Yeah honestly they just need to target Football season advertising really hard. It seems like the Thunderbolts trailer and poster has stolen all the thunder (pun) today from Gladiator. Which makes sense. 1st looks at Thunderbolts, 2nd trailer to Gladiator (which had a mixed-to-negative reception bc of the rap song). But just kind of a shame, feels like a dropped ball considering how much better this trailer is. Paramount needs to make sure that this trailer is attached to like every screening of Joker 2 lol

It's very strongly implied in the first film that Maximus and Lucilla (Connie Nielsen's character) had a relationship many years prior. And can also be inferred that Maximus is Lucius' dad I'm just surprised they revealed that in the trailer

I can't believe they just straight up spoiled that Lucius is Maximus' son. And that Connie Nielsen knows that Paul Mescal is Lucius. The movie looks awesome. But fuck, I wish Ridley shot this on film. This looks SO overly digital and that naturally makes the lackluster CGI standout even more.

Napoleon's screening word was always mixed positive, with word that the battles were extraordinary but the actual drama Marital drama didn't strike a chord ( I remember Sneider saying that on his Pod) Gladiator is inherently such an easier, more crowdpleasing formula. Clear good guys worth rooting for and bad guys worth rooting against I'm take Fennessey's and Vieweranon's words for it. A good amount of positive word now from people who have good reputations in my eye

Sean Fennessey was on the Bill Simmons podcast and said he knows two people who have seen Gladiator II. They praised it and they told him ‘Get fucking ready’. Go to 39 minutes in https://open.spotify.com/episode/0Qo...Q-2LfezsYOCqnw My "Gladiator II is gonna be fucking awesome and every naysayer will bite their tongue" agenda continues. I will be vindicated

With the way he talked about The Acolyte I think he's getting very close Don't get me wrong, I stopped watching that show after 15 minutes. It just felt like bad television. I'm sure it was bad. So Jeremy not liking it isn't a red flag really. But it's the way his comment section turned into the comments sections of the right wing rage bait girfters like Critical Drinker and the Quartering or whoever else that gave me pause. And now reviewing this and praising Matt Walsh is interesting I think it all depends on if he caters toward that audience. Andor S2 needs to save this man lol

Tom Hardy definitely high jacked Let there be Carnage and The Last Dance. But Venom 1 was definitely a Sony Picture, but with Tom Hardy golden sprinkles

I also weirdly agree. Numbers aren't that good across the board. Didn't see many people talking about it on my TL. It is a 2nd trailer and that does tend to happen, but it's odd. I think it should still be fine tho Honestly, the Eddie/Venom shippers can help this movie out a lot as it gets closer to release. I remember a TON of artwork and stuff going big on twitter when Venom 2 was coming out

Ok so this is making a lot more than Venom Let There Be Carnage

I'm hoping for $20m OW for Speak No Evil, but not sure what to expect

I just would've hoped Deadpool and Wolverine would've given him some kind of bump and these comic book nerds would be interested in seeing another movie with him but nope Kind of a rough post covid run for him with Magic Mike 3, Fly me to the moon, and probably Blink Twice after a great start with Lost City and Dog. If Fly me to the moon would've dropped the "prestige" element of faking the moon landing and had just been a charming office set romcom movie with scarjo and Channing, big hit. Also, Apple financing hurts it too

As Borys Kit put it "Elsewhere...Sony has dated Margot Robbie‘ first post-BARBIE theatrical release, A BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY for May 9, 2025 (Mother's Day weekend). In the glow of the studio's hit IT ENDS WITH US, it's calling BBBJ "its next female event movie." I was confused by the May 9 date, but the Mother's day date made a lot of sense. Maybe this isn't going for awards and is more commercial but will be genuinely good. Packing this with Summer blockbusters had me a bit worried but the big release on that first week of May is Thunderbolts and I expect to be a lower Marvel opening. Like I don't see that movie doing $100m DOM opening weekend Sony positioning this as their next Anyone But You or It Ends With Us is the right way to go. I just wonder if the movie will be too... out there for that crowd tho. Like I think people wanted the trashiness of those movies, whereas this will be slightly elevated and has some more fantastical elements. It is a very sweet story though so I think it has the potential to hit with that audience

Trap Saturday August 10 5:45 pm, like 50% full Trailers: Nosferatu ("That's a nice Christmas present. Take the family to go see Nosferatu") The Front Room Alien Romulus Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Joker Folie a Deux (My brother asked me when does that come out?) Some laughs here and there

It's not gonna be like Covenant but it is a bummer to see the RT drop after such a good start. Will probably settle in the low 70s I imagine I'm expecting a really fun thrill ride that will play relatively well with audiences, moreso than Covenant and Prometheus. But it seems like the people who really care about the franchise have been disappointed by this movie not having much of anything interesting to say
