The Box Office Buzz, Tracking, and Pre-Sale Thread
expensiveho replied to Shawn Robbins's topic in Box Office Discussion
This is so important. If taking down Endgame becomes an actual possibility and gets media coverage... her fans will 100% sure she takes it. I'd say she's on track to do 150m, but if the hype gets big enough for +250m... -
BARBIE | 809.4M overseas | 1445.6M worldwide
expensiveho replied to kayumanggi's topic in International Box Office
Broke Endgame's OD record in Colombia. -
Launching the DC universe with yet another Superman is risky tbh. Society isn't too hot on the whole "hopeful and perfect superhero" and after DC itself butchered "Dark" Superman (+ The Boys / Invincible nailing it)... what's left for them to do? If there's someone that can pull it off it's Gunn, but it doesn't sound like they're reading the room.

THE SUPER MARIO BROS MOVIE WEEKEND THREAD
expensiveho replied to Eric Atreides's topic in Numbers and Data
Current Pokemon generations are not accessible and not really mainstream anymore. A "classic" Pokemon movie with Ash/Pikachu and the main story could do similar numbers to these. Pokemon fans might be harder to please so that's another big difference. -
This should be Marvel's top priority. By far. Wakanda Forever is the only film that has looked decent in so long. How do they plan on keep getting the "big screen spectacle" money if these movies end up looking a cheap (!) Spy Kids? (+ we all know audiences would be more forgiving overall)

I disagree, not everyone is a bigot towards the same people. For example, Black guys (or girls, self-hate happens in every community) can be misogynistic and most likely wouldn't have any problem with the previous movie. Then we have the closet cases disguising themselves as comic-book purists. People find weird ways to justify their hatred. I truly hope this discourse around every movie stops soon because it's exhausting.

People are vastly overestimating how much people actually care about the Letitia controversy. We do know that a certain corner of the internet will meltdown over a female BP so I see why they would want to avoid having 2 shitstorms at the same time, though. Beyond all that, Lupita would still be a better choice so I hope it's her.

With the Todd/Bradley connection and seeing how fast this was announced I'd say she was the first choice (wouldn't rule out it was written with her in mind, it's a musical after all). Now... it being a musical titled after a psychiatric term starring Gaga as Harley Quinn sounds like an origin story.

This is the Marvel's main problem currently but it's what's going to save them long-term, which is probably what happened with comics. The MCU is making films for different audiences ("Grounded", Cosmic, Magic, etc), but Marvel is just too popular and interconnected (now) for anyone to miss anything. Eternals is good but there's a certain demographic that loves it, I absolutely adore MoM but I can see why general audiences wouldn't like it as much. Same with the D+ shows. But there's "always" going to be a Marvel property that is a must-see for an audience, a new Marvel franchise to check out and a big massive event for everyone.

I do wanna know what were the pre-release expectations were because I avoided basically everything except the main teaser/trailer/poster and it does feel like it has a lot of cameos and sets up +10 Marvel properties. If anything, my main criticism about the movie is that it feels a bit too Ultron-ish in that sense. But I have also seen an overwhelmingly positive reaction from the Wanda stans so who knows. I'd totally love a WandaVision 2nd season exploring the aftermath for that Wanda (which could be a soft reboot, explore the Magneto relationship and evil Wanda can return for whatever massive crossover event this is clearly leading up to)

The Disney Thread | Iger will be with us until 2026
expensiveho replied to A Marvel Fanboy's topic in Box Office Discussion
There seems to be a lot of people completely disconnected from reality in this thread. Imagine thinking that the same company that looks the other way on a country committing genocide just so they can keep profiting from crimes against humanity is going to "punish" Florida over a bill prohibiting teaching kids about genders and sexual orientation. Still hilarious how the press baited Disney into this mess, though. -
US Albums 1. Encanto (2 weeks at #1) (first Disney soundtrack since Frozen to spend more than 1 week at #1) US Songs 2. We Dont Talk About Bruno (second highest peaking song from a Disney soundtrack) 10. Surface Pressure (first time a Disney soundtrack has 2 songs in the Top10) The soundtrack's success is insane.
