The 1st weekend of September is really bad.

No to all this assumption fest. I'm sorry but not invested on if TGM crosses 700M or not. It's already a historical success and if it crosses 700M I will celebrate. But I don't really think about it that much anymore. When it happens, it happens. And Yes, horribly boring. Mack & Rita making less 2M, Fall also, Bodies Bodies Bodies doesn't seem to be a breakout. Boring movies with bad to ok performances. Mostly a dumping yard that won't get in the Top 10 except BBB. Bullet Train 2nd Weekend drop does look to be quite big. Let's see. And just holdovers remaining. And next weekend I see potential with Beast and Dragon Ball like I said which makes really excited and none of them is opening to 200M. But nice try. Summmary: A awfully slow weekend, with studios trying to take advantage of it with movies with bare marketing and that no one really cares and that the studios probably don't either or have no confidence. And the lack of new releases and those few releases not performing as well as they should is sad. ON THE BRIGHT SIDE. August 2023 does look MUCH better and MAYBE this August just suffered from VFX backlog. And the next few weeks do have stronger movies releasing. Maybe BodiesBB comes with some really good holds in the coming weeks also.

Genuine question. Is September 1st the start of the Fall season? Is August the end of our movie Summer season?

This has to be one of the worst and most boring weekend of the year. At least next weekend we have Beast and Dragon Ball which are 5x times more promising than this shit-filled weekend.

In the set photos there were a lot of Raimi Spider-Man easter eggs. This is not MCU. It's Sony verse.

Skyler from DisInsider said we are getting movies news at D23

I just realized that Pixar has a movie 1 week before that we should get to know about at D23. And also right before in February there's Garfield. I don't see Disney running from the March 1st date. So it either happens or Kung Fu ends up moving.

Love to see 2024 shaping up

Wonder how much in profits, from theatrical run only, Thor has made by now. PROFITS. If I had to shoot, I would say 62M-65M.

The yellow does look really bad

I'm really excited for this.

September does look much better overall in terms of new releases. Hopefully 20th Century "Barbarian" becomes a breakout horror movie. It has screened and reactions were really good.

I want to remember everyone of this interview of Kennedy in May 2022 about the future of movies. https://comicbook.com/movies/news/star-wars-rogue-squadron-movie-on-hold-pushed-side-lucasfilm-kathleen-kennedy-patty-jenkins/ Call it bs if you want. But I think we will hear at D23 what are the next 2 Star Wars movies at least. If not? I'll fucking riot.

I know people here like to joke about Star Wars movies not coming (which is understandable)but I'll say this. At SW Celebration, they went all out on streaming. We won't get a SW movie in 2023. Period. If they don't schedule something for October 2024 or August 2024 or maybe July 2024, we won't get a Star Wars movie until December 2025. Still. I predict right here and now that at D23 we will get BIG Star Wars theatrical updates. BIG updates. If not a whole ass trilogy or even a roadmap, at least confirm 2 movies.

BRUH...

Nice. I do miss it. They knew how to make a damn good show and it's absence was felt on on the awards season.

Fuck school.

Same. Won't believe in anything I just read. All sounds bs and riding on a Chapek hate wave.

Just waiting for Ezra to be kicked out. I honestly can't get excited for this knowing Ezra is involved.

Wonder how many Billion dollar movies we will have in 2023. I feel like now more than ever, your movie needs to be good to reach it. I think we have some Billion potential in 2023: 1) Ant-Man Quantumania - If this movie is great, I think the breakout potential of this one is huge. Ant-Man is bigger. Kang is coming. It's BHM. Tell you this. If this is a GOOD MCU movie, this reaches 1B. Probably won't go 1.1B 2) Super Mario - If this movie is good, has a great entertainment value for children plus the immense fanbase of Mario and Nintendo and a China release, I say it gets there. 3) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - This to me is a SAFE bet. I think it's going to be a really good and emotional movie. The goodbye to this roster of Guardians. I say 1.2B 4) Fast X - Fast 9 sold me. With a China release date, movie theaters doing much better, I think the title alone adds something and with the huge cast joining...I think this makes a Billion. Unless this movie stinks hard, I think it makes a B. 5) The Little Mermaid - Memorial Day Weekend. It's going to be a BIG musical. Lin Manuel Miranda is on it. This feels like such a Summer winner. If it's good, It gets to a Billion. 6) Indy 5 - I was lower on this days ago but I'm starting to feel that this will be huge. Specially Domestic. If this a great Indy movie, it's a beast unleashed. Faith in Mangold. 7) Mission Impossible: DR P1 - Tom Cruise is hotter than ever. I sense a lot of good will and excitement will jump from TG to MI. Also, this is a big franchise already and I'm getting confident on a Billion on this. 8) The Marvels - If this movie is really good, I think it makes it. 9) Blade - Again. If this movie is really good, this could be a big breakout hit and bring the Black audiences in droves like Black Panther me thinks. 10) Aquaman 2 - I think this movie will replicate the 1st success. Or even more. Not saying all these will happen. But I think they have the most potential to do it. I wonder if we will ever have a 2019 again. That was madness. 2023 doesn't seem like another 2019 but it does look MUCH better than this year. Same for 2024 already. 2025 will be interesting. 2 Avengers movies. Another 2 MCU movies that could make a Billion just by default and hype carry. I also think we will definitely get a Star Wars movie in 2025 if there isn't one in 2024. And the other studios is something to be seen. It's very early. But 2025 more than 2023 and 2024, does have a real potential for the next 2019-like year.

You need help

I think his point is no one gives a crap about leaks.

I'm thinking Aquaman 2 will move to December 2023 and Shazam 2 will take its place in March. I don't know what that would mean for The Flash tho.

Oh yeah. That could definitely do it.

Iger could be the CEO, I think that would have gone to streaming still. Predator is a failure of a franchise. If it had chance of coming back, it would be on streaming.
