Well, I think most of their base are kids and young adults.. Ain't no way mature people find that stuff interesting.

abduleez1:
Yep. And many people are saying he's the heart of the movie.

The things James Gunn is cooking for this new universe ehn just dey totori me for body.
New projects and rumors I hear everyday just fill me with joy.

I just hope my favourite characters are brought to the fore soon, especially the magical/mystical side of DC.

abduleez1:
Yeah, it's Falcon. I dey forget the werey at times.
I sha know say two of them na Bird.

pu7pl3:
Wait, he is the heart of the Superman movie? Omo I need to see this movie.

Don't worry bro, if they are already talking about bringing inter dimensional imps they'll surely bring magical characters. I can't wait to see Constantine interact with Batman bro

Bollywood has had many great stories over the years but I don't watch Bollywood for their stories at all, if you know what I mean.

Kaycee7:
Got put on to The Ramayana by a Twitter mutual. Still never got around to reading it yet. Same old story.

Anyways, Bollywood thought kindly to make a massive budget movie about it. Folks, this thing is looking like the biggest thing to come out of Bollywood this decade. I'm definitely sat.

Oh, and I found Hans Zimmer. Turns out the Indians have him. Jokes aside, a Hans Zimmer x A. R. Rahman collabo is not something I ever imagined but I now absolutely can't wait to hear what these 2 G.O.A.T.s have cooked

Shey Nollywood and the entire industry wan dey serious small small?? 🌚🤔🧐

GloriousGbola:
it is only our parents generation that still watch nta

what will this achieve?

abduleez1:
Lol.... REVIVAL!!


I never still know wetin dem get up their sleeves or how this thing go work but NTA somewhat truly have a large audience... that's if previous data about their customer base have some semblance of truth.

Anyways, I read an upstart company or so was pioneering community cinema and there's a pilot in Ojo Barracks.

Simple theatre setting, without the razzmatazz associated with contemporary cinemas.... No popcorns and drink shït, no frills. Just come with your money and watch.

1,000 theatre count is their ambitious goal. 🧐🤔

I've always imagined what a cinema chain set up with simplicity and small scale like how Bokku Mart is in almost every corner you go in mainland Lagos.
Ambitious? I know, more especially due to the nature of theatricals. But it is doable if everyone pull resources together to make it work.
I don't believe Nollywood will make much headway if they continue to depend on foreigners like Netflix to do the job for them.

As much as streaming is cool and easy to use I feel there's a massive gap it can't fill even 5-7yrs from now in our market. Until, data and internet access (especially unlimited data) becomes cheaper than the essentials of an average Nigerian, the full ramifications of streaming really wouldn't be achieved in naija; and would just be limited to the few who can afford it and the required data.

That's the kind of project that I feel will be more impactful for Nollywood distribution woes and profitability. It's already now evident that the cinema culture over here is gradually growing.
I see multiple films yearly hitting over #100mn. That's despite the low theatre count we have in the country.

My two cents.

Goddamn.....this is looking pristine.

Hans Zimmer, studio DNEG and a Bollywood epic?
Count me in.

This might probably be the project to bring me back to the Bollywood fold.

What I don't like about their movies is the excessive singing and dancing, especially doing that shït in a serious scene. It just takes out of the experience and makes it hard to take such project seriously.

As a prime enjoyer of Bahubbali 1&2 I can say, I'm seated for this. Looking like a $120-150mn production spend.
I hope this is very serious and omit or reduce those dancing to the bearest minimum. I get it it's part of their culture but this wasn't the case in GOAT films like 3 Idiots.
Also make dem make the action realistic small abeg. No be to dey make fight scene too comical and artificial with "film tricks". 🌚

Indians have the platform and ability to match Hollywood with their biggest projects but they somehow are underperforming with the execution. They can spend big too, have the massive domestic market and support, good infrastructure support, technical skill and distribution networks but they're failing in the international appeal.

This seems to amaze me cos this people had a generation in chokehold around the world decades ago. Well, they say: nothing lasts forever.
Now Korea and Japan has stolen that thunder.
I'm hoping Nollywood can do the same in the foreseeable future. 👀🌚

China just flexed its muscles earlier this year on their might if they set their hearts to it, with NE ZHA 2.
These countries are the two Asian and few countries in the world who can spend eye watering amounts on blockbuster projects asides the US and to a lesser extent the UK.

abduleez1:
That's what I've heard so far from peeps who have watched it earlier weeks ago. They say he's a key part. Others say, the heart.



So far Gunn seems like he'd deliver. Na the timing I just wish was faster.
I can't wait for them Etrigan, Swamp Thing, Constantine, Zatanna and the rest of the Justice League Dark team.

I for say Sandman universe too, but Netflix have been doing a yeoman's job.

pu7pl3:
I'll start Sandman 2 tomorrow. I enjoyed the first one really well. Gwendolyn as Lucifer was a stroke of genius, I didn't like it at first but then I saw what they were going for and it made sense.
Also made sense that the OG writers of the comics were part of the production team.

Kaycee7:
By the time a proper trailer drops, I'm sure this will take the world by storm, bigger than Bahubali and RRR

GloriousGbola:
if they can control entry and exit it may actually work. people pay to watch football in the dingiest of locations.

oyaskii:
NTA's resolution is still hovering around 480p and 720p in this big 2025 😩. To put things in perspective, Japan's National Tv, NHK, broadcasts in Ultra HD 8k and has helped spread the gospel of anime, round the world, over the years.

I am taking anything NTA says they're gonna do with a pinch of salt, because quite frankly, they aren't a serious institution, and this isn't even a serious country even!. I am even more baffled, how they still exist!

abduleez1:
RRR been downloaded and I've seen parts of it cos my siblings wan use repetition finish me.

The movie's storyline looks interesting to me but their stupid dancing in some parts still dey push me away.

Baddestguyp:
The movie I just watched isn't 10/10 at all

The early review are out despite strict review embargo and they are less than Tasteful ...

Uh oh!!! A John Cena movie is said to be better than James Gunn's SUPERMAN.

Now Variety takes a swipe at James Gunn's SUPERMAN in an unrelated review for Amazon’s Heads of State, an action-comedy starring John Cena and Idris Elba.

Variety says SUPERMAN is 'silly' and that Heads of State is more entertaining.

The jab comes after Gunn’s Superman faced harsh criticism from The Daily Beast, who called the DCU reboot “terrible” and the “final nail in the grave for the superhero genre.”


The question is how much of a mess can it truly be?
