Splitting Mockingjay into 2 movies was stupid.

Artistically, yes, but it paid off at the box office.

And the Eras tour movie is only a few weeks earlier.

Eras will not be a factor by the time this releases

If the movie flops Zegler would be on a 4 movie-long flop streak. I hope it doesn't tank her career like what happened to Taylor Kitsch after Battleship and John Carter.

Taylor had already had a pretty bleh career prior to those films. And those films were ripped by critics.

 

Zegler has been in... 2 films. One was a critical hit but weirdly never caught on with audiences. The other was caught up in the death of the DCEU. 

 

Her career will be fine even if both this and Snow White flop. As she's shown to have been the brightest spots of the films she's been in so far.

Oh sick i didn't know schwartzman was playing Mortdecai in this.

Zegler has the vibes of either going the Mike Faist indie route, stuck in a Disney+ Star Wars show, or in some Netflix series/movies that nobody here watches but also keeps getting renewed a bunch. But like...I'll be watching I guess.

[SpiderByte]

There's a low chance they'd do it this far into the series, but I wonder if the series would ever pivot to an R rated entry. The books, as written, are much more gory and horrifying in the violence than the movies are.

I still want to see Haymitch’s games. 
Maybe a 45-minute special presentation where Joanna Mason just glared at Blight (whatever his name was).

I disagree actually. I think a well marketed singular finale with better reception than either part could have hit the 1-1.1b range WW. Now that’s like 300-400m less than the two parts combined did, but think of all the money saved making and marketing one film vs two.

Without the games in Mockingjay, I feel like it would’ve been difficult to match the highs of Catching Fire.

Guess studios are trying to get the most out of a quiet October before Swiftamania takes over for the rest of the month

It’s weird they’re doing this during the first weekend of The Eras Tour and a random Wednesday.

Are they planning on charging full price for tickets?

 

I enjoy seeing movies on the big screen, but only in a rare few will I be willing to pay full admission price these days ($14.50 now, more for 3D or VIP).

 

I like when they have the Flashback Film Festival each year where there is a decent selection of movies over 1 week and admission was just $6 the last time I went. I saw Pulp Fiction, Jaws, Battle Royal, Lord of the Rings, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Gremlins I believe.

 

I'd see THG for a discount, but not full price, although I did pay full price when the showed Avatar before Avatar 2 released.

It’s a Fathom Event, so it actually costs a bit more than a regular ticket.

Also Fathom means they will be playing the Bluray versions of movies with crappy video and audio issues.
