YM!

I’ve known people to lie about it too but that said it’s a very small minority of cases. Still I’d rather side with a potential liar before a potential abuser.

You missed a key difference between him and those examples also throwing Casey Affleck and Ezra Miller in the mix too. Or hell, even Will Smith and Brad Pitt. You can get away with it if you’re white, not so such much if you’re black.

I could give a shit about recasting rn, I am concerned about the victim and Major’s girlfriend.

Why such low legs for Elemental? If it does 45 and is good, I can't see under 135m.

I think Elemental has a ceiling of 50M OW, Hard Feelings I think it can do 20-25M OW so probably Hard Feelings.

I mean, those will be likely shown as every time a trailer is rated, a mix is made for movies at the theaters but attachments are mandated with film. Like how most major studios show 1-2 trailers at the end of the movie they're distributing. Like Avatar: The Way of Water had some mix of Quantumania, Indy, Elemental and Guardians attached near the end. Sometimes for big films or every now then, a studio will attach 3.

https://www.alberta.ca/recently-rated-trailers.aspx The name changed back to Migration, trailer imminent with Mario at 1:50

Hmmm both Migration and Trolls 3 trailers have been rated. Guessing both will be attached to Mario, so we are getting another 3 trailer attachment (Kraken, Trolls, Migration).

I feel Gillman would've thrived in a mid September spot and had time to build a strong marketing campaign.

Agreed. It may not have been able to replicate Pixar’s biggest but could've easily pulled 150m+ domestic. Everything else that year flopped because they were too kiddy (Lyle), looked like it's been done before (Super Pets), or had streaming ruin the brand or just being shit movies (Lightyear and Strange World). Puss 2 just did a 180m+/480m run a few months ago. Yes it was great and one could argue nostalgia helped but you don't get that big without kids connecting to it. The biggest mistake Chapek did was sending the Pixar stuff to the Plus because it fucked over both brands by training families to wait for plus. I think Elemental and Wish if very great can turn it around in time for 2024.

I agree. DM is proving to be fatigue proof unlike Ice Age. I was just speaking personally in only DM1 and Gru being good.

I think poor exchange rates was more at the fault rather than families not being interested. Pre-pandemic, I thought this would've been the Ice Age 5 of this franchise especially because of how bad DM3 was. The fact that it increased domestically and had a slight fall worldwide is impressive. With Mario looking to breakout, TLM should at least do great business domestic, SpiderVerse likely to make good numbers and a stronger plethora of family films, I think 2023 can be a strong rebound. Though mainly franchise sequels (and has arguably the same purpose as it's PG-13 counterparts), this March has shown the adult audience are coming back despite TGM and to an extent The Lost City were as exceptions as the only big hits. Honestly, I think the TikTok stuff helped but not as much as we like to think. Also it being the first tolerable DM movie since the first and just being fun. The OW percentage from children/adults was about the same as any other Pixar/Disney sequel in that while adults/teen ratio was bigger than other animation, families were the main drivers.

2/5 isn't a good look for being assured a franchise is good.

And those three in my opinion are all better shows than Loki, although I am not really crazy about any of them as MCU shows (like around a 3-3.5/5) mostly have had the same problem: making most of them six hour movies or abandoning more interesting elements to make it more at place with the MCU.

It's Illumination. It can be shit like 3/4 of their library and do well so long as the GA likes it.

I kind of like this idea but this would involve The Rock putting aside his ego to lose against Superman.

On the bright side next February-March looks packed kids film wise (Toto, Elio, KFP4, Snow White and SpiderVerse).

Don’t get it twisted I never said that. This movie looks mostly like ass.

Yeah, not denying Victoria wasn't part of the problem she was the one in charges for visuals but both she and Feige were co-approving things. There's no way Feige wouldn't be aware or in some cases due to the power he has, it's plausible he was in on it too.

Is Mario going to be the new Shrek 2?

Put me down at 155/400/825 (OW/DOM/WW). Higher than both Guardians domestically but below 2 WW. Solid result but not feeling too confident in over 2, or 900m-1B for it.

Have you not heard about bots or just pretending they don’t exist on purpose. Because it’s very fucking hard in the first place to get over 1M likes/dislikes in under 10M views without bots

Dude, I despise these remakes more than anyone. The only reason I’d check this out is because I like Halle. However, it is clear that the mass dislike video bombing is largely based on racism as the general audience usually eats this nostalgia-pandering slop up with a smile. Also mass-dislike video bombing seems like a not good parameter of judging the film’s box office success especially when it probably was going to get this scrutiny from the get-go (Captain Marvel comes to mind for instance).
