WB are trying to make their stupid Warnering decisions again.

Pushing Dune 2 to 2024 because of strike and co is dumb. It literally has just the Marvels to contend with in November and it looks the better also coming from a strongly accepted original.

Then there's the more stupid decision of moving Aquaman 2 from December. That film literally has the best date of almost all movies this year. No blockbuster competition asides some genre movies which are mainly WB movies themselves.

Finally WB about to enter top 5 for the first time this year after being in financial purgatory...

By Monday, top 5 pushing out Lionsgate.

BlackManta:


WB loosing millions of dollars with The Flash

WB getting the biggest opening weekend of the year with Barbie

Baddestguyp:
The decision to not push back Mission Impossible feels dûmber everyday

It's been completely overshadowed by two giants...

ErenXSatoru:

Bro what is also surprising is Sound of Freedom is trashing Mission Impossible domestically🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ and the mission impossible movie is actually good, talk about bad timing

Kaycee7:
Alright. Fair enough.

Failure can never be attributed to wokeness. If it could, there'd be no successful woke movies like Little Women, Enola Holmes or Call Me by Your Name and woke series like The Sandman and Wednesday.

The anti-woke crowd just jumps on badly written movies and claims it failed because of woke agenda. That's like claiming Black Adam flopped because it was pushing toxic masculinity agenda.

Nickshrapnel:
At this point, they should just release Aquaman 2 even if audience reaction is negative, the reshoots(if the rumours about them is true)is getting too much.

SOZINN:



Perhaps you're right, and I'll reconsider some of the woke movies I've previously skipped. However, if you approach it from a financial perspective, you'll see why I take wokeness into account when estimating box office revenue for high-budget woke remakes. A glaring example that supports the thesis is China's decision to forgo financial support for The Little Mermaid due to political reasons, as they have with a few other woke remakes. As is well known, China is a significant source of revenue for the global box office.

The average box office revenue of comic book movies today demonstrates their influence. The Little Mermaid is now left to make due with the remaining contributors, some of whom will still decline to partake due to politics. It only makes sense to play all of your cards when entering the market with a total budget of $350 million or more to increase your chances of earning a profit at the box office.

And this is why I show support for some of these movies like The Little Mermaid. It's not as if I love it or I'm invested in it but it's the crowd that seem to slap WOKE on anything they feel is woke agenda, especially ones empowering women or pushing diversity real hard.

Look at how HOTD handled it well. How many people are shouting WOKE and all that nonsense with the Velaryons being Black?? If woke shït is so good, they hardly have little to nothing to rant about especially when it's HBO.

pu7pl3:


The pain will never end bruh...it's a curse.

Kaycee7:
They left HotD and went to attack Rings of Power.

abduleez1:


I always told them about this comeback story but they thought I was joking.

abduleez1:


Yes!!
Funny how I forgot to include when it was the show I was thinking about, especially that their annoying "No Black Elves" or "Black Harfoots" forgetting Harfoots have dark skinned tribes in the books.

The anti WOKE mob just pick and choose which project to attack and they go for easy pickings.

I remember when they tried that shït with The Last of Us. How that shït ended in two weeks. 😂😂😂
The common denominator thats almost ALWAYS constant in projects that suffer anti WOKE pushback are the ones with weak writing.

abduleez1:


They considered pushing Blue Beetle too but changed their decision.
Prolly why they ain't ramping up marketing in North America because they don't feel confident after the inability of stars unable to promote films.

I'm seeing a few marketing in South / Central America tho, with a Blue Beetle event in Puerto Rico.

Sure trust the Latinos, they'd definitely support their own and I'm expecting something big from Brazil and Mexico especially.

pu7pl3:


That Aquaman December slate was perfect bruh but I guess the reshoots would need more time to fix into the general story and all.

They should just release Blue beetle and keep their fingers crossed, me and my household will see it in cinemas and support the Latino community's B.O. with our measly naira.

Kaycee7:
Wednesday was the final straw for me. Weak male cast paired with a strong female cast. Wednesday literally had lines where she'd antagonize the patriarchy or tell the guys not to mansplain to her.

Nobody said PIM! Na there I know say all na wash. Na just for the hustle and grift.

Kaycee7:
Losing that December slot is a major hit to Aquaman. No other slot can give them that kind money.

And if they do early year release, January to March, the chances of flopping go bullish.

Born2Freak:



What is this one saying?

You went to watch Barbie in the cinema and you are complaining about return-on-investment from spending money at the cinemas?

You went to watch a childish film and expected to be satisfied as an adult?

People like me watch only big budget or strong plot movies att the cinema. That way, you will enjoy at least 65 to 70 percent of the movies you pay to watch at the cinemas.

For instance, these are the movies I have enjoyed this year at the cinemas

-John Wick 4
-Across the spiderverse
-Fast and furious X
-Guardians of the Galaxy 3
-Creed 3
-Mario

That is a movie a month this year. And I am yet to see Mission Impossible and Oppenheimer. I also enjoyed the Transformers movie this year.

Bro, make movie choices wisely

Kaycee7:


Alright. So I think what I'm going to do is start you off with short series (13 episodes max) that are pretty newcomer-friendly and then we'll progress to 25 episode shows.
Also throw in a movie every now and then.

So start off with Violet Evergarden

My complaint didn't start today with Barbie so rest. It was only ATSV and GOTG3 i truly enjoyed from your list you put there , that i saw. Stayed away from John Wick 4 because i was already bored with Part 3, and seeing it on VOD, i was glad I didn't go see it, Fast and Furious X was medicore at best, Creed 3 was just there too and did i hear you say you enjoyed Transformers?? Then we are clearly on different paths with the way we view movies. You might think going to the movie is some show of class and a chance to foment those who don't go whilst i actually care about the art and i don't just bend over for any movie.

oyaskii:
"They Cloned Tyrone" (2023).

A fantastic watch, an expected gem when you actually pay for good writers and hire the best actors to deliver. Highly recommended.

8/10.
