Zegler looks like a cartoon character. Face is pretty spot on. I just don't care for the costume (not her fault).

I'd take it more seriously if he put a number for the box office vs saying "bomb" - about 1/2 the blockbusters that have come out this year have been bombs, with another 1/4 being financial disappointments, so it's playing the odds to say a blockbuster will be a bomb in 2023.

 

EDIT TO ADD: A post that said "$20M OW, $60M DOM" would be something I'd take way more seriously...and no, those are not my projected numbers (but they would be huge bomb numbers)...

What are people expecting for this anyway? I don't think expectations are that high

That’s Luiz.

 

If Luiz is doomposting you should probably cancel theatrical release and do a write off.

 

Coming from empire it means nothing lol.

This goes to show that for a prequel to work, the original work has to have been fondly remembered. The Star Wars prequels and the Hobbit trilogy were big because their original franchises were pop culture touchstones which ended on high notes. This prequel on the other hand will suffer pretty badly for the sins of Mockingjay and how sour of a taste that left on the fans. I'm honestly surprised both the book and the movie were even made at all.

I don't think the previous movies were bad, and hell this one will probably be received well, I think it's just that it's place as The Current Big Teen Book is well over. It'd be like trying a Twilight revival in 2017.

idk The Youth seem to find Twilight endearing these days.

I wonder if a rerelease of that would do well in theaters.

Twilight has definitely enjoyed a solid post-theater life, even if a decent part of it is the hate-watching aspect for all the ridiculous screenwriting choices and wooden acting from folks (Stewart, Pattinson) who would prove their talents elsewhere. Being a goofy slice of cheese is likely easier to milk for nostalgic entertainment value than something with much greater ambitions like the Hunger Games movies and their thinly veiled political allegories do.

There's been a lot of hate for Zegler going around tiktok lately (yes, it's mostly within sexist/misogynistic circles, but it has sort of evolved into a meme into other online spaces now). If you go on Lionsgate ads for the movie on tiktok, a lot of the top comments are saying things like "I'd go see this if Rachel wasn't in it."

 

Really a shame. One, because people are jerks. Two, Zegler's a great actress. And three, this movie looks really good. I genuinely hope its a hit, and that this little internet sillyness (using this in place of other, more accurate words) doesn't affect the movie's performance.

The Zegler shit is just the Brie Larson shit but now it's against a woman who isn't white so all the racist weirdos are also involved

Fake rumours about her being fired from Paddington spread over to Facebook boomers too. Truly deranged. Why can't people be normal about actresses online.

Rachel Zegler and Brie Larson are toxic personalities around everyone I know. These things used to be Internet only nonsense but it is spreading to real life.

 That is really sad. You need to be around different people then.

I highly doubt most people know who Rachel Ziegler is. She has yet to star in a single successful project. What would she be know for ? Starring in a movie no one saw. lol
