Yikes, these EG numbers are kinda low, no? Unless it sold excessively digitally because people couldn't wait.
You said that MCU doesn't strive for more than Popcorn fun hence why they won't make a classic movie. Which is a redundant comment since plenty of classic blockbusters were nothing more than just that. Also art is subjective. Eg. Infinity War and its fight scenes is ART to me and many other people - just like watching paint dry aka. The Joker is art to you.
All the MCU movies were released far to recently to be considered classics. Also I was arguing against your point that blockbusters can't be classics. So no YOUR tragic take wasn't validated anywhere but in that delusional head of yours.
The first one did well because it was riding off the Stranger Things hype. Kids in the 80s fighting evil monsters. This one isn't going to do nearly as well.
why is your pretentious ass sitting here acting like blockbusters can't be classics. Indiana Jones, Back to the future etc. Just because a movie isn't completely devoid from any color or fun doesn't mean that it won't be considered a classic. MCU is one of the greatest achievements in cinema history of all time.
I read that somewhere. I'm not sure if true. He also bought the rights to make a remake. So it might be possible that he wanted it sabotaged in the US so that he could release the english version. I don't know lol.
I think Intouchables was sabotaged in the US by Harvey Wienstein. He wanted to make an english remake lol.
There are honestly just a few examples so I think it could happen again. But even American movies struggle nowadays unless they are based on a famous IP and even then it can lead to failures - MIB, Dora, Godzilla, Pokemon etc.
Yeah but we have had many popular tv shows that are in foreign languages. Eg. Skam and Dark. I don't see why that couldn't translate into movie success.
Crouching tiger + intouchables were big. I'm sure something could smash even harder. I mean isn't Minions technically from france or whatever. If they just make something thats appealing enough it should be possible.
