    There were rumors before Black Adam came out that Dwayne Johnson and James Gunn had competing visions for DC. Johnson apparently wanted to build up to a Black Adam centric Justice League/Suicide Squad crossover which is why he got Cavill back onboard and why Superman was working with Amanda Waller in the BA stinger. Apparently she was getting JL together to take down Black Adam and possibly the SS members who survived and defected at the end of TSS would side with BA.

     

    However, Johnson's rivals got the better of him Succession style, had Gunn appointed, announced his hiring on the Monday after BA release, confirmed Cavill was out and then proceeded to put out a hit piece against The Rock in The Wrap sometime later. 

     

    The first paragraph is mostly rumors (tho it's interesting that Waller and Superman working together in BA collaborates with them) but we saw everything in the second paragraph play out in public. Which is why I'm not entirely sure this wasn't a big cluster fuck decision. Will the rebooted Gunnverse really be more profitable than letting the Rock plan out his JLvsSS movie? 🤷‍♂️

     

    Yes

    Dune is now 72.9% of Batman. Last Wednesday was 71.06%, the previous Wednesday was 69.1%. Still just about 2% per week. Would really help the crawl to $300 mil if it dropped like... 35% this weekend. That would put it at 73.8% on Sunday.

     

    :Venom:

     

    Literally right on. 73.85% as of Sunday. 72.3% last Sunday, so only a 1.55% increase. It's going to need this IMAX re-release for even an outside shot at $300 mil.

     

    It's PROBABLY headed to $290 mil.

    To be clear, I actually have seen this film already. My comments about the Purge film were hyperbolic of course, but the film really doesn’t have much to say politically. If anything, the war is set in America for shock value and to make it more relatable (and marketable) than setting it in a generic Middle Eastern country.

     

     

    Honestly I'd say this is the point really. Would people really be politically affected by another war film set in another country? Or would they in their own country? People can be easily swayed by "propaganda" so placing the film in the US will do something to your brain in a "it could happen here" type of way. Whether or not it says anything specific politically is beside the point.

    Two teen ghosts work alongside a clairvoyant to solve mysteries for their supernatural clientele — until a powerful witch complicates their plans.

     

    Starring: George Rexstrew, Jayden Revri, Kassius Nelson

     

    This is TECHNICALLY a spinoff of DOOM PATROL (S3.03 Dead Patrol), but Max didn't proceed with it so when Netflix picked it up, they recast the main trio. But are keeping the Night Nurse character/actress.
