The power of James Gawd. Even the shitty Conjuring spin-offs become Avengers-sized hits. In Portugal, a country that just a few years ago wasn't even that much into horror. Madness.

 

But wait, it actually beat Deadpool, Jurassic World and Fifty Shades? That's impressive as all fuck.

Jurassic World and Fifty Shades by a wide margin. Deadpool by like 500 tickets, but hey, a win is a win. It is gonna end well below it in total, tho.

I don't see how Sony got Venom all wrong but the new spider man man is getting great reactions.

 

Sony don’t make or own those games. Also PlayStation is an entirely different company than Sony Pictures.

That's the thing, if Sony foolishly decide to do Venom 2 and keep everything the same, it'll be TASM2 all over again. Spider-Verse to me makes sense but not something like Kraven or Morbius.

 

 

Venom 2 I think will do fine enough if they keep the budget below $150 like this. I think the sequel's budget will get raised by it a bit, but as long as it stays below $150 I think it'll be fine. However, I think them doing a Morbius movie with Jared Leto has no one excited. Tom Hardy attached to Venom was exciting bc Tom Hardy is an exciting name. I think Jared Leto is a fine actor, he's just not an exciting name at all. That movie has Daniel Espinosa attached to direct who's really hit or miss, but I'd say he's far better than Fleischer at least.

@CJohn is your username a nod to John Cena or is that just a coincidence? Also how come I just realized CJohn......John Cena. Took 2.5 years 

[Zakiyyah6]

People don't give a shit about Jared Leto, especially after he ruined The Joker. You can get people out to see movies based on lesser known comic book characters but they have to look good. I have my doubts that Sony will be able to entice people to see a Morbius movie.

VENUUUM was good by the way, critics off their bloody rocker. Conspiracies will be flying i've thought of a few involving disney.

[Frozen]

Venom was awesome! I don’t know what critics are smoking these days. It was 300x better than Ant-Man.

Morbius doesn't even have the name recognition that Venom has

Which is why it won't cost 100 mil to make like Venom....I hope

BTW welcome back @CJohn

[dxmatrixdt]

halfway into Pacific Rim 2, the first 30 minutes much better than I thought it would be.  

it takes it own world seriously, but now its getting boring and in the B range so i'm going to see if I can get it back up to an A- right now in the last 45 min

If I am alive by then, Avengers probably. I must be here for the inevitable 300M OW.

Because it will vastly underperform compared to your unrealistically high expectations?
