    The Top 100 Most Critically Acclaimed Films of CAYOM 3.0 [Up Until Y9] According to Metacritic

    in Create A Year Of Movies (CAYOM)

    Posted · Edited by MCKillswitch123

    These are ranked in order of (these function as tie-breakers; when there's no tie-breaker, films are grouped together):

    1. their Metacritic score;
    2. the amount of positive, mixed or negative reviews they have (positive mixed swings in favor of a film; negative swings against a film; and mixed can go either way);
    3. the amount of reviews that were written about them;
    4. alphabetical order (though, as mentioned, films that are ranked lower for alphabetical order are pretty much in the same position as the ones that are tied in the other tie-breakers).

    67M???? Don’t set yourself up for deception…

     

    Moster-Verse is a declining franchise, Monster-Verse movies are declining every new instalment they release.

     

    2014 200M
    2016 160M
    2019 110M

    2021 100M

     

    However, WB will release it during Easter break long weekend (Friday to Monday), when ~68% of schools will be closed this year. This may help it to surpass the previous 48M OW.

     

    So currently I’d say 50-55M is more realistic.


    Monster-verse movies aren’t a big deal in the US. International market is the reason why Legendary carries on producing these movies. And it seems it’ll do pretty well in China.



     

     

     

     

    Lmfao, are you seriously using day-and-date, pandemic-stricken Godzilla vs. Kong, the first movie post-COVID to make $100m domestic, as an example of the franchise being in diminishing returns?

     

    I'm willing to bet physical money that the New Empire film beats it DOM.

    Despite the success of Y9's Invader Zim, Phoenix Fire Group announces today that its family animation arm, Phoenix Fire Family Animation, is merging with the alternative animated studio, Phoenix Fire Artstyles, to become a single Artstyles studio. Every Family Animation employee will continue to work in Artstyles, focusing on the studio's CGI-animated output.

     

    Phoenix Fire was moved to do this mainly because of a number of reasons: Y10's LittleBigPlanet is expected to be both a financial and critical disappointment for the Family Animation studio, potentially a box office failure considering its $120 million budget; Phoenix Fire is interested in the idea of mainstream and non-mainstream animation sold by the same brand, slowly conditioning audiences to expect quality for all audiences (inspired by cases such as Sony Pictures Animation, Endless Animation and Cookie Pictures Animation); and the success (critical and commercial) of Artstyles films like the Vixen series, The Quest for Buster's Bones and the Tatiana franchise, the latter featuring the highest grossing Phoenix Fire film, Mighty Fall, with the Y10 sequel, Tatiana's Journey, expected to also be successful. And while the Artstyles label has also had its flops, such as Y8's Dave-Day and Dreams, and Y9's Whinge & Cringe, the creatives at Phoenix Fire believe that the brand has garnered a substantial fandom at this point.

     

    Y11 is predicted to have at least two family-oriented entries, both originally set to be released by PFFA: the LGBT-themed Dualheart, directed by Lauren Faust (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) and Steven Clay Hunter (the Pixar short Out); and the Halloween-themed The Spiritual Specialists, directed by Kristen Lester (Purl, Zimmer Pictures' Smile) based on a Laura Pamenter short story. More may be to come, including an experimental sequel to LittleBigPlanet utilizing the actual video game's in-built level designer to create a film then to be shown in theaters.

    Phoenix Fire Pictures is proud to announce that it's going all-in on its partnership with The New Yorker Studios, with whom it has already produced some of its Y10 pictures - Christina Choe's The Enormous Radio, based on John Cheever's short story; and Sarah Polley's The Lottery, an adaptation of the historic Shirley Jackson work.

     

    Coming soon, some of the films we have in store:

    • Ryusuke Hamaguchi's Town of Cats, based on Haruki Murakami's story, to come in Y11;
    • also in Y11, David Fincher makes his return to CAYOM with The Catbird Seat, inspired by James Thurber's story;
    • currently set for Y12, with a yet unannounced director, Hiroshima, the adaptation of the famous New Yorker publication entirely dedicated to John Hersey's year-later article on the atomic bomb dropped in Hiroshima, then turned into a book;
    • with no current date (though they may be fast-tracked for the near future), adaptations of George Saunders' sci-fi story Offloading for Mrs. Schwartz, and Joyce Carol Oates' flash fiction work Where Are You?.
