Water Bottle

Remember when Paramount had a Star Trek movie (Beyond) coming out during a Star Trek anniversary and like did nothing with that free marketing opportunity? I think this movie in June does SO much better. Even without the PLF lost, Barbieheimmer hype just meant people were going to pick one or both of those movies instead. June 20th though? You easily beat out No Hard Feelings and Indie wasn't a real threat. GIves the movie more time to have it's own hype.

Sadly I do know lots of people who would go to the theater more but they can't afford it. The AMC pass is great though.

I don't dislike him.

It must be wack having your entire pop culture knowledge be based entirely on MCU references. Also his code name is fucking Maverick. Top Gun: Maverick

8k? Are they even making 4k content lol

And it's worked for a lot of people. Lots of people prefer staying home and not going to the theater because their TV gives them a good enough experience for them. Of course, TVs can't match the actual theatrical experience for most of us no matter how good the TV gets. We just don't have big enough homes. Because in the end, it's the size of the screen that matters.

oh no every screen will have better visual and audio

"generation of kids" the movie's rated R it was never meant to inspire kids

It would be funny if they put Amy Schumer in the now inevitable Barbie sequel. I like Amy Schumer. She's funny.

I don't think so.

Gee I wonder why there's a strike

It's incredibly dumb that they went from calling it HBO Max to just Max. HBO Max uses the HBO brand which is pretty strong. Max is a meaningless name.

Wouldn't this just be a fast and furious movie

PG-13

You can easily do a consistent reflection on what it means to be a military soldier, tackling toxic masculinity (vs say healthy masculinity) in GI Joe. Whether it would be good or not is a different story.

Zaslav watching Barbie beat Oppenheimer at the box office probably leaves him feeling vindicated.

Thinking Hollywood is about the brands is why the studios feel they can screw over WGA/SAG members actually. I know, I know. That's a tough concept for you to get. Marvel consistently underpays VFX workers while demanding they worked harder and faster for a reason. It's not about the people. It's about the brands. They gotta deliver the next Marvel movie after all. I'd rather movie theaters go the way of opera than fight to only get bland, shallow CGI fests that keep trying to extend a story beyond it's natural lifespan because it's part of a "brand" that has lost all meaning. "See this movie to get hints about the next movie so that maybe five movies down the line there's a payoff but that payoff will come with hints for the next movies". Like give me a break. You enjoy that? Fine. I used to until Endgame wrapped up the universe for me. And now I want to get more from the big studios than just money grabs brand exploitations. There will always be Marvel movies. Depending on ONLY brands has worked fine for Disney and it's starting to catch up to them. And now, pointing this out doesn't hurt SAG/WGA. A big reason for the strike is how the industry has changed. And yeah, blockbusters being only brands now has been a negative change for the industry. A more healthy balance between sequels and original big budget movies would ACTUALLY help SAG/WGA. (and for the record movie theaters going the way of the opera would not be the end of movie theaters since opera is still kicking around)

One hit movie with multiple shows struggling to find viewers and the non-guardians movies seeing a decline in the box office with ant-man 3 being a notable disappointment.

How desperate is Disney gonna get now that the MCU is falling lol

Then why is he wearing purple checkmate

There's going to be such a gold rush as soon as the WGA strike ends lol good luck to all writers

Around labor day.
