Guys, WB has a long term plan. Let me share it with you. It's brilliant.
Burn DC to the ground. Make it so toxic that the very name makes people vomit. Stay in the wilderness till 2035. Make peace with Nolan. Have him bring Bale back as Bruce Wayne and do a Batman Beyond movie. Have that be the basis for the new DCU. Profit!
To be honest they really should do this. We have time to convince Nolan. Bale is still relatively young.

DnD finally getting to 100M.
TLM finally getting to 300M.
I am joking, neither will get there.
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.

Yeah I chuckled at that. No Hard Feelings was the epitome of a destined flop. The studio paying Lawrence a ridiculous amount for it had nothing to do with it being appealing, that’s part of why they were so stupid.
Some comedy will do well again obviously. We’re not even far removed from The Lost City which hit 100. And then obviously there’s Barbie, but I know that’s a bit different than the kind of comedy we’re talking about.
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.

My idea obviously depends on reviews. If it is decent enough, I think it could have had a similar run to Cocaine Bear in February. They did nothing for it in its current date. The actors can't promote it. There are no viral stunts. Nothing.
No comedy will ever do 100M again. I am quite certain of it after No Hard Feelings only did 50M. The best we can hope for is something like Cocaine Bear.
That's just silly. No Hard Feelings wasn't that great

What is it with paramount this year despite the fact that the reviews are really strong for their movies people just aren’t showing up for some reason
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.

this had better be a trashy B-movie. The first one promised to be that and turned out to be a normal action film taking itself too seriously.
Unfortunately mainstream audiences typically don't sign on for that unless it goes viral (like Megan).

I believe a certain Steven Spielberg movie showed that better than anyone could've imagined and is still the definitive war movie.
True, but an entire movie about it?

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

I want Nolan to do one more movie with a WW2 time period. It would be a sort of WW2 trilogy for him.
D-Day.

He's made two of them.

People moved beyond the dystopian YA craze a solid decade ago, and it feels less popular since the pandemic especially. Not to mention people were already kind of over it with this franchise by the time the grand finale hit. This has nothing whatsoever going for it. If can be a WOM sleeper if people end up raving about it, but even then I don’t expect over 125 or so bc the OW will be dismal imo.
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.

I don't get the need a lot of people have to eat something during a movie. And they always add that on to the costs like it's a requirement to buy popcorn and soda.
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,

What is the next 100 million grossing movie? Unless Haunted Mansion is critic proof not happening. Nothing in August is a lock. Equalizer 3 maybe. The first 2 did but it appeals to the old male audience who are not terribly reliable right now.
I'm pulling for a miracle for Strays, but TMNT probably.

Nolan has a chokehold over young millenials and older gen z, but high quality high profile military films tend to do quite well. Barbenheimer absolutely helped here as well.
I am telling everyone - Nolan + PEARL HARBOR or D-DAY = $$$$
Older Millennials too.

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

Its not bad. But for a movie taking away PLF screens from Barbie, its a huge downer. I am seeing somewhere in low 3s for just thursday and around 350K for wednesday(if its just MTC1). Based on thu/fri ratio I am not seeing a huge multi for sure.
Anyway I dont have anything like daily pace and so I could be off.
Why the hell would theaters take PLFs from Barbie?

The movie’s length did not seem to pose a problem almost certainly because of the pacing of the film and the viewer investment in that last hour. It truly does feel more like a two hour movie than a three hour movie.
There was even a smattering of applause afterwards and audiences never, ever clap in my area. There’s just so much to love about the film and because she is not being mentioned enough, Blunt was incredible. The film is winning so much Oscar gold.
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.

Of course it doesn't but no other director over the last decade is Nolan with original stuff. He's the anomaly. It's compliment him. Only other would be Peele but he's not Nolan in terms bankability.
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.

Meh. One's a ridiculously big IP that's super meme friendly and the other is Christopher Nolan (proven huge name that's done plenty of original huge movies already) atomic bomb movie will an absolutely insane cast. Jordan Peele is a much better example of what you're getting at.
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

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.
