Hi. I didn’t say Indy 5 would make as much, just that it seemed silly to say Indy 4 will hurt the movie for a variety of reasons and used TFA as a comparison in that regard. I obviously don’t think it will make as much as that. Please don’t put words into my mouth.

When Bradley Cooper said he was from the streets in Licorice Pizza, I laughed like a hyena in the theater. I think I was the only one in the theater who got that reference lol

Moderation We don’t need MCU eulogies/speculation in the Tracking Thread every time Guardians 3 does bad numbers. It’s off topic and distracts from what the thread’s purpose is. I will move the off-topic posts to the Disney Thread later, which is where broader MCU discussion should go.

Was very crowded when I saw Air at around 4 PM with my mom. Lotta kids walking around, our tiny auditorium was packed. Things are good I guess.

Re: Returns' reception Like yes, it was very divisive with audiences at the time, but that was also over 30 years ago and I think there's definitely been reappraisal and a huge fandom for it today. Times change and so do tastes and I think Returns has a big fanbase today. I also think Keaton has a big fanbase, but I'm not gonna get into that argument again.

No. I was just being silly and making a joke. I apologize if that was an insult, but it was not my intention whatsoever.

You look like Crystal Skull to a degree.

Keysersoze has been saying that as a possibility and previews are gearing for mid-teens. Add on superhero fatigue and "sad boi marketing" and there's little reason for me to be optimistic. Could be wrong here of course, but y'all should gear up for this reality.

I don't understand the whole "Indy 5 will do bad because Indy 4 was also bad". Like that came out 15 years ago. That's plenty of time for its stink to wear off. And this is also like arguing that because the prequels were bad that Force Awakens would do bad too.

Re: the Guardians will open above Ant-Man's opening. Gotta be honest, this whole "just wait for the final week" feels like something people just want to happen because they don't want to deal with Guardians doing worse than Ant-Man. It's already doing worse in ticket sales than Ant-Man and has been losing ground here in Philly. But now it's expected to shoot all the way up and sell a bunch of tickets and have way bigger previews and everything will be happy? It would basically have to have insane walkups to catch Quantumania's ticket sales. I'm sorry guys, but this is likely heading for sub-100.

RENFIELD (2023)

BAH GAWD

It's not a nostalgic toy commerical. It is a toy commercial, but it isn't based off an established property, and auds don't like that. I know some don't like me saying this stuff, but...that's just how things are now. 🤷‍♂️

I know it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things since it's still going to be super profitable, but it is a bit of a bummer that Wick 4's looking to only finish just slightly ahead of Parabellum. Would have really loved to see it cross 200M and maybe even get ahead of Quantumania. It is what it is I guess. Great holds for Mario and Air though. The latter is one my mom specifically asked for me to take her to, and I'm very excited for tomorrow.

I mean if they ever did a Smash Bros. movies, it would probably just be Nintendo characters, with no Sonic or Ryu or whatever third party characters. The problem though is that trying to force some big crossover with a bunch of characters who are all from different games with their own tones and styles and universes just sounds like a big headache and reeks of fanfiction trash (which is already the case. Brawl's story mode is fun to play, but as an actual story, it's a big hot mess). This isn't like Marvel where all the movies are in the same genre and tone and style.

This probably means the movie will be a banger, but I am going to dread the annoying audience members that will respond to this. Maybe I should go on a weekday

Imagine being angry at somebody for saying the people who made the Minions probably would be a bad fit for making what would basically be a redux of Aliens. These kids today smh
