The Conjuring too.

These are on a smaller scale but successful new IPs of the 2010's yes.

I suppose there is Jurassic World too, but those happen every 3 years and I doubt they're gonna change that.  Hardly enough to sustain an entire marketplace.

Sure, but the issue is that CBM's are an exploitable IP where you can crank out three a year from one studio and have them dominate the marketplace.  You can't do that with IT 2, which cannot have a sequel/large quantity of spin-off's.

 

They could probably pull an It prequel out of their ass with Pennywise haunting Derry over the decades.

That'll go the way of Fantastic Beasts and lead to diminishing returns. Speaking of which, is WB still doing three more of those?!

I'd be surprised if they don't make the next one the penultimate if not the final one. It'd need a huge turnaround to make it to five.

I don't have a problem with CBMs making what they do, it's that little else seems to be grabbing people.

 

If people do start to get tired of superhero movies, I fear cinema as a whole might just go down with them.

Well, a Queen biopic did just make close to a billion worldwide.

Did WB even appoint a new CEO yet?

The Top Gun cinematic Universe is coming. Miles Teller ready to take your breath away....

Didn't realize that was initially a VG.

It's not. It's based off a Japanese Light Novel, it was just being compared to a video game. That would actually probably make EOT arguably the best live-action manga adaptation, however.

With how 2 did, they might quietly decide to combine 4-5 into 3 and call it a night.

 

 

Anywhooooo.

As with Edge of Tomorrow, if you're not a Tom Cruise fan, you'll really love it.

The sequel will feature Ansolo and we will have officially found the 9th circle of Hell.

Teller was great in Whiplash. Ansolo was good in... nothing so far.

I have a serious question for those of you who understand the ins-and-outs of tracking box office earnings. Endgame's opening weekend introduced us to uncharted territory by defying the "no movie can make 300m in it's OW" framework.  With that being the case, can we really use the traditional understanding of a movie's legs when judging Endgame's week-to-week performance or is some sort of paradigm shift in order?

Teller's actually given a handful of good performances (see also: Rabbit Hole, The Spectacular Now, Only the Brave, Thank You for Your Service), he's just a popular target cause he's apparently a douche in real life lol.

Curios it's Ansolo who has a Golden Globe nom.

 

 

Miles is 32. Ansolo is 25. He has time to improve. However he did get good noticed for his movies. He didn't stink in any of them

 

And i suspect he'll impress in West Side Story

lol even if that movie becomes a major contender, he won't get swept along for the awards ride. There's a reason why that role has never been nominated in any versions (Tony has always been the blandest/most boring character in WSS despite being the co-lead).
