Olivia Wilde’s The Invite: A Theatrical Gamble and Liberation From Failure

Olivia Wilde explains that The Invite was made like a play: shot in 21 days on film, sequentially, on a single San Francisco set, with the cast rehearsing for six weeks and working for scale to maintain a claustrophobic, labyrinth-like apartment that becomes a fifth character. She rejected streamer routes in favor of a theatrical release, seeing a rising indie-film audience (Gen Z returning to theaters) as a positive sign amid streaming upheaval; she frames the lukewarm 38% Rotten Tomatoes score for Don’t Worry Darling as liberating and a learning moment. Wilde also praises Seth Rogen’s performance, Jade Healy’s production design, and the ending’s deliberate ambiguity, which invites readers to read the couples’ relationships through the home’s mirrors and spaces.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu film may not be worth a theatrical launch

Space.com argues that a theatrical movie featuring The Mandalorian and Grogu may be a misstep: the trailer is underwhelming, fan fatigue around Pedro Pascal is growing, and turning nostalgia into a big-screen event risks undermining the franchise’s momentum. The piece acknowledges canonical potential but suggests Disney/Lucasfilm should save such a project for a future era, especially since all three seasons of The Mandalorian are already on Disney+.
