He rightfully called out EG isn't a serious Oscar contender like everyone was hyping after the record-breaking opening. He is also one of first few that called out Angela Bassett's Oscar win isn't as frontrunner that people see. Saying that a Marvel movie wouldn’t be a real Oscar contender isn’t exactly a hot take. Yeah, there was Black Panther, but that film had a unique cultural significance behind it that the Avengers movies utterly lack. I just don’t know if I can buy that a movie like this would have a shot at a Best Picture nomination. I suppose we can’t rule it out. I mean, District 9 got a BP nod, and Dune moving to next year does leave more room for such a thing, but still, isn’t too early to throw around a prediction like that?

Firepower Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I don't trust Empire City, but I hope it's a good movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much every annoying person on the “insiders” business said it’s great which is kinda funny when you don’t take them seriously. (myself at hearing these reactions that is, not your comment about them, I should add ) Edited September 17, 2023 by Porthos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still embargoed but the letterboxd reactions that have slipped through the cracks have been good. I was worried it would get middling reception, but I think it'll get some solid acclaim now. I'll predict over 80% on RT as of rn. We'll get twitter reactions on like Monday iirc I really hope this can help it build buzz and launch to like a $20m DOM OW. I didn't love the early trailer drops but the recent marketing through TV Spots, posters, and viral marketing like at the Chargers game has been pretty inventive Yeah I wouldn't call that marketing at the chargers game inventive. It's literally the exact same thing "Smile" did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinacolada Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Wasn't the social media reaction embargo supposed to lift on the 18th aka Today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WittyUsername Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) I’m getting more curious about how this will perform the closer we get to OW. I think a lot is resting on this, KotFM and Napoleon. Edited September 19, 2023 by WittyUsername 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandias Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Not saying the movie will be bad but Steven Weintraub practically loves everything, his first reaction tweets are not a good indicator of quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasNicole Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Overall exceptional first bunch of reactions We all know this is always superlative, but seems strong enough to be at 80’s % on RT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasNicole Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I’ve seen some more highbrow ones that liked it but with reservations (which is common tbh for every movie), some complains about some bloating on plot and a bit derivative. But still positive so yeah, nice. And the other ones overall really loved it I would like to post it here but for some reason tweets aren’t incorporating using the phone. I would bet in a reception between Godzilla and Rogue One, so 65-70 on MC and low 80’s% on RT. Of course none of this matters if it didn’t convince people to go to theaters, hoping it can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildphantom Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I feel like ‘from the guy who hid Godzilla from you’ could actually play as some nice viral marketing for this. I mean, what’s to lose right now with its projections? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
