I dey tell you.
Now I'm perplexed. 😅

I believe both will be fine sha, the one with the better story will surely have the advantage tho.

GloriousGbola:
youtube premium does not work with any of my cards
spotify works with my zenith.
and it was abduleez1's post that made me remember i have a spotify subscription i am not using. i am on a family plan .it is mostly my kids who use spotify

for the past two years, most dollar denominated online purchases have been hit and miss
some are even a case of works today, not working tomorrow

i like video games
the following are platforms that you can buy vieo games licenses from

steam - the best but no regional pricing. used to be able to buy from there until sometime last year
epic games - not as goos as stem, but they had regional pricing - and i used to be able to buy from there
microsoft store - hit and miss and games you but from there are configured differently - however, they have regional pricing and IN NAIRA

summary even though games bought from ms store can be wonky, i usually buy games from them - because they are available and tehy are cheaper - though they also come with their own k-leg.

Is it smart for both movies to come out same month as jurassic world which has a history of grossing over a billion?

TemporaryHansel:
Why do some people act like those services are even expensive? I use Apple music and it's just 1,500naira or thereabouts monthly. I'm sure Spotify will be around the same price range.
Such amount shouldn't make you leave quality content. Besides, don't y'all hate those ads in the unpaid versions? My hatred for ads is why I can never use those free versions.

You cannot be more right sir🔥🔥. This is not just about Spotify - the amount of subscriptions you have to use esp if you're a gamer, a designer and work with computers. Just a year ago, I was paying for
Adobe Creative Suites
Spotify
Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus. Spending like approximately $100 a month and I was not even getting what I need and I was not even using them much. I later discovered that ACS restrictions were worse than the cracked version because of the many restrictions it came with, you had to keep signing up and using the internet to keep access to tools you'd never use - the same with the movie streaming services - I watch only like 5 movies in a month for each when I can just download clearer 1080p and even 4k versions of every movie and show that comes out of the streaming i.e. I'm paying for lesser quality 😭.

Also I play a lot of video games too and I can tell you- paying for a video game esp when it's on PC and not on PS5 or XBox is absolute burning of money 😩- you're not even buying the game but a licence to the game. If the game doesn't have enough players, they could end your pass 🤦🏾‍♂️.

And you're getting an even worse version of the game sometimes, for example Red Dead Redemption 2 I once bought after playing the pirated version because I loved the game and wanted to support the company. I realised the game was running on 40-53fps and laggy when cracked versions were giving 60-100fps reason because of the insane restrictions in the game code to stop piracy thereby slowing down the game 🤦🏾‍♂️. Why pay for worse

Whatever challenge you're facing this year, try not to kpai yourself before July

GloriousGbola:
honestly 90% of the time, it is those that pay for software that get shafted

and they are all getting out of control with enshittification where even premium users still get hit with ads

or adobe charges you to end your subscription.

the only downside of piracy where software is concerned is you provide your own support and you may have to wait for crack updates to be released when the game gets a major update

obligatory meme

abduleez1:
Yeah. I believe both will do well.
I'm not scared at all about anyone failing at the box office. It's just that they'd both cannibalise money off each other, seeing as they're both the same genre and somehow have similar style.

Ultimately, I think SUPERMAN would fare better.
Just that F4 gives Marvel lovers alternatives during that time.
And the fact that there's also Jurassic World in that timeframe is why I don't like their proximity.

Anyways, let the best man win.
It's an interesting month to gauge audience interest and patterns.

Illusioneffect:
F4 will probably do better esp if Superman is not fun to watch for kids and comic fans

It's raining trailers this week...

abduleez1:
Lol, I highly doubt that. Especially with that WB's Krypto the Superdog 'Puppy Bowl' marketing.

F4 ultimately looks like a $650mn+ pic, best case scenario for me. While SUPERMAN definitely exceeds that financial range.

BlackManta:
I expect Marvel to insert Robert Downey Jnr. Dr Doom cameo in this movie.

They simply can't resist the urge to employ the never-failing nostalgia bait.

Illusioneffect:
Exactly 😭 no significant downside to pirating. Plus the amount of data and personal information this companies get and sell to others also😩 Is insane.
It's when I even got to this country I knew piracy was actually a crime - I didn't even know downloading films were bad and windows was not free 😂. The popularity of movies and games will not be anything if not for piracy in my opinion so they should give us our flowers

SOZINN:
There has never been a bad Sue Storm casting, except for that Pankola in the bottom left corner.
