Some time ago I put a reminder in my calendar about the “BBG movie”.

At the time in my absolute hubris assumed I would remember what BBG stood for. Search turns up nothing useful even with BFG excluded.

Decent chance it’s a kids movie.

Anyone got any ideas?

Edit: it’s likely something to be released soon either on streaming or cinema. I checked my local cinema listings and nothing matches.

Edit 2: calendar doesn’t say when I set it unfortunately

      I’m in Ireland but I appreciate the guess.

      Cheers. I watched this recently and it’s not a movie I would have set a reminder for. I just use the IMDb watchlist in general.

      It’s likely something to be released soon.

    I see you haven’t found an answer to this yet. Are you sure the “BBG” was in reference to the name of a movie? That the intended meaning wasn’t something like “movie with BBG (a person)”, “movie at BBG (a place)”, etc?

    Decent chance it’s a kid’s movie

    There’s the BFG, AKA the Big Friendly Giant, a 2016 Steven Spielberg movie.

      Definitely not that unfortunately. It was the first hit I got but we’ve all seen it before. Thanks though!

      Massive props for the creativity but I can’t think of any mega villain that fits the role.

      I’m actually going to go back through my IMDB watchlist and see if there’s anything that vaguely matches. It is extensive though. Like I’d watch 4 movies a week. I’ve a massive heap of kids so night is my only quiet time and that’s how I spend it.

    What day and time is the reminder specifically? Might help a little.

    BBG in D&D is Big Bad Guy. So any big villain movies? Could it be an actor’s/actress’s initials?

    My text message app let’s me search past texts, I’d try throwing “bbg” in the search there and see if I told anyone something

      It was set for today about 90 minutes ago.

      Love the text idea. Cheers I’ll do that in a bit just cooking dinner.

      I thought you had it there for a minute. Spiderverse is definitely one I would have set a reminder for because I went to see it in the cinema with three of my kids for the last one but, alas, the next one’s not out until next year.

      Edit: bound by lies looks good, but not necessarily good enough to set a calendar reminder for. Checking watchlist…

      Edit: not in watchlist but great guess. It’s out next week.

      Edit 3: tried other possible typos with no luck

        The title doesn’t line up but the third spiderverse you mention (Beyond The Spiderverse) was originally actually expected around July 2026 (like producers hinted they were targeting now and everything) and was only pushed so as not to release same year as Brand New Day.

    I checked for BBC movie, just in case but nothing.

    I think the only option is you’ll have to see every movie coming out end of July.

    I wonder if BBG was some kind of working title at the time 🤔

    This is a hilarious problem to have, btw

      Haha. Like I’m a massive movie lover and I honestly must have thought at the time “oh! Can’t wait for bbg!!! Write that down!!!”

      Then I thought all you movie geeks would slap me upside the head in ten seconds flat with the answer but here we find ourselves.

      I am definitely going to be keeping an eye on upcoming cinema releases though.

    Children of Blood and Bone?

    There’s also another Batman part 2, something about Gotham maybe.

      Not batman but I really appreciate the creativity. Many thanks.

      I honestly think we’re at the end here. There have been loads of solid suggestions. This feels like I put something away carefully then forgot where. Lesson learned.

      Super looking cast but that’s not it. I’ll check the batman one after I cook dinner.
