Hope you got to try free Peacock — while it lasted.
The NBCUniversal streaming series has dumped the option for newcomers to sign up for its free tier. As of Monday, Peacock instead will now only offer its $4.99/month “Premium” tier (with ads and without the ability to download select content) and its $9.99/month “Plus” tier, which comes commercial-free and also includes local NBC.
Existing sign-ups at Freecock can carry on as-is, an NBCU spokesperson told IndieWire, and those paying subscribers who might otherwise churn out of the ecosystem will be given the option to stay via the free tier. There are currently no plans “as of right now” to completely delete the free option, the person said.
This decision is what our NBCUniversal spokesperson says is “part of Peacock’s grow...

Prosecutors in New Mexico upon formally charging Alec Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter in the fatal “Rust” case Tuesday claim that the actor was “distracted” and speaking with his family on his cell phone during mandatory firearms training.
Via a probable cause statement publicly released by the New Mexico district attorney’s office, prosecutors charged Baldwin as both an actor and a producer on the film, saying that he was “reckless” in deviating from standard practices involving firearm safety on set and by not receiving appropriate firearm training.
The DA cites statements, deposition from OSHA, and also a deposition from armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed that Baldwin’s training was “very limited” with the cross draw required for the “Rust” scene as well as how to load o...

Eva Green is reflecting on her leaked text messages amid the “A Patriot” lawsuit.
Green was set to star in and executive produce the shelved action film “A Patriot” before suing White Lantern Films and SMC Speciality Finance film financiers for her $1 million salary. The “A Patriot” producers countersued Green for breach of contract, claiming she never intended to star in the film.
During court proceedings, the “Casino Royale” alum stated that she refused to appear in a potentially career-threatening “B-movie” like “A Patriot” once funding was slashed after she signed on...
“To Leslie” star Andrea Riseborough still has a slot in the Best Actress race.

Kramer also said that the Academy would be updating its campaign rules in the coming weeks.

Just-released “M3GAN” and previous #1 “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” (both $19.99) took the top two spots on the revenue-based Vudu chart as well as on the transaction-based iTunes and Google Play.
As for the top Oscar nominees, some got the chance to make up for weaker grosses in theaters But for “Everything Everywhere All at Once” (A24/$19.99) the rich get richer.
Daniels’ metaverse success, which led with 11 nominations, reached home viewing almost seven months ago. It returned to 1,400 theaters this weekend and added $1 million to its $70 million domestic box office. Other than Animated Feature nominee “Puss,” it was the only nominee to make all three charts.
Even more impressive, “Everything” increased its VOD price to $19.99...

After two years of a predominantly virtual festival experience, the Sundance Film Festival returned to (mostly normal) with its 2023 edition. And while simply saying, “Hey, we’re back!” only goes so far (and has been so often repeated that it doesn’t really hold much excitement these days), a sampling of the top stories you — our very own IndieWire readers — were most interested in from this year’s festival reveals that things happening on the ground were most appealing.
While Sundance’s virtual platform — available to both members of the press and regular ol’ cinephiles — was packed with new films to watch, things that unfolded only in Park City, from the news of Doug Liman’s secret Brett Kavanaugh documentary to the controversy surrounding captioning availability to in-pe...
