Between Seoul Spring and Noryang, Aquaman is getting seriously squeezed for screens, especially PLF screens.

For anyone else who has Letterboxd, I made a list. A few of the movies have slightly different titles/years and these are missing from Letterboxd (or at least I couldn't find them):
The First Cry (2007)
Luck Luck Ki Baat (2012)
Apna Bhai Gaju Bhai (2016)
It also combines Dr. Syn, Alias the Scarecrow (1964) and The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh (1963), probably because one is a TV version and the other is a theatrical cut of the same material

Elemental -3.21% (and higher than Wed-Friday... was school out?)
There was a teachers protest (kinda, it's complicated) and due to that some students didn't go to school on Monday.

When a marvel movie is short, they generally pointing to a less-satisfying quality.
Thor 2 (112 min), Antman 3 (124min), thor 4 (118min) , iron man 2 (124min)
That's cherry-picking. Thor, Dr. Strange, Ant-Man, and Ant-Man 2 are all under 2 hours.

This is a great example of why you should never believe something just because it was claimed in a lawsuit.
When lawyers draft a lawsuit, they present the best possible case they can without outright lying (and a lot of times they come perilously close to outright lying). They leave out facts, leave out context, and use every rhetorical trick to make their opponents look like the worst people on Earth. If a lawsuit doesn't make the person filing it look to be in the right (at least legally), the lawyers involved seriously screwed up.
And, of course, their opponents lawyers will do exactly the same thing from the other side with their response. Until the real facts come out via discovery and the trial it is impossible to know what really happened and you should reserve judgement.

Also I’ve heard Korea’s Gender war is really fierce,maybe that’s another reason,Korea women refuse the “male gaze” so they think the heroine of TLM is the progress of women’s right(Even you’re not so beautiful you can still get the heroine position of Disney movie)
This couldn't be further from the truth. Korea is quite possibly the most beauty-obsessed country on Earth with massive per-capita spending on cosmetics and the most plastic surgeries per-capita in the world.

Ok, I realize that people here are probably sick of me being a Negative Nancy, but there’s something I might as well get off my chest. Assuming that James Gunn’s plan is to reboot the DCEU, and recast the entire Justice League, including Wonder Woman and Aquaman, it seems more and more apparent that this wouldn’t apply to TSS and Peacemaker, which I would find to be more than a little vexing.
I would have a certain degree of respect for the decision to do a reboot if Gunn actually committed to it, but if he’s just going to keep the stuff he personally worked on, then that is just plain annoying. Not only would doing that not make any sense in terms of having a cohesive universe (seriously, we even saw Jason Momoa as Aquaman and Ezra Miller as the Flash in Peacemaker), but it would also come across as just a tad unprofessional on Gunn’s part, given that much of the people involved with TSS and Peacemaker happen to have personal connections to him.
To be clear, I’m not saying that Gunn isn’t allowed to put his brother, his wife or his pals in his movies, but if he’s going to be the head of DC Studios, I would hope that he could try to have some sense of professionalism, and not simply do things that would satisfy his own ego.
Of course, I can concede that we still don’t know what exactly Gunn’s plans are, so I suppose it wouldn’t be fair for me to make any judgments at this stage. I just wish they would hurry up and let us know what’s going on.
We don't know exactly what Gunn's plans are, but he has addressed this

If the reports I've seen about the story are true, this goes way beyond Braveheart levels of inaccuracy.
SpoilerFrom what I have read, they are going to be presented as a group fighting against slavery. In reality, they were the exact opposite, fighting to continue their kingdom's slave economy. That is like a movie about the American Civil War presenting Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia not merely as good guys, but as a force trying to end slavery.
I will wait to reserve judgement until the movie actually comes out as pre-release leaks are unreliable, but right now I am not optimistic.

100%. Vast majority of film goers chose which projects they watch based upon quality, not the ethnicity of those involved, wtf, who does that in 2022? WB and Zaslav know they need to make quality films, period, and people will come out. How many regular casual movie goers gave even a seconds thought to the skin tones of Catwoman and Gordon in THE BATMAN? They were instantly, universally accepted and acclaimed. Alan Horn will push them to make films for America, not Twitter, which is exactly how it should be.
People here loving drama.
"How will they run the studio when they piss off all the talent?!"
*Reeves signs first-look deal the next day*
*crickets*
"OMG they pushed back AQUABRO 2, they have no money!!"
*Aquabro 2 now is the favorite in win 2023*
*crickets*
Not to mention the fact that they still have a ton of "diverse" movies still coming out. If you look at their scheduled DC movies for this year and next:
Black Adam - Black/Pacific Islander lead
Blue Beetle - Hispanic lead and director
Aquaman - White/Hawaiian lead and Malaysian Chinese director
The Flash - White (non-binary) lead and Hispanic director
Only Shazam has both a white lead and a white director. There are also plenty of "diverse" non-DC movies scheduled such as House Party, Creed 3, and The Color Purple. And one of the "creatives" Zaslav specifically offended was Clint Eastwood, an old white man. Doesn't really fit the narrative of the racist CEO trying to eliminate all diversity in favor of white men.

Dune Awaskeing is a remake of the classic "Dune 2" real time strategy game from the early 1990's.
How is an "open world survival MMO" a remake of an RTS game? It doesn't look like it will have anything to do with Dune 2 other than the setting.

Most CEO pay comes in the form of stock grants, which reward raising the share price in the past, or options, which reward raising the stock price in the future. Changing that to pay based directly on profits would have negative effects on their running of the company. People already complain about CEOs being too short-term focused (despite a large chunk of their compensation being based on stock options) and tying their pay to current profitability would make that worse. Long term investments by a company reduce current profitability so, under your proposal, would directly reduce CEO pay which would greatly disincentivize investment.
