This right here is the problem with Phase 4. It doesn't exist. It's a hodge-podge of disparate films and TV shows with no real throughline outside of multiverse shenanigans in only 3 out of 14 (!) titles.

To be honest they really should do this. We have time to convince Nolan. Bale is still relatively young.

The Box Office Buzz, Tracking, and Pre-Sale Thread

TLM will. -
Supposedly they're only visual homages, like Soto imitating Snyder's style. Doesn't really count as a reference to the universe itself.

Yea everybody forgets about The Lost City and Free Guy (marketed as a comedy mostly). -
Studios are so reliant on IP they can't even rest these franchises like they should following major failure. Remember the 8 year break following B&R? That's what DC needs. Instead the proper relaunch is happening a mere two years after Black Adam, Shazam 2 and the Flash.

That's just silly. No Hard Feelings wasn't that great -
Mission Impossible opened like a Mission Impossible movie, then got killed by Barbenheimer. Transformers overperformed given where the franchise is at right now. $42 million 5 day for an animated TMNT movie is pretty good. It's difficult on OW for any IP that goes animated AFTER going live action. Once auds have seen it live action it's difficult to get them out in droves on OW for the animated version. Remember Into the Spider-Verse's OW?

Wonder what the budget for Strays is...could be a small hit if low enough. -
Unfortunately mainstream audiences typically don't sign on for that unless it goes viral (like Megan).

True, but an entire movie about it?

LOL not happening with what Russia's been up to lately. Maybe if Russia had a film industry they could produce it.

He's made two of them.

You're forgetting there's a book out there. I don't follow these sorts of things, but is the book popular? If it is, then yes, this will make money.

Seriously. Nobody is forcing you to pay for overpriced concessions

So far the delays don't necessarily indicate a strike lasting till end of the year. If they don't have actors to finish stuff, there's a deadline for accomplishing that and it's probably Sept.

I didn't get the hate around Secret Invasion at first. The first four and a half episodes were well-written spy drama with great actors playing off one another. I prefer the MCU when it's down the earth and a little political. But that last episode? It's like Feige completely forgot that he already lampooned this shit in She-Hulk. The Marvels looks like a cartoon, and I don't mean that in a good way,

I'm pulling for a miracle for Strays, but TMNT probably. -
Older Millennials too.

Probably the biggest example yet of Nolan's drawing power. Really wonder what Tenet would've done in a normal climate.

Why the hell would theaters take PLFs from Barbie? -
Hope so. I'm kinda tired of the A24s of the world winning Best Picture every year. Let's give a blockbuster epic the big prize. Subtlety is overrated anyways.

I think Scorsese has the same draw with the right material. The Aviator, Departed, Shutter Island, and Wolf of Wall Street all made over 100 mil domestic. Then again, that could just be Leo alone drawing people.

Oppenheimer being a Nolan film doesn't discount it from the discussion. What we're looking for is audiences flocking to movies for reasons other than IP franchising. Doesn't matter if that reason is a movie star or a famous director
