in regards to the weirdness factors, its written and illustrated by westerners, so I assume it's just going to be a normal lotr story but with a slight anime-ish look similar to the scott pilgrim show now that I think about it, though not looks-wise of course

no way any of the ads mention the term "anime", so its totally dependent on whether people associate the Castlevania art style with anime or not I wager most of the GE will assume its not; doesn't mean they'll watch it, but I dont see why this should perform much worse than a "normal" animated lotr spin-off maybe an animated lotr spin-off has a ceiling of 40 million, but that's another question

dont see the point in comparing this to an anime movie, if it flops it'll be for other reasons; if there is a precedent to compare it to, it'd have to be the an animated spinoff to a live-action franchise, but imagine if what if came out in 2021 as a theatrical release the clone wars pilot movie did 35 million domestic despite terrible reviews, just being a bunch of eps stitched together and little to no marketing, I think something like that is the floor; considering the release date and if its well received, I could see it doing 100 million the only anime thing about is the animation studio, and even then (according to what I've read), it just looks like Castlevania

theres absolutely no way a 120 million budgeted American movie doesnt find a us distributor, it might not be under the terms coppola wanted, but the possibility that it simply doesn't get a US release doesnt exist

probably going to cannes in search of international distributors

kingdom of heaven only opened to 19 million? dang

could be fun and though I do expect P2 to open to over 100, I'm not sure whether easter weekend hurts or helps my family would never go to the theater on easter Sunday, not even for THE Jesus movie

https://productionlist.com/production/passion-christ-resurrection/ began filming 3 days ago, dont know if it'll be ready for easter 2025, if its not, then it'll probably be 2026 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenit_News_Agency those guys claim its release date is april 18th, doubt they'd fake it, but id rather a trade report it

im pretty sure its mc was 77 yesterday, and that with a 25/100 review included

were it not for 2 very negative reviews, the fall guy's Metacritic score would be maverick-tier, yet audience reactions in no way reflect that weird movie for there to be a critic-audience divide, did critics give it a pass because its a movie about movies?

nah, not clear enough the movie might be a different story, but one can easily come out of the trailer not knowing its mcu-adjecent

soft confirmation that the marvels is probably the biggest bomb of all time is something

i'll have to rewatch the trailer, I guess

the ant-man head is a good point, I must not have been paying enough attention, though some of the audience might just see it as a meaningless 4th wall break If Loki really is going to be the big connection, then I cant see this doing too much for the mcu in general; doubt aspects of the loki tv show are recognizable enough for that

I myself thought that the base mcu fan base was worth around 350 million dollars

do we know in what way this movie is going to link back to the mcu? can't really take advantage of any goodwill this movie might create if people arent fully aware that its a mcu movie 4th wall breaks wont cut it, and I doubt its only going to be "Deadpool gets transported to the mcu in the final scene" type thing

how annoying that we'll have to wait till 2025 to see if the mcu still has pulse

https://deadline.com/2024/05/biggest-box-office-bombs-2023-lowest-grossing-movies-1235902825/ so is this the biggest bomb of all time in nominal terms? Thats higher than what disney reported for John Carter, and I doubt 47 ronin had the marketing budget to threaten a 237 million a loss

doest make sense because of the "small budgets, big profits" article they posted yesterday, if Sound of Freedom is not in the top 10 and or that other list, it means they're claiming its profit was less than 46 million, which makes no real sense and probably indicates they disqualified it or something like that do want to know what happened with Jurassic Wick 4 though

.......

thats at least an hour shorter than I expected hope its 2:18 min long because coppola wanted it to be 2:18 min long and not an example of why self-funding 9 digit productions is a bad idea

>New Line’s Kevin Costner three-hour western Horizon: An American Saga “can be a $5M or a $100M movie,” per one rival. I know the interviewee was probably just trying to secure his place in the article, but is there any precedent for something like this (an action epic by a famous actor on his turf) failing to crack double digits? how do you even justify the 5 million number (ow or dom total irrelevant, both seem crazy); as long as its ok, I dont see why it shouldn't at least make the 150 million ww the majority of 2010 westerns did I frankly cant see much difference between this and something like the equalizer trilogy

>Cesar (Adam Driver), in turn, would be a master builder, a great architect, designer, and scientist combining elements of Robert Moses, as portrayed in the brilliant biography The Power Broker lol, I love it

In his statement to VF, Coppola includes a long list of names that influenced the creation of “Megalopolis”: “I wouldn’t have been able to make it without standing as I do on the shoulders of G.B. Shaw, Voltaire, Rousseau, Bentham, Mill, Dickens, Emerson, Thoreau, Fuller, Fournier, Morris, Carlyle, Ruskin, Butler, and Wells all rolled into one; with Euripides, Thomas More, Moliere, Pirandello, Shakespeare, Beaumarchais, Swift, Kubrick, Murnau, Goethe, Plato, Aeschylus, Spinoza, Durrell, Ibsen, Abel Gance, Fellini, Visconti, Bergman, Bergson, Hesse, Hitchcock, Kurosawa, Cao Xueqin, Mizoguchi, Tolstoy, McCullough, Moses, and the prophets all thrown in.” Will admit to letting myself get excited

the first one got a lot of "uncanny valley" complaints, but I dont think that applies to this one, if anything it looks too realistic this trailer looks like a bunch of random scenes from one of those nature docs BBC likes to make stitched together with no real purpose
