  1. Some of the worst dialogue I’ve heard in recent years. This looks, sounds, and feels just like a blockbuster greenlit 18 months before release. Which it was.
  2. She'll be fine. She's the 15th billed star on Infinity War! Everyone dreams of being the fifteenth billed star in something.
  3. I'm feeling more optimistic about RPO's box office potential compared to my thinking three weeks ago. The two very recent trailers (Dreamer, Come With Me) where leaps and bounds better than the first two trailers, and the impact they made on me I'm sure was felt elsewhere. A trailer's best asset is excellent music selection, and the covers of Pure Imagination and Take On Me used in recent marketing are wonderful. Word was good out of SXSW, and the Rotten Tomatoes score has only continued to increase since the initial batch of reviews (reminds me of Ant-Man). I was very apprehensive about the film's quality until a month ago, but it looks like it should be a genuine crowdpleaser. Before I was thinking this would top out at 120m. Now I'd say 150m. I think I'm most excited to hear Silvestri's score. I'm expecting a good amount of musical references. I'm going to explode whenever the BTTF theme comes up (A sure bet to play given the DeLorean will make several appearances, and Silvestri)
  4. Was anyone actually impressed by the first teaser back in October? I remember feeling nothing for it then, and upon rewatch, it remains unremarkable, other than one or two shots. Production design, costume design, and almost all of the cinematography looks bland, nothing that inspires true horror, and no star power whatsoever. No wonder Fox wants to add new chara*stars*cters. By the time this is out, the first trailer will be 22 months old. What's the record for length between a film's first trailer, and it's release? Closest I can think of is G.I. Joe Retaliation (16 months).
  5. I agree. And the "Pure Imagination" trailer should have been the second and final. The first teaser from Comic Con last summer, and the follow up trailer they ran with in December (with horrible use of Van Halen's Jump) were both boring. Up until a month ago, the marketing for this felt very dull, but this late marketing push (studio must have realized the buzz was lacking) both give a feeling of warmth and humanity, whereas the first trailers felt cold and mechanic.
  6. I've seen some (admittedly more active) members plug their YouTube channels, so I thought I'd share mine. On TVJunkie, I make video essays about the business of the entertainment industry. Topics I have covered include "Kevin Feige & The Rise of Marvel Studios", "The History of Netflix", "ESPN In The Digital Age" and many more. Here's a sampling of my recent videos. Summer 2018 Box Office Predictions: Disney, Fox, & The Future of Media: ESPN In The Digital Age: Hopefully you all enjoy these videos, since everyone here is obviously interested in the financials of entertainment, these should be up your alley. If these interest you, here's the rest of my channel: http://www.youtube.com/c/tvjunkie93
  7. Not a fair comparison. JL couldn't even retain the audience from BvS, much less add to it. And that speaks to the quality of those individual films. Even WW I feel was vastly overrated. I'm curious how much focus Marvel puts on BP/Wakanda in the final marketing push for IW. I know several minor characters from BP will be in IW, so lets see if Marvel makes them seen. Also, even if only a little of the BP audience shows up, with a little of the Doctor Strange audience and a little of the Guardians audience, it still adds up to Marvel's widest potential audience yet with Infinity War.
  8. So BP 4-day will be either just below or above JL's total DOM take, per Deadline. Fingers crossed for 'above'...
  9. So do I. The final hour in Chicago had some legitimately enthralling action, and the story was only half as contrived as the other sequels.
  10. It's too early to make conclusions on AM&W, one way or the other. Marketing just started. Wait until June to start guessing.
  11. Again, not surprised by the trades being conservative this early. It's to be expected of them at this point. Makes the industry look better in they can increase the numbers rather than have to decrease them.
  12. Deadline's #s are be conservative. They're going to shoot up tonight, like Deadpool's first #s two years ago, same holiday weekend, bigger cultural zeitgeist.
  13. I made a box office breakdown video of Justice League's opening weekend. I analyze the numbers, extrapolate the data to predict a final count, and specualte as to why this failure happened. Some of you enjoyed similar breakdowns I've made in the past for PotC 5, Deadpool, and others. I promise it's more analytical than other YouTubers I've seen discussed here. Hope you enjoy!
  14. Because success in Hollywood is needing to reboot your property because of critical and financial loss. Got it. Glad we cleared that up. I didn't know that Amazing Spider Man 2 was a success story!
  15. This is, quite literally, a film involving Batman and Superman, that looks to be tanking. And the point isn't to be rebooting endlessly. Would you call The Amazing Spider-Man series a success?
  16. Ah, yes, because WB was hoping for "to early to tell" if they will make back their investment. Look how low the bar has been set. If the question is if JL would make any money, and not how much of a profit it would turn, then the battle is already lost for WB.
