Something had to have the worst opening in the franchise at some point, so maybe Marvel can look at this as a “rip the band-aid off” moment and not a “the sky is falling moment.” Read more

If the rest of the show is as good as this episode, we are in for a wild ride!
it’s over nerds! Time to go outside!
I go on $5 day, after they hype has died down. Empty theater, and I sneak my own snacks in. Grand total: $5.
Black Panther 2 - Woman of Color in the starring role - Big Box office - “Way to represent, women of color have an audience that people want to see.” Read more
the reframing of completely inconsequential personal decisions as ‘supporting a cause’ is something that has broken a lot of brains, i agree.

It’s a for-profit movie made by one of the biggest entertainment companies on Earth. It’s not a charity. Read more
Look at the superhero fatigue setting in as Marvel/Disney now has their own The Blue Beetle—a fanboi movie that’ll crater at the box office next weekend since all the Marvelites will have already seen Marvel’s version of DC’s Green Lanterns. Read more
But is it actually any good? Or is any pap acceptable if it has the right demographics onscreen?
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny had a disappointing b.o. and it’s only getting dropped on D+ in December. That coupled with a stacked December slate(Doctor Who Xmas specials, The Santa Clauses Season 2. Percy Jackson, to name a few), I would think they are aiming for The Marvels to drop around February(since… Read more
Critics acted like its a sequel to Captain Marvel that also heavily features the lead from Ms. Marvel and a key character from WandaVision. Sorry if you don’t think 10+ hours (at a minimum) of backstory is a big commitment, but that doesn’t make the opinion dishonest.
The problem is more that they are spending WAY too much on making the movies. And since movies have a 2-3 year lead time, it’s tough to course correct based on these results.
I mean ultimately the box office is always a roller coaster. The new Mission Impossible got great reviews and audience reception numbers, but still underperformed. Although that was also affected that it came just before the juggernauts that Barbie and Oppenheimer turned out to be, but still. Read more
Hopefully they’ll learn both those things. Normal people care about character, not skin color. We care about stories, not political agendas. We care about universal themes, not scolding and virtue signaling.
This excuse doesn’t hold up. The FNAF movie was a huge success for what it was, despite the strike, and very little promotion, thanks to brand power and positive word of mouth. Two things the MCU no longer has.
The FNAF movie came out on Peacock the SAME DAY it hit theaters, and it still made more than Marvels.
I am not excited.
That could be, but Disney hasn’t really been rushing all of its movies to D+ lately. The new Indiana Jones movie still isn’t there. Read more
It’s not a mystery. It’s a sequel to a movie that is nobody’s favortie, featuring three characters that are nobody’s favorites, with the implict need to have watched two TV series which even the biggest Marvel fans are getting burned out on. The first Captain Marvel movie was a much easier sell since it was an origin… Read more
I think the first one overperformed a bit as it was the film right before Endgame so there was a lot of hype surrounding the mcu in general right at that moment and people were hoping CM would give some hints or at least help setup Endgame, i dunno. Her short subsequent appearances (mostly as a deux ex machina) were… Read more
