Hopefully they address the controversy surrounding the necessity of dropping the bombs on Japan...

Pretty swell trailer. The chanting (at the end) always gets my blood pumping! They seem to be holding back a lot, though. The SFX are probably not ready yet. The movie will be coming in hot.

They should release it at a time where it can keep PLFs for a while. Maybe even postpone it to beginning of next year. I can wait as long as it can benefit from a better release window.

Pretty much every movie has an initial much longer cut, it's not really notable.
The assembly cut talk is as old as people complaining about CGI in trailers. Not saying all CGI is perfect but often during a movie the "fault finding" takes a backseat as long as the movie keeps you entertained.
Flash strikes me as kind of a D&D, based on reactions. A fun adventure if you care for these type of films. I'm basically here just for Keaton.

No they weren´t, literally no one was expecting a good D&D movie watching those trailers because they was selling big action sequences and random jokes, but where the movie really shine was in the interaction between the characters and the humor dynamic between them
The promotional material did also feature that.

´´Now we’re getting word that another record-breaking test-screening occured yesterday and, shocker, the response was enthusiastic. This was said to be the Final Cut of the film and the scores were “through the roof,” again.´´
I´m honestly convinced WB is selling this movie wrong and following the mistakes Paramount made promoting D&D
Hoping the second trailer actually shows what´s so good about it, instead of just the huge scale of the action
Unlike D&D, this one has people in spandex and capes. The movie will do fine.

If Avatar 2 made "only" 350m profit then pretty much no blockbuster makes any money.

Look, LOTR is my favorite movie series ever but if you think there won’t be a LOTR remake in movie or TV form in 15 years max then then you are crazy (I can bet you Amazon will jump at that as soon as ROP wraps).
Let's wait and see, i guess.
I mean, i wouldn't say it's impossible, but i doubt it. That shit is so expensive, i'm not even sure ROP will make it to the end if ratings keep dropping. They might just write the whole LOTR deal off.

This is like re-making Star Wars with a whole new cast in the early 90's or re-making Wizard of Oz in 1950.
Difference here is Star Wars OT is iconic, so is the LOTR trilogy. They would never touch it, not for a 100 years. Harry Potter movies aren't all that.

Wow, just goes to show how out of the loop i am. Never would have thought people are so crazy about a Mario movie. Personaly, i don't give a shit but maybe that will lead to more - interesting - game adaptations.

It's at 680.4m DOM (OS hasn't gotten updated yet, i think). Might finish with around $685m. Too bad, had it been a few million more Disney might have been inclined to push it to hit $700m. Oh, well, a great success nevertheless...

when do you think the real number will drop? Deadline's about as accurate as a mole throwing darts at the wall.
That is not my experience. Deadline is pretty accurate when it comes to preview / OD numbers. As accurate as you can be so early on.

If they will MCU-fy the DC universe i'm out.

I wish I had a dollar for everytime you say this. Repeating it over and over and over. I love Keaton in Batman. Its a draw for me that he in The Flash. Others will think the same. Some will not. Think its worth a little boost.
Indeed. Keaton is the reason Flash was trending and he is the reason i might drag my ass to a theater near me to watch this even though i'm not that big on CBMs.

superhero fatigue is real. Flash will underperform too. Hell I think every single one will. Yikes all of them doing awfulShazam flopping has no bearing on Flash. Judging from buzz Flash is gonna do very well.

Can THE WAY OF WATER stay flat this weekend? BoxOfficePro is predicting a 24% drop.
Doubt it. NWH with better late drops decreased 22% on that same weekend.

Imagine this doing a Pirates of the Caribbean.... It probably won't but wouldn't that be something...

Looks like a fun time, just like the trailers suggested.

That wasn't my point heh. It's just funny to me that Hollywood spent $150M on such an unproven IP cinematically (besides the aforementioned failed piece of schlock) that is largely considered a punchline for nerds in general. I'm mostly just sad as a Chris Pine stan that this is looking to be yet another bomb for him lol.
This discussion always comes up when something doesn't pan out, usually after the fact. We should be glad studios are still taking bets on unproven IPs or even filmmakers once in a while instead of critising them.

Ant-Man 3 &Puss In Boot are also playing in Russia - $1.53M &$4.66M respectively
Why is Russian box office not part of the offical gross then? Are those basically pirated copies?
Gladiator 2 | November 22, 2024 | DENZEL IS REUNITING WITH RIDLEY?!
in Box Office Discussion
Posted · Edited by Elessar
I love me some big historical epics and Ridley Scott is seemingly the only one who keeps doing them. Here's hoping he lives and works for another 20 years.
Gladiator is the goat, one of my favorite movies. Of course i'm excited for the sequel, knowing full well that reaching the greatness of the first is probably not in the cards. Still, going back to ancient Rome will be a treat.
