[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lively's cut was the winner, for a reason, and studio execs gushed to her about the success of the film. Do you think any of this helps Baldoni, who has zero projects now in the works per imdb? Studio execs wanted to muzzle him from doing press promo, not because of Lively but because of his tendency to say inappropriate and off-putting things. They had to cut the tape of one of his interviews.

From People:
Justin Baldoni was labeled a "moron" by a studio executive over remarks he allegedly made in an interview promoting It Ends With Us.

An alleged email sent by Danni Maggin, a senior marketing executive at Sony Pictures Entertainment, on Aug. 5, 2024, shows the marketing team took issue with Baldoni's remarks in one interview.

"... Justin is basically alluding to 'raping' Atlas out of Lily when talking to the Dallas Morning News. We cut the tape but he is a moron," Maggin wrote in the email, recently unsealed as part of Blake Lively's ongoing legal battle with Baldoni.

Maggin then appeared to refer to Josh Greenstein, then-president of Sony Pictures‘ Motion Group, alleging Greenstein said that director-star Baldoni, 42, "shouldn't do any more press but he has a lot left so maybe we can talk asap."

Perfect example of weird bot behavior.

Her cut was the low scoring one, bozo![/quote]

Her cut was the one execs selected, largely because Colleen felt it captured her vision, and the one that earned hundreds of millions of dollars, bozo! From a business perspective, Baldoni was a pathetic failure. In addition to being cut out of the social network and promotion because no one wanted to hear any more of his inappropriate remarks. He's the one who'll never work again. [/quote]

Meh, Sony likely caused themselves to lose tens of millions of dollars because they ignored normal business practices  and went with the cut markedly less popular with audiences.   Then they lost more potential profit when Blake did stupid things like make the “bring your florals” comment.  That’s what you get when you give in to a celebrity pressure campaign.[/quote]

But somehow not an issue when Baldoni, who played the abuser, was appearing at fun and sexy pop up flower shops...[/quote]

But he was also talking a lot about domestic violence and his nonprofit that Wayfarer ran, which is since been shut down, called no more.

Blake made some really bad decisions. Even Sony execs couldn’t believe that she announced her hairline in conjunction with the film. And has been discussed multiple times her and Ryan’s alcohol lines were promoted during pop-up events and she named an alcoholic drink after the abuser.

She also came across really poorly in interviews. People did not like when she flippantly and sarcastically responded to a very earnest question by an interviewer asking what would she say to women who wanted to share their stories with her. Her answer it was really awful and she knew it -as months later she was still lamenting about it in a text to Taylor Swift.

So yes, Baldoni might have gone on with the plan but his marketing and interviews did much less damage than Blake. He seemed to be able to talk about the nuance of the film when Blake really wanted it to be another Barbie up and oppenheimer because Ryan was also coming out with Deadpool.[/quote]
