  1. Yeaaaah Mulan doesn't count in that context. If anything it proves the point: Disney didn't think the movie was viable in theaters anytime soon.
  2. On the contrary: videogame pricing, in particular microtransactions, is a massively contentious issue. For every GTA V there's a Fallout 76. Players are getting much more savvy about being ripped off. Also, try being a 5 hour indie game selling at a triple A game price and see how far you get.
  3. Do they? Apart from maybe iPhones I struggle to think of many products whose demand isn't greatly determined by their price.
  4. You're reading waaay too much into that. I doubt Europeans have any clue, much less care, where the tale originated from (they didn't when the animated film came out). All that matters is when the virus makes cinemas viable again.
  5. That fake Disney+ account announcing BW coming to streaming has already fooled way too many people I know on twitter.
  6. It's amazing how two people can watch the same film and have completely opposite takeaways. (The sea did look cold though, I'll give you that.)
  7. Define 'doubter'. Do you think it's going to make as much money as it would have in normal times? What's the benchmark of this summer release being worth it?
  8. "Select cities"? I did joke before that Tenet's release schedule was as good an indicator as any of how the US was dealing with Corona, but this is taking it up a peg...
  9. Perhaps I'm projecting - no pun intended - but I'm really not seeing a big demand here in the UK for cinemas to reopen (other than from cinemas themselves) . It's just not something anyone I know talks about. Any movie releasing this year is taking a massive financial bath and its basically an act of charity.
  10. Still don't think WB will go for a staggered release. I expect they'll soon admit defeat and copy Disney.
  11. Isn't Covid just going to quicken a process that was already happening? Ie. mid-budget movies utterly screwed and theaters mainly catering for just a handful of anointed blockbusters? That was already a lousy state of affairs but I agree that in the scheme of things the pandemic doesn't change much on that front.
  12. The movie should move to next year because it might actually be quite good and doesn't deserve to be forever associated with corona anxiety. I'm honestly surprised it hasn't become a meme already.
  13. Just announce it for next year, FFS. I'm getting embarrassed on their behalf. (And yes, everywhere. Lockdown is technically over in the UK but I guarantee it wouldn't make a quarter of what it would have in normal times if comes out here this summer. The appetite for cinemas has not returned yet.)
