  1. I mean, after Matrix 4 (which i loved) and Secrets Of Dumbledore bombing, it should’ve been clear that iconic characters is not all that matters for movies to be impactful. Inception and Interstellar are arguably some of the most relevant movies of the past decade and people hardly remember characters names as well. To some extent, the “it doesn’t have iconic characters” and the “it doesn’t have memes” arguments comes from the same place, since memes are usually created around characters. And while yeah having memorable characters is nice, measuring impact based on that alone is hollow. Morbius was one of the most quoted characters last year, it’s still quite big on social media, yet the movie is a total failure. Avatar doesn’t have iconic characters so far, and it’s not the next LOTR or HP, but it clearly didn’t needed to be in order to be equally or more succesful. LOTR and HP have more exciting characters but they also can’t deliver the dreamy otherworldly experience both Avatar stories did. Sometimes movies impact people in different ways, and thank God because they’re art not math. Having no Gollum doesn’t mean there’s no cultural impact, it just mean that the impact is probably different, especially because that also doesn’t mean people dislike the characters and their story, or the movies wouldn’t have such great reception … no CGI can save a story from being boring. Like i said earlier, it’s succesful in every possible reliable metric that exists, we shouldn’t keep fighting data twice for the same franchise, so i’m sorry but the Netflix comparisons just won’t do it. And while you’re totally entitled to your vision, it’s hard to understand why the franchise will have a hard time from now on right after a movie with amazing audience reception including on US. People loved watching it, but they won’t come back because they doesn’t easily remember the lead name? The tech explanation also doesn’t matter, the movie was a huge success at home too, people can watch CGI in other movies if they want to.
  2. Didn’t Avatar 2 ended up being one of the most streamed movies of the year while also being one of the best selling movies of the year in home media? I’m pretty sure it was also the most pirated movie in 2023. Basically it’s succesful in every possible metric that exists, just like the first one, being a juggernaut in box office being only one of it’s metrics. People care about these movies, people watch them both in theaters and at home, just say it’s not a meme online next time and call it a day.
  3. Tbh presales don’t suggest 45M at all so far, probably just a classic deadline lowball 55M seems like a safe bet, even 60M seems reasonable
  4. Yeah 28-29M for Dune then, great. Really doubt it won’t do at least 45M more coming off a nearly 30M weekend so 250M is locked, let’s see how higher it can go. KFP4 can try 30M, great as well
  5. Really like the cartoonish aesthetic of the whole thing, it’s fun goofy imo That said I really hope these grey scenes with cities being destroyed isn’t the climax. GvK already did that and it looked much better with the neon lights. Hope they can come up with something else for the final battle rather than the same set up but grey this time
  6. Similar pattern to last weekend would give it a 32M third weekend off a 4.5M THU I think it´ll be a bit lower but yeah, 28M on the low end probably, 30M quite likely
  7. Searchlight seems to not really care much about strategy. Poor Things was supposed to release in early September and only ended up in the middle of the award season time because of the strike, and won 4 Oscars that maybe wouldn’t happen if it wasn’t for the forced delay. Nightbitch was going to Hulu from what i remember reading, likely because of Disney pressure. Hoping they revert it, it’s a promising movie.
  8. Probably confirmed for Cannes with this date They doesn’t seem to be expecting Oscars tho, which makes sense since it’s an anthology movie
  9. It was shot basically at the same time, so a portion of the cast simply did both haha
  10. Batman is kinda useless because it was holding amazingly until they put it on streaming and the movie simply fell of a cliff Dune should get way better late legs because it won’t be on streaming for “free” that soon. And yes, should be -205M by SUN with a 28-30M weekend. It really would need to fell of a cliff as well to miss 250M. Even the competition problem seems like it won’t be so big, Dune 2 seems to be keeping a decent portion of IMAX screens against Godzilla.
  11. It wasn´t sudden, after the release the informations of abusive work was leaked and everyone was rightfully mad because Phil Lord just won´t shut up on social media but never adressed this in any human way. I think it´s quite reasonable that some backlash remains. People aren´t even hating the movie overall, just happier that something else won, and pissed with some people from spiderverse going to social media say they´re robbed by the japanese movie which is tone deaf.
  12. I think she knew clearly there was a very tight race between them, but since she lost SAG it just felt like she was prepared to lose and clap. She just seemed without much reaction when they announce it, like someone knowing it was very possible but wasn´t counting on it. But yeah i think people are projecting that she didn´t expect at all.
