The Disney Thread | Iger will be with us until 2026
Alexander replied to A Marvel Fanboy's topic in Box Office Discussion
Well, he read some viral Twitter story about him and then saw him for two minutes on the Kimmel show or something. That's how fans 'know' all these famous people. -
Gunn 6-7 weeks ago: "We’re working with Ben Affleck, who really wants to be..has been a part of our architecture team trying to bring things together, and he really wants to direct one of our projects, and we’re excited for him doing that.". Guess something happened there or other directors will have to keep Gunn's style / tone. Maybe those insiders were right that A-list directors won't work under Gunn.

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread (December 2021 - July 2023)
Alexander replied to Cap's topic in Numbers and Data
I was thinking for some time now that The Batman could slightly dissapoint. At least here in Europe-UK. I think back in '16 Squad was a bigger hit than BvS and then Joker probably made as much money as those two combined. My local cinema sold just 4 tickets for first 6 screenings. After 9 days. Even worse than Matrix 4. And looking at these presales in US I'd probably drop my 120-140M OW prediction to 100-120M right now. -

$120m so let's be honest here: $35-40m OW should be the minimum for Sony. -

I can't imagine The Batman will move now but guess WB have to make some changes. Maybe The Flash to September/October, Shazam 2 closer to Black Adam and maybe day and date or Max-exclusive, Aquaman to Easter 2023? Something like that. -
Well, what big movies? They only have Sonic 2 and Top Gun 2 + MI8 and TF7 (likely to bomb anyway) in post-production and looks like the only movie Paramount could shoot this year is A Quiet Place spin-off (budget probably anywhere between 20-30M). This studio basically doesn't exist anymore so I'd bet Sheri Redstone sells it soon.

So between Maverick (May '22) and Transformers (June '23) Paramount don't have a big premiere. More than anything I'd bet on that Viacom-Comcast merger (Deadline reported some talks already happened) or Redstone selling at least Paramount and its streamer (to Apple?). The CW is already for sale (Viacom owns 50%) so if PAR has strong Q1+Q2 to make them look good... Yeah, I think that's why they moved TF and MI.
