 too bad you feel that way. Most of the people I know that have seen it have actually enjoyed it pretty well

 

HAHA, thanks pal! Glad you enjoyed the movie! I'm seeing reports people are getting piss-in-pants syndrome from laughing so hard. Keep grinding brother!

Saw Alien today. I kinda liked it but had a lot of clear issues. That said, its toxic WOM makes total sense after seeing it lol

Depends on the movie. Big movies most of the time have a set of trailers that have to be played (but there are usually 2 or 3 that are mandatory) so for example something like pirates Disney can pick 3 trailers that they want played so those have to be played. The other 2 can be picked from a select group so there is some choice there (the group you can choose from includes usually films that are similar, so for pirates you could choose any kind of summer blockbuster type movie, you usually wouldn't put Madea Halloween on a movie like Pirates for example).

 

When a movie is a filler however it's a different story, there aren't usually mandatory trailers that have to be played.

 

Dang man I like attaching trailers for fun, that's a good time

If you still can, attach a Ninjago trailer to every release until September.

The box office result suits the film. 

Same thing about POTC5 ... I thought it was worse than the last one.

I don't want to play the blame game, but it's Ridley Scott's fault. :ph34r:

PTHEUS had mixed reception but I did not expect a 40% drop from it's 126 dom for A:C.

 

51/2.5x/126.5 => 36.2/2.15x/78

 

Hindsight is 20/20 but wasn't Blomkamp-Weaver Alien 5 a good idea?

A parallel ALIEN sub-franchise would have helped PTHEUS (and other way around) with some healthy competition...just like say, multiple directors in DCEU will have a positive impact on each other and balance flaws, amplify creativity, etc.

 

Scott would still have been the head but he could have worked on PTHEUS2 while Blomkamp (with Scott as EP) worked on ALIEN with Weaver in parallel.

At one point, I remember reading that the plan was one Alien movie and one Prometheus movie released alternately with Scott doing Prometheus (the prequels) and Blomkamp doing Alien (the sequels). That obviously fell apart.
