The revelation that Marisa Tomei's Aunt May disappeared during The Snap as well was a surprise cause I remember the Russo bros said she was alive in an interview revealing the fates of certain characters we didn't see last year right after Infinity War came out. Did everyone who was off screen at the time of The Snap get blipped lol?
Mistakes happen. Remember “Eight Years Later”?

We’ve already gotten a DC/Looney Tunes crossover, when Duck Dodgers crossed over with the Green Lantern. And it was actually pretty good. But no, DC/Looney Tunes probably wouldn’t work in any other context.

By gamers, for gamers.
Thanks for remembering the first Doritos meme.

Depends on how much the new VFX costs, how much they spend on marketing, and whether or not there’s a Doritos tie-in. (Checkmate, hatters.)

True, but you might wonder with Scooby with so much Scooby stuff stil out there, how many people are willing to pay ten bucks for something they think they can see for free on TV?
Maybe that’s why they are working Hanna-Barbera crossovers into it. I dunno. I wasn’t saying anything about the Scoob movie in particular, just that the common Internet complaint that there hasn’t been anything good with Scooby since Mystery Inc. does not reflect a lack of popularity of Scooby with the general public.

Forget Batman vs. Superman. Forget Godzilla vs. Kong. The world needs Nolan vs. Cameron. Two directors locked in combat to produce the most epic movie of all time.
-
The trailer for Tenet already exists. Nolan went back in time and hid it in the trailer for the Adam Sandler movie Click. You just have to play it backwards.

it looks like the cars are going back to their starting place. nothing groundbreaking lol
You’re probably right, but can we just pretend for a little while?

I hope they go completely over-the-top, without worrying about whether it will initially get an NC-17 and have to be cut back for theaters.

I disagree Scooby Doo isn't popular, the fact WB have done more series and DTVs with the character compared to their other IP suggests otherwise.
Scooby-Doo is one of those properties that remains consistently popular with kids, no matter how much us adult Internet geeks dislike a given iteration du jour. Like SpongeBob, The Simpsons or Family Guy, the IP is seemingly bulletproof.

I don’t know if others are thinking the same thing, but in my case I can’t wrap my head around what a sequel to Space Jam would be. It can’t just be a loose rehash of the first, but with meta jokes aimed at the earlier movie, right? But what else can you do with the Looney Tunes and an NBA superstar playing basketball against aliens?

if it has HC's run from today it would get to 400.2M. Though if I was a betting man something around GotG2 seems likely.
I remember being a bit perplexed at how people undersold GOTG2’s gross, they expected that one to break $400M without a sweat too, as if a breakout sequel is guaranteed if the first film checks a certain list of boxes. So I’ve been thinking about GOTG2 already.

Sony doesn’t actually own Insomniac. Sony pitched the idea to Insomniac, though (possibly because they wanted their own answer to Sunset Overdrive, which was developed for Microsoft and was originally an Xbox One exclusive).
Also, I thought Rise of the Tomb Raider was announced as an Xbox exclusive. Didn’t Sony diehards get pissed off at this, considering the franchise’s 20-year history on PlayStation consoles? As I recall, while this exclusivity arrangement didn’t exclude a PC release on launch, PS4 owners had to wait an entire year before they could get the game on their system.

Yeah, this. The foundation of the Terminator series is a woman who goes from being a terrible waitress to great cyborg killer. Funny, neither myself nor any of the men I know had a problem with that back in the day. My guess is, if the movie is done well none of us will have a problem with this either.
Maybe I'm wrong though and this movie will be doomed like Captain Marvel was...
Yeah, this is nothing new to the Terminator franchise. Tim Miller doesn’t need to posture, and Variety doesn’t need to write a clickbait headline for a general interview article just to get a raise out of people.

Didn’t the Sony Corp. executives order SPE and Amy Pascal to restart negotiations with Marvel, after the email hack debacle exposed the previous failed discussions in all their sandwich-throwing glory? Or is that just how various rumors and separate events have been conflated in the retelling?

The Sound of Music had re-releases. I believe there was one in the early 70s. They’re just not split out by Box Office Mojo. So we don’t know how much it originally grossed, and BOM may be overinflating the total based on assuming too much of the gross was in the original run - Jaws and The Exorcist and others may have this problem too. I bet Titanic probably still has the edge over it in first-run admissions, though it also has 30 years of population growth and being in the middle of a theatrical market boom on its side.
(Also, I’ve read that between the initial roadshow engagements and the subsequent general release, The Sound of Music’s “first run” lasted for four years. Somewhere I read Fox did not withdraw all prints until 1969. That’s insane.)

I don’t know which is the chicken and which is the egg, but I think these bread-and-butter movies were tied to moviegoing as something to do, a way to spend a couple hours. Who ever just goes to the movies on a date (or uses it as an excuse to make out in the dark) anymore? When do people just decide on impulse to see what’s playing?
For example, I like reserved seating for not having to show up as early and being able to skip part of the trailers, but it’s also basically an admission that moviegoing isn’t really an impulse activity anymore, and also ensures it won’t be again.
Also, another tangent - why is it I’ve almost never had a bad experience at the movies in my entire 31 years? I’ve had maybe one or two projection problems, one film break, one or two air conditioning failures, one time the lights wouldn’t stay off, a couple crying babies, maybe one intrusive (but still quiet) argument, and only maybe a dozen or so cell phone rings. (I’m not counting Fathom screenings, which have their own problems, I mean regular movie screenings.) And that’s not recently, this is all the stuff I remember going back to the 90s. That’s it. Am I just really lucky?

I've also started hearing criticisms of TDK saying that it supports the police or some garbage.
Oh, that’s not totally new. There were people accusing the Dark Knight movies of being reactionary back when they were in theaters.

Seriously, what is everyone’s problem with Kirsten Dunst? I thought she was a good MJ. I would get if you were complaining about how she was played in Spider-Man 3, because everyone but Thomas Haden Church and Rosemary Harris were going full camp melodrama, but I hear these complaints about her and her chemistry with Tobey in the first two. I just don’t see the problems everyone else does.

Damn, these numbers just keep crumbling. It’ll barely beat GotG2 at this rate 👀
I gave you a
but I do think this could still wind up as a GOTG2 “seems disappointing because it only modestly increased instead of being an easy $400M+/$1B+ breakout like everyone thought” situation. We’ll have to see.

I just looked it up, and Star Trek: Nemesis dropped from Insurrection by about 5% more OS than DOM, but that’s dealing with much smaller totals (down from $70.2M to $43.3M DOM, -38.3%, and from $42.4M to $24.1M OS, -43.2%)

How many other sequels that collapsed, collapsed worse OS than DOM? LEGO Movie 2 had about a 59.5% OS drop versus about a 59% DOM drop, but is there anything with a bigger gap between OS % drop and DOM % drop, other than where SLOP2 is at so far?

Same. Every now and then they attach a trailer that's more like a short commercial for a movie that's about to come out.
AMC is so odd with trailers when you’re accustomed to the standard procedure every other theater uses. There’s that, and also the single green band at the beginning with AMC-branded rating/release date slides at the end of each trailer. (Though the release dates are not a bad idea if the trailer itself just has the season/month...)
Still not as strange as the one Redditor who claimed they saw the typical YouTube 5-second mini-trailer before a real trailer in a theater. (Not for this movie, and I still don’t know if it was BS.)

Did anyone else see a trailer in theaters that was basically a TV spot, complete with “Crawl, rated R” voiceover at the end? I got that before Far from Home at the AMC Metreon (San Francisco), it was so weird.

Tony’s “If you told me ten years ago” is one that could also seem wonky because of the 5-year time skip, but it gets a pass from me because it still works if it’s referring to “before New York.” (Even though that’s 11 years ago, it’s close enough.)
