The real problem is families don't want to go to default movies anymore because it's too costly. You need juicy IP even for them (Mario) to get them in the door. Just "movie about cute talking animal" won't get them to dump like 50 bucks on family tickets. Because of that teens are easier to target with buzzier animation since (some) of them actually have money.

What would it take for Hollywood to actually start losing screens to foreign films? Most of the wide releases save Iron Claw look like turds and I'd rather see Heron or Minus One again. I STILL don't have Poor Things and I'm sick of this junk eating up real estate.
-
Most of the fanbase WANTS to forget Kang considering how poorly Quantumania went over. Also I don't seem to recall Thanos debuting by jobbing out to Ant Man. Marvel couldn't have debuted Kang worse if they had intentionally botched.
-
No one wants "depth" we want smashy and UNICRON. Enough timey wimey ball bullshit, give us GALACTUS and SILVER SURFER
-
Honestly, Majors getting fired is a good thing. Kang should be dumped as well, it should have been pretty obvious from Quantumania that this storyline would have killed the MCU if Kang had been treated as the primary storyline.
-
Yeah, I'm sure Sony is really chomping at the bit to sell superhero rights that actually still make them boatloads of cash and give them Playstation exclusives.
-
If Purple gets crud reviews it'll have a good first week then bomb. Would be a fitting coda to a terrible year overall for WBD.
-
Absolutely nobody cares about The Marvels anymore. Further posts on it are just ragebait. Wish failing to get 100 mil is more interesting.
-
Why do we assume the focus audience approach even works anymore? After all it got us THE GREATEST SUPERHERO MOVIE SINCE THE DARK KNIGHT.
-
Dude, Wonka is already getting more screens at launch than Godzilla or Heron got. It doesn't need Avatar level screens and it can coexist with them rather than dominating the market. Its international launch is "good but not super blockbuster level". It wouldn't benefit the marketplace at all to yank movies for it. Especially since nobody care about Wish.
-
Y'know, if Dune 2 outgrosses this, I will NEVER let the DCU posters have any peace. You know who you are.
-
Why? Wonka ain't Avatar and it shouldn't have every screen.
-
Oppenheimer doing well as it did was a surprise. A lot of the earlier discussion was MI vs Barbie and people didn't know which of those would open higher. Oppenheimer was seen as something that would be lucky to do about 200 mil or so.
-
This wasn't a bad year overall but a horrible year for WB. Only Barbie worked. Literally everything else bombed. If Barbie wasn't the top film we'd be making "when does Zaslav get a helicopter flight" jokes. And I say this because Zaslav can't capitalize off Barbie since no sequel has been greenlit and the cast hasn't been resigned AND the entire DC brand is in the toilet AND the animation community literally hates them because of Coyote vs. Acme's fate.
-
I do think it's worth wondering if having the cast promote Ex4 would have even worked. For it to perform THIS badly speaks more of anti-hype than something that could have easily been fixed.
-
I'm guessing this means no 18 mil weekend? I'm guessing this also means the fanbase is either too old to go to the movies or dead at this point.

WGA/SAGAFTRA Strike Discussion Thread | SAG Ratifies Contract
MightyDargon replied to The Wild Eric's topic in The Speakeasy
1) "If Walt were still here" I'm pretty sure he'd be foaming at the mouth to sic the dogs on the strikers 2) If Netflix has to choose between Oscar eligibility and user access/profits, they'll give up Oscar eligibility. It's all but worthless now in terms of movie success. -
Why the holy hell would Affleck want to re-board this sinking ship?!?
-
Nah because the studio that claims it was "that bad" also claimed Flash was THE GREATEST SUPERHERO MOVIE SINCE THE DARK KNIGHT. WB's quality judgment cannot be trusted.
-
Very, very few Latin American countries consider Jaime Reyes "iconic". I'm sure people will carp about me and call me names on here still even though it's now statistically proven that "make Batman Beyond but cast Terry with a Latino actor" would've been a better path.
-
Plenty of people online were doing so, not sure if they were studio plants or not.
-
Dead people knew Blue Beetle would flop. It was the most predictable thing in the world. (waits for WB to do something stupid like punting Dune and NOT AQUAMAN as a response)
-
I really don't care what the budget is on it as long as it convinces them not to do another Ezra Miller movie.
-
Comedy underperforming while horror still does quite well overall is funnier than most of the material in Hollywood comedies now.
-
And looking at the trailer it looks like a very obvious Spiderverse/Encanto cash-in with all the pandering dialogue choices to match.
