If Sony had a shred of confidence in this, they would have bumped it to May (where a Marvel movie, whether Disney, Fox, or Sony, has kicked off the Summer for every year the last 20 years) rather than keeping it in February.

 

Expecting Morbius-tier reviews.

May is packed right now anyway, but it doesn’t matter, because this is obviously going to bomb.

This timetable makes sense considering the red carpet premiere is February 12.

 

Considering the talks of potential walk-ups for Madame Web on V-Day, I'm half expecting more of those walk-up audiences to opt for the Anyone But You V-Day special release since it's a more V-Day friendly movie and those audiences having likely already seen it, it's a movie they already know they enjoy vs. Madame Web which they risk not enjoying for V-Day. I can't help but feel like the potential stinker they have with Madame Web is why they're doing a special V-Day release for Anyone But You since they're from the same studio.

It won't bomb as heavily as Argylle considering the budget.

Not *every* year for the past 20 years. 2004-2006 didn't kick off the summer movie seasons with Marvel movies. And then there was 2020 and 2021 for obvious reasons.

Anybody not wearing Spiderman/CBM fan blindes shoud have seen this had bomb written all over it from day one.

And SONY is clearly dumping this keeping marketing money to a minimum. The idea they are saving up for a huge last minute push is pretty silly.

Must be Fifty Shades fans.

Seeing lot of ads geared towards Sydney Sweeney especially with the reasons to watch the movie clip lol.

The notion that they're doing it to hide spoilers is silly. Infinity War and Endgame were considered pretty spoiler heavy and both of those movies had their embargoes drop three days before release, not one day.

Has anyone even suggested that they’re doing this to hide spoilers? I haven’t seen anyone assume that. As far as I can see, pretty much everyone is expecting this to be garbage.

I’ve seen some say they’ve heard that.

[Mad Max007]

Wonder if she thought it was the same franchise lol.

We’ve seen the cast do promos for the movie and I’m sure we’ll see more people at the red carpet premiere on Monday, but Dakota seems to be the only one doing press and interviews. Unless I missed something.

Came to thread to post this but this is the first comment I saw, so I guess..

I just read that a theater chain will add 214 reward points to members' accounts if they buy tickets to see the movie on V-Day, which they say is not being done for Bob Marley.
