are the under-performances there because the marketplace sucks for Godzilla right now?

the market place didn't suck though for John Wick's 50+ OW...

For me, it's more of a franchise thing. I don't particularly like the movie, but I'm rooting for the Monsterverse in general to continue and flourish.

Me too, that's why I'm hoping for good legs atleast so that it benefits GvK.

Lol why does Disney get brought up every time another studio’s movie underperforms? It’s not like Disney is immune to underperforming movies. We’ve had multiple in the past 2 years. Disney gets blame when Disney movies underperform. Disney gets blame when non-Disney movies underperform.

People want a black and white world, they want villains to root against to feel better about themselves, they were raised by Hollywood movies so they don't know much about the shades of grey of life.

I consider this to be a mild setback for the Monsterverse. GvK will be the movie to make or break it. I'm still optimistic about good legs for this one, too.

I googled to see what Shah Rukh Khan was up to.

 

What on earth is this?

6 years ago and the record was eventually broken in 4 months after that, and its not even in Top 10 Grossers anymore.

 

After that, he has 6 releases, 5 out of them are FLOPs. 6th one was crap, saved by good opening.

It was a movie about someone who was more powerful than Thanos with full Infinity Gauntlet.

 

In short it was a movie they is best left forgotten. We do not talk about this movie.

Which is something you often see in Disney movies, interestingly.

They love Bollywood because they haven't had the taste of real quality of Hollywood.

 

Hollywood bad is better than Bollywood good.

Didn't the lead actor for that publicly apologize for it while it was still playing in cinemas?

No..we first met in film school.. they were my class mates:)

 

They loved both and rooted for bollywood alot.. but you could see correlations and familar pattern connected to pushing it too far.. people's eyes squirm/change..cant wait for a 24/7 intwrnal lie detector with red flags for everyone to see^^

That description only gets me more excited.

 

I’ve been wanting to see another Indian epic since I witnessed the glorious Baahubali.

 

 

(I think about this scene a lot)

[Valonqar]

I can't find numbers,can someone pin them please?

 

But anyway, if Zilla is bombing, why would GvK do better with practically the same cast (that didn't draw audience first time around) and the same monster (that didn't draw audience either)? Just because Kong is in it? Kong Skull Island had SLJ so unless GvK ups the star power, fat chance.

Maybe because disney is showing HOW not just WHAT.. they are trying to show us not only what is wrong, but how to fix it..... its like the difference between indigo children and crystal children... former recognizes the problems(cynic), the latter sees how and seeks to improve it/change it..

KotM paid for the sins of its predecessor. GvK will (ideally) reap the reward of KotM's good deeds.

And Solo made less than 200 OS. TFA result doesn't matter at this point.
