The final trailer is today at 5/4 PM on a Nintendo Direct so I imagine tickets on sale after the trailer on Nintendo Direct.

Curious to see the 3D and PLF portions for this. Imagine if Mario is the Alice in Wonderland with the 3D burst driving it to big grosses again after Avatar: The Way of Water (though obviously not on the same level)

I know but which Marcus theaters. Cause usually I think Menominee or North Shore as those are the only one I can think of near Milwaukee.

Out of curiosity which theaters do you use for Milwaukee Metro? Menomonee and AMC Mayfair?

Mario is going all out at my local theater. It’s the first time I’ve seen a movie start at 10:30 am in years and a big 3D/2D split for PLF moreso than any other tentpole, even Avatar. 12:30/5:00/10:00 for 3D, 2:30 and 7:00 for 2D

The opening is not the problem. The problem is that the multiple is probably going under BvS as the worst for a 100m+ opener and it’s going to finish as the lowest grossing Ant Man movie WW, barely scrapping by 500m WW if lucky.

I’m also thinking 30 too.

Bebop.

Trailer tomorrow, with Cast revealed. Nicholas Cantu, Brady Noon, Shamon Brown Jr and Micah Abbey voice the turtles, Jackie Chan is Splinter.

I think Wish will break out. Seems like a return to form in a big Disney musical, with a unique animation style. If it does well, it’ll put Disney Animation and Pixar back on track. Going to go with 35/180 for now. Trolls should move to 11/3 though.

Quantumania should do 200m. There should be a lot more this year. 200-299m candidates include John Wick, Mario, Across, The Flash, Mission Impossible, 2une, The Marvels, Songbirds and Snakes, Wish, and Wonka. Barbie, Migration, Haunted Mansion, and Elemental have outside shots with luck.

Creed 3 with that knockout OW. Has a great chance at $150m+, maybe even $175m+. Could be a great March with Scream looking to also open 50m+ and Wick having a great chance at 70m+. Shazam may underperform but 30m+ seems likely. The only question mark is Dungeons. It is also great to see mid-budget movies even if it is an IP sequel rebound. Have a gut feeling 2023 will be more like 2017-19 for non tentpoles rather than the past two years. Now if we can get some animation success in Mario, the industry can have a nice rebound.

The rumor was more in regards to what Cosmic Circus said but yeah it’s already delayed so it doesn’t make sense.

Ik, I just like theorizing lol.

I am bored, let me theorize schedule: Movies: Guardians 3 - 5/5/2023 The Marvels - 11/3/2023 or if it’s get delayed like the rumor said Christmas 2023 with the aim of bullying Aquaman away. Secret Invasion, Loki and What IF S2 are the shows. New World Order - 5/3/2024 Thunderbolts - 8/2/2024 Deadpool 3 - 11/8/2024 Echo, Agatha and X-Men 97 are the shows Blade - 2/11/2025 Fantastic 4 - 5/2/2025 Spider-Man 4 - 7/18/2025 Shang-Chi 2 - 11/7/2025 Daredevil, Wonder-Man and Marvel Zombies are the shows Armor Wars - 2/10/2026 Doctor Strange 3 - 5/1/2026 Eternals 2 - 11/6/2026 Black Panther 3 - 2/16/2027 Avengers: The Kang Dynasty - 5/7/2027 Untitled movie - 11/5/2027 Avengers: Secret Wars - 5/5/2028

It’s also a damn good kids movie. Best film of the year.

Is 200m even happening anymore for AMQ?

I feel bad for Loveness. I don’t like the majority of his work, in fact it’s a large reason of many of why I have no interest in Quantumania. It’s very hard to write a movie. That said, I think going directly into tentpole writing isn’t a good idea for green writers. Start with like a comedy or low level sci-fi then go onto the biggies because you can at least learn from them. Marcus/McFreely may have wrote The Dark World but they did a handful of movies before hand. Hopefully with Cretton on board to write, he can help Loveness and Loveness learns from the experience and I’m glad he’s taking it in stride. What I hope he doesn’t do is completely ignore any criticism like the article implied because it’s not a good way to grow as a writer.

I think Condon will probably take the win from both for the Oscars.

@cayommagazine Infinite Studios has bought a pitch for a horror movie written by Akela Cooper (M3GAN, Malignant) and Quinta Brunson (Abbott Elementary, the upcoming Bodies of Interest), and directed by Nia DeCosta (Heartman, Candyman) titled Wig Out. The film is said to be a fun horror satire about the relationship between black women and their hair and hair discrimination. The film is being fast tracked for a Y10 release with word has it, looking to replace Crunch Time.

I mean personally I'm thinking more 170m to Fantastic Beasts numbers as Zegler isn't a big draw like Lawrence but as a 2000s kid, the YA film craze was huge back in the day and it caters to an underserved demographic with the book doing solid in sales. I mean did anyone see Maverick doing 700m prior to release let alone 400m?
