That is also true sadly. There's always going to be a major audience sector that don't like seeing those goshdarn cartoons and will always make franchise installments like these more niche. People see those Disney remakes for a reason after all.

I mean the first live-action movie in 1990 broke box office records and the 2014 movie made $500M. Don't think going into live-action hurt the franchise's appeal whatsoever. Honestly the big issue here in hindsight is that Mutant Mayhem didn't really have much of a hook to distinguish itself from the recent movies outside of the funky art style. So it really only got the hardcore fans excited. Plus the 2014 movie came out when there was a hot new cartoon on Nickelodeon that was averaging 2-3 million viewers an episode. The last show, Rise of the TMNT, flopped, with its second season dumped on Nicktoons. And there hasn't been anything new with the property apart from a Netflix movie that came and went last year. So it doesn't help that a lot of kids today don't have the same Turtle fever that kids 10 years ago had. And in the end, it's still gunning for a solid 120M domestically and has strong reception that will help keep the franchise chugging along. If Paramount were smart, they would find a way to send this to Netflix if they want a good sequel bump. Spider-Verse got a huge second wind of popularity when it played on there.

Feel like everybody thinks that. Especially in regard to Oppenheimer.

lmao wat People actually remember her birthday?

Anyhoo, not gonna look at all the NCD sales for obvious reasons, but I thought it woulda been neat to at least look at the re-releases and see all the tickets sold for them at my theater. Just to see how the classics are holding up. American Graffiti: 41 tickets Jurassic Park: 119 tickets Beauty and the Beast: 66 tickets Boy oh boy, do people love them those dinos.

Moderation We’re not doing this “grr critics bad. Grrr critics too nice to MCU movies” stuff. Move along.

The Branagh Cinderella frustrates me because it should be my absolute jam. Love the Disney film to pieces, Cinderella's my favorite fairy tale story, it has Cate Blanchett, Sandy Powell did the costumes, I adore romance stories. And there's so much to love in the way they reinvent the story and expand key roles, as well as just the production values. But I also really hate the characterization of Cinderella and how they made her this bland, passive figure that feels like a total step back from both the Disney film and just a lot of modern interpretations in general. Why a film from 1950 has a more active female protagonist with more personality than a 2015 release is utterly baffling to me and it's a waste of Lily James' charms and talents.

I'm just baffled it even exists. What was the goal in greenlighting a third movie in a series most people don't even really like? Especially when the last film didn't even do all that well anywhere, said last film was set to be on a big decline even in a best case scenario and it's a horror movie (or is it?) that has little to do tonally with the other two movies? Was Disney/Fox really just assuming Michelle Yeoh's eventual Oscar win was going to bring people in? Did they hope this would get Kenneth Branagh to sign onto a Hulu show or something? I genuinely don't understand the goal here.
