Lincoln was a very successful and well received movie. It was by no means a divisive entry from Spielberg.
In my top 2 of that year. The script is towering.

Makes me wonder if Disney isn't marketing it because they're just waiting for the streaming release. Pretty crazy how much money they're willing to waste in the hopes that at SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE they'll make a profit off of streaming.

I see both making bank relative to their genres. Oppenheimer opens to 30-35 mil and Barbie to 50 mil.

The crap digital cinematography is a much bigger problem than the CGI.
True. And the two go hand in hand.
-
I'm just surprised that Feige keeps allowing the CGi problem to continue, even after all of the criticism and even given how important this movie is to them.

Hanks is the best part though?
You high?

Great movie, would've been a top 10 of the year type movie if not for Hanks' casting/performance.

Looks better than Old. M. Night had been on a run until that movie.

It's a perfectly fine movie. I'm sure it would be fresh (like 65-70%) on RT if Olivia image wasn't so bad right now.
I would rate it a 3/5. It's consistently entertaining, always keeps you guessing, Miss Flo is superb, cinematography / OST is excellent, and Olivia is a good director, she really knows how to create an atmosphere, the whole thing is freaky and very interesting visually, really cool ideas all around.
The script is awful tho, very underveloped and the whole cast besides Florence is bad. Some more rewrites and a better casting and it would be a great movie.
This right here is why the bad reviews. Critics in 2022 review the script, they don't review the movie.
Not that I'm rooting for Wilde. She fucked over Sudekis so whatever with her.
-
Wilde is the new Heard I guess. They both suck.

Idiotic decision, just utterly stupid. Even if it’s “bad”, they’re still shaving box office off it by doing this. By all means drop it on Peacock on November 1st when it’d drop like a stone anyway, but day and date is just so dumb.
Right? They can still get subs if they drop it 2 weeks later.

😂 it’s easy money though. I think it would’ve been guaranteed to increase from Kills despite the reception.
That’s just not true lol
The last one sucked, but absolutely agree. If you imply it's the "end" that gets butts in seats. Unbelievably stupid choice here.

Assuming Zaslav scrapped Batgirl specifically because it was going to be an HBO Max exclusive, and he doesn’t care for HBO Max, then I would assume this movie should be safe. Maybe that’s just wishful thinking, but whatever.
The move to theatrical for this was made by the new regime.

Other than cancelling the 'Batgirl' movie that nobody wanted.. what's the fuss about?
It's a lot of Film Twitter people and blue checks being complete hypocrites, and getting silly paranoid that HBO is somehow going to go away

The Flash is clearly a movie that needs to be released Ezra Miller controversy be damned, so I laughed my ass of when he was talking about we have to protect the legacy of DC and it's characters. Yeah and the way to do that is have a psychopath who is literally running from police as we speak as the titular character of the film and promotion for the film.
Sounds like a smart move.
It's simple. Nobody cares about celebrity gossip and crimes/misbehaving, unless they're a huge star like Will Smith. Most folks probably don't even know. WB knows this.

Why does it need to move to HBO proper? Why can’t it stay where it is? It’s not 2007 anymore. Cable is a relic.
Just because MAX originals go away doesn't mean there won't be an HBO MAX or a HBO streaming service left afterward.

The superhero genre will only die if the MCU stops making money. Phase Four has been pretty shaky to say the least, but Marvel still has more goodwill than most other franchises.
As for DC, yeah, they’re probably boned. Nothing except for that dumb Joker sequel seems like a certainty right now, but I guess we’ll have to see what happens tomorrow.
That Joker sequel sounds like the right kind of crazy.

No it doesn't.
It means they'll just roll those shows over to HBO management and branding. Instead of having 2 brands and 2 operations pumping out similar stuff.
Where are people getting these notions of mass cancellations? Pretty Little Liars isn't getting canned because it doesn't fit the HBO brand.
Half the posts on this topic are ridiculous at this point.
Agreed.
The only thing WB is doing wrong here is not letting Batgirl (and I suppose Scoob 2) see the light of day, which is awful for the creatives who worked on them.
Everything else? Needed to be done. HBO needed streamlining, and the DC universe needed trimming.
With Alan Horn involved and a bigger focus on theatrical, I'm sensing good things ahead.

He married JLo. It's all good now.

If it had been the same film that was rleased, WW84 would had underperformed at the box office covid or no covid. It simply was nowhere near as good as WW. It might have done Ten ot Twenty Million more, but still would have been a big bon office dissapointment for WB. No getting around that.
What??

Black Panther most certainly did not sell 76m tickets.
It probably hit around 60m-65m max with IMAX, Dolby, and inflation.
Isn't it funny that the biggest movies in the world still only get less than half the country's population to see it in theaters?
-
This trailer has made me go from predicting 500 mil tops to possibly challenging the first film's gross.

Lupita is going to be BP. As of its OW, how high can it get? I expect it to be huge, I'd say 220-230m atm
Lupita would be the right call given her talent, her career thus far, and well, everything with Wright gone wrong.

Why these people gets so pressed because they disagreed with the overall feeling so far?
Maybe reviews tomorrow will be indeed of people disappointed, who knows. But these insinuations that people who said they liked are lying is so petty.
Critics are often too hard on ambitious big swing movies.

Why compare the two? They have very little in common. Aladdin was trashed by critics (and deservedly so).
