Just found that tomorrow, Wheatus is playing in the tiny hall in my town. It must be hard being a one-hit wonder band who has to tour the world to scrape every last inch of the barrel from a 20-year old song.
Anyway - tickets booked.
Brie Larson seems very like deer-in-the-headlights with her sudden extreme A-list fame. All her press interviews she puts across a very forced personality. Fortunately she's fine in the film.
I also agree Emily Blunt would have been better, a shame that did not work out.
it has plenty of "buzz". It's had very successful marketing on social media and lots of activity / trending.
Slaughterhouse year? it's avengers 3rd weekend not its first.
rather than blaming release dates... or competition... or marketing...
is it not possible that there are fewer people interested in watching a Pokemon film than you thought?
Greatest Showman is comparable to Titanic and Avatar. It just kept holding and holding and holding, I recall trade publications referring to it as a mini-Titanic, and here on the forum people were eagle eyed watching it get closer and closer to Titanic's 20x multiplier.
well, that's the thing, ,studios do make new content, and most of the time they end up flopping and losing studios tens of millions / hundreds of millions. Disney specifically - here are all their big budget films that you could describe as "original" or "new" in the past 10 years:
A Wrinkle in time - FLOP
Nutcracker - FLOP
the BFG - FLOP
the finest hours - FLOP
tomorrowland - FLOP
into the woods - HIT
lone ranger - FLOP
john carter of mars - FLOP
lincoln - HIT
sorcerers apprentice - FLOP
Now i'm not saying disney cant be blamed for these films doing badly, but just on a correlation level.... can you blame disney for preferring to spend their money on guaranteed money makers?
next summer looks alright at the box office...
Jungle Cruise, Black Widow, Top Gun, wonder woman, fast and furious, Ghostbusters, Minions, Pixar,
and of course... N.O.L.A.N.
