  1. WW84 does have a new release day. Black Widow doesn't. And Disney might be in real financial crisis, hence they might need some big money quickly and not a year from now. If the world pandemic situation continues for a long time, Disney might consider to release Black Widow and Mulan online, considering that Onward is doing very well with its digital release. I still think that Black Widow will be released on theaters, but i don't rule out other possibilities.
  2. https://deadline.com/2020/03/coronavirus-poland-india-lebanon-kuwait-among-new-countries-close-cinemas-1202879447/ Several countries have closed their cinemas. Many other countries will follow. Eventually even Disney execs will understand they have to move this.
  3. Sure, let's just blame everything on sexism rather than personal taste and uninspired artistic choices.
  4. She's just the 12th performer in history to get double Oscar acting nominations in the same year, while she's the highest paid actress of the last few years... yeah, what a loser.
  5. Star Wars is failing in China for one main simple reason: no nostalgia factor. Chinese authorities allowed american movies only after 1994, so the original trilogy was not seen by the chinese public. The Force Awakens made $125 in China on purely hype alone. But after the hype was gone, and without any nostalgia to rely on, the rest of the Star Wars movies just crumbled at the box office, with Rise of Skywalker doing a measly $16 total.
  6. Just get the best people for the job, male or female. Announcing that more females executives are coming, without knowing their value, is just more pandering for the progressive crowd.
  7. https://www.goldderby.com/odds/combined-odds/oscars-nominations-2020/ She's at the second place in the predictions for best actress at goldderby.
  8. Why is Elizabeth Banks blaming men for this? Wasn't the target demographic for Charlie's Angels supposed to be young females?
  9. "Elizabeth Banks' vision of women-empowerment heaven plays more like a checklist of topics from the feminist discourse of the past few years than a coherent movie." https://slate.com/culture/2019/11/charlies-angels-2019-movie-reboot-kristen-stewart.html Review by Inkoo Kang, asian-american female, staff writer at Slate. Top critic on RT.
  10. Last year the trailer for Avengers Endgame was released on 7 december. The Black Widow movie wrapped up filming at the end of september, so they may need a bit more time to put up together the first trailer. Early december trailer would be just fine.
  11. This movie was going to flop no matter who was going to star in it. Terminator was a dead franchise but Hollywood can't help themselves, they suffer from a severe case of sequelitis. I guess it's easier to just remake old hits with the same movie plot and some new actors, and it's much harder to get creative and start new original franchises. And the bosses at Paramount (and the other studios) need a mental check for approving a nearly $200 million budget for this, after the last successful Terminator film was in 1991, almost three decades ago.
  12. That's a december release. And those always are very atypical, with rather small openings and huge legs for some. Look at Jumanji (2017) with $36 million opening weekend and $404 million total domestic gross. But not even a december release day could've saved Dark Fate from its dark fate.
  13. Yet, the movie is still flopping hard despite the great audience score, which proves that Rotten Tomatoes doesn't matter all that much when it comes to box office, as some people might think. And also dismisses the idea that just some 'trolls' can bring down the box office of a movie, as the media is suggesting when is looking for scapegoats.
  14. "Scarlett Johansson Says 'Black Widow' Movie Will Provide Closure" She says in this interview: "I don't know if I can take it anymore without closure. It's too exhausting." So she in implying this is her last time as the Black Widow. But it could be a misdirect. We'll have to wait and see.
  15. Those 'controversies', if there are any, will actually help the movie's box office. Just like the Joker who is a breaking hit now.
  16. Some people are exaggerating with this RDJ story. It will probably be just a few seconds cameo at the beginning of the movie with a deleted scene from Civil War, with Tony telling Natasha to run and that's it.
  17. LOL.. The media is to blame here. They are the ones who are trying to milk every ounce of ratings. Just like the Kardashians before, Trump is just exploiting this.
  18. That is just your opinion. You're not exactly the Supreme Court of Law, aren't you?... other people may have some other opinions and are free to express it, it's called freedom of speech. But if those opinions aren't matching yours, what gives you the right to try to cancel the persons who expressed those opinions? And how long until you may have an unpopular opinion too, and there will be calls to cancel you too?
  19. Why Scarlett should be cancelled? Because a small group of people with extremely heightened sensibility, living in their own twitter echo chambers, feel offended by some of her opinions? This "cancel culture" needs to stop, or else soon almost everyone will be "cancelled". Just grow up and man up, guys...
  20. There is a 2004 TV film made by the BBC called "Gunpowder, treason & plot", which is basically two movies. The first movie it's about the life of Mary, Queen of Scots, and tells the story from her perspective. The second one it's about her son, James, King of Scotland and England, and about the 1605 plot to blow up the Parliament. Both movies are very good, and i particularly liked the one about Mary, Queen of Scots.
  21. Exactly this. If a studio gives you 20m $ and you can't make the movie profitable, your big salary days are over.
  22. http://deadline.com/2018/03/jennifer-lawrence-red-sparrow-black-panther-death-wish-bruce-willis-box-office-1202308124/ 1.2m
  23. With a budget of 69m, it will need to do around 170m to brake even.. that's John Wick 2 numbers, which did 171m. And that movie had amazing action sequences.
  24. Some JLaw stans around here are still in denial about her fading stardom... she had a few great years, which most actors and actresses don't even dream of achieving. From now on she will do some smaller movies or indie films, and it's nothing wrong with that.
