its the same with two face in The Dark Knight. He looks ordinary but dangerously deadly and reckless, same with The Joker.

I sure hope they focus on Batman's detective skills, like they did in The Batman. I'm still rooting for The Question movie or series. I have this feeling it will sell. Nobody ever believed a standalone Penguin series will make it big, but heck, here we are.

The Question series should be modeled after The Penguin. Nothing fancy, just good old detective skills, some action here and there, and of course, reference to Batman. grin

First and foremost, how's this movie horror? Unless I missed what horror is now

All three leads of this movie had baggages that could sink the project but you don't expect a movie propped up by booktok to fail na, do you have any idea how popular the book was on socials? If it ends with us, the summer I turned fugly, life with the Walter boys or even the new women's porn obsession "heated rivalry" have thought us anything is that people, mostly female erotic book readers will show up for their favorite piece turned live action and studios especially lionsgate are 100% not stupid, they are slowing opening back their Twilight gold mine because there's more gold to be mined so in my opinion, the actors had no bearing to it's success. No one knew the Twilight trio when it premiered but people went to go see it because of their love for the dumb books. I can't also speak for everybody else but Seyfried's performance carried the entire movie for me and she wasn't even the lead

It's about time, she should go rest. The amount of misogyny this woman don chop from star wars fans no b here, Lynwen will obviously be their new target

The movie isn't really horror (based on what I've heard) and peeps have been correcting Luiz tire but Baba no dey hear word. grin

Make I watch film first..... All this one na still Shalaye Pro Max. Win na win.
Na so Una likes dey do mental gymnastics that time against Margot Robbie with BARBIE saying it would have been a success anyway, but $1bn+ surely ain't assured with a different cast. grin grin

Say what you will, but people will queue up to see ahem..... Sydney Sweeney milk€rs. grin grin

All the Sweeney flops last year were also poorly marketed if at all.

To me, Robbie's flop era worse pass Sweeney's and it's still surprises me till this day because there were no reason for her to keep getting miss upon miss, movies were marketed well, she was extremely versatile, she has a squeaky clean image so there's little to nothing to makes fans to boycott her projects unlike Sweeney, although the pandemic had a part to play but she was almost labelled a box office poison.

Lemme no lie, I came for Seyfried's performance and I stayed for Sweeney's milker, lol but I think that's the problem with Sweeney. She's made most of her branding about her body that people don't take her seriously when she tries to break that mold and she literally did it to herself not just with movie projects but personal branding

Chrissy was the last movie I wanted to go see at TIFF because I've never related her with such role, if it were a Lars Von Trier erotic thriller starring her, I would've been the first in line. I was literally forced by my friend to go see it and boy, was I blown away, you can tell she poured her heart, time, body and soul into the project and trust me, she deserves it but all her previous projects have hypersexualized her that people don't take her seriously when it comes to roles outside of that box, infact, there's this narrative that she's literally just her Euphoria character in real life. She's alienated the group of people that would've stuck with her, women, just to fit into the male gaze and what do most men know her for?

The eye I'm looking her with is the same eye I'm using to look at her Euphoria costar who also happens to be love interest in the show, match made in heaven but the difference is that Elordi is a man and can easily break out of that sphere

It sucks because I really like her and I know she has huge "potentials" (pun intended) but wasting those opportunities that other actors are looking for only to typecast yourself is crazy, I think one of her next big project that she's producing is a reboot of Jane Fonda's Barbarella, another hypersexual piece

Forgive my rant, it's just painful that most of these folks have insane opportunities to make it big in tinseltown yet they continue to fumble and it's not just on her, it's mostly on her team which hits home because as someone who's also in PR and marketing, I would advise her to fire everyone because they are literally setting her up to fail

As far as she's happy and good with it, no wahala. "Her body, her choice". 😎

True, her choice of projects might have a hand to do with her being hyper sexualized but I still feel there's a sense of jealousy and agenda tied to Sweeney. Her case just seem like a unique one of people looking for a scapegoat.

Margot Robbie to me is almost exactly as Sweeney is presently; she was a sex symbol building her way up Hollywood before being a powerhouse now. The difference I just see is that Sweeney has some mad milkers that's way too distracting and putting that part away is just too hard for fans especially with her consecutive "sexy films". And people are just hypocrites. Robbie has small frame and everything but got good looks going for her as well as top acting chops. But Sweeney, wey no even fine reach Robbie, people just dey vex for her endowment and how they feel she kinda climbed the ladder to stardom way too early. That's the hidden hate I feel most of these online trolls feel. "She never worked hard for it". Her rise is insane, notably for the major stars in Euphoria.

I've seen enough of Sweeney to know she's good and has a potential to do more. Watched her in Reality and my perspective of her changed and I know it's that stereotype she's trying to fight that's why she pushed hard to be in that film CHRISTY.
But people no really appreciate her effort. How many people even watched the film whether na through pirated platforms or not, talkless of theatres. The fact is the project isn't really attractive in the first place. Poorly marketed, little to no marketing, wetin dem dey expect.

Even me that is a supposed huge Sweeney fan never still watch the film despite seeing it available for download months ago. There's no sauce to the film. At least I tried to watch something in that nun horror movie she put out few years ago.

In all honesty that film CHRISTY is a very niche indie film cos how many people actually give AF about the person she's portraying. How many people want to watch a female boxer biopic? How many popular female boxers people know sef. Is boxing seen as a female participated sports? Who's the audience. Playing a female football star even has a higher margin of winning at the box office than a female boxer.
Who even Sabi am sef for the same America. No be The Rock do similar thing few months ago and still ultimately flopped with the acclaimed director, studio, marketing and all?

People go still talk wetin dem like. Na just to do wetin favour you for this life. If you say you wan dey look people mouth you go just dey cry. People will surely find another excuse to discredit a person they don't like.

At least people are talking about how Dwayne Johnson pushed himself in the new project and his acting chops. But how many people have even come out to recognise Sweeney's acting. Na only the films flop dem dey focus on.

The funny thing might just be, all these things na online e dey and doesn't translate to real life.

I'm not saying Sweeney has no part to play in all this. Sure she's marketed herself as that hot girl in town. The modern day Marilyn Monroe. The truth is Hollywood always need or want that figure at each particular era. And she's the perfect candidate.
She's put herself as that "It girl" and so far it's working for her, no qualms. If e no work again, she go pivot. She's young and have the time. Also has the innate potential, so nothing spoil.

But either ways man, we actually have a need for an actress that can go all out and do the impossible roles, nudity and all. Give the people what they want. grin grin


The only projects I feel people have pretty good excuse to claim only the rare quality of the brand helped a film make money, being more important than the stars are for animated projects. That's because the stars faces aren't seen except for their voices which I might not be looking out for in such medium except heavily marketed.

Being an adaptation to a very popular book, game, or IP isn't really guaranteed success. Many factors also play into it. If not, we suppose no see Han Solo flopped massively at the BO that year. MCU movies and all the massive goodwill shouldn't also be flopping hard now especially with all the branding and carry job that the studio set up in earlier films. We no even supposed dey discuss whether SUPERMAN go make good money or not.

So when films flop or win big at the box office I want to see dues paid to the stars, directors and filmmakers involved. Not when things go awry na go dey find who to scapegoat. When e win, we also want to see praise for those involved not just the studios.

For me I don't see any yeye boycotting for anybody here movies. I just see low quality films with little pay off or juice to drag fans in and they rightly flopped in a depressed market.
Now she's winning and people wan dey twist am say dem don comot am from boycott. Who she kill wey dem wan boycott am. If them boycott am for America shey dem boycott am for Europe or Latin America.

This agenda no just dey flow with me. All her flops aren't really even top billed serious films for box office glory, so it's pretty much funny seeing people make a mountain out of her recent flops.

I remember saying this film ain't grossing $2bn no matter the hype. Cos I already know the market and circumstances surrounding the previous film is quite different from this one. grin grin

Pretty funny this is going to get clapped by Zootopia 2.

I remember also being spot on for Jurassic World: Rebirth not hitting that coveted billion dollar title. 😏🤗
But you don't remember your predictions for Superman? grin

I very much remember. I said between $600-700mn but based on massive hype and build up it can possibly hit $1bn.

So, am I wrong??

Na you just dey bother yourself dey explain too much. People are just bitter and hence are looking for who to mess up or drag in other to make themselves feel good. Lots of top actors and filmmakers have had seasons of flops, so who the hell is Sydney Sweeney. Failure is part of life and the entertainment business, and if one wants to succeed in that industry they have to accept that reality. Success comes, but not often, there are going to be moments of failures. It happens.

As for her controversy due to the American Eagle ads. What was wrong with the ads that cry babies were ranting all over the place. So using WORD PLAYS to pass across a fashion brand message is now a sin... mtcheewww. As I said, people are just bitter, and hence they derive pleasure and self esteem in pulling down other people.

It's good that she's hit this success. More of that to come, alongside flops. It's part of the reality of the industry.

Diverting to DC, I heard Gunn has declared the upcoming Mister Miracle series as canon, which means Darkseid is in the DCU. I believe Gunn is planning on a Darkseid Invasion/ War saga 👁️...

Guy, i dey tell you. The matter just dey funny to me.

The funny thing is I just looked at the film THE HOUSEMAID, looked at the stars involved and the filmmaker— Paul Feig..... I don't know if I've watched any of his films but I know he's well respected. Saw the synopsis and I just knew this was definitely winning at the box office.

This was very much in those months where her films were flopping oo. That's when I deduced the success of the film, but wondering how peeps that have been shouting her films flop, how they didn't think this was going to be different.

Funny enough I didn't even know back then that it's a popular book with good following.

Later now, in a few months from now some pretenders will come out and be shocked that Margot Robbie's upcoming WUTHERING HEIGHTS is going to be a resounding success.

Some people don't just understand how these things works. The right stars, right marketing, right adaptation, right director, and very importantly, right release window. And you have a diamond in your hands.

Just like I've been saying WUTHERING HEIGHTS will be a resounding box office success whether them follow the book or not or fans protest about the changes and faux-rage.
Robbie and Elordi fans will come out enmasse to see this movie. Especially the women demographic that has been largely ignored in recent times.

Put Robbie and Elordi in a Valentine's day movie. A sexy one at that. And you get boldness dey shout flop?? Dem suppose tie you for Yabaleft. grin grin

Yeah, Mister Miracle series is in the DCU.
Yep, Darkseid is very much in play now, which I'm suspecting a buildup to a Darkseid War event leading to 2030.

Just remains resolving who'd be the DCU Batman and knowing when to releas the movie because of Matt's delay complicating things.
Wonder Woman is rumoured to turn up soon enough, probably in Man of Tomorrow.

So far, DC is in good hands creative wise. The projects now needs to start flowing and we'd closely watch the box office performance this year to see how we stand.

SUPERGIRL release date isn't really looking too favourable now with that much competition around that date. Let's see sha.

I don't know if anyone else noticed it yet, 2026 kinda looks like a weak year for WB but that 2027 slate looks like an invasion by Warner Bros. That year is really looking like WB going all out to win the box office. On paper, that is looking like how 2019 was for Disney... A WB domination will feed the streets for two years straight. grin

Being an adaptation to a very popular book, game, or IP isn't really guaranteed success. Many factors also play into it. If not, we suppose no see Han Solo flopped massively at the BO that year. MCU movies and all the massive goodwill shouldn't also be flopping hard now especially with all the branding and carry job that the studio set up in earlier films. We no even supposed dey discuss whether SUPERMAN go make good money or not.

So when films flop or win big at the box office I want to see dues paid to the stars, directors and filmmakers involved. Not when things go awry na go dey find who to scapegoat. When e win, we also want to see praise for those involved not just the studios.

For me I don't see any yeye boycotting for anybody here movies. I just see low quality films with little pay off or juice to drag fans in and they rightly flopped in a depressed market.
Now she's winning and people wan dey twist am say dem don comot am from boycott. Who she kill wey dem wan boycott am. If them boycott am for America shey dem boycott am for Europe or Latin America.

This agenda no just dey flow with me. All her flops aren't really even top billed serious films for box office glory, so it's pretty much funny seeing people make a mountain out of her recent flops.
One thing I will agree with you is that most of the hate came from women especially when she was jumping from one hypersexual ad to another, will I call it jealousy? No, because that narrative will allude that these women are jealous of most female popstars and they even do worse than these actresses yet these women are their biggest fans

At the end of the day, her hate was just a reaction to this present political climate and her alleged support for it so as a white blue-eyed blonde chic (she's not even a real blonde), she was a proper Canon fodder. Still, no publicity is bad publicity, I really wanna see her win because she's really talented

Yeah, Mister Miracle series is in the DCU.
Yep, Darkseid is very much in play now, which I'm suspecting a buildup to a Darkseid War event leading to 2030.

Just remains resolving who'd be the DCU Batman and knowing when to releas the movie because of Matt's delay complicating things.
Wonder Woman is rumoured to turn up soon enough, probably in Man of Tomorrow.

So far, DC is in good hands creative wise. The projects now needs to start flowing and we'd closely watch the box office performance this year to see how we stand.

SUPERGIRL release date isn't really looking too favourable now with that much competition around that date. Let's see sha.

I don't know if anyone else noticed it yet, 2026 kinda looks like a weak year for WB but that 2027 slate looks like an invasion by Warner Bros. That year is really looking like WB going all out to win the box office. On paper, that is looking like how 2019 was for Disney... A WB domination will feed the streets for two years straight. grin
This is why I aren't a fan of Netflix-WB deal due to Netflix short theatrical release model. With such the dream of seeing a Justice league movie, Superman movie and movies of prominent DC characters grossing billions would be negatively impacted. I'm only in support of the deal if they allow lengthy theatrical releases for DC.

But I read that Netflix Co-CEO, Ted, talked about being in support of 45 days theatrical releases for WB films. If that is true, then I will say Netflix can have WB.


As for Batman, yeah you're right. Matt Reeves is just delaying things. Let him release his The Batman 2, so that we can move forward with The Brave and the Bold. Na him dey hold Batman intro into the DCU, and by extension, Justice league movie. It's just the Trinity that is holding things.

I think Wonder Woman will come into the DCU in the Amazon series, Paradise Lost. That's where I anticipate Gunn to introduce her. I don't see that happening in Superman 2, maybe except in a cameo.

Regarding the Darkseid Invasion/ War saga, to me that sounds too cliche. That storyline has been done a lot, alongside Crisis on Infinite Earths. Even the concluded DCAMU had it and the latter, and the Snyderverse/ Snyder-DCEU was going with that saga also. I believe they should have explored other saga/ stories like Our Worlds at War/ Imperiex War, Sinestro Corps War, Dominators Invasion/ Invasion!, Zero Hour: Crisis in Time, Underworld Unleashed, Day of Judgement, Armageddon/ Armageddon 2001 etc with Darkseid Invasion/ War being the next saga after that. Give people something new. But anyways, it's Gunn's choice at the end of the day 🤷. Make we dey watch as things go go.

As far as she's happy and good with it, no wahala. "Her body, her choice". 😎

True, her choice of projects might have a hand to do with her being hyper sexualized but I still feel there's a sense of jealousy and agenda tied to Sweeney. Her case just seem like a unique one of people looking for a scapegoat.

Margot Robbie to me is almost exactly as Sweeney is presently; she was a sex symbol building her way up Hollywood before being a powerhouse now. The difference I just see is that Sweeney has some mad milkers that's way too distracting and putting that part away is just too hard for fans especially with her consecutive "sexy films". And people are just hypocrites. Robbie has small frame and everything but got good looks going for her as well as top acting chops. But Sweeney, wey no even fine reach Robbie, people just dey vex for her endowment and how they feel she kinda climbed the ladder to stardom way too early. That's the hidden hate I feel most of these online trolls feel. "She never worked hard for it". Her rise is insane, notably for the major stars in Euphoria.

I've seen enough of Sweeney to know she's good and has a potential to do more. Watched her in Reality and my perspective of her changed and I know it's that stereotype she's trying to fight that's why she pushed hard to be in that film CHRISTY.
But people no really appreciate her effort. How many people even watched the film whether na through pirated platforms or not, talkless of theatres. The fact is the project isn't really attractive in the first place. Poorly marketed, little to no marketing, wetin dem dey expect.

Even me that is a supposed huge Sweeney fan never still watch the film despite seeing it available for download months ago. There's no sauce to the film. At least I tried to watch something in that nun horror movie she put out few years ago.

In all honesty that film CHRISTY is a very niche indie film cos how many people actually give AF about the person she's portraying. How many people want to watch a female boxer biopic? How many popular female boxers people know sef. Is boxing seen as a female participated sports? Who's the audience. Playing a female football star even has a higher margin of winning at the box office than a female boxer.
Who even Sabi am sef for the same America. No be The Rock do similar thing few months ago and still ultimately flopped with the acclaimed director, studio, marketing and all?

People go still talk wetin dem like. Na just to do wetin favour you for this life. If you say you wan dey look people mouth you go just dey cry. People will surely find another excuse to discredit a person they don't like.

At least people are talking about how Dwayne Johnson pushed himself in the new project and his acting chops. But how many people have even come out to recognise Sweeney's acting. Na only the films flop dem dey focus on.

The funny thing might just be, all these things na online e dey and doesn't translate to real life.

I'm not saying Sweeney has no part to play in all this. Sure she's marketed herself as that hot girl in town. The modern day Marilyn Monroe. The truth is Hollywood always need or want that figure at each particular era. And she's the perfect candidate.
She's put herself as that "It girl" and so far it's working for her, no qualms. If e no work again, she go pivot. She's young and have the time. Also has the innate potential, so nothing spoil.

But either ways man, we actually have a need for an actress that can go all out and do the impossible roles, nudity and all. Give the people what they want. grin grin

I always knew Netflix would eventually play ball because the deal with WB is quite different from their usual playing field. And I'm sure it would be included in their contractual clause that some movies must spend a certain number of duration of time at theatres before being dumped to streaming.

Some movies have that built in contractual agreement, eg the Legendary Films co-produced films like DUNE and GODZILLA and MINECRAFT must have their full potential in theatres fully realized before they can be moved to streaming.
Remember how Legendary and WB had serious frictions in 2021 when Jason Kilar did that unilateral same day streaming/theatrical release model without informing Legendary.

So there's really no way Netflix can skirt that.

Another tell tale sign I knew Netflix would make adjustments according to prevailing realities.... They made a U-turn and concessions for Greta Gerwig with her upcoming NARNIA films this year getting exclusive IMAX release. If you're not committed to a project, you wouldn't even bother giving it an IMAX release — the most prestigious premium viewing format in cinema. This is a Netflix that don't like wide releases.

So all this news really didn't surprise me...

Regarding Wonder Woman intro, I don't really know but I won't be surprised if she's in Man of Tomorrow. They're usually frolicking together from time to time, so their storyline could collide.
James Gunn said the Amazon TV series had some delays with development and writing.... So I don't know about that one's pace currently in the pipeline and there's also the need to quickly introduce the trio.

We can't only be seeing Superman for the next few years especially when we already know Batman appearance would be delayed... It ain't wise Wonder Woman to also be outta the picture.
