Reshoots/pick-ups are a normal aspect of studio filmmaking. With that said, it seems pretty reasonable to say that this movie is undergoing more extensive reshoots compared to the norm, but that’s not necessarily a sign that the final product will fare poorly. The fact that they delayed it to 2025 would suggest that they’re taking their time.

Quite the cast they’re putting together.

People think Rock can score an Oscar nom?
There’s a reason I said that him campaigning for an Oscar sounds even weirder than him running for President.

You think this will have the characters get into a fight right before the third act like every other animated Disney movie?

I don’t think it’s the corporations people are concerned about (at least I hope not). The concern when movies like Furiosa bomb is more because of the implications it has for the future of cinema. Movie theaters have already been walking on thin ice for a few years now, and having a bunch of high profile bombs doesn’t exactly help.

99% of movies fall in a general range of a multiple of the OW... even Elemental, it really surprised people with 5x legs, but that's really just another $30 m Dom, which isn't earth shattering. If Furiosa has 5x legs it still won't match the first Fury Road...
I’m not even expecting Furiosa to have 3x legs, which is why I said I don’t think there was any saving it.

A lot of Film Twitter can’t handle that Furiosa isn’t successful. I sort of get it, but still . . .

In the case of Furiosa, I don’t think there was ever any saving it, but I do think there is a greater point to be made about how people need to stop being so quick to declare movie a bomb before seeing how its legs are.

Looks like Garfield didn’t hurt IF as much as people predicted.

Why did this become a thread about Troy?

For all the doom and gloom over Furiosa bombing, it seems everyone quickly forgot that the highest grossing movie of the year so far is a Dune movie that’s 166 minutes long. Yeah, that’s an IP movie, but so is Furiosa.

I don’t see why not having John Krasinski and Emily Blunt would be much of a detriment for A Quiet Place. It just needs to deliver on being a tense creature feature.

I’d be lying if I said that I go to the movies as often as I did from 2014-2019, but I don’t want theaters to die out.

Another one of my hot takes (maybe?) is that attributing the entire $922M difference between Captain Marvel and The Marvels to Endgame is really weird. Come on now, do you actually think Captain Marvel would've done just $200 million worldwide if it weren't for Endgame? Even if Captain Marvel wasn't tied into Endgame -- let's say it released in July 2016 -- it still probably would've done a solid $600-700M WW.
I don’t think I’ve seen anyone suggest that Captain Marvel would’ve flopped without Endgame. Just that it’s unlikely it would’ve crossed a billion without the Marvel hype machine being at its absolute peak at the time.
As for The Marvels, there’s any number of likely reasons why it bombed.

Out of curiosity, when exactly did Internet circles begin putting so much stock in test screenings anyway? Did it start with all that DC drama in 2016?

I think Aquaman 2 benefitted from more or less being the only action tentpole of last December.

The next Barbenheimer will seemingly be next year in April, when that Michael Jackson biopic and the Passion of the Christ sequel open, assuming neither film moves. It would be like Barbenheimer’s evil clone.

Oof. This Summer has been off to a rough start. Looks like Marvel will get to position themselves as the “savior of cinema” just like when NWH came out.

I don’t think theaters are going to back to how they were 30, 20 or even 10 years ago anytime soon. The pandemic and the rise of streaming were a game changer.

The rumored plot synopsis is making the rounds, in case anyone is interested.
