THE LITTLE MERMAID WEEKEND THREAD

The movie already has a $250 million budget. Bigger stars weren't considered because there isn't any money for it. Zendaya and Gaga aren't feasible. Nor would they have made a giant difference in the end result for a film aimed at young girls. 

 

Gaga mattered when she was copying Madonna over 10 years ago. Zendaya matters because of Euphoria. They don't exist to children. It's dubious that their audiences could be made to care about The Little Mermaid. 

Zendaya is popular with kids because of KC undercover.

It’s a DC movie. When a DC movie comes out, the forum members all act like moronic children. Happens every time.

Not in 2023. She’s popular because of social media.

You meant more Page Count

I'm genuinely hoping Flash does well and keeps increasing in estimates over the weekend just so the trolls leave the thread slowly over the weekend. It's nicer than when a movie comes under expectations.

Yeah... I might skip that Flash weekend thread. Could be a weird whether it breaks out, falls flat or does exactly as everyone expects.

The Barbie/Oppenheimer weekend thread will be good/fun, especially if both movies break out. It’s Twitter/TikTok that I’m worried about; people have been vicious about these movies on those platforms.

All i seen on barbie online is the hey barbie scene is compared to the Jojo Rabbit Hiel Hitler Scene lol

If a blockbuster’s not underperforming I’m probably not interested, but never let it be said that I take sides - marvel, dc, disney, star wars … disappointing numbers from any of them are fine by me. So it’s been a fun few years on here.

Nolan isn’t breaking out with the GA again unless he hitches himself to a popular IP. He has very much settled into an auteur mold, albeit on a bigger core fanbase scale but not casual GA anymore.

Dunkirk made over 500 million worldwide.

The fact Tenet made 363M releasing when it did is also pretty impressive. I remember how strange it felt even being in a theater around that time.

 

When someone coughed in the audience you could feel the tension lol.

[Killimano3]

I really hope Oppenheimer is good, cause I like Nolan a lot but man tenet was one of the worst films I've seen in recent years. It's one of the only movies that I've ever turned off part way through because it felt like a parody of a Nolan movie in how completely nonsense the story was.

No movie in the history of mankind has ever been "necessary" (except maybe Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan).

That feels more like the position Shoah is slotted into and & Best Years of Our Lives > SPR for WW2 film.

Do you guys think an Anastasia live-action (remake?) would be a hit? I feel like there's a big opportunity there and don't understand why Disney never announced anything.
