At this point, I think this is the one CBM of at least the next several years that I’m most curious about. It seems pretty reasonable to say that it’s a lot more experimental than anything we can expect to see from the various interconnected shared universes.

Sounds like this truly is what everyone thought MoM would be.

In Japan, Deadpool 3 dropped to 3rd on Thursday - 56% Drop from Opening Day (Wednesday). It won't win the Weekend at debut here
Jason generally doesn’t care for superhero movies, and they seem to be losing interest in Hollywood movies in general, so that’s not really surprising.

Assuming this movie really is all that, I’d be inclined to say that they should just scrap the live action continuity and focus on this.

When exactly did it become the norm to rush to the defense of corporate filmmaking? If a critic says that this movie exists solely to make money, I think it’s pretty obvious they’re saying that there’s no passion behind it. That it’s a cynical studio product, and not a story that anyone genuinely wanted to tell.
To be clear, I haven’t seen this movie yet, so I’m not personally judging it on that basis.

Maybe BOT needs to start temporarily locking the threads for these kinds of movies ahead of reviews.

I’m not saying these reviews so far are great, but I’m not sure they warrant this whole sky is falling mentality.

True, I went too far. But it's damn crazy how big MCU OWs have been from NWH to DPW
But the big ass OW streak ends comfortably with Cap 4 and the rest of the 2025 blegh movies
Pretty sure The Marvels already broke whatever “streak” you’re referring to.

So just like No Way Home? Should do great then.
NWH benefitted from being more or less the first one to do what movies like this and The Flash have tried to do, at least in terms of being the first one to be released. Many people who initially loved NWH have expressed the opinion that it doesn’t really hold up all that well upon reevaluation.

Hugh Jackman had made it clear for at least the past decade that he wanted to join the MCU. I don’t think he cares as much about the “integrity” of Logan’s ending as others might.

It seems like they’re leaning into the ambiguity of what’s real and what’s fantasy.

Can reviews really make or break a movie like Deadpool?
I think the same applies to Mario and Despicable Me, movies that didn't get good reviews but people didn't care about them and went to see both.
I love reading reviews ( no matter if they trash or praise a movie ). I can't imagine myself not going to the cinema or going to the cinema just because someone trashed or loved a movie. If I'm interested, I'll see it. That's all.
Reviews probably matter more for Deadpool (or any CBM for that matter) than it does for Illumination movies.

Wasn't super hyped but was expecting something better received by the initial wave. Most critics here seem completely spent are super super meta super duper multiverse content.
I personally already thought the wink-wink meta approach was getting old with DP2, and if critics are getting sick of that as well, then I can’t say I’m entirely surprised.
As for the multiverse approach, if critics are getting sick of that too, then I’m not sure that bodes well for Secret Wars. Marvel may have played their hand too early with NWH.

Assuming this ends up with mediocre review scores, should we chalk it up to the Lucasfilm curse again?
-
These seem like fairly typical early reactions for a big superhero tentpole.

What IF the movie is mid? Then what?
It’ll still make money.

Figured some people might get a kick out of this.

BET was floated as one to sell off. Which I get. It doesn’t have the value of say Nickelodeon or Paramount Pictures.
I think you have the wrong thread. This is the WB thread.

Call it Jurassic Universe or whatever.

It seems pretty unorthodox for Marvel to just casually give away such a big reveal a week before their movie comes out.
-
I have to imagine that Disney would be somewhat disappointed if this “only” makes around $800 million.

This is still filming? What is going on? Yeah, I know, strikes and all, but they ended back in November, and they were filming before that.

This obsession Paramount has with milking every facet of the Spongebob IP dry is kinda sad.
