The hierarchy of DC Universe says hi

Strike delays otherwise Deadpool would have been the opener. As it now stands, this is the second time the stars have aligned for a perfect release schedule for an animated movie starring Chris Pratt. A 2.5 month break between KFP4 and Garfield and Apes is the only thing to qualify as a "family" blockbuster since GxK

People wanting Batman in this franchise need to be careful what they wish for. Todd gonna make all those smartass Twitter jokes come true by depicting Bruce as a super narcissistic Elon Musk type who goes one step further to uphold the oppressive structure by running around beating up the impoverished and mentally ill

The Disney Thread | Iger will be with us until 2026

HOLY SHIT, the latest episode of X-Men 97 was fire. If the MCU's version of the mutants will be anywhere as good as it's on this show, then Marvel's back firing on all cylinders. -
The Disney Thread | Iger will be with us until 2026

Yeah I edited my original post. It's just that 1995 was very unique in that a very popular medium that was at the pinnacle of its success was instantly cut down because of an unfortunate letdown that happened at the same time as a brand new medium put out a great film. That obviously led to a decline in interest for the successive hand-drawn films (ugh, what could have been if Hunchback had preceeded Pocahontas). But things won't be as extreme as 1995 so Disney needn't worry about taking creative risks. In fact, I'd say Pocahontas wasn't a risk as it was Disney doubling down on everything that THEY thought made them a critical and awards darling at the time. -

Unfortunately for hand drawn films, the far superior Toy Story happened in the same year as the terrible Pocahontas which led to people subconsciously assuming CGI was an evolved medium than hand drawn. The stars aligned horribly for hand drawn as the drop in quality between TLK and Pocahontas was much worse than an Endgame and Black Widow and even worse than an Endgame and Quantummania. A much stronger film than Pocahontas would have put up a better fight for 2D films. -
It's not the pre-teaser but the timing. Late evening Pacific drops have it harder than early morning drops like the pre-teaser as Asia is already sleeping and it's too late for some of Europe as well. Let's wait for the full 24 hours report IMO. This is obviously gigantic but there are still a few more hours for people getting back from work to view it for the very first time and drive up the ## even more.

Sexism exists ofc and I feel Gaga could have asked for more (unless she has backend deals) but TBF she REALLY wants that Oscar and Phillips is handing a golden opportunity to her on a silver platter which many may not post the Gucci snub which I feel was the elitist Academy telling her to stick to her lane (ditto for JLo and the Hustlers snub). Gaga might even stand a chance to be a double nominee/winner on the same night if she is credited for Best Original Song. So I feel this film and role are doing equally as much for her as she's doing for them. OTOH no Phoenix, no movie. He already got HIS Oscar so he has far less inclination to return, so of course he can ask for whatever he wants.

Civil War | A24 | Alex Garland action thriller | 04/12/2024
Spidey Freak replied to AniNate's topic in Box Office Discussion
Lol if I remember correctly I think she found the real-life scenario around the film to be uplifting with so many incelviduals sympathizing with Joker and making him "feel seen". So I guess you may still be right. -
But the Gunn announcement happened immediately on the Monday after BA OW. Black Adam didn't even get a proper chance tbh In that video I posted, Grace is literally talking about a Gunn/Rock power struggle and she even semi-titled the video Dwayne Johnson vs. James Gunn. She posted the video on Tuesday BEFORE BA release
