Shrek 5 would be the best shot of dethroning The Lion King remake as the highest grossing animated film (it's actually a travesty that film is No 1) they would need to decide to either go with the more traditional CGI style of the other Shrek films or the hybrid Puss in Boots 2 style. -
Pixar has been the one division since 2019 that has maintained the best quality compared to everything else Disney has done. Which makes their treatment by Disney since COVID the more disappointing.
-
Part One in a movie title only make sense with adaptations when you're clearly telling the audience that the film is only going to cover a portion of a work with the same title. Otherwise it really isn't needed when you can name the sequel something different even if it's directly continuing the story though yes there will always be pushback on films that have unresolved plotlines.

Even if MI ended up doing better than Oppenheimer over the same time period Paramount were foolish to think IMAX would drop a Nolan movie for anything when he is the IMAX guy. That is the major misstep they made I don't blame Paramount too much for being more wary of Indy 5 than Barbenheimer in terms of BO potential.

I just assume WB are in chaos as their default so any major hits they have come as good surprise for me.
-
Big unforced error by Disney with Indy and Elemental going to Cannes when reviews afterwards weren't as bad as the reception there suggested.
-
They should have had Michael Keaton come back as Ken in the Barbie movie
-
Think it's a combination of lack of grosses from China which tend to be very frontloaded with some exceptions and it seems post-COVID when something hits the zeitgeist it really hits. I actually like it because it makes hitting $1B really special again.
-
Franchises all have self lives no matter the quality. I don't see it as a bad thing if they end with the 8th. Better go out while it's still going good than fizzle out.
-
I'd separate the issues Disney is having with their animation and their live action films. Animation wise for Disney I still believe it's more an issue of the changing market post-Covid & Disney+ and less a quality issue. Elemental is a good first step back and I do think Wish can be a solid hit in the Tangled and Moana range.
-
Disney's downward trajectory is clearly attributed to their failure in 2019 to not provide the BO gods a Memorial Day Weekend sacrifice when Aladdin managed to make $1B. They broke the contract and now they are paying the price.
-
Cruise likes McQ too much that even if studios are reluctant to get him involved (which would be absurd) Tom will find a way. There's no way they end a 16 year partnership from one underperforming movie.
-
This should make its release date? Filming was done almost a year ago
-
I mean there's a reason why Nolan keeps coming back to concepts, themes and tricks from Memento. It will always be the movie that is the foundation of Nolan's work.
-
I don't really care whether a director prefers film or digital as long as the choice is still there which is why it's important we have people like Nolan and Tarantino championing the format of film.
-
Yeah Part 2 has had far less complications and some of it was filmed during the production of Part 1 so hopefully the budget isn't as inflated. Then again McQ did say Part 2 is of a higher scale to Part 1 so who knows. Assuming it can hit the 2024 release date there's far less competition so it should have more room but unfortunately there's a clear ceiling for this franchise it seems.
-
I would guess either a proper film noir detective film or horror as Nolan's next outing. Probably the latter as he would want to make it massive in the vein of his work post-TDK.

ELEMENTAL | 342.0M overseas | 496.4M worldwide
Darth Lehnsherr replied to kayumanggi's topic in International Box Office
I need it to keep raining in the UK for other reasons but if it helps Elemental the better -
Yeah the 2024 schedule looks so barren. Potentially could have nothing above the $400M mark which is disastrous.
-
I used to love using Mojo for those showdowns it made using comps alot easier. It's a travesty what happened to that website.
-
December 2024 challenge Thunderbolts and move Sonic to March 2025
-
Yeah GOTG Vol 3 got salvaged DOM by superb WOM but the OW was a bit underwhelming. I guarantee that movie breaks $400M if it was in 2022.

M:I7 when Barbenheimer arrived
