One actress I'd LOVE at the DCU.
Could be our Wonder Woman or Zatanna. 😍😍

abduleez1:
I guessed right....😎😎

Officially my most anticipated film of 2026. 🙌🏽

ProverbBaelish:
her name?

ProverbBaelish:
people have been saying Nolan will get a blank check, looks like they were right

abduleez1:
That doesn't look like a blank cheque to me when some 2025 films are around $300mn. 🙃

Illusioneffect:
Like which one? Because movies that have those kind of budgets are just because of reshoots and other irregularities. The thing is Nolan hasn't had irregularities in his movies ever

abduleez1:
Like I've said on multiple occasions, SUMMER 2026 is gonna be a bloody season. Studio tentpoles BACK TO BACK EVERY WEEK.

Potentially cracking 2019's record breaking year. With Disney and Universal going head to head for the box office crown.

I guess it's time to start buying AMC stocks. 🤑💸💰

SOZINN:
The impact of successful movies from Universal on Comcast stock is limited due to the diverse nature of the company's business segments. For a significant increase in stock value, the parent company must also achieve success across its other business divisions in addition to these film releases.

abduleez1:
Uhm, as far as I know reshoots are pretty much part of the game for Hollywood blockbusters. 🤔

Anyways here are films with little to no reshoots at $300mn+

Avatar 2 & 3
Spectre
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom


Not to mention some movies with around $250mn production budget:

GOTG 3
Batman vs Superman
The Lion King (2019)
Fate of The Furious


$250mn isn't so groundbreaking the way you make it seem. Granted.... it's a whole lot of money. But Nolan literally made TENET at WB for $205mn & $230mn for The Dark Knight Rises (which was actually $250-300mn gross but benefited from tax credits).

So all this talk about Nolan getting a blank cheque is just over sensationalism.

There is a general misconception that Hollywood actors constantly have massive pay days and are living the dream, which is so untrue in a number of ways. Only Tier 1 actors are actually living the dream and this is a very small exclusive list, the fun stops there really.

From B list actors downwards is hellish, some have to actually take second jobs, as acting might not suffice as a full fledged form of livelihood. They don't even get really acting gig to begin with.

All due respect to him, i wouldn't say he is tier 2 actor, let alone tier 1, so i can understand his frustration.


Mandy Moore put up a Gofundme due to the recent L.A fires, and fans were eating her up, saying she is a "millionaire", meanwhile she has had like 3 acting gig since 2019!...An actress from the hit Bernie Mac show from years ago had to open OF, just to make ends meet!

Why i do agree they are underpaid, but i fear tier 2 actors even have the cajones to push for better pay, and with the advent of A.I. and other tech, thier negotiating power just got down...

See the Actors, writers union strike last year or so, wasn't for tier 1 actors, No. Those ones can do one gig, and get the entire earnings for a tier 2 or 3 actor for their entire careers. Hollywood is showbiz, and it follows the same rules of showbiz. You have to be at the very top to enjoy the bigger chunk of the cake, and most importantly remain top...

Now this is concerning.

I usually don't shout money laundering scheme for some movies with wildly inflated budgets but this one just looks and smells like one.

Cos how TF did they produce it for $110mn and then sell it to Paramount for $25mn?? Highly questionable. Unless it's a distribution deal and not co-ownership, then the money is fine.

I'm not even trying to look at how stüpid it was making a biopic about a largely unknown Robbie Williams who's only known in the UK and producers even dared to spare over $100mn on it. What for?

This is the worst FLOP you can imagine. $110mn just to make $1mn?? 😳😳

pu7pl3:
And no single marketing.

Some drug dealers are stakeholders in that film production.
