Judging by all the review scores it's scarily possible that this is how the final movie is going to be like.
Yeah, the editing has been a recurring criticism of the movie.

yeah I think studios are under the impression female team up movies will automatically attract a huge female audience in addition to the typical male audience but as we have seen with Birds of Prey, The Marvels, and now likely this. This is clearly not the caseHad those movies been well written and looked appealing, though, they wouldn't have turned out poorly.

I love this this is a fresh review:
“A clunky, goofy, mess. However, there’s an ultimate joy in this ham-fisted adventure. Unintentionally hilarious dialog, corny villain, cringeworthy moments, lazy Easter eggs, a superb ensemble of cheesy performances lead to an ironically enjoyable romp.”

this is exactly the kind of vibe I expected and hoped for.
Sorry Quantumania and Eternals, I don’t like being bored. But I like having this kind of fun.
Venom 30%
Morbius 15%There are reviews calling Madame Web boring, though.

Feel bad for SJ Clarkson. She has a great track record on TV and was supposed to direct Star Trek before that went into development hell, and had the failed pilot for a GoT spin-off in 2019 as well. And now this will be her actual big screen directorial debut.
Guess she’ll be sticking to TV for the foreseeable future. I just hope the writers behind this, Morbius, Gods of Egypt, The Last Witch Hunter and Dracula Untold never get work again.-

So the movie is as bad as its trailer? What a surprise! Who was the guy who claimed the movie had decent test-screenings, ViewerAnnon again or EmpireCity?
It was DanielRPK. He even thought the trailer looked good.I actually heard Madame Web and Kraven are decent and tested well but obviously we can't be sure unless movie's out and we see for ourselves. But the trailer for Madame Web actually looks good

There are examples of clips being edited down for late night stuff before but it's not usually just completely incoherent like this. This feels like it's missing half the footage that's supposed to be in it
We'll know tomorrow whether that clip was an accurate indicator of the consensus of the overall movie, but as of now, poor clip editing is not gonna get people excited. And even now, there's too much silliness in that clip.

Yeah, I remember hearing reports about it being heavily cut down after King of the Monsters failed. Thankfully, unlike many other situations like this in Hollywood, Adam Wingard seems to have had a decent seat at the table through it all, as indicated by him gleefully returning for this one. And this time they went in with the knowledge of what the fans truly want instead of having to retroactively change the movie after filming, so hopefully the movie is great and it pays off next month.
I’m still waiting for a Destroy All Monsters style team up movie. If you’re the executive in charge of overseeing the MonsterVerse, how is such a movie not on the docket? -
She wants to be done with this movie so friggin’ bad.
-
That movie she did for Ron Howard also wrapped just recently so that’s another reason.

Well, it looks like they finally got Sydney Sweeney to do press for the movie just under the wire.

I think sub-20 over the three day weekend is guaranteed at this point. Sub-20 over six days would be embarrassing. I mean I know people are reporting ticket sales right now that suggest that won't happen, but let's see if refunds get requested the day before when reviews drop. 😜

I just read that a theater chain will add 214 reward points to members' accounts if they buy tickets to see the movie on V-Day, which they say is not being done for Bob Marley.

We’ve seen the cast do promos for the movie and I’m sure we’ll see more people at the red carpet premiere on Monday, but Dakota seems to be the only one doing press and interviews. Unless I missed something.

Has anyone even suggested that they’re doing this to hide spoilers? I haven’t seen anyone assume that. As far as I can see, pretty much everyone is expecting this to be garbage.
I’ve seen some say they’ve heard that.-

Anybody not wearing Spiderman/CBM fan blindes shoud have seen this had bomb written all over it from day one.
And SONY is clearly dumping this keeping marketing money to a minimum. The idea they are saving up for a huge last minute push is pretty silly.
The notion that they're doing it to hide spoilers is silly. Infinity War and Endgame were considered pretty spoiler heavy and both of those movies had their embargoes drop three days before release, not one day.

Cryptic4KQual says the first trailer will come shortly after its quick Super Bowl promo and will be redband.
Deadpool 3 is guaranteed to feature a Super Bowl spot with a trailer releasing afterwards.

The movie just wrapped filming so I'm not expecting anything beyond a 30-second spot focusing on a practical scene without much in the way of effects. They can get such an ad done on time. But I do agree that we likely won't be getting a full trailer for a couple more months yet. If I had to guess it'll be May with Apes.
We could easily get a trailer with GxK at the end of March. -

If Sony had a shred of confidence in this, they would have bumped it to May (where a Marvel movie, whether Disney, Fox, or Sony, has kicked off the Summer for every year the last 20 years) rather than keeping it in February.
Expecting Morbius-tier reviews.
Not *every* year for the past 20 years. 2004-2006 didn't kick off the summer movie seasons with Marvel movies. And then there was 2020 and 2021 for obvious reasons.

May is packed right now anyway, but it doesn’t matter, because this is obviously going to bomb.
It won't bomb as heavily as Argylle considering the budget.

This timetable makes sense considering the red carpet premiere is February 12.
Considering the talks of potential walk-ups for Madame Web on V-Day, I'm half expecting more of those walk-up audiences to opt for the Anyone But You V-Day special release since it's a more V-Day friendly movie and those audiences having likely already seen it, it's a movie they already know they enjoy vs. Madame Web which they risk not enjoying for V-Day. I can't help but feel like the potential stinker they have with Madame Web is why they're doing a special V-Day release for Anyone But You since they're from the same studio.

Free Guy moved to the week before this was supposed to come out and Father's Day weekend became up for grabs after Luca's theatrical release was cancelled. Might as well take advantage of that spot even if it means being crushed by F9 the following week.
Not only that, but they gave it a couple extra days by putting it on a Wednesday. Hoping to get more with a 5-day opening.

Would anyone have expected anything else here?
Either you're with this or you're not. And I'm so with this.

Times have shifted a good deal over the past few years, but I remember Holmes & Watson, having not been screened in advance for critics, having a 6M OD on Christmas and then dropping so hard after that.
