    It will be interesting to see if a multi-year gap will have an effect on the "Part Twos" for Fast & Furious and Spider-Verse. You could potentially add Dead Reckoning Part 2 if the strikes keep going. Normally we see Part Twos follow up within 12 months but alot of that is due to them being filmed back to back.

    None of the MI subtitles matter too much Tom Cruise made a good point that no one remembers these films by their name but rather what their big stunt was (which you could argue they overcooked the marketing for the bike jump in Dead Reckoning). But the Part One addition was a mistake definitely.

    Yeah I doubt the Thrawn books will play a major role in the Ahsoka show unless the Grysks are involved somehow. It really does feel like the journey for this era of Star Wars will be a (very) loose adaptation of Heir to the Empire.

    Lol the last thread when I mentioned JJ Abrams that's the real "He Who Must Not Be Named". I like alot of his films but his career is a good example of what's wrong with alot of the studio system today.
  5. Darth Lehnsherr
    At least The Creator will look and sound nice with Fraser and Zimmer involved.
  6. Darth Lehnsherr
    J J Abrams has been nowhere to been seen since TROS
  7. Darth Lehnsherr
    Yes but this time the discourse will be filled with how bad people thought TLK remake was. Now that may not extend to alot of audiences but it will have an effect.

    Go for it would be a bold club

    Disney+ discourse has somehow managed to combine my two main hobbies in the most odd way (cricket and movies/tv).

    Anecdotally Inside Out has had lasting power for those who were 15+ or above when it came out but not sure it appealed to smaller kids as much so not expecting a Dory or Incredibles 2 performance. I'd be more bullish on it matching the first one if Pete Docter was directing but $750M seems solid to me. Deadpool 3 will be massive sure people maybe tired of multiverse stuff but Jackman as Wolverine is a legit draw unlike old Indy or Keaton Batman.

    Still early to tell just like how one failure in Lightyear didn't mean all was lost so the same with Elemental's success doesn't mean all is well for Pixar. Still alot more optimistic this can do $400M minimum if the film is good.
  12. Darth Lehnsherr
    Yeah the whole "just lower the budgets like Illumination and Spider-Verse!" rhetoric for Pixar was naive thinking especially when we found out more about the conditions people worked under for Spider-Verse.

    I'm much more confident in Nolan winning Best Director than Oppenheimer winning Best Picture but a combination of an R rated biopic with an all star cast being critically acclaimed and making blockbuster money is very rare. Might be enough to push it above films with similar acclaim.
  14. Darth Lehnsherr
    Pretty sure that article puts to rest what Disney thinks of Elemental's performance regardless if it breaks even theatrically.
  15. Darth Lehnsherr
    Crazy to me this is gunning for Inception which is still by far the most accessible Nolan film other than his Batman ones.

    I'm sure Shrek still has alot of relevance amongst zoomers even if a decent chunk of it is meme form. Then again isn't that part of the success of Minions 2 and Barbenheimer? It would be a tight rope to walk but getting the creative team behind Puss in Boots 2 would give huge confidence.
  17. Darth Lehnsherr
    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.

    Turtles vs Sharks
  19. Darth Lehnsherr
    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.
  20. Darth Lehnsherr
    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.
  21. Darth Lehnsherr
    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.
  22. Darth Lehnsherr
    I just assume WB are in chaos as their default so any major hits they have come as good surprise for me.
  23. Darth Lehnsherr
    Big unforced error by Disney with Indy and Elemental going to Cannes when reviews afterwards weren't as bad as the reception there suggested.
  24. Darth Lehnsherr
    They should have had Michael Keaton come back as Ken in the Barbie movie
  25. Darth Lehnsherr
    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.
