I wonder how Zaslav is liking that first look deal with Muschietti right about now…

I really liked Snyder’s extended Justice League cut. It’s pretty much the Ben-Hur of cheesy b-movies.

Gunn has never run anything so there’s reason to be pessimistic. Almost any one can assemble a writer’s room in which ten potential projects are burped up and put on a chalkboard. Let’s see the execution.

He is a much bigger and more beloved star today than he was then. TBH I think he would have a much larger impact than Keaton - who was never a draw outside 2 Bat films, 1 of which was more of a historically large marketing success headline by JACK NICHOLSON and the other film which was its direct sequel. Hell, BATMAN FOREVER lost Keaton and sold even more tickets on opening weekend than RETURNS did.
I completely agree with you.

The costumes and cgi in this movie look absolutely atrocious.

Either a sequel or a full reboot. Instead they tried both. You need to be clear to your audience. Most people think this is a prequel to the Bayformers movies.
They need to dump hack producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura. He’s the one who won’t allow a full on reboot.

Sad seeing international numbers keep going down for TLM and Spider-Verse on OW
Hopefully Transformers bucks the trend
I don’t think that’s going to happen with Transformers frankly because of the diversity of the cast.

Nothing outside of Mario, Guardians 3 and Dead Reckoning will make it to $700m worldwide.

The 2007 movie is legitimately good and one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in a theater. It felt like I was at a rock concert with everyone cheering and fist-bumping throughout.

I think people are sleeping on this one. It’s going to open huge.

So... are these news from Sneider real or not? He was always reliable and has a great history with leaks (and recently broke the Beetlejuice 2 news).
Yes. Sneider is legit.

The person who does the box office reporting for Deadline is an idiot.

Not that Solo was "bad" (it wasn't IMO), but this really doesn't say as much as people sometimes make it out to be.
(Eternals [if at a different festival] was under Chapek's watch — but near as I can tell Disney really thought they had a winner on their hands and were surprised at the reception)
Solo was good! You’re right about Eternals being a surprise, Feige thought he had an Oscar contender on his hands.

I don’t usually like to do this or when I do I sometimes disguise it more as a guess (albeit an informed one) so take this with a major grain of salt especially as I have only been having a chat deeply with one person but looks like:
- Theatrical windows will largely be in 60-75 day range
- Disney+ will continue to have smaller original movie titles mainly in the Drama/Biopic, Sports and younger skewing children/family films and Hulu will have original Drama/Comedy (using 20th Century and Searchlight)
- Disney is hopeful for a good cadence of longer form TV from WDAS and Pixar, starting this year with Tiana and Win or Lose, will help fill gaps between movie releases for that audience (thus allowing them to go back to longer theatrical windows without too many complaints)
- More funding for ABC (Sports, News, Unscripted and Scripted), Disney Channels, Nat Geo, FX and Searchlight with an emphasis on dual revenue streams (Broadcast, Cable and Theatrical respectively then Streaming) although there will still be certain titles that are streaming only
- ESPN will be largely the same but more shared coverage between ABC and ESPN+
The first 3 points I’m more confident in as I know people at WDAS, Pixar*, Lucas* and DLA who pretty much have been hinting at such changes.
A lot of this seems to be to speed up profitability/lessen losses in the next 12-18months for streaming (some of this has already been in place, starting to take shape for a while) but I imagine the theatrical window will stay similar even when streaming does become profitable next year.
*Also been hearing very, very got things about Win or Lose and some early praise for Indy 5.
Indy 5 is premiering at Cannes so that’s a good sign. Iger would never allow that if he thought the movie was bad.

Halloween Ends total run will be less than Halloween 2018 opening weekend. Very rare for a movie trilogy to piss away the hype and goodwill that fast. If a 4th Divergent movie had been made that would have likely ended below the OW of the first one as well. It's hard to find movie franchises collapse that hard thanks to a badly received sequel.
It’s what Jason Blum deserves for moving forward with that awful script.

No one said it’s not getting a sequel, people just like to assume things, no one really knows what’s gonna happen tbh.
John Campea says the script for the BA sequel has already been finished and turned in. He said they’ll be ready to start filming in four months or so. Campea says the movie needs to make around $450m ww and a quick green light will follow.

He was kinda busy... (I could make an insult about Black Adam's title here, but...)
There was never a Man of Steel 2, there never has been, and there still isn't. I don't know where people get the idea that there is. If there actually was, we'd surely be hearing about it in the trades.
Loving all the hot takes here since reviews emerged (and loving the review headlines).
Stopped by for these, wasn't disappointed. 😁
And yes, WW84 is pretty, pretty bad. Worse than Aquaman by leagues, I'd say -- at least that movie had some stunning visuals to counter it's ludicrous script. I will probably never watch either ever again (nor ZSJL, which I just finally, painfully sat through), but if put in a room and forced to pick one...it's Aquabro everytime.
Trades reported on Man of Steel 2 yesterday.

Deadline’s box office reporter needs to be locked away in a lunatic asylum for a while. Dude is certifiable.

Deadline should find a new box office reporter/writer. The current guy is kind of a lunatic.

Problem is doing it this late in the game.
Do things like this on the fly is one one of things that messed up the DCU in the first place.
There are reports that WBD may yet again delay the release date.
-
THR also reported Aquaman 2 may get delayed. Probably to make way for reshoots but that’s just my speculation.
Zaslav wants these movies to become major events and beefing up Affleck and Gal Gadot’s screen time fits with that plan.
