KD has a director and writer attached; why would they delay KD for the rumoured projects that don't have writers and directors attached? Because they should ditch the writer who just delievered a trash film that caused the franchises' biggest second weekend drop in history. I doubt the film is that far into pre-production that they can't do some major creative changes like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonePirate Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I am not pleased with the slow rollout of the Cocaine Bear reviews. It's after 1 PM on the east coast and RT only has 8 reviews from critics and none from its Top Critics. At least all 8 of the reviews so far are fresh so this might be a fun little crowd pleaser that can squeeze in a lot of showings with its brief runtime.

I do wonder how much SoCal box office will be impacted by the cold wave we are set to have this weekend. Again 'cold wave' is very relative when talking about Southern California versus the rest of the US, but cold+rain is not weather anyone in SoCal wants to venture out during. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t disagree that it was out there, just not to a degree to really shift behavior in the day-to-day sense … in that even those worried about it were still gathering at a Church dinner (travel, different story). Really Italy’s degrading situation was the first real red flag, and that was very end of Feb into March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth 100-200K though. Even accounting for that it would still be a poor number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audiences expected better from AM and Thor since those had well liked predecessors, it's possible they could see something similar will happen with Guardians and decide to skip out. I don't think it will hit Guardians too hard though since those movies are some of the most beloved films in the MCU, and they're generally standalone compared to the other films. 3 seems to continue this trend so it might be more approachable for audiences. But again, you make too many bad films in a row even the good films can get affected by them. Transformers, DC, Star Wars multiple times. If Guardians gets a bad response then stuff is gonna get really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, if the outlook doesn't improve soon, this 2nd weekend drop will be one for the ages lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be even big paycheck to RDJ and/or Evans could help big time. With Multi-verse no one is really dead 🙂 I mean first of all RDJ/Evans left. They;ll get numbers returning for a big film but Marvel can’t sustain off that. They need their other characters and films succeeding. 43 minutes ago, John Marston said: Trouble for Marvel ahead. GOTG 3 will be a hit but stuff like The Marvels? Cap 4 without Steve? Thunderbolts? None are guaranteed smashes Marvels will struggle. It’s another franchise they;ve twisted into larger story telling but this time with an anchor around Captain Marvels neck in the shape of two unpopular tv characters, Cap/Thunderbolts will be interesting. If they are quality then I could see a weaker opening but with better legs. They should be more grounded/winter soldier like (I hope!) - but Cap has a lot to prove, I don’t find Evans replacement charasmatic. I still think 2024 looks better than 2023 minus Guardians. It’s at least more stand alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I somewhat agree with this, in that my view is that both the Kang-driven fan rush and holiday helped boost the OW, and now we’re seeing it come back down to earth Just think it’s less of a GA rejection, more of a loss of potential, and it will leg out fine after the apparent crash this upcoming weekend & week, in part because of absence of alternatives. Have heard from too many people (many unprompted) that liked it, but there’s really no rush now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
