  1. The Puck newsletter didn't say that the studios passed on this concert film, it only said that Team Swift was not content with their offers. The studios probably all offered her a streaming-only release (as is typical with concert films these days), with perhaps a limited theatrical release at best, but evidently Swift aimed for something bigger.

    The biggest theatrical concert films are all from 10+ years ago, so the studios were likely hesitant to give her a full theatrical push. 

  2. One thing that I have noticed:

     

    Aren't Frozen and Frozen II now technically the highest grossing movies with no male lead characters / only female leads?

     

    Because all movies that have grossed more than Frozen/Frozen II have either both male and female leads or only male leads.

    I guess Kristoff could be counted as a lead character in Frozen, but he definitely played second fiddle to Elsa and Anna in the sequel, so it would still apply to Frozen II

    A pity that it's gonna get so close to $1.5bn worldwide and $500M domestically, but will likely not reach it 😕

    I have a lot of Chinese friends, and they say that original Star Wars aren't popular in China at all, so the sequel trilogy's being a copy-paste of the OT actually hurt it in China, where people were introduced to Star Wars through the prequels (which did pretty well for their time and later were pirated a lot).


    Gavin Feng also said something like this a few days ago: The whole futuristic aesthetic of the Prequel Trilogy was much more appealing to the Chinese market than the Sequel Trilogy, which has pretty much only focused on barren and empty planets.

     

    But ofc Disney/Lucasfilm for some reason tries to avoid acknowledging the prequels as much as possible, so they doubled down on the original trilogy nostalgia, which evidently didn’t really work outside of TFA in not only China, but in many other emerging markets.

     

    Which is also why I don’t think The Mandalorian is really building back goodwill for the Star Wars brand on a global scale.
    TM is pretty much a sci-fi Western, so it’s very appealing to Star Wars’ core fans in North America, where also most of the buzz and hype is coming from.
     

    But I personally doubt that it would be as appealing to international audiences as it is to Star Wars’ core market, so I hope Lucasfilm doesn’t just think that the next right thing to do is to make movies like The Mandalorian, because that’s getting lots of hype right now, cause I really can’t see movies like that exciting audiences worldwide.

    And now they need to decide if they'll keep trying to please older audiences that clearly didn't want the franchise to evolve or do something new to actually gain new audiences, especially foreign.

     

    To me the main reason for IX failure as a movie is exactly because they try to please everyone a bit when clearly this isn't possible

     

     


    Agreed, It’s gonna be very tricky.

     

    Continuing to please older fans will most likely lead to further decline and diminishing box office returns, but would be the “safer” option, at least initially, while trying something new and fresh could capture the attention of new audiences, especially in emerging market, but it could also completely backfire in that everyone, new and old, rejects that approach.

     

    LF/Disney has some crucial decisions to make.

    They will likely announce what it is during Celebration. Just think about those Game of Thrones battles we had during the show and multiply that by about ten and that would be what an onscreen battle would be like for a potential Old Republic movie.


    I would argue that we didn’t even get spectacles as epic as the Battle of Bastards with the Sequel Trilogy.

    Honestly, even the final battle in TROS with all those thousands of ships and Star Destroyers felt very underwhelming.

     

    So I don’t really trust Lucasfilm to deliver something like what you describe with the new Star Wars movies, especially not with the first movie, where they would first need to establish the timeline and the new characters & setting.

    General audiences have no clue what The Old Republic is about.

     

    Also based on how Lucasfilm is developing Star Wars right now (Sequel Trilogy, The Mandalorian, Jedi: Fallen Order), everything is pointing towards another “small-scale” or Western-ish Star Wars story and not to the Galaxy-spanning true sci-fi epic that you seem to want.

    +Ne Zha and Wandering Earth 😉

    So TROS is not even gonna make into the top 10 overseas grossers of this year...

    Disney/Lucasfilm really needs to work on Star Wars´ international appeal with their future projects.

    Because this is really not promising for future Star Wars movies.
