Variety heard from drive-in exhibitors that Universal was asking for steep terms in the current COVID-19 environment in which most big exhibs including AMC, Cinemark and Regal remain shut down. AMC, after saying that it would block all Universal releases should they continue to commit to a simultaneous PVOD and wide theatrical release, mentioned in its earnings call that the company remains in talks with the studio.

Again, the only odd thing in all of this is, how much could Universal have been asking theaters for on King of Staten Island? Trolls World Tour remains booked at movie theaters and likely will be No. 1 again this weekend in its 10th weekend after collecting $3 million from the handful of theaters that weathered the coronavirus shutdown.

In "The King of Staten Island," Pete Davidson plays a heavily tattooed manchild who's stuck in a suspended state of adolescence. He's mourning the loss of his firefighter father years earlier and lives with his mom in Staten Island, New York.

Yet director Judd Apatow, who co-wrote "The King of Staten Island" with Davidson and Dave Sirus, is never quite sure what to do with Davidson or how to tell his sort-of story, and the result is an oddly flat look at male bonding, deep psychological scarring and life inside the most looked down upon of New York's five boroughs.

Davidson plays Scott, a 24-year-old stoner who dresses in vintage hip-hop streetwear (it's only right the Wu-Tang Clan would receive several shout-outs in a Staten Island movie) and dreams of opening a restaurant-slash-tattoo parlor, which isn't a good idea to begin with but sounds even worse given present-world pandemic realities.

The movie opens with Scott, who subsists on a steady diet of anti-depressants, driving down the highway, blasting Kid Cudi and tightly closing his eyes. When he opens them he nearly plows into stopped traffic, ending his life and those of a few others as well, and he swerves out of harm's way just in the nick of time.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry," he says to himself as he collects himself and drives off unharmed. And it's immediately clear that this Apatow tale will offer a different type of experience than his comedies "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "Knocked Up" or "Trainwreck," which take place in a decidedly real world context but favor outward laughs over probing examinations of internal anxieties.

So what exactly is "The King of Staten Island?" Like its star, it's a bit gangling. There are familiar beats with Scott and his group of friends hanging out, getting high, watching movies and goofing on each other, and true to movies like these, Scott has commitment issues with his kind-of girlfriend Kelsey (Bel Powley), and keeps their relationship a secret.

When Scott is kicked out of his house he goes to live with Ray at the firehouse, and he finally begins to sort through the feelings of loss and abandonment the death of his father left him with years ago. And at one point there's a cathartic singalong to the Wallflowers' "One Headlight."

There are fragments of several different movies lying around the periphery of "The King of Staten Island," but the story never truly comes together. Davidson, who turned in a similar performance in "Big Time Adolescence" earlier this year (and is frankly a bit old for coming-of-age stories), is consistently dwarfed by the dramatic demands of the role, and the script never manages to dial into the emotional torment of his character's internal struggles. And the laughs that would normally bail out a movie as at odds with itself as this one never arrive.

Kelsey has a goal to get a job working for the city of Staten Island so she can shine a light on the positives of the area for all to see, and the Brit's performance is so grounded and rooted she could pass for a native of the Island. You feel her struggle and applaud her drive, and wind up rooting for her over anyone else. She's the queen of this world, it's the movie that's focused on the wrong member of the kingdom.

This nascent effort grew into a support organization that served the families of victims by acting as a clearinghouse for 9/11-related information. By collecting relevant information on many of the 9/11 support groups, Where to Turn was able to direct families to available support groups and services. Where to Turn was also able to get answers to victims' general questions from organizations on both local and national levels, depending on the need. Where to Turn was able to assist families that found themselves caught in various bureaucratic mazes within many support organizations.

As Where to Turn became better known, it began to build relationships with top-level administrators of such support organizations and helped them to become aware of problems or needs that were not being addressed. Where to Turn voiced the families' concerns and successfully enacted changes to the Victim's Compensation Fund as well as the redevelopment of Ground Zero.

It soon became apparent that the process that we had developed could be used to help all victims of tragedy. In October of 2004 the staff of Where to Turn began to verify and catalogue the various links with which they had been dealing. At launch the Where to Turn Website contained nearly 300 verified links.

The Where to Turn project managers are committed to not only expanding the inventory of listed links but to also review and verify all listed links on a regular basis for activity and accuracy.
