  1. there's a conspiracy theory that Jackson directed this but was so embarrassed he paid his SFX guy to feature as the director.
  2. OK, is there going to be anyone left to see aquaman opening weekend cause I keep hearing it's been screened and screened and screened so that leaves me, my fam and ??? Are we enough for 60-70M OW?
  3. This is important. we sometimes forget that people don't need masterpieces and perfection but solid entertainment, which is why it happens that many movies with lower RT/MC become bigger hits than movies with insane critical acclaim. Panned Venom and middling reviewed BR soared while over-praised Widows sunk, for example.
  4. this. so it's either general disinterest in those movies or time of the year. though I tend to be cautious about time of the year/legs will follow type of situation assessment cause it backfired in the past. We'll see. MPR should be huge, no?
  5. not really if China's gonna give Spiderverse a Coco/RPO treatment.
  6. they are successful in their own right but Venom, BR and Spiderverse are underdogs compared to mighty MCU post-IW and a proof that there's success outside of Disney (though BR now belongs to them dammit ). Monopoly is boring. That's all that is. And everyone roots for the underdog. And upsets are fun. There's no malice.
  7. Bumblebee is legging super behind Aqua Poppins. China to the rescue again.
  8. Freddie Mercury proved to be a bigger worldwide hit than Dr Strange, Ant Man and the Wasp so he earned his right to be a superhero. P.S. His name sounds like a SH name so...
  9. LMAO! Poor AM&TW can't catch a break! First Venom then BR completely crushed in OS and now a cartoon Spiderman thanks to China breakout. I love Ant Man but this would be so hilarious so I kind of want it to happen.
  10. Venom's gonna break sales records. Nothing can stop him. @fabiopazzo2 Except Real Best Actor performance that should have won all awards but won't be even nominated save for MTV crap if even for that.
  11. I neither read that into your comment nor I'm overly dramatic. I'm just saying that she knew she was signing up for a thankless role so no point lamenting the waste of talent. Actors do paycheck movies all the time. Didn't Michelle Williams say she did Venom for money?
  12. McAdams didn't have to accept the role. It wasn't Rebecca Hall situation where she signed up to play the main villain and then the role was reduced to whatever.
  13. Oy vey! that didn't work for the last POTC either. Though FB being a mess that even fans couldn't follow is what killed it. Scott Clickbaitsohn was right for once, that it was a frnachise killer.
  14. this is the take we who predict boxoffice often forget when it comes to uber-nerdy stuff. Fam isn't wired for it so they need different approach than fans to get interested. It's like how CW airport did not play well with normies at all, while nerds predicted 2B off hearing about who fights whom.
  15. AMATW was always a possibility. It's now clear that it'll remain MCU's smallest franchise til Eternals and I don't think that characters presence in Endgame will boost the third movie if they make it. It's too positioned as palate cleanser and those never make event movie money. FB2 is a shock however. They brought Dumbledore to get 1B and now Freddie mercury clobbered him.
