It says something that 500 Million is conisered to be a very good result for a Spidey staring fiilm. Pre 2020, 500 Million for a SPiderman feature would be considered under performing.

GOd, I don't see how that mistake was made. I must have had Fantastic Four at the back of my mind. Which is even more interesting; we have the duel of two films trying to launch a comic book franchise which has had bad luck at the movies lately

And if you have a family, this applies even more. Inflation has cut deeply into a lot of people's entertaiment budget.

Becuase if it just fun you are after, you can get that at home via streaming and not drop a lot of mnoey on tickets. I think a movie,unless you are part of a franchise or can sell yourself as an event, has to be more then just fun nowdays. For Fun you have cheaper options. And I think we have a major demographic issue with this forum: Most of the members are either in their teens or college age and do not have a family and they don't get how much tighter over the past few years it has become forpeopple with famalies. Inflatoin has bitten deeply into their disposable income. They simply do not have as much to spend on entertianment as they once did.

why should thy when they have a wide choice of "fun" films on streaming that willl cost a lot less? I really think a film has to sell itself as a event or be really, really, good to be a big hit nowdays. The the huge drop in theater aatendence due to streaming is here to stay. Things are not going back to the way they were before 2020.

I have to disagree about that.

Straighr to Streaming release. Hell, it might be straight to You Tube. I got a feeling the peoppe making this are the real amateurs.

God, This and Deaspool comng out within two weeks of each other will reignite the Marvel DC wars, God help us all. I think both films will do very well, but that with not stop the stupid fanwars from heating up.

Say8ing the MCU is dead is silly, but I really, really, doubt the MCU will ever be as dominant as it was pre 2020. And last year, except fo GOG every one of the Marvel films was a box office disppointment. Sorry, fanboy, sbut that is the way it is.

If Trump gets back in , then a movie which is going to be about how people deal with a Black Captain America. could be political dynamite. And aside from that, the stories of extensive reshoots and on set rewrites are not good news.

Oh, she can. She has plenty of what is called Fuck You Money. Provided you don't care what you do with your image. And Rowling has done severe damage to her image.

Maybe. Back in 2017 Wonder Woman did not help JL very much. It depends on how good the follow up films are. If they are not very good, the momentum willl not help. And as far as eshoots go, all re shoots are not eqaul, There is rehoots for fine tuning a good movie, and there are reshoots to try to save a film that has severe problems. The latter does not have a good rate of sucess...and Cap 4 is having major problems.

And Borsnan looks alot different then Mre. Maisel...

Andif anything, massive goverment involvment would mess things up even more. Entertainment is one area where letting the Market decide is the best, though not perfect, option.

I rewatched Lawrence of Arabia last weekend, and in addition to it being a great ,great movie, it gives you some idea of why the Middle East is so fucked up today. "There was a British Civil Servent by the name of Mr. Sykes, and a French Civil Servent by the name of Mr Picot"..
