@JB33 Where did this left vs right shit come from over Wilde asking for people to go see the movie? I think you're reading way too much in that tweet. Not everything in the world involves politics, she is simply asking people to go see her film. She's allowed to promote her own flick. 

It came from people's reaction to me not agreeing with the tweet. With these things there's NEVER any agree to disagree. There's just not cool reactions and snark. That's most definitely a left thing. You either agree with or believe this or you're an outcast. It's a bigger thing that arose as the discussion went on.

 

As far as the tweet goes, I just disagreed with including the political agenda unless it's PROVEN to be relevant in that context. She or I don't know what conclusion the studio will come to when they see the numbers so it's best just not to even go there. That is all I'm saying.

This is a tad premature for 2019; got like 4 months before this is essentially finalized for the first half of 2019 when the new May-June releases runs are done. Aladdin will get in there but it's not been such a great time outside of super top-end.

How people can make a mountain out a molehill from a simple and innocuous tweet is beyond me. There's absolutely nothing wrong with what Olivia said.

 

Why do people take others' words, twist them to suit their own interpretation while applying disingenuous context and then blame the "evil liberals/lefties"? That was rhetorical of course but we see this crap all the time from those who scream at the top of their lungs about the "left". They did it to Brie Larson's calls for more inclusitivity in the press junket/circuit before Captain Marvel premiered and they do it whenever they get even the slightest possible hint of someone possibly referencing the idea of representation and equality brought up in any medium of entertainment. 

 

Gets tiring having to explain that what someone has misinterpreted is not what was actually stated.

Well this has developed... well.

I don't see anything wrong with the Wilde tweet. I don't think she's making it a "gender thing" of "oh no we're being attacked by the corporate baddies" but instead she's just using the end of her tweet as a marketing thing. To anyone who sees the tweet who might not know what the movie is or really care to see it, and they see "a movie made by and about women" might prompt mother/daughter dates etc.

Alright everyone, lets get off of the agenda wagon and back on to knocking @baumer for believing TLK won't make a billion worldwide

Don't get me started over all that shit. Was satisfying to see CM make shittons of money and it turns out online people who talk to themselves on a video had no effect on the box office and the MCU juggernaut.

@Charlie Jatinder @RtheEnd You saved us in the Battle of Endgame and now I plead for you in our most desperate hour.  You're our only hope!!!

[ScoobyDoo21]

What is going on? Oh don't tell me. Internet Nerds gettting mad about something that they exaggerated in their heads again like they did with Brie Larson.

Is Dumbo an underperformer for Disney? 

[ScoobyDoo21]

Pretty sure it was. But was it really that shocking. Dumbo is a property that really not many care about. Tim Burton post 1999 didn't help any though.

Yeah though it wouldn't be had the budget been around $100M instead of $170M.

RE: billion dollar films

 

Lots of space for some $1B+ films available. So far there's only 2 this year.

I came to see people talk about Aladdin exceeding expectations, not dissecting a tweet.
