LORD OF BOOTY posted:e: like, I'm not saying the dude's going grey because he's in any legal trouble, but because this movie had a lot of money dumped on it and has "bomb" written all over it. It's a Ghost in the Shell or Bright situation where, by now, everyone's pretty much primed to hate the movie regardless of its actual quality. Bomb? Let's not be hyperbolic here. It's still a Star Wars movie. It's going to make a buttload of money. I have my concerns about it myself, mainly due to milquetoast Ron Howard, but a bunch of internet fanboys whining about #NotMySolo are not going to hurt this movie very much at all. The biggest whiners will still be there opening night. Because it's Star Wars. Remember how the internet exploded just a few months ago over Battlefront 2 and everyone was predicting that it would be the death of EA? Sure, it fell short of expectations, but it still sold shitloads, and made a ton of money for EA and Disney.

Pretty much. You're delusional if you think a Star Wars movie isn't going to make a poo poo ton of money. And for all we know, it could review well too.

Even the most die hard SW fans are really uninterested in the thing but have said they'll see it just because it's a SW release. It's gonna have to be reviewed really poorly for a lot of the core group of fans to not go.

The fact that BvS didn't breach $1 billion cost Zack Snyder half of a Justice League (and will probably cost him his blockbuster career). So Solo will make bank, but heads will roll when it doesn't make 'enough' bank.

It went up against Tropic Thunder, and made $68,280,000 overall (roughly half domestically, the other half internationally) against an $8.5million budget with the intention to lead into the TV series that followed.

I do not think Solo looks good at all, but there is very little chance it’ll bomb. Unless you mean “bomb” in the sense that it just does pretty good at the box office instead of absolutely amazing.

I don't necessarily think that Solo will be financially a failure, but the funny thing about seemingly invincible titans going down like punks is that everyone thinks it's impossible right up until their rear end is on the ground and the blame starts getting aimed at random producers

Given the fact that the DCCU has been overwhelmingly disappointing, the fact that the Justice League did not do well is not surprising at all.

Given the fact that the DCCU has been overwhelmingly disappointing, the fact that the Justice League did not do well is not surprising at all. The films so far have been disappointing. Man of Steel was bloated, and both the Wonder Woman and Batman films should've been released well before Batman v. Superman. That film also suffers from a multitude of problems, and it just reeked of DC and WB trying to fast track what the MCU took its time to build.

Disney probably doesn't care how Solo does because they'll be rolling in money thanks to Black Panther and Infinity War.

Odd timing for the I'm Still Here cinematic universe to get started but I suppose Lynne Ramsay directing helps divert possible Casey Affleck-centric protest.

People blame this poster for The Italian Job's poor performance at the American box office, because audiences saw that poster, went in expecting a serious mafia movie, and got The Italian Job instead

That's some impressively obnoxious movie-poster clickbait right there. If I saw it and wasn't literally dead by the end of the movie I'd be disappointed.

For some reason, when I first heard Dwayne Johnson was going to star in a Rampage movie I expected him to be one of the giant monsters - even though his precedent with that isn't the best.
