Nolan should be quiet because WB did what he wanted with Tenet and he payed the price for being an ignorant moron. Any director thinking we'll be back to normal and they'll be making a profit in a year is a moron. Movies won't be making anywhere close to what they made pre-pandemic till maybe even 2023 esque.

I mean the generic ass trailer didn't help either...

Yeah movie theaters aren't gonna be able to last a year at this point and who knows how much movies will make in Summer 2021. Definitely won't be anywhere close to what they'd be making pre pandemic.

Bold of him to assume there will still be movie theaters at the rate it's going...

I think this pandemic has changed the landscape of Cinema for the next decade. I don't think we'll see another billion dollar gross in a movie till maybe 5-6 years from now. Even when a vaccine is found, people just won't feel safe. Holding these films hostage for who knows how long is dumb. At some point you're gonna have to just release it because even if it's released in May of 2021, you're no longer guaranteed to make the amount of money you would pre-pandemic. I don't think studios understand that and just assume if they push and push the date then it means their film has a chance to gross more.

Completely agree and we all know that after The Hunger Games, the GA became tired of this kind of story. Hence why after THG every other book series that tried this flopped.

The music choice reminded me of New Mutants...and I don't think you want that comparison.

Really meh all around especially with all the hype surrounding it. Aside from visuals, really lackluster. This has bomb written all over it especially if it sticks with it's release date.

I think it's time we accept the facts that unless a movie is PVOD, there's no benefit for any studio to release films in 2020. This would have easily been a 100+ gross pre CO-VID but things won't be normal till even late 2021. Studios are going to have to make some tough choices. WW1984 cannot come out now, not with these numbers.

You could also watch some great anime as well. For example One Piece is 1000 + episodes and well it's perfect if you're quarantined.

Damn it I have tickets!

I think the studios have to just bite the bullet and put their movies on streaming. Have a $30-40 pay wall and call it a day. Cause all these postpones are getting crazy and it makes me kind of cringe that Disney is using Mulan as an experiment into whether or not to move Black Widow. A movie that's budget is over 200 million dollars solely being used as an experiment is really a weird move on Disney's part.

I do think Coronavirus is definitely an influence at the box office domestically. Movies that only made a million dollars over the course of 3 days made it into the top 10. That's not a good sign of theater attendance.

I will say at least in my family we usually watch all the Disney new releases together and I asked them are we gonna go see this one and they said absolutely not. They don't want to go anywhere with large crowds. We also live in Tampa where there are confirmed 5 cases of the virus. Instead we binge watched Love is Blind. The streaming services must be doing great numbers thanks to this virus.

In all seriousness I think it's time for people including the president to see that this magically will not go away in April. This is not going away any time soon and the only way you can protect yourself is by washing your hands. The impact this has made to our global economy has already been seen. Look at the stock market crashing and in a positive way look at the significant decrease in pollution in China. Until a cure is found, nothing is going to change. The movie theatre business is just one of the many businesses having to deal with the situation. I do hope though that many countries lead by what China, Japan, and Korea are doing. They pay the people they quarantine a living wage.
