  1. its a movie for cinephiles, not general audiences. Not a criticism, just an observation. (Or to recycle a recent talking point about other films, maybe if it was better it would’ve done better? Nah that’s silly.)
  2. Im kinda surprised tbh. Some will make it worse than it really is, but heck the first Thor got a B+. It’ll be ok.
  3. If anybody has a problem with the innocuous thing I said, it’s probably more to do with said person. Notice I didn’t say anything about TSS.
  4. A reminder: people (especially franchise war soldiers) will use incredible mental gymnastics for something they liked (or hated) that isn’t exactly consistent with other things. I mean people wanting to throw a parade for JC’s opening (considering its budget) was a through the looking glass moment for me.
  5. In theory? Possible. In reality it would mean those two would have to settle on a % arrangement both are fine with and well the last time Sony/Disney had to do that regarding anything Spidey…well we Remember what a public mess that became.
  6. I mean they've already financially compensated talents and their backend deals. Have they committed to anything else this year after Dune though? I don't remember.
  7. I think of the new Space Jam, which I watched on Max (which as a subscriber, they already have my $15 something) but it's not something I would've bothered to watch in theaters.
  8. If it made enough money or considered enough of a success, a sequel would probably happen. It’s a business run on profit, not on IMDB scores. of course this goes into the problem with streaming: what is the metric for “success” on streaming? Box office it’s obviously easier Metric to digest but what is “profit” for streaming outside of scoring more/keeping subscribers? It’s a grey area.
  9. I wasn’t surprised. GvK as a spectacle screamed like something people had to see on the big screen. MK didn’t. this is why I squirm when people pimp streaming numbers, Max or PA. So much of that is lost dollars/views that would’ve gone into ticket buys.
  10. Interesting. I enjoyed BOP, but being focused wasn’t exactly one of its strengths.
  11. I'm biased because I wasn't that hot on JC having seen it, but let's hope that same director/star pairing does better on BA.
  12. OT but I'm reminded of Dredd, which should've spawned a whole cool (bloody) franchise. Sigh
  13. I like this long term thinking, which unfortunately hasn't historically been one of WB's strongest traits. But who knows? Maybe they've actually changed? I mean thing is regardless of what TSS and it's $185 million budget does, the Peacemaker show was shot and coming out on Max. It's in their interests to support that investment.
