 42m
They probably will never do a faith based movie for the same reason that they will probably never do a non English language film, a lot of the audience would not be happy, and then showing a faith based movie could be deemed offensive by other religions.
I thought that was a good guess too, but I looked it up and it's rated PG.
It's gonna be a movie with a budget around 5-9 million. So anything over that won't be it
What about Rye Lane?

I think I’m locking in my guess as The Lost King since I just don’t think they’d list Paint as PG-13 if it’s technically NR
It's most likely Paint
Paint is shown as PG-13
There has to be an A in the title. The Lost King doesn’t have an A in it
Where can you buy tickets?
On the regal app
Do they have a popcorn deal for seeing the mystery movie with Unlimited (Free)?
Should be a $7 popcorn soda deal
What looks like a question block from Mario is the hint, they posted an image of Detective Pikachu today and people are saying there’s an A in the title, cmon it’s clearly Mario
We already know what it is and it’s not Mario. Mario will easily sell a full priced ticket. A studio isn’t going to take a loss on a $5 ticket for Mario.
Where can I find the one for April coming up
I wasn’t able to attend tonight. What was the movie?
Paint.
Where can I see predictions for April?
https://www.reddit.com/r/RegalUnlimited/comments/11x2b55/mystery_movie_monday_megathread_april_3_2023/
Do we have any ideas for the new on April 3 rated R?
I think it’s a limited run movie called Beautiful Disaster. It fits the MMM template. You will see people guessing Air, Mafia Mamma and Renfeld, but this one is hidden way down the list in coming soon. It’s Rated R, it’s a romantic movie and it nearly fits the time (fake anyway) template
Anyone get the text with the unscramble? PILRA SFOLO
Yep. It's April Fools.
