Why do they ban R-rated stuff? But tbh no China (or a veeery minimal China gross) is kinda a good thing because in the very slim chance this somehow gets over Joker WW 1.075B it will be honorably instead of via the China cop-out. I have a theory that most of the big studios have resigned themselves to the fact that things are getting worse between CHina and the West all the time, and eventually western moviers will be shut off from Chinese theaters, and have decided to stop catering to the whims of the CCP for that reason, which I think is good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderByte Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 This releasing on SDCC weekend could bring insane momentum for Marvels other releases if it lands well. Especially since they'll be coming off of the goodwill from X-Men 97 as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like that for the non-Coogler/Gunn/Black/Waititi MCU joints Are people just acting like Reynolds and Levy haven't been collaborators for ages or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why R rated movies struggle to get in to China more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HummingLemon496 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Run time is 2 hours 10 minutes DS2 - 2h 6m (bad audience reception) Thor 4 - 1h 59m (bad audience reception) BP2- 2h 41m (good audience reception) AM3 - 2h 5m (bad audience reception) GOTG 3 - 2h 29m (good audience reception) The Marvels - 1h 45m (bad audience reception) I know correlation doesn't equal causation but it seems like recently, short run time = B range audience reception, long run time = A range audience reception Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want this movie to be bad and underperform? The concern trolling is getting annoying. It's like you are willing it to happen. DP 1 108 minutes and DP 2 119 minutes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I do not want it to underperform. But my concerns aren't that overdramatic after the last 6 MCU movies all did poorly in some way.

But my concerns aren't that overdramatic after the last 6 MCU movies all did poorly in some way. (Or, I'd rather be an optimist and be proven wrong than a pessimist and proven right) === To put it a different way, add up all the days you're down-in-the-dumps/worried about the prospects of a movie/project. Then compare that to the immediate aftermath one way or the other. Do all of those days worrying about something really make up for the "wow, I feel relieved that it wasn't sucky" feeling afterwards? Maybe. But not for me. And how long does that feeling last before you're worried about the next thing that you think will underperform. See, that's the problem with "expecting disappointment" mindset, you're always in a fatalistic mood. And that's just not for me. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WittyUsername Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 130 minutes would make this the longest Deadpool movie by a decent margin. Not every superhero movie needs to be two and a half hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
