They are completely and irrevocably lost touch with their audience. Too much cocaine and butt kissing, too little talent. They need a top down refresh in their producers and decision makers. After Nintendos movie success. Looks like they want to challenge Disney on the Princess side. And cant blame them. Disney leaving the door wide open when everything was locked down in their favor. When youre in position where selling Lucasfilms to the Saudis is one the best ideas remaining on the table. Its time to clear house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But obviously it will still be a loss unless it legs out like Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. I just watched Elemental. I understand why it's mid - the story beats are pretty predictable. But as a child of immigrants, it was relatable to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 At this point, Harrison Ford is just looking for paychecks. Only way to explain why he willingly starred in two movies for Disney that absolutely destroyed his two most iconic characters. They need to make a sequel to that South Park episode (you know the one), but instead of Lucas and Spieldberg, its Kathleen Kennedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not showing a Top Gun: Maverick bump at all. Finally picking up steam. July is going to be the month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 MI: Dead Reckoning off to a very disappointing start. Hopefully there's just confusion from the general audience about its release, because this was truly wild what Paramount did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Prince Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I was watching a MI special on Wednesday and it say it was out already I was like what?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I booked our tickets for Indy a couple days ago. It was already moved to a smaller theater. Looks like about 120 seats or so. And we were the first two to book seats, on a Saturday, at prime time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean that as a slight to Oppenheimer either, because that will have a very good opening. But Barbie is trending towards being the summer winner and #2 for the year domestically behind The Super Mario Brother Movie. I'm guessing $130 million for Barbie and $65-70 million for Oppenheimer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 10 hours ago, RuskieTitan said: What did they do? Early preview showings Sunday and Monday and opened wide on Tuesday, so the marketing was all over the place. Most movies "open" on Fridays with early previews on Thursdays. Could have caused confusion for the GA about when the movie opened...but it didn't. Thursday wasn't great either. Now don't get me wrong, this has never been a huge opening weekend franchise. It's running just a little behind Fallout right now. Every franchise eventually hits diminishing returns if it goes on for a long time, and this being a "Part 1" isn't helping. Top Gun: Maverick really skewed the expectations for this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 I also doubt this will leg out as well as the last few Mission Impossible movies, even with the rave reviews, because of Barbie and Oppenheimer. It's obviously early, but it's very possible this ends up this ends up as the 2nd lowest domestic gross on the franchise, only above III.
