Not sure I buy that number. Usually it was official budget + 10-20% but that really became official budget + 25-60% over last two years so who knows. However, filming was quite short. Just 3 months or so.
Because they're selling the studio. The same thing WBD's been doing for months. Or MGM when they gave PTA 70M to make Licorice Pizza and then sold the studio to Amazon.
Batgirls tested in 50s to 60s, those other two movies always in 60s.
October 25, November 15 or December 25 would have made sense but end of January don't bring any confidence and Warners know that.
But that doesn't make much sense for me. Most of that crowd became Top Gun fans when they were young rebels. Or at least in their heads. Fir them Maverick was like some time machine.
Too many just don't like Sneider as a person, that's it.
And Honestly... This looks fine but I don't expect more than a 6-7/10 movie and 350-370M WW-China.
Gladiator's main audience was 30+ or 35+. Now they're 55-75 or so and current audience in early 30s don't gave the same connection to this genre. Obviously this is just my opinion but I believe that a lot of people will be dissapointed with G2 bix office
I think most of these guys are very young and didn's see any film made before the Attack of the Clones lol. I think whole film twitter is like that and doesn't matter whether they stan Marvel, A24 or The Bear. Their opinion don't mean much. They like one thing and ten minutes later they just switch to another thing.
Sounds like the perfect job for Peyton Reed lol. Honestly these big studios basically transformed into factories during mid / late 2010s and last year it became obvious a big part of audience had enough so what's the logic behind pushing a project like this one? They're lowering value of their top brands like there's no tomorrow and really that's how suits treat studio bussiness these days. Just deliver products and who cares how the biz looks like five years from now.
Basically Film Twitter told Disney it's the right thing to do to finally release those Pixar movies in theaters but because Film Twitter is literally maybe 17 people and only 4 of them actually buy tickets. So these numbers are hardly surprising.
