Sony probably more concerned with selling to people who didn’t see Spiderverse than people who liked spiderverse a lot. That’s how you get sequel growth.
On the other hand I assume there was a lot of directorial freedom here, harder to speculate where they wanted to take the story until we see it.
I am thinking (and hoping) it will be more like “woah, another one, cool. I liked seeing all those Spider-Men and different universes combining last Christmas, I should check this out” from the (substantial) portion of the audience that will have seen NWH but not Spiderverse 1.
On a less memey note, if AT&T take NWH to 700M+ with a multiverse story, it really could help this one 10 months later, especially if some of them appear which seems reasonably likely to me.
Apparently Oscar Isaac is in this too?
The era of every Hollywood star inevitably ending up with a marvel role has ended, the era of every Hollywood star inevitably ending up with two marvel roles has begun.
Sure, if you basically wrote one script/story and then realized it was so long you wanted to split it in two, the part one/part two conveys that pretty clearly imo.
Omicron data coming in pretty concerning again. I think it’s going to just miss making a mess of the DOM OW but could become more of an issue internationally by dec 15 and for DOM further weekends.
It’s a horrible idea imo in so many ways. EotW is basically winternight+baerlon+shadar logoth+caemlyn+blight, and we’ve skipped the two that introduce some of the most important characters to the work’s protagonist.
Pretty decent hold for Eternals actually, gaining ground on TDW true FSS comp. Could finish a little above 165. Should avoid the embarrassment of losing to NTTD at least.
