“We have a tablet, we get movies, normally six months later,” Weinstein explained. “And my son said to me, ‘Hey dad, I don’t believe that Captain America [Brave New World] is gonna be a good movie.’ And I say, ‘No. no, it looks good, I’ve heard it’s good go see it.’”
Much to his son’s chagrin, the movie didn’t live up to his expectations.
“He went and saw it and he said, ‘Dad, it was terrible,’” Weinstein recalled. “And then I finally saw and I had to call him on the phone and said, ‘You know what, you’re right, it was terrible.’”
And although he did manage to see the new Marvel film, he was less successful in getting his hands on some of the biggest Oscar movies of this year, like Best Picture winner Aor and nominee The Brutalist—which stars ex Chapman’s boyfriend, Adrien Brody, who even gave a shoutout to Weinstein’s kids India and Dashiell when he won the Academy Award for Best Actor in March.
