  1. I don't see the Marvel vs. DC wars reigniting anytime soon, or at least nowhere near the same intensity of 2015-2021. Mainly because most of the "flame warriors" have turned against their own brands. Snyder bros against WB/DC and anti-wokes against Feige/MCU.
  2. What I find silly is that there's doom and gloom despite the improbability of Civil War and Challengers making as much as they have even PRE Covid. When was the last time a high concept political movie and a sexy tennis movie put up these numbers? Genuinely asking.
  3. Secret Wars coming soon with X-Men and alternate universe versions of dead Avengers
  4. These 2 weeks, the Top 2 is gonna stay MJ dominated
  5. Grace Randolph found this to be pretty "nuanced" and "tasteful" compared to Poor Things and Saltburn so I'm guessing it's on the tamer side unless you don't even watch HBO. Coz that woman was originally scared of the first trailer too and said it felt like a party that got too wild and she'd be calling her mom to pick her up 😝
  6. Don't get what ya'll mean by "audience doesn't dig the multiverse" when the multiverse has always just been an excuse for these team-ups between multiple variations of the same characters. Which ppl are excited for here, so... Loki S2 tried to get pretentiously cerebral about it tho. It works better when you just throw popular characters from different universes together like in NWH and the Spider-Verse films
  7. I think marketing and reviews have done all they can, including capitalizing on a Barbenheimer connection that hadn't even occurred to me. I feel the concept itself of crossing Hollywood stunt action with romcoms doesn't have too large an appeal amongst any one demo
  8. Garfield would have been insanely huge if it had come out this month instead of on Memorial weekend. It will still be big but in April it may have delivered a GxK level surprise
  9. It cost more than Monkey Man, Civil War and Abigail combined and will still lose money
  10. Zatanna seems the perfect fit for them on the horror side of DC. Also helps that Barrera would be fantastic in the lead role.
  11. Sherlock Holmes too. If we're counting streaming then Extraction as well. I, Tonya on a smaller scale? Margot Robbie is an interesting one as I feel people being familiar with her as Harley Quinn did contribute to the successes of both Tonya and Barbie, even if that wasn't the only thing driving ticket sales, especially for Barbie.
  12. I don't see what Shaun Levy and co. stand to gain by playing coy when asked about her instead of flat out denying she's in the film if she's not in the film. She is VERY much a part of the film. It's the extent of her contributions that need to seen.
  13. The MCU is neither dead but neither is it in the same situation as it was in say 2014-2019 where any Z-List character could be catapulted to BO gold. It's in a middle phase where it needs to stick to its most popular IPs, which is what Iger said was the plan anyway.
  14. He believed in his own hype thanks to the Twitter trolls. The Witcher was actually the perfect role that managed to utilize his limited range to the fullest.
  15. Well, obviously movies are not doomed and we are still feeling the after effects of last year's strikes but there's something to be said about a "little girl vampire movie" being thought of as a hard sell when the same studio had insane marketing just a little more than a year ago for an evil little doll movie that helped it break out in JANUARY. Why did Universal's marketing team sleep on Abigail? Where was this energy?
  16. I bet Marvel and Reynolds didn't think they'd have to deal with Tay Tay putting hints in the lyrics of her new album The future's bright, dazzling... are the last words on the album. Seems like a done deal at this point.
  17. Ngl some of these Little Monsters are SPICY. Someone tried to shade Gaga on Twitter by saying Margot remained untouched so one of LG's minions promptly replied saying the only thing untouched were the Birds of Prey tickets 😭😭 The original account ended up deleting their tweet
  18. The original plan was to give Maguire and Garfield much bigger roles in NWH but Maguire held out for such a long time that they had to limit them only to the third act. If things had gone according to the initial plan, maybe Kirsten would have gotten a call.
  19. I keep forgetting about that movie's existence. Doubt the lean schedule will increase interest for it. There's only so much Ryan Reynolds people can take in a single summer.
  20. The hierarchy of DC Universe says hi
  21. I knew it wouldn't be as polarizing as some folks insisted it would be but I still thought there would be a 75:25 Like/Dislike ratio. But THIS? Is insane.
