I know they are not from the same studios, and TWR is based on a book, but during the whole movie I was just thinking about how this could've been rewriten as a Wall-E prequel (make the main robot one of the same brand as Eve or Wall-E), put some reference here and there, and it could've fited perfectly into that universe and would've been a huge hit.

It passed $1.3 Billion and is now in the top 15 domestic movies of all time

Sonic was huge and the quality was similar to Detective Pikachu

Pokemon was huge as a brand at the time with the Pokemon-Go! game going viral. Can't believe even a film like "Sonic" which was not that big and got similar reception by the public (according to IMDB), got much bigger at the box-office. Probably a September release would've helped it get some good legs, as Fall 2019 didn't get too much all-audiences competition.

Man of steel and which other? 👀

So, this may we've had lots of films dissapointing at the box office, and it's the worst may in years at the BO (obviosly not counting the pandemic). I believe 2023 was way too overcrowded, and 2024 was left too empty from blockbusters, I know the strike is to blame, but let's play "What if?" and re-schedule some releases that you'd think would've made them way more succesful just for the fun of it... I'm starting with a couple of films that tanked both critically and in box office: - Wish: November 2023 had it going against Trolls, if it had been released during late May 2024, it's only competence would be against Garfield, which is easier to beat than Trolls, specially during film summer. Probably wouldn't have been a hit, but would've done a bit better than it did, and enough time for it to shine before Inside out 2. - Indiana Jones: Early May 2024. It would've been perfect to kick the film summer instead of The fall guy tbh, and certaily would've done much, much better than it did in July going against Barbenheimmer. During the summer of 2023, Disney already had Elemental, Haunted house, The little mermaid & GOTG3, so moving Indiana Jones a year wouldn't hurt much it's profits, speacially when the summer of 2024 was so empty for them. - Fall Guy: It's a great fun film, but it was never a big enough film to start the summer, probably August 2024 would've been perfect for it. - Planet of the Apes. April 2024 would've been better for it, as it's only competence would've been "Civil war", I believe both films could've co-existed just fine. Feel free to add other films that would've done better with other release date.

That fake sci-fi movie was an obvious parody to Dune, which was indeed a hit in real life, so...

Can you blame the studios for wanting to cut costs?

Probably will be gone in some part of Riley's mind where they won't make a mess and only visit the main headquarters once in a while or something like that.

If you add the Taylor Swift rumored cameo, then count me in

Tbh, musicals have given him his best chances for Oscars (TGS, Les mis), it's where he shines the most

Half Hollywood was in that movie, so you can't blame Hugh for that

Garfield is a kind of a dark horse, It could ride the Mario & Barbie success wave, but those were brands that hadn't had a big film, unlike Garfield which has had quite a few.

Thanks for the info, didn't know all that. I have never seen The summer I turned pretty or Sex Lives of College Girls, but that probably just means I'm a bit out of touch with the Z Gen 😅. I'm not accepting the Diego Boneta disrespect tho, he's been huge in LatinoAmerica lately with his Luis Miguel series. Besides, he's worked in films with stars the size of Tom Cruise, Schwarzeneger, Alec Baldwin and Milla Jokovich. Angourice Rice's role in Spidey was so small I can barely remember her, and The Nice Guys was actually a really fun film, but it kinda feels like it's been a lifetime since it got released, her role in that film was actually good tho. Love, Victor is one I actually watched and really liked, loved Bebe Wood's role on that show, and definetely didn't recognize her in the new Mean girls promo tho, but now that I did, I don't know, she feels weird in that role, a little off. And yeah, McAdams, Seyfried and Caplan were just rising stars when they appeared in the original film, but LiLo carried all the star power needed for the film, and none of the new cast comes close to the star power she had back then. And I feel this time the stress power is much more needed, considering GP's reaction to what's been released so far has not been very positive, and at least someone like Olivia Rodrigo or Sadie Sink could make them curious for it.

- If they fear a musical will turn people off they should've just remade the original tbh. - This film could've done okayish if they had cast someone with star power to boost the film and get people talking and curious if "X" celebrity will live up to Regina George's name or something. And if they had gotten at least one of the main girls from the original in some important role it would've been perfect. I mean, even the straight-to-video sequel had Diego Boneta on it.
