I think it is clear multiverse live action films, NWH aside, have been very confusing.
Keep it simple, cast Josh Hartnett as Dr. Doom, and go back to the roots.

I am so confused. I doo not know the details of this but he is obviously not the first person in recent memory to have assault charges, am I missing something here?
-
I would argue Wonka opens to ~60% of that number, at best, if WOM ands reviews were more muted. Glowing praise makes huge difference for this type of film.
-
Wonka looking at huge WOM legs over next few weeks. Its multiplier through January will be massive.
-
Wonka 2 is going to be huge. WB really did win 2023.

TLJ was not a bad movie, it just took the franchise into a direction a lot of the fanbase dont like.
TROS of skywalker was just a confused movie trying to Retcon TLJ lol
TLJ would have seen a dramatically better reception with just a handful of tiny edits. Lose the absurd clip of Luke about to kill young Kylo, use whatever means necessary to have Leia be the one who sacrifices herself to save the fleet, and make it clear that Luke is alive at the end of the film.
After it proved so divisive, how on Earth Disney didn't realize that they couldn't end with the next film is beyond me. They needed a course correction film before the ending.

The "WB December" commercial was a great touch. Wonka, Aqua, and Purple are going to combine for a lot of money.

Who cares? It made 43M in just 37 markets, many of them are seeing daily growth
It’s actually the opposite, while DOM seems to be heading to a good but normal 150M-ish, OS can try +300M with holidays if the next markets are strong like this weekend markets.
Domestic is going to be real tough to predict. The slew of strong headline it is receiving will help significantly.

Yeah no idea where this will end up, holidays + elite word of mouth + wide open market = optimal combination

Unlike Aquabro 2, Superman: Legacy will have a large curiosity as the launch of a new series. Beyond that, Gunn simply has to make a high quality film. There is no other way to put it. It has to be a mid 80s or better RT score type of critical reception.
Of course, if one wants SL to possibly truly breakout from day 1, yes a visual reinvention of sorts akin to Batman 1989 or TDK's version of The Joker might be needed to catch everyones attention. Everything about it just has to scream "Fresh and modern!".
-
Watch this movie end up with 85% RT score.

The word of mouth is tremendous and the market is basically wide open, tough to say where this ends up but its going to play well for the next 6 or 7 weeks.

WB just sort of does this with their franchise movies.
The way too long delays for Aquabro 2, The Batman 2 and Joker 2 say hi. They better not make mistake with Barbie 2.
-
Reception is all that matters for this type of film right now, good job by the team.
-
They really highlight TC's bone structure in these ads like he's a young Josh Hartnettt, so much chisel with that flow
-
Wonka + Dune 2 could def. solid him as something, but he needs to carry his own IP to be the next Leo.
-
What a weird, bizarre film. What did I just watch? Pike is a enormously underrated actress who should have broken out bigly after Gone girl but somehow did not.

Huh
Tell it like it is. What his company, Tesla, has done is largely remarkable. What his company, SpaceX, has done is fascinating. Musk was big Dem supporter for some very important elections.
I dislike his recent behavior as much anyone, but it is revisionist history to act as if Musk has done nothing redeeming in his career.

Musk basically said in the same interview to ignore the crazy stuff he impulsively says and pay more attention to the broad trends of his actions, which are obviously mostly impressive.

can't wait to see this! (said nobody from any political party)

How does anyone blame Iger for post-covid Disney debacle? Iger's intention for D+ in 2019 was for it to be a supplemental, "Disney TV channel on steroids" platform to compliment their robust theatrical channel. Covid forced Chapek and company to - logically, I would add - lean heavily on it while theaters were closed. Also, to state the absolute obvious, Bob Iger was by far the most qualified person to take over for Chapek on such short notice.
Iger's biggest mistake was botching the handling of Star Wars pre-Covid. It is hard dot even blame him for Chapek given the historically rough waters that Chapek was forced to navigate. The moves that he has been criticized for as of late were largely requirements due to the problems of 2020-2022.
Give them some time.

Godzilla and Kong 2, Dune 2, Joker 2, The Batman 2, Barbie 2, and Wonka 2 are certainly a solid group of sequels for the coming 26-30 months for them to build around.

The big problem with multiverse stuff is nobody can trust what they're watching to not be retconned. All of the Peter and MJ development from 3 Spider-man films goes out the window, for example. It's ridiculous. It's all a big confusing joke.
Marvel is really just proving how on-point Nolan was for insisting his series was just one iteration of Batman that must have a beginning and end so that audiences trust what they're watching throughout the series.
