Note that they said they won’t resurrect Iron Man. That means we’re likely getting an RDJ variant.

Good to see you back. We’ve decided to do a Part One/Part Two this year with film submission for Part One (January to June) closing Monday

Speed Demon Studio: Infinite Studios Release Date - 3/6/Y10 Genre: Thriller/Supervillain Director: David Yarovesky Rating: R Budget: $17m Runtime: 98 minutes Format: 2D and Dolby Cinema Theater Count: 3,455 Cast: Nicholas Cantu as Jason Michaels/Speed Demon Sofia Wylie as Saffi Nick Offerman as Steven Michaels Maya Rudolph as Diane Michaels Sarah Chalke as Professor Anderson Plot:

Think Kang Dynasty should still do 1B, feeling moreso around a combined 3B for KD+SW but doubt either will scratch Endgame, maybe not even IW. Something like 1.2/1.8 as it currently stands assuming reception rebounds.

I'm well aware of the effects of covid and the strikes affecting filming. What people are saying is that maybe including TV shows and increasing content in general (Ie from the get-go) maybe wasn't the best idea. Maybe that for the Multiverse saga, it might not have been viable (though covid and the strikes did have an effect) to double if not triple the amount of films and shows for the general audience and could've just focused on a main group for the saga to be about. Yes, COVID and the strikes were indeed factors as I remember the initial Phase 4 slate back in 2019. However, they were still planning at least 7 (8 if NWH was likely 7/17/21) projects for 2021 anyways and the plan for TV shows was always to treat them not like TV shows and for them to function creatively like MCU movies. Though who knows maybe they fire on all cylinders for the rest of the saga and all this talk becomes moot in like three to four years. Personally, I think they should just truck along to Secret Wars and go from there but I do also think maybe this mess wouldn't have spiraled so out of control, if Marvel (again this is implying a completely difference route after Endgame) decided to focus on a certain set of characters.

It's a box office forum. We got some idea on the top of the head. People didn't need to see footage for Avengers to predict, we do this for movies all the time not just for Marvel movies but movies in general. I'm just curious on predictions. You can predict Deadpool and Cap though.

Full stop. What are your expectations for the 2024-2025 slate? Yes I know it's early but throwing some shot in the dark numbers, what are your expectations if reception is good, mediocre or bad? For me: DOM/WW Deadpool 3: 280-650/370-800/450-950 Cap 4: 115-250/175-380/250-550 F4: 150-350/200-450/280-650 Thunderbolts: 90-200/140-300/200-500 Blade: 90-250/140-300/200-450 No, Cap 4 wouldn't be guaranteed 1B if Sam had a cameo in Eternals, but I'd be way more confident in The Winter Soldier numbers if Sam had an Avengers movie to debut in. Again, it's moreso that the GA needs the main characters for the story. Cap 1 to Cap 2 and TFATWS and BNW has about the same wait time (3 years) but there was 3 projects in-between (one of which Steve had a main role), whereas Sam has currently 25 projects in-between his next debut.

Turning Red, Luca and Soul should've been theatrical in the first place. Think Elemental does 200/600 in a world where those three went theatrical.

If that 11-15M range is true for Migration, and is more Ferdinand than Puss 2, then maybe original animation is dead as a whole.

From that interview, I think it's clear Iger was the one to throw DeCosta under the bus.

Yeah we ain't ever seeing another PoC lead from any Disney affiliates again and the quality will be the exact same, and some of yall goobers in here will clap like seals. Love how they took that, instead of Iger’s tentpole-only based model was fundamentally flawed, sped up by both Disney+ and Iger, the fact that the only label with any creative momentum is Pixar and was sabotaged by Iger’s Plus greed and the problems were most of the movies suck because of executive oversight.

I want you to use common sense: when has Disney ever had an openly LGBTQ lead in their movies? I can literally count it with using my thumbs.

Ironically for me it's the opposite, might be the first MCU show I watched since 2022.

Because both are also megasequels but had no Plus to siphon away event status.

Migration is now too kiddy for the 13 year old cousin and he was far more excited for Blue Beetle than Aquaman and (we first saw that on Max last week) with Wonka being an “I guess”. Mom, who like our family is prime demographics for The Color Purple, is interested in Color Purple the most but not enough to see it theaters. Also musicals aren't her thing. Both my other cousin my age and uncle don't seem to care about anything. Though I think cousin 2 can be talked into Wonka.

Thinking range wise: Wonka: 120-350 (think there's a Jumanji potential but that depends on audience reception. Currently not a single movie excites my family this holiday) Migration: 100-250 (Illumination usurped Disney to second in biggest name for families due to the Plus taking away event status, but Wonka can eat into families and original animation hasn't been big since Coco and the only real winner as of late is Elemental and maybe (though it's based on a book) Bad Guys but it's also obvious KFP4 won't make March so we may not have a family film until Garfield) The Color Purple: 50-165 (think biggest potential due to an underserved demographic and presses are looking good but Keyser mentioning Ali hit too close to home) Aquaman 2: 90-165 (think it should do more than Marvels due to a barren calendar and the former three skew more female than male give it a usualable niche even if it's mediocre and superhero fatigue. Not enough to save it but enough to save some face.)

Though 150m would be great for Migration, do think that maybe original animation might just be harder to sell post covid. Elemental was a good start in the right step as it was biggest sense Coco at around 150/495 (also proves to me that Lightyear did due to being shit and if Soul/Luca/TR went theatrical - they'd do about the same if not more), but Wish fumbled the ball badly but I blame shit quality the most as presales were decent until reactions and reviews killed momentum. If the biggest name in animation this decade, can only do under Elemental despite it being a good result means that maybe family animation has become far more sink and swim than pre covid.

Ticket sales don't really matter for Wonka or Migration. The former can open to 20M and still do 200M if audience reception is good and the latter could even do 150M on a 12M OW. Those depend on audience reception.

Is there a unique ATP for Renaissance?
