Damn. So much for my source saying it is top 5 MCU and best ant man. Must be in jovial mood when he watched it or his source might have been. Anyways, will still check it out in theaters, but hard to get excited for the future unless they can knock it out of the park with some key films.

Relegated to vod. Should have gotten theatrical.

Rooting for Leterrier. Hopefully, he gets his first worldwide mega hit and gets flood of offers. Looks fun as hell, but I think War & Pathan director, Sid Anand would have delivered something cooler with a 350+ budget.

People were saying same for 2015 version...can't be worse than 2005 and 2007 movies...lol...

I saw ff2005 and ff2007. Did not see 2015 one. The first two were meh. The last one...well...

I fear for fantastic four. If that ends up meh under marvel studios then I will pray the marvel brand dies completely. Don't care what came before or how the first saga was great.

Not within marvel.

Heard this is the best ant man movie till date and one of the best MCU films. The person said he feels it is top 5.

This. In India, this is normal. Infact, in most civilized nations. Makes sense. You wanna watch a movie at the back then pay more for it. Entitled folks need to learn with times.

I feel the next film that will make decent-good money is the ranbir+shraddha ROM com. Bhola might leg it out, but I think movie-goers have spent all their quota on pathaan. Hence, February releases are screwed.

It's the gay couple thing. America pretends to be open. It ain't. Orthodoxy is still seeped deep inside the average american middle class. The gays are a minority and simply don't have the clout or numbers to make such films hit. They can use same sex thing in bigger commercial superhero movies and it may work, but if you think they will breakout and do a billion, you are sorely mistaken. Expecting a country to suddenly develop their tastes when they can't even elect a female president after 246 years of independence is expecting too much.

This gonna be insanely good. A potential Inglorious Basterds / Fury type film.

Assuming this stays on its current release date, casting will be announced comic con 2023. Shooting will start in fall 2023. Reshoots in summer 2024. First trailer comic con 2024.

They should get Rahul Kohli instead. Frankly, just hire one of the popular A list actors from Bollywood, Telugu, Kannada or Kerala.

If it matches Black Adam worldwide numbers, I would consider it a success.

Ant man 3 will open in the 110-120M range.

Siddharth Anand for fast 11, please. He will make you forget about physics and stuff because of how he presents his stars.

Aditya chopra in all his glory?!

War had an Australian dop.

Actuals will be 3-5M higher.

The makers were absolutely idiots. Spent all the money making an expensive movie, but totally failed at narketing. They didnt even attempt to remove original VV or dubbed version from streaming platforms. At least Ajay had the sense to do it with drishyam2. That and they chose wrong release period, during dusshera when hindi families don't go out much. They promoted alcoholia when the movie had much better songs albeit non commercial to promote. It was a damn good movie, but stigma of being a scene to scene remake of a movie that everyone had watched during pandemic did not help it all. A good movie that was a commercial failure for all involved due to dim wits in charge of promotion /marketing. Also, since original /dubbed is widely available on OTT and played on TV channels, there is no point of this coming to OTT.

Watched Pathan. Fun time at the theatre. It was a combo of Mission impossible, James bond esque romance, fast and furious, saaho, war ..etc. Proper mediocrity on display, but thoroughly entertaining. This movie is definitely a comeback boxoffice wise for Srk in a big way, but acting wise, I have seen much better srk in action movies. He was solid. I feel John was the real deal in this. Mind you, he is no thespian, but boy he was presented in a much cooler fashion and delivered a cool villain act. Felt more sympathetic for him than Pathan. Deepika was good too. The references to Kabir and Tiger showing up in a long action scene was nice and made the movie better than it had any right to be. Vfx was dodgy as hell, but doesn't matter. It was just Sid delivering mediocrity in a thoroughly entertaining fashion. Bang Bang, War, Pathan. Guy knows how to present his stars in the best fashion possible. The bigger budget he gets, the more crazy he gets. Lord Sid please keep delivering these throughly entertaining khichdi action flicks. Keep going crazier. Hollywood should call him for the next fast and furious. Until then, looking forward to his next khichdi, Fighter. Record of Pathan will be intact for a good couple of years. Will be very tough to beat in India, overseas and globally. No Bollywood film in the last 2-3 years had as much organic buzz or hype as Pathan. The boxoffice numbers prove that. A big budget commercial comeback vehicle for Srk mounted by the biggest studio in India. There was always bound to be pent up demand. Add the whole spy universe thing, which elevated the buzz. The more promising movies of Srk coming out this year will do well, but not these numbers. Tiger3 will be close. The next tiger/pathan duo mission might do it. Whenever that comes out. Aditya chopra will direct it.

Actuals will be 60+.

Devdas remake and Asoka are gems of shittiness.

The world has 1700+ IMAX theaters yet big movies make a decent chunk of money on that format due to the high ticket price. Is Pathan releasing in IMAX only in India or overseas as well? I was assuming it is getting worldwide IMAX release.
