The book upon which it was based was written by a straight woman (I believe)
McQuiston is queer and non-binary.Their other two novels are both sapphic.

Paramount is in the worst state and Disney can barely keep it together. Not a great time for the studios in general.
I hope that the end result is all of the studio conglomerates breaking up into pieces-

If Superman: Legacy doesn’t outgross Man of Steel then how can it be claimed as a success? And Batman Begins is from a different era completely at this point. The Suicide Squad performed worse than Suicide Squad, Shazam 2 performed worse than Shazam, and Wonder Woman 1984 performed worse than Wonder Woman. Aquaman 2 will likely follow this trend. DC will have no reason to believe a Superman: Legacy 2 will be successful if the first movie underperforms in any way.
You can’t draw any conclusions from the grosses of either WW84 or The Suicide Squad. Both were massively affected by the pandemic and WB’s day and date streaming decision-

Not like this means anything but Barbie and The Flash now share the same verfied Audience Score.
Whenever Gunn gets around to casting the part he should hire Elliot Page as the Flash-

Maybe getting 3 different people to work on one trilogy was a bad idea.
Like George Lucas, Irvin Kershner, and Richard Marquand

The reunion of the three was likely never an option, since they decided to kill Han in the Force Awaken.
Ford probably demanded that Han get killed off, so if a reunion didn't happen in TFA, it wasn't going to happen at all
While many of the decisions in TFA were questionable from a trilogy starting standpoint, they did aid in making it as huge as it was
However, without those choices, I'm not sure Johnson could have done as well with TLJ
Because Abrams is so dedicated to the mystery box and refused to answer questions or even, y'know, basic plot setup decisions, Johnson had pretty free reign to interpret things as they stood
So he was able to give Hamill an amazing role, present Snoke however he liked, and set up a frankly amazing third act
Either option Lucasfilm had for the third film (keeping Trevorrow or letting Johnson have an extra year so he could do Knives Out) would have been better than bringing back Abrams

2019 TBF was really a fluke that could never be repeated, it doesn't mean they're doomed though.
It wasn’t a fluke it was a culmination
But to just s completely run the well dry with no real followup

Kinda wild how Disney went from complete box office dominance pre pandemic to now
Like they’ll only have one film in the top 5 probably and that’s because it’s the end of a sub franchise
Even accounting for Covid it’s shocking to see how dry the well is after 2019 dominance
The best thing they have on the block is Avatar which is a surprise

Cameron has a few really niche interests and is going to focus all his energy on those interests. I think one of the reasons the Avatar films grab audiences but don't really generate conversation is that we're all just along for his ride. It's like he's saying "I'm going to do my thing and I'm going to do it my way and I'm going to love it completely". And it's not just that the films are amazing technically but that the experience of seeing someone so focused on generating that vision for the screen is amazing to behold. It's like talking to someone who is telling you about something that they are really interested in but you aren't particularly interested, but you enjoy the experience just because of their enthusiasm, even though you don't have a whole lot to add.

Slumdog is a good movie but have never had any desire to watch it again since seeing it in a theater at the time. It's part of a long list of best picture winners that are not even close to being the best movie of that year.
The number of times the best movie of the year not only didn't win (I'm looking at you 88th), but wasn't even nominated (hello 84th)

Okay wow

I just watched Mad Max: Fury Road and I am just blown away. There's now a new film at the top of my list of movies I wish I saw in theaters, right ahead of Interstellar.
However many times I saw it in the theaters it wasn’t enough-

No
Hasbro owns it, and MLP would be able to have some popularity beyond little girls, given the popularity of Friendship is Magic among male nerds
EhI feel like the Bronies would hold back MLP at this point, undermining its reach with the core audience

How much of WB’s yearly box office is going to come from Barbie

If we're talking bombs I always remember how John Carter and Battleship ended Taylor Kitsch's dream of being a big movie star in the span of a month.
Battleship wasn’t good but it was the most fun I had at the movies that month -
19 days above 10m?

IMAX Tried to Help 'Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning,' But Paramount Wouldn't Budge
That's a sad bit of hubris.
I ended up seeing MIDRP1 on the big IMAX in Seattle on the final day before Oppenheimer opened, and I'm really glad I did. It looked great.

I think something like Miss Saigon would be a great challenge for him since he'd have to balance different things because it's set during and after the Vietnam War but it's also a tragic love story with complex characters. The Fall of Saigon which is an iconic part of the stage show would be incredible to film using IMAX cameras.
Miss Saigon is hella problematic
I can't see anyone wanting to really tackle it

I can’t see what would appeal to Nolan about Pearl Harbor or D-day
Even Dunkirk, which might be his most thematically straightforward film, had him playing with they different time progressions
I can’t see him doing another film in the same vein and without that it would lack the metaphysical questions that seem to drive the body of his work

Unfortunately Feige seems to have gotten greedy by getting the FF villain rights and burning up Kang prematurely.
Let’s be honestThe MCU has pretty consistently done poorly on the villain front
So many of them killed off prematurely

probably a near masterpiece, one of Nolan's best films, but may not have much rematch value . this won't fix Nolan getting criticism with female characters , he nearly wasted Blunt until the final act
Neither Blunt nor Pugh are given a whole lot to work with, but damn do they both deliver with the material they have

It's probably Nolan's best film
It's definitely not my favorite, tho
That's probably TDKR
