Another Theater Chain Isn’t Keen On AMC’s Shorter Movie Release Windows
As COVID-19 continues to impact day-to-day living in the US, movie theaters are still trying to figure out what the new rules governing movie releases should be. The latest bump in a summer without blockbusters hitting theaters has cinema chains second-guessing themselves and second-guessing tentative deals to finally decide how and when new movies should get in front of theaters: After AMC Theaters and Universal have reached a compromise between theatrical and home digital releases, Cinemark CEO Mark Zoradi said he isn’t seeing the rationale behind a reduced 17-day theatrical window.
“We believe an exclusive theatrical window is critically important,” Zoradi told analysts on a call (via The Hollywood Reporter). “While we have publicly stated we’re willing to have conversations with our studio partners to evolve with them, we are mindful that an overly aggressive shortened theatrical window could have an adverse impact on the mid-to tail-end of a film’s life.
Last week, Cineworld CEO Mooky Greidinger was also similarly skeptical, saying, “People need to be aware that the first big movie from Universal is coming only in six months so there is no pressure here… But we clearly see this as a wrong move at the wrong time.”
Sony’s Next PS5 Announcement Set For August – Report
Sony has been coy with PlayStation 5 details since its big E3 replacement stream in June. That wait might last longer still, with plans for another PS5 event only “tentatively confirmed” for August.
Sony have already announced a State of Play for August, but tempered expectations of the 40-minute event by stating that it would focus primarily on PS4 games. It made it clear that the event would not feature new PS5 exclusives or news on either additional hardware or potential pricing, the latter of which is still being strongly debated amongst fans.
In a Bloomberg report focused on Sony’s recent financial results, the company does state that it has plans for another event in August that will be all about the PS5. No other details about the event were shared, other than wording that suggests plans could still change as the months progress.
Here’s How Touch Controls For Xbox Games Will Work On xCloud
As part of its cloud streaming xCloud service that will launch on September 15 on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for Android devices, Microsoft has detailed how touch controls will work on games coming to smartphones and tablets through the service.
In the latest Microsoft Game Stack stream, The Coalition senior gameplay producer Jarret Bradley revealed how the studio had built a custom layout for Gears 5.
“One of the challenges for us, right from the initial onset, was that there were no other games that we could look at with that touch control,” Bradley explained.

Untitled Goose Game Confuses Amazon Bots, Gets A Title Change
Untitled Goose Game gained plenty of accolades upon release last year, and its unconventional title perfectly fits its quirky charm. No one explained the joke to Amazon’s retail bots, apparently, as the company altered the listing assuming it was a mistake.
In an exchange on Twitter, Wario64 noted that Amazon was listing the game as simply “Goose Game.” In response, developer Cabel Sasser pointed out that Amazon’s algorithm had mistakenly concluded that the “Untitled” part was a placeholder and removed it, leaving it with the much duller title. As of the time of writing, the mistaken listings are still up.
These listings are for the physical editions, which recently went up for pre-order in advance of their September release. Those include the game, a 24-page catalogue of in-game items, an 11×17 village map poster, and a “No Goose” sticker. A special eco-friendly “Lovely Edition” and equally eco-friendly vinyl soundtrack are also available from iam8bit.
