That is not a great sign for Superman then

Why is F1's previews almost half of its opening Friday? No other project this year with previews of at least $10,000,000 has had its previews constitute that much of its opening Friday

A contingent of gay guys who obsess over imperious women who strut across stages or screens absolutely exists—on the internet, anyway. If you ever go on Tik Tok, Twitter or any other social networking website you will be inundated with it. Any of those aggressive accounts you see with a female recording artist as its avatar is a gay guy. I have not encountered any gay guys like that in reality, but they are there on the internet. One can argue that they are just outsized voices on the internet and not representative of gay guys, but perpetually online employees at production companies absolutely saw their antics on the internet & believed that they are representative of your average gay guy. That is why they are marketing it the way that they are and why they put it out in June. It appeals to no one outside of the aforementioned people

It will be a bomb in any reality

Yeah, no. An original screenplay has always been in reference to a project’s screenplay. It has been the terminology since Hollywood’s inception. Definitions do not just change because you want them to change

I said that it was going to be another Furiosa when people on here were having breakdowns over Mickey 17, and people said that I was trolling. The way that the internet has outright deluded people really has to be studied

That is because the Barbie excuse has always been bullshit. The proponents also only ever used that excuse for Mission Impossible. Sound of Freedom and everything else released around the same time never get that excuse, but somehow Mission Possible ( a project that appeals almost solely to middle-aged guys) is having its box office ruined because of Barbie. The notion that the young women who powered Barbie to its huge numbers possibly having interest in Mission Impossible has to be the silliest box office theory ever proposed

Through deduction, that right there lets you know that they only care about success. They are bringing back guys who have put out their highest grossing titles ever, even though their recent output has terrible reception, because they want to win New York Film Critics Circle awards

Villenueve signed on to direct Dune a year before Blade Runner: 2049 even came out, I believe. They did not put out articles about “circling” the project. They would have been signed him as the director by now if they really wanted the guy. It appears to be an unsuccessful publicity effort

Thunderbolts with a 50% drop and a per theater average less than $2,000. It is about to shed theaters heavily. I just looked at that X-Men director article, and it says “circling.” They are absolutely not having him be the director for X-Men irrespective of publicity tactics

Its biggest drop is 43% in the sixth weekend. PVOD is not why Companion etcetera are tanking. They have not even been performing remarkably on PVOD. It is almost as if people are just not interested no in the titles

Karate Kid is not going to set PVOD on fire either. He also nullified his own point when Sinners is the poster boy for legs & is also being promoted on PVOD

The fact that you are bringing up Siskel and Ebert in a post about film critics in the 2000s is enough to reveal that your post is projection

It is actually an indictment on the devolution of film criticism altogether. You went from Ebert & Roeper, people who are actually knowledgeable about film & its history, to people with a Youtube channel who have no idea what a tracking shot is

I have no idea why people have any faith in Fantastic Four. The franchise has a track record, and general audiences are just not into the property
