If Deadpool 2 is March 2, 2018 then what is the Untitled Fox/Marvel film on October 6, 2017? Gambit? New Mutants?
Also I doubt Fox is going to keep that June 29, 2018 date, that's one week after the Jurassic World Sequel.
Also, The Flash is going to die after the one-two punch of Black Panther and Deadpool 2 (assuming it's the March 2 date).
But WB will likely move it, if they're smart.
I doubt its the end. These people in the entertainment business get millions of chances. Just look at Chris Brown. Although Depp might not be doing family films with Burton anymore.(Thats a good thing, because that collab got stale over a decade ago)
Just briefly skimming, i think people are overestimating Wonder Woman, and Thor Ragnarok.
Thor isn't the most popular MCU character. If Deadpool 2 is really the untitled Fox October 2017 film, then it has Justice League two weeks later-- that spells bad news for it. I think it's going to be the lowest grossing Thor film.
Wonder Woman has to contend with The Mummy, Transformers, and Despicable Me 3 in June, it literally has no breathing room. They should push it to August.
Where should they have placed The Nice Guys? I doubt it would have done any better in the spring with those four big releases sucking up everything (deadpool, zootopia, jungle book, BvS)
Fall is way too crowded as well.
are they really playing it in front of Angry birds? It's not a kid's movie.
Seems likely that to play in front of Neighbors 2 since that is a Seth Rogen movie.
Well they haven't truly had a breakout film since GOTG.
It's unlikely that Dr. Strange will be the next one, the subject matter is less appealing. I think that film performs in line with Ant-man, Thor, and CA:the first avenger.
In fact I'm not sure if Marvel has any surprise box office performances left. Especially since they aren't the only cinematic universe in the game anymore.
Don't get me wrong, they're far from being in trouble, its just not going to be as fun following their films at the office.
Money Monster is overperforming, the reviews are meh so the CLooney/Roberts star power duo is definitely propelling it. Clooney usually does well in dramas.
I mean Fassbender hasn't proven to be a draw at all, i bet the casual movie-goer still doesn't know him. He has a worst flop on his hands (Steve Jobs) than those two, he also hasn't headlined a franchise by himself.
I still think this going up against Star Wars is suicide. This will likely have some cross over audience with Star Wars.
Atleast Sing can pull in families/kids and Passengers can pull in females if they play up the romance angle.
