  1. I said it time and time again that day and date impact is not as people think. People that want to watch a movie in theaters will watch it regardless. And i said FNAF a day and date movie would be bigger than KOTFM a theater exclusive and Got Warnings points and threats of being banned forever from Eric. And The drop will surprise people too. Peacock Impact was basically none. I fact Subscribed to Peacock. Watched the movie. Liked it. Will watch it PLF again, so Universal gets double the money they would not.

    At some point people that talk about box office seriously need to understand that shitting on Marvel Studios ad nauseam wouldn’t result on the return of Martin Scorsese’s own version of MAGA. 
     

    I’ve already made my position quite clear on this very board before, ironically, while I was replying to you once again randomly mentioning me:

     

     

     

     

    I don’t really care if it’s Marvel Studios production or any other making money, either WB’s Barbie or Universal’s Oppenheimer. Hell, I don’t care if it’s Blumhouse’s Five Night at Freddy’s either. My point and I’m pretty sure that I’ve been fairly consistent on that is that shitting on what is popular is a self-inflicted wound and hurts movie theaters in the long term. It’s not good for the industry, and I don’t care if it’s Scorsese or a bunch of film snubs saying it. At same convo from back on Father’s Day, I replied to a post that suggested that ‘the death of cinema’ wouldn’t be a great loss if more and more films performed like Marvel Studios or blockbuster films:

     

     


     

    I  think it’s quite ironic and actually a good thing to happen for this stupid discourse to finally go away that a Martin Scorsese film is bombing while a videogame film that is review embargoed until after it’s released on streaming is getting all the hype and yet again the death of Marvel Studios has been declared and superhero fatigue non sense talk is getting thrown around because of The Marvels tickets tracking. 
     

    It’s not Marvel Studios fault or those that watch Marvel Studios films  that Scorsese’s or ‘real cinema’ films bomb. It’s not the audiences fault the perceived lack of interest on the latest Marvel Studios film. The film market is regulated by what the audiences want to see it at the big screen. And that’s a good thing, always. Trashing what is popular only hurts the movie theater moviegoing experience, and that’s what I believe it can’t go away.

     

    There will always be a popular thing until well, there isn’t and the movie theater experience as we know it goes away. What I don’t want is the popular experience of watching movies to get trashed to the point that movie theaters go the way of the opera or live theaters experience. We need popular films. Either by Marvel Studios or anything or anyone else. From Taylor Swift to Five Night at Freddy’s. That’s what keeps the brick and mortar movie theaters lights on. Trashing them because your prestige film can’t find an audience only hurts the movie theater experience in the long run. 

    Your 100% right this forum is acting testicles and ovaries hurt and is pilling on you.

    As a huge sci fi fan, serious sci fi sadly isn't in these days. Unless your movie is directed by Cameron. I wish we could receive a million more original sci fi epics.

    Sadly NOT. The Martian was successfull, Ex Machina for its budget was successfull. It depends. And there are Streaming Services. Did you watch Severance?

  4. Remember when you gals and guys where mad because of telling you during Barbie and Oppenheimer that high box office was probably over because people watch maybe only 1-5 films at cinema. And the meltdown when Five Nights at Freddy becomes the new succesffull one and you people probably will talk crap about streaming, while all these theater only movies flop. These non Barbie Oppenheimer, Mario, and possibly Marvel movies.

    IMAX worthy?

    Cinematography and VFX are good. Although more Dolby Cinema 2.39:1 worthy than IMAX maybe, because the movie is like The Hatefull Eight Ultrapanavision 70, Wide Wide. It will be letterboxed even on a ~2.39:1 screen but less letterboxed than IMAX.

    Where did you get that?

    20th Century  FOx has been 20th Century Fox since  1934 as a result of a merger between two studios 20th Century studios and Fox Studios. DId not change, as far as I can tell until it became 21st Century Fox

    I hated that movie because it butchured the Isacc Asimov classic so badly.

    .

    I know the history of 20th Century Pictures and Fox before the merger, Fox made Sunrise a Tale of 2 humans. The rights became part of 20th Century Fox once the merger, then Disney rebrand and the like. Just saying is the same company and companies keep rights to scripts lots of time.

    I haven't watched any trailers of this movie, but I did see an excerpt that it was one of the best sci fi movies of the decade.  

    Does anybody know if it's IMAX worthy? 

    Watched no trailers neither, and watched the movie and Ughh what could be told? Well, art is subjective, maybe you like it who knows.

    How many of them cost 80m? Yeah they will keep making originals but it's gonna all be low budget stuff if they keep on flopping with decent sized budgets unless it's a mega name director (nolan, etc) who wants to make one 

    Lots of them, Ad Astra was more expensive, Babylon, Reminescense, The Northman (70 million budget). All on that budget ballpark. those movies are basically tradition every year.

    by original people mean not based on source material/popular franchise, not that its doing something thats never been done before, star wars took ideas from dune and kurosawa movies but that doesn't mean its not original. 

    Hollywood never stopped doing these kinds of movies. Major studios release like 5 of these films yearly. These comments of they dont do it, is unfounded and bad perception because of those who perform good at the box office. Every Major Studio has like  Arthouse division, Disney/20th Century Studios has Searchlight, Universal has Focus Features, Sony has Sony Pictures Classics. Paramount Always yearly releases art films, Warner Bros Always does middle films even with Zaslav. Etc, etc. They are not on peril.

    I’m guessing this movie won’t fare all that well with the general audience, which would be a shame, because it flopping would only serve to further convince Hollywood that they shouldn’t take chances on anything that’s not part of an established brand. 

    Why every standard movie that is not a comic book movie here is said to be some original blah blah when this was typical Hollywood masala movie. Nothing bad about that.

    I maintain what I’ve said about covid helping the first if anything. Got to be one of the first spectacle movies in the theaters when people were willing to start going back. Dune by nature is extremely niche, and the movie was not accessible. I think people are kidding themselves that the GA has big interest, and the gap hurts things more since the first ends with the intent that part 2 is right around the corner. 

    You are 100% percent right, they just too fanboy for Dune to see the TRUTH. In fact the only reason Dune got that sequell was thanks to HBO MAX viewership. No matter what excuses you people pull of your behinds, Theater Only movies were not performing great on that era. Remmember Shang Chi was being healed like a massive success yet it only made a bit more than Dune and remmember Eternals?. It was not till No Way Home that things began to change. And General audiences are talking how they "fell" asleep on IMAX, or HBO MAX subtitles made the dialogue bearable, because that movie was like Tenet Sound Mixing on a good amount of cinemas. A good amount of General Audiences found it Boring. Now it's getting a week or 2 of IMAX instead of 4 to 7 it was going to get, FAIL. And that was one of the selling points. Possible Flop incoming.

     

    Scott Mendelson has a good article on how Day and Date Box office impact was not that big on Covid Box Office, how people make excuses for movie that would not perform good no matter what. When Gojira vs Kong did well compared to other Monsterverse movies and was when theaters had seat restrictions.

     

    Get this fact. The highest Grossing Disney only Movie of 2021 was Black Widow because they did near 400 million plus 125 on Disney Plus (they did not have to share with theaters). And Black Widow was not well received overall, some people found it underwhelming. If the Movie was more like Winter Soldier it would perform better. Expectations were high for Marvel. The TV shows were goood. After Endgame they came with Wanda Vision, Falcon And WS, lok, What if. People were expecting quality and Endgame level. Or at least Winter Soldier. And more Action. And then Black Widow came, not bad in perspective but on that time it was MEH or worse for an amount of people.

    This is going to bomb spectacularly without at least a holiday boost (not to mention Oscar buzz from that time of year), mark my words. 100% on board under DOM and OS from part 1. 

    You might be right, Box Office is DOA. This forum gonna be in SHAMBLES.

    Still 125M more than it would have made on streaming lol so that’s a plus. 
     

    Let’s see how it does on VOD/Max… have a feeling it’ll do good there because we’ll studios have trained audiences to not go the theaters unless it’s a big event lol

    You mean opposite, Movies do not get released on theaters for free. They have to do 150 milli9n dollar campagaing worldwide, secure IMAX theaters, make like 3000 theater prints, digital but still like what 150 per hard drive, etc, etc. Relasing it on PVOD would have saved money, now on theaters when it releases on pvod, who will care for the movie?. Remmember Boack Widow made more money than Shang Chi and Eternals 125+~379, ~504, plus still did well on PVOD plus other venues, at COVID period.
