I never wouldve imagined KOTM mirroring Pacific Rim DOM & WW

 

(With chances of going even lower WW)

This fall looks so much more interesting than the summer it's not even funny. It 2, Ad Astra, The Report, The Hunt from Lindelof, Jojo Rabbit, Doctor Sleep, Ford/Ferrari, The Lighthouse, CATS.

Disney live action remakes vs. Illumination...whoever wins, we lose

Both got a lot in common when you think about it...

Even though he budget is low Illumination spends a ton on marketing. So it could look like a bigger hit than it is if you just look at the budget...

They do but this time around marketing seemed far more muted than for Pets 1 where they were advertising more than a year in advance.  I gather they thought they needed less b/c the first did so well.  But Pets 1 really wasn't a film that lasted in the public consciousness so relying on that supposed goodwill was a mistake.

I hope Deadline are just over-compensating for last Friday's purported 24 OD for KOTM.

Even if that 4 goes up to 4.5, it would be a relief.

 

4.5

6.8 (+50%)

5.1 (-25%)

= 16.4

Time for  a bold, ambitious and creative Godzilla movie done at A24 with a 85 MC.

So, how badly will Minions 2 crater next year from the first one?

[Darth Lehnsherr]

Wow Aladdin really is becoming the go to movie this summer who would have thought?

 

Bad numbers all around but c'mon no one is seriously arguing that SLOP 2 is a flop or anything but the trend from the first one is a cause of concern. They don't want to become like DreamWorks who peaked with the Shrek franchise but couldn't really find anything else to even come close. 

 

Eh Dark Phoenix what a sad (but let's be honest an expected) way for the X-Men to go out.

Hey, Brokeback Mountain was pretty visual. Some of the best I've ever seen.

Brokeback Mountain is one of the greatest movies ever made and I will hear no evidence to the contrary

Solo is still the biggest bomb in recent big budget movie history, and one of the biggest ever.

[filmlover]

Dark Phoenix feels like the exact opposite of Endgame tbh. A completely unceremonious end to an era.

Considering Days of Future Past has flashbacks to X3, you have to include it. Rest can be ignored though

Despcable Me series should end with a movie called GRU that's an r-rated western type thing. idk just a thought.
