Point being, it isn't that multiverse is popular like people demand it, just that some properties do it right. Disney hasn't been one of them (NWH and Spiderverse are Sony). 

 

Marvel Studios also co-produced NWH.

 

They also made Loki and Dr Strangec2 which were both successful. 

 

The only multiverse misfire was Ant-Man 3.

how does this sound for a video game adaptation?

a remake of Doom from 2005 and recast Karl Urban and Dwayne Johnson.  that would be such an awesome movie!

Scream 6 officially passes the unadjusted US grosses of Scream and Scream 2 this weekend, becoming the highest grossing film in the franchise. 

 

A -38% 5th weekend drop.

Detective Pikachu is a movie you make after making three other Pokémon origin stories. Choosing that first to establish the franchise on the big screen was a mistake imo. Pokémon absolutely have broad appeal, both to kids and adults, just not for this spin-off.

 

Detective Pikachu, a noir buddy cop movie starring R-rated Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds, confused a lot of families. They did not go see that movie. Also, the trailers made it seem more adult than it is, so people expecting a more adult tone left the theater disappointed because it’s a kids movie and the people that were supposed to see it (families) did not go as stated by the reason above.

Also, for the movie itself, I didn’t enjoy the dialogue very much. It suffered from a bad case of exposition trying to explain the series concepts. It felt very much like a shonen anime with too much talking and explaining. This wouldn’t be a big problem if there were other movies establishing the concepts beforehand. I also thought the actors were about 3–5 years too old. The dialogue doesn’t sound like someone of that age talking, but rather younger. I hope that makes sense. Another big problem is that the Pokémon designs were not my favorites. They should’ve kept the iconic designs instead of changing them to look more realistic. The movie needed to be more bright and colorful in general. It is very much a WB production (Harry Potter, DC, etc. all had that grimy look), and that doesn’t really fit Pokémon. Pokémon is out exploring the green grass, the blue sky, and the sea. A color palette like Moana would fit very well.

Mario is a very faithful adaptation, retaining all the iconic visual designs and the narrative beats.

As for the pop songs, the series was already heading in that direction by having vocal tracks. Super Mario Odyssey (the latest mainline game) had pop songs, albeit originals written specifically for the game. So yes, the movie is very faithful.

 

I liked Detective Pikachu, but yeah, Mario is way better

They're reporting that Sat is 56.8m. Is Universal just going low to be safe or was the 58m from last night a bit optimistic?
