I find takes like that tweet so baffling. A decade of unprecedented cultural hegemony has clearly broken (some) fanboys' brains. -
Yes, Sony did very well with that one. 🙂
-
I haven't seen any of them but audience reception felt in line with critics for the first two. I don't think anyone can claim critics are hard on MCU films generally. They treat them as the entertainment products they are.
-
I've only skimmed the reivews, but is that the actual complaint here?
-
So far so expected.
-
Checking in only see how Bale is and whether this is worth catching on D+
-
I've googled that and found nothing. I find it very unlikely he'd say that given how old animation is.
-
Martin Freeman was the reason the first fim made so much money. Hard to imagine many people getting excited if he's not in it.
-
Plotting has always been a mess on this show. They know everyone will binge it so they've never had the discipline to tell their stories episodically - the credits are placed arbitrarily and seasons feel like a giant, unweildly blobs.
-
Don't complain about a lack of nuance straight after claiming people are saying the MCU is imploding. They aren't, and it isn't. But a relative lull after the biggest event movie ever combined with Disney+ saturation was inevitable and it's ok to acknowledge that.
-
Evans and RDJ will come back at some point. It'll be an obscene payday.
-
Can't believe this comes out in over a year. WB will be very happy with the early hype but that's a helluva long time to sustain meme marketing.
-
I'd interperet that tweet as 'this film is for kids and that's ok'. So you agree with him.
-
Straight people did lose in the UK - Mamma Mia was the highest grossing film ever here for years.
-
I guess instantly forgettable netflix movies are good paydays that probably don't take long to film or promote so fair enough, I stand corrected.
-
The fuck else is he going to do?
-
Huh, that's a lower opening for Elvis than I thought it might get, but I guess good legs are a given.
-
Trying to think of another actor in living memory who snatched defeat from the jaws of victory this much. Yeah ok the Fantastic Beasts franchise is a lame duck and DCU was/is a clusterfuck but there was a mountain of goodwill for Miller before all this and important people decided he could carry a blockbuster.
-
Is Oppenheimer - a period, talky movie presumably aimed at adults - expected to make lots of money? I know its budget is a reported hundred million (god knows how) but that's not exactly much by Nolan standards and Universal probably see it as a price worth paying to have a working relationship with him.
-
Does this show the boring but necessary moments of Elvis really honing his craft or is like every other music biopic where it's a lighting bolt moment and suddenly he's a superstar (followe by a montage)?
-
Has the Gaga song actually been a success on its own terms? Usually when a movie song blows up (eg Frozen) even I end up hearing it one way or another, but not this one.
-
This is one of those 'nobody predicted it but in hindsight is seems so obvious' runs. Cruise at the height of his M:I goodwill + older audiences desperate for a reason to get back to the cinema. Still incredible, either way.
-
Haven't been following the numbers but I didn't realise 1 billion was even in question. The trilogy had a not dissimilar trajectory to the Star Wars sequels, then.
