Marvels is probably kaput but two weeks should be good enough for Wish to promote its "human element", especially since the songs are already becoming semi-popular

Marvels is pretty much done. A major box office underperformance will use the strike handicapping its entire promo tour as the cover. Though they might send Brie and the others out to surprise unsuspecting folks at theaters over the weekend for some positive press.

"Abort, abort. This crowd doesn't like the film. Get out of there. We'll try again at the next showing!"

I think Marvels, if it does bomb, would have bombed if there was no strike.

That's such a relief, next year was starting to look so thin for movies and TV, plus the prospect of so many workers spending Christmas in such an uncertain manner sucked, I'm glad that's not happening.

Well, in the US we still have that spectre because of the looming Government SHutdown which seems pretty much a given at thsi point.

One impact of production resuming is that some actors who were booked for theatre roles next year will have to either withdraw from the films or TV shows or withdraw from the play they were planned to do.

There just wasn’t anyway AMPTP could let this go longer without potential ruin for them too next year, so it’s about damn time. Hope AI stuff really got nipped in the bud

NOT THE MARVELS THREAD — BUT TO KEEP IT ON TOPIC:

 

There are degrees of bombage. If the strikes actually materially affected the quality of the movie, which is absolutely plausible if not likely, then yes it could be a contributing factor.  So too could the compete lack of The Marvel Hype Machine for months

 

The idea that an industry crippling pair of strikes didn't have the potential to have a major thumb on the scale for something like The Marvels is... 

 

Maybe we're talking the difference between under-performance and nukes away, but I tend to think that folks who cite the strikes absolutely have more to be right about than not.

 

NOT THE MARVELS THREAD — BUT KEPT IT ON TOPIC:

Joaquin Phoenix hates the press so they might keep him on the sidelines for the Napoleon junkets anyway

[abracadabra1998]

Any word on AI? Some scary things coming out of the AMPTP about it throughout, really hope SAG got the W there

Did he do any publicity for Joker? I think Vanessa Kirby might be easier to send out for press and interviews.

It still seems like it’s too late to truly salvage the 2024 film slate, but what’s really important is that the actors (hopefully) got a fair deal.

And Cillian Murphy, the Universal publicists are going push him to do Oscar campaign stuff like schmoozing at industry parties and hosting SNL during the voting window. He had it so great as a Best Actor frontrunner who didn't have to make any media appearances for months, now the strike is over and here comes Bradley Cooper with the steel chair.

 

Rachel Zegler had that fire Katniss dress all ready for the premiere and she was just one up-and-comer under an interim agreement. The A-listers and their stylists are about to cook!

[Cappoedameron]

I'm curious to see what studios start racing their casts into production. It's Geeked Week on Netflix so it wouldn't surprise if One Piece, Wednesday and Stranger Things casts are asked to do something or say something in like a video
