  1. Release date moved up 4 days here in Indonesia.  
    Original date: 12 July (Wednesday, traditional release day for import film) 

    New date: 8 July (Saturday, not just previews but full opening day)

    Probably the first time ever for a tent pole to opening on Saturday here.

    If we don't see a dramatic increase in ticket sales, then I give up. Don't know what to say at that point. 

    Nah. Early screening reviews are highly positive and if the movie lives up to it then  pre-sales number doesn’t really matter. As we all know, MI is a naturally backloaded franchise. Presales aren everything and there’s no fanboy rush like CBM. The most important thing is it’s a great movie. Walk up and legs will be amazing. People will come over to watch it again

    I think reviews are gonna be mediocre, something in the 70RT. i believe there's been a screening last night in London and reactions are more muted than those at the premiere, many 3 stars and even 2 stars. I now think this will do Rogue Nation numbers in the US

    Of course it were. Cause there ain't no screening and ain't no people attending last night

    400!!!!!!!!

    This is incredibly low, i didn´t imagine there are so little number of cinemas in such big country.
    Maybe was forbidden for being an islamic country like Saudi Arabia?

    Indeed Indonesia is an Islamic country but with no Islamic laws (only one province use it). Indonesia uses regular laws like other non Muslim countries. Therefore any kind of entertainment is free and not restricted unless it contains LGBT or some other violence stuff.

     

    The main reason for the low cinema counts is the low income of Indonesian people. Many cinemas located only in big cities where middle or upper income people live. In the rural areas, cinemas is scarce. Many people still don’t choose cinema as their source of entertainment cause it’s not cheap. 
     

    But these days, Indonesia economy is growing rapidly and so does our box office (from MPAA report). So yeah cinemas future is looking bright and a number of cinemas is being built right now. So hopefully sometimes we can have decent numbers of it in comparison to our populations.

    I don't know if that checks out for the other regions, but theaters here in Brazil are starting to really struggle to handle all of these big movies releasing every week.

    Same in Indonesia. Whenever the new blockbuster releases, the old one loses more than half of its showtimes. Guaranteed to drop in 60% area. The only thing that can make the drop softer is if the new blockbusters flop and can’t fill their showtimes then the old one will get some back therefore softening its drop.

     

    Cinema infrastructure is the problem here. A country about 250 million people but only have around 400 theatres with maximum around 7000 showtimes. So yeah, can’t meet the screen demands of blockbusters releasing every week.

    Also, did there used to be many more users on BOT because there is no world I can see a weekend thread reaching 1000 pages from the time I've spent on here since April?

    The good ol days of BOT. Every weekend thread almost always reached thousands of posts. Even for a boring opening one. But everything changed since the pandemic…

    Immediately following the screening, an executive from a competing studio gave The Flash backhanded compliments as a corrective to the commercial underperformance of the DCEU’s most recent entries: October’s Black Adam and the franchise-killing Shazam! Fury of the Gods. “Audiences want nostalgia, and they want feel-good. Execution is less important,” this exec said. “The Flash is like Spider-Man: No Way Home in that it has the right amount of nostalgia, which the fans love, and the right amount of feel-good. This is DC righting the ship.”

     


    Kevin Feige tricked WB execs into thinking they got an all timer DC Movie which pushed them to market it as such only to backfired later and create mayhem in WB office.

  8. The authority said that the movie “contradicts the content controls in force,” and added that unless parts of the movie’s scenes were amended, it would not play in theaters locally.

     

    “Out of our keenness on the safety of the content shown in cinemas, and our responsibility towards the viewers, we would like to point out that we will not permit or license any film that contradicts the content controls in force in the media system… and its implementing regulations, unless the production companies commit to implementing the required amendments,” the social media statement said.

    Found this another article that stated the reasons. Don’t quite understand sadly whatever that means…

  9. DCEU is cursed for real.
    Out of 12 movies so far (before Flash). Only 3 movies managed to become super hits: Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Suicide Squad.

    MOS was a success but not a *big* success. Same goes to BvS which was a disappointment relative to expectations both financially and critically.

    Shazam was doing great and financially successful but not a big hit.

    JL flopped and so did the last 5 DCEU films in a row (BOP, WW84,TSS,BA and Shazam 2).

     

    With Flash looking to disappoint also, Blue Beetle looking more like a miss than hit and Aquaman 2 looking not too bright. 


    Meanwhile 2 standalone DC movies that wasn’t part of the DCEU (The Batman and Joker) had a great success both critically and financially.

     

    So I think it’s a Great Idea for WB to dump DCEU and begin a new start through DCU and hopefully making many more stand-alone DC movies again in the future.

    When will we know if Flash turns on the gas and starts to kick ass?

    We might never know cause it never will... 

     

    3 days left and it needs to take off asap. It should be doing that when the reviews dropped but never did until now. Slim chance it would accelerate drastically against other comps in these last days. Maybe today is the day cause the premiere bump. But who knows...

    Transformers ROTB was just okay. Mediocre really.

     

    People can heap praise on it and bumblebee and bash Bay all they want, but the action sequences by Bay are just on another planet than these other 2 films.

     

    The first Transformers is from 2007 and I recently rewatched and it still has better CG and set pieces than this.

     

    End of the day these are movies about alien robots smashing into eachother to sell toys. The spectacle is the only selling point. Not the human drama.

     

    They need another action director to take over.

    We all know that majority of the audiences saw Transformers for the action spectacles not for cringe human drama
