In what sense? I know I said it could make a billion ofc the only thing stopping it from doing that is it’s international market- it’s on track to make 700 million minimum 👀 won't you call that a success? Besides I never said anything about how good the film will be and I had low expectations concerning how good it'll be now it's actually an Oscar contender...... So what's your point

phr0nesis:
You posted around October that it was receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews, so bro your expectation was already high. And as for the total gross, $700m is a huge success, but still, it pales in comparison to your "easy $1b prediction". You also spoke about its popularity outside the US.

Illusioneffect:
The hype for the Wicked movie here in the US is insane you guys don't understand and the reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. It had the potential to make a billion

By the way....

This is what I said brother - I never said an easy 1 bill- I said it has the potential to. Also as a guy who doesn't enjoy musicals - my expectations were low but it exceeded my expectations even as a musical

phr0nesis:
No p bro, but at least you can agree that you mentioned easy 1 bill. Abdulzeez has even assisted with the quote

abduleez1:
Lmao.....

"Wicked has the potential to easily make $1bn"

"It is the most popular musical in the US, Asia and Europe"


Yet, na another thing entirely I dey see.
You have to understand that, while some IPs can be very popular, some are demographically, geographically and culturally tied.



I always knew this was a typical vibes and insha'Allah North American flick. 😅

Illusioneffect:
Bro😭😭 What I meant by easily is 'it was an easy decision to pick wicked over joker not it could make 1 bill easily

NobleStag007:
Anyone seen venom 3?

DieRich5:
best rate is 3/10

Beautiful nonsense start to end, if there is an award for outstanding useless movie......I bet, it's winning it.


It's nice seeing 2 Ted lesso cast in it

Gladiator 2: 9/10

Now this is GOATED, easily the best movie of 2024 I've seen so far.
Adrenaline pumping Action/fight scenes ✔️
Well written Story ✔️
Jaw dropping Cinematography ✔️
Moviescore ✔️
Dialogue ✔️
Star-Studded Cast ✔️

Although I felt the movie was rushed, a series would have done justice to the story. I would have loved to see more of this villainy side of Denzel Washington. His performance was charismatic and really stood out. In most scenes he even overshadowed the protagonist. The fight scene with Lucius if that isn't a stunt double then the old man still got lots of juice left in him, i was expecting him to be struck down as fast as possible with one strike but he held his ground.

Honest Question -
What's wrong with the Gaming Section in Nairaland here?
Is it that no one plays PC Games or PS4 and 5 games here or gaming is not a massive thing in Nigeria there because I'm an avid gamer 👀.

Illusioneffect:
7/10 at best

No one uses ps4 or 3 anymore

majesticguy:
This isn't the right section for this. I play PC games, i just finished Detroit Becomes Human yesterday. Although I have finishing the game 3 times previously with a different ending. This is my 4th time with a different ending.

The gameplay was really good and the graphics was an eye candy. You get to make decisions that affect the outcome of the game.

The Gaming Section sucks. DBH is too short

You came here and said you enjoyed Venom and rated it highly and no one "hmmed" you.
Don't you have Kraven the Hunter to watch or something?

NobleStag007:
It's not on high seas yet

pu7pl3:
You will still enjoy the CAMrip version. it falls under the kind of things you enjoy.
