Black Widow | July 9 2021 | ScarJo secures the bag from Disney
WittyUsername replied to Kalo's topic in Box Office Discussion
As far as I’m aware, the only post-Disney MCU movies that haven’t followed the approach of being released early overseas are IW and EG, and that was to prevent spoilers. -

Why did they delay it if they’re doing a hybrid release? What’s the point of that? -
GODZILLA vs. KONG | March 31 2021 | Adam Wingard to direct

The buzz for this seems a lot bigger than the buzz for Tenet. -

I don’t know why it’s so difficult to have both fun monster action and decent human characters. Out of all the MonsterVerse films so far, Kong: Skull Island did the best job in both of those regards. -

This movie is really only 113 minutes long? Man, after watching the Snyder Cut, I can no longer fathom watching a big budget movie that short. -
You can expect the marketing for this to go somewhere along the line of “the sequel to the highest grossing movie of all time!”

Tom And Jerry | Warner Animation Group | February 26, 2021

Tom & Jerry videos apparently get a lot of views on YouTube, and my nephew is a fan, so it seems to be popular with kids. -
They tried reinventing Superman with the Snyder movies, and while I personally am willing to defend Man of Steel, to say that Snyder’s take was polarizing is understatement. At this point, we need a traditional Superman movie that is optimistic and upbeat through and through, and I don’t trust Coates or Abrams to deliver that. As hated as Whedon’s JL is (and Whedon in general these days), he certainly made the effort of giving us a more traditional Superman, and I wish Henry Cavill would get another chance to do that properly. One more solo movie that gives the character a decent and hopeful send-off would’ve been nice. An anti-Logan, essentially.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m embarrassed at having over predicted the box office potential of Detective Pikachu. All the buzz for that initial trailer threw me off guard. In hindsight, it seems that the reason the trailer did so well was because people wanted to see what live action Pokémon would look like, but they didn’t care much about the film itself. It’ll be interesting to see if Godzilla vs. Kong suffers a similar fate. Aside from that, Endgame’s OW was pretty unbelievable. The fact that it (barely) became the highest grossing film of all time is no small feat either, but those OW numbers, both domestically and overseas, were the craziest thing ever. I saw the movie on Saturday, and it was a pain to try and find a parking space, and when I got inside, people were crowded around the ticket vendor. That was a little less than two years ago, but it feels more like five. Joker was also a big surprise. It still baffles me that the movie inspired such a nonsensical controversy, but I think it might’ve actually helped it to an extent. There’s something about the Joker that always seems to make him a public phenomenon, whether it’s genuine or ironic.

No one needs to be white. Superheroes can be any race. In terms of Superman though, there are black people who have donned the identity in the comics. Aside from that, it doesn’t seem to be clear whether or not this is a full reboot or not. Coates made it sound like this is in the DC Extended Universe.
