Yeah dude, you should continue to fantasize about how film twitter will get annoying about this.

No, Matrix Christmas day is $4.5. 66% increase.

I dont think that anyone who has even actually seen Titane gives a shit? You all are way more annoying about this than "film Twitter" will ever be about it lol.

I agree with this for more than just musical. I don't think enough people appreciate the verticality 4:3 offers (too many people focus on the black bars to the sides instead).

I don't think anyone is disputing that Matrix 4 would've had terrible legs and an underwhelming total gross at this point, but without HBO Max, it would've had a pretty big opening.

2:24 minutes is the runtime of the teaser trailer. Nothing to see here.

You guys expecting meltdowns is pretty funny when more people will have meltdowns over Don't Look Up getting nominated than No Way Home lol.

What non-BP noms could it realistically get? VFX and sound? Would make it the weakest BP nominee in years. Think this could get a PGA nom though.

Idk, reception seems pretty divisive so far.

I'd rather have Lana reclaim the franchise she created instead of having it be turned into shit by the guy who wrote Free Guy.

Wrong like always.

Still thinking about this line delivery. Impressive how she delivers each word in a completely different way.

After having seen the film, Matrix boxoffice is whatever, who cares at this point. Just happy something this idiosyncratic exists.

Dark Universe

The wild swing is the fact that it was as idiosyncratic as it was (which TLJ even wasnt). Structurally the movie is a mess and it acts on an entirely different wavelength that makes it feel more like therapy for Lana than an actual sequel. When was the last time we had a big blockbuster feel this slight?

The entire movie is just Lana projecting her thoughts and (completely justified) frustrations on today onto the franchise that defined her career while also giving a ending to two characters that deserve a reunion. The movie is low stakes and it doesnt do what a sequel is supposed to do, but I thought it worked great as a way for an artist to just go through her own feelings on the past 20 or so years of her life. Its totally a film made for her than anyone else.

The one thing I definitely didnt like was Priyanka Chopra's performance. Just awful.

This ended up being the most romantic Hollywood movie in years. Also a film that manages to be meta without sacrificing its sincerity. Anyone else go crazy when the husband popped up? Such a cool cameo lmao.

Jeez, 800k previews for Kings man.

The best film of 2022

Because its also winter, meaning the virus would spread even easier.

I agree with you here, but I just disagree with the notion that there is a lack of interest in this film or franchise as the other guy said.

I mean sure, but the GA hasn't seen the film yet though. The scores on review sites are fine so far (which matters more than the contents of the reviews themselves). And wasn't PS chugging along just fine until Spider-man hit? I just don't see how interest would just collapse with no reason at all. Maybe Spider-man isn't the entire reason, but I think it started a domino effect and killed any momentum this movie had after its initial trailer. Edit: Obviously, I don't blame Spider-man for taking a lucrative spot. I blame WB for being a bunch of idiots. Hey, maybe they do want people to think this movie had no interest so that they could go ahead with that reboot they had planned years ago.

Nah, it still works. A sequel to a 2016 kids film has way less in common than nostalgia sequels to huge 2000s franchises. And Matrix is on streaming, while Sing 2 isn't. Matrix 4's biggest audience is more likely to have seen Spider-man than Sing 2's and are more likely to stay home than go to the cinema again (espescially since they can watch the film at home).

Yeah, I'm sure it's just a lack of interest and has nothing to do with the film releasing 3 days after the 2nd biggest opener of all time (that goes for almost the same demo).
