IF any one at Marvel is reading the threads, do yourself a favour by letting Fan4 be the next MCU film after Deadpool 3. If DP3 turns out to be a hit both commercially and critically, and f4 is also a solid film then the good will you generated from DP3 will help F4 a lot. It needs it. Thank me later.

lol come on dude. You know they don't read this shit.

See, I think the examples you're giving are just strengthening my point. They were good logistics managers. You can't do that with every MCU movie because not every MCU movie is or SHOULD be a crossover. The Russos didn't write their Avengers movies, and the dialogue was a fairly weak part for Whedon's 2 Avengers flicks, as well as the very flat, uninspired visual style (he has never been able to grow past 90's-00's TV from that respect).

To get people excited about crossovers, you need strong individual films, and for that you need good screenwriters and directors with a vision and style, working in harmony.

The first Avengers is , 11 years later, still the best MCU movie. Avengers 2 was hampered by too many plotlines that the studio tried to shove in. Just because Joss Whedon is morally benign figure doesn't mean his creations are bad.

They should because at the moment they all look like fools.

I'll be honest, as somebody who loves Hugh Jackman and his interpretation of Wolverine especially, having him back in Deadpool 3 just ringed like cheap fanservice to me. Logan was about as perfect an ending as you can get, and its themes of dealing with old age and protecting the new generation and also letting them go resonated with me big time. Having him back for a stupid Ryan Reynolds comedy so nerds can go "OMG my childhood" is a slap to the face. And I don't think I'm alone on this.

 

Should still be one of the better-performing superhero movies over the next few years (Joker 2 might be the only one that beats it), but I have doubts on it doing insanely well like others are predicting.

I think the release date might make it a success by default. 

 

The Deadpool movies have never been that deep and that's why they do well and Hugh returning doesn't bother considering other actors from the X-Men films have returned.

Not true, they make all their decisions off of here. Kevin told me personally.

It's a Christmas movie - it will be kept for senior citizen matinees for awhile, especially with Marvels going from 4-5 screens to 1 next weekend - there will now be room.

 

If there was another Christmas movie this month, I'd see it your way, but these tend to leg more and more as the holiday comes - see The Star... it opened to $9.8M - ended over $40M DOM (with almost all its money in by Dec 25), never making that much,..and it opened a week later, losing a week of "pre-holiday" time...

We’ll agree to disagree then. There are too many films coming next week and the week after that this will be dropped like a hot potato. Because it flopped.

Its time Marvel

Fassbender was a beast. Best male actor under 50 outside of Joaquin? Maybe… 

Absolutely.

[AMC Theaters Enjoyer]

I’m very interested to see the alternate timeline where this and Dune opened against each other with full actor promos to boost.

 

Speaking of Dune, WB should see if they can move that up a week to March 8th if they can get IMAX that weekend.

[Mr Impossible]

I am actually getting excited more for this! I’ve enjoyed most of Disney’s huge flops like Dial of Destiny, John Carter, Lone Ranger, etc. I’m gonna watch it in 1 hour.

Yeah? And that's a bad thing? Maybe franchises should just end? Our lives do not depend on these silly movies?

 

Yeah I thought my weekend at bernies analogy made it clear that it's bad thing.

 

But Hollywood is a business, so...

and they will look like even bigger fools if they don't cancel Rey Palpatine movie right this moment or The Marvels will look like Endgame compared to that bomb. There's a lot to take away from The Marvels that will apply to Rey Palp: women won't show up, men will dominate but in much smaller numbers than ever before and most will hate it, new foreign markets never took to SW like they did to MCU so it's a bust there, old markets didn't support Solo and pretty much supported ST cause of old cast since audience heavily skewed older. It's a flop of flops in making.

Also has the problem where younger generations can not care less about Star Wars.

I think Fantastic 4 is a disappointment waiting to happen. It's an old book and there aren't a lot of current fans. The 2005 movie did OK but wasn't well-liked as evidenced by how the sequel did, and of course we don't need to talk about the Trank reboot.

It's just not a title like X-Men that has shown its popular in multiple mediums for multiple generations.

 

This.  The last F4 made a whopping 56 million.  F4 2 was disappointing to the point the 3rd and a spin-off were canceled.  The books have rarely been in the top 50 best sellers in the last 50 years.   The team does not make sense in the current MCU.  A "New" F4 movie makes more sense and more box office potential than yet another reboot.
