Bad Robot’s rich overall deal with Warner Bros. Discovery is currently not in jeopardy though the lack of output has created a larger discussion about what the newly merged company expects to stem from the pact. Zaslav, sources say, was frustrated with the lack of delivery from the deal that was signed back in September 2019 after Abrams and Bad Robot met with suitors including Apple as they shopped for a rich new pact.

A high-profile comic book movie set to debut next year recently had its final script submitted to the WGA for screenwriting credit, and insiders tell Deadline that a staggering 45 writers had some sort of involvement with the script at various stages through the development process.

Nevermind, I forgot about the new rules for spoilers.

400 Million was not enough to save it anyway.
I think that announcment that Warners will be developing a Wizarding World series for HBO/MAx pretty much put the nails in the coffin of the FB as a film series.
With everything against it I agree the 400 Milllion is a testifment to the popularity of the Potterverse, but point is it should have done much, much, better.The FB franchise overall underperfromed, and naturally Warners will try and take the WW in a new direction.
I think the report was that Zaslav wanted to meet with producers about creating a show for HBO Max, there's nothing in development yet

This is so good, and so much better than Happy

I'm impressed by the presales here in my area. I don't know how Paramount turned this into a near Disney franchise-level event even outside the U.S., but it's a very positive sign that audiences could show up for something different after all.

It's be remarkable how much these people would help themselves with public opinion if they just owned their mistakes and made real efforts to do better. One of the BEST things about 2022 is the pushback against cancel culture. General public could not be more over it. Admit your mistakes like an adult and you'll be shocked at forgiving/understanding most people are.
Depp wasn’t fired from Fantastic Beasts because of cancel culture. Amber Heard made her allegations in 2016 and he still went on to film and release Crimes of Grindelwald unbothered after that. He was fired after he lost the UK trial and, more importantly, after WB conducted their own independent investigation on the case. Depp was the one who canceled himself with these lawsuits, literally everyone had moved on from this story.

I would be very cautious to compare literally any film to BvS' reception. It doesnt happen too often that a film is literally despised as much at that one was outside a certain side of the fandom we're all familiar with i think.
Doctor Strange 2 has mixed WOM, but not toxic WOM. It wont have a multiplier under 2.
But will it be as beloved as Suicide Squad and reach a 2.43x multiple?

Honestly, these "both Heard and Depp are guilty" or "I hope both go away" takes are probably even worse than the lunatic defenders, because you are actually reasonable, trustworthy people spreading harmful misinformation. I won't get into details, because we're supposed to discuss it in the thread for the case, which I'm avoiding revisiting because I don't want to read hurtful comments from members I like and respect (last time I went there it was kinda nasty). But if you look into what exactly Depp is suing Heard for, it's pretty clear these takes are wrong. One of them is lying, and the other is getting their career destroyed by it. You have the right to not want to inform yourself about the case or take any sides, but when you go on the internet to say both are evil and that both deserve to pay a price for it, you're actually helping hurt someone that doesn't deserve to be in this situation. I think the best is to just not say anything.

Random Thought: I still think the stupidest thing Snyder did was kill off Superman in BvS. What the hell is the point of killing off Superman when you have a Justice League movie coming out next year? lol now you gotta waste time and plot just to bring him back.
His death is what motivates Bruce and Diana to seek out the other metahumans to form the team. It would be too easy to fight alien invaders if they had Superman by their side, considering he is too powerful. It works perfectly if you watch Snyder's cut of Justice League.

Composer steal from themselves all the time. the ones in demand n particular. If you have only a limited time to score a film before moving on to the next one you have to do, you cut corners.
That's not an excuse, in my opinion it's like a screenwriter reusing a joke from one of his previous movies (which ironically was also done to Justice League by Joss Whedon)

"Hold My Hand" has yet to hit 1.5 million views on YouTube and completely missed the Global Spotify Top 200 chart. Gaga truly is a compete flop when an actually relevant star/recording act isn't on the album/song with her.
Thankfully it won't affect the film's success obviously.
It has nothing to do with Gaga, theme songs rarely perform well in the charts. And the ones that do, usually only pick up when audiences have seen the movie.

What is Wanda's story arc and why are some people claiming it will be controversial to fans? Does she die at the end?

Welp. Long live theatrical windows. It made $360m+ domestic and still outdid almost every 2021 film. Last year really was one for the books on what not to do.
It's important to remember that WB from the beginning committed to theatrical exclusivety for their movies released from 2022 and beyond. They made those deals with theater chains even before there were vaccines or the certainty that the theatrical business would be fully back to normal by now. They always said the day and date thing was not a new business model, but a pandemic related decision, and they kept their promise.
And whether that emergencial startegy was a mistake it's debatable. In my opinion blindsiding their partners and the talent involved was an undeniable mistake, but the day and date release of their 2021 slate was successful in not only putting HBO Max on the right track after a failed launch, but in also helping theaters to recover. I believe things would have been worse for both the theatrical business and WarnerMedia as a corporation have they not made that decision.
