Wheat Loaf posted:Infinity War 2 will be bigger, obviously. In fact, there are several movies in 2019 which I think will potentially be bigger than Episode IX. Captain Marvel, Toy Story 4, Frozen 2 and Lion King at least. In any event it will be difficult to bounce back from the one-two punch of TLJ disappointing and being divisive and Solo bombing like Sir Arthur Harris. So Disney is going to own every top five film?

How reliable is that Mike Zeroh guy for fandom hearsay? His latest is that there are "rumours" that Disney could "intervene in Lucasfilm" and have Johnson's trilogy cancelled.

In all my years of Star Wars rumors and news, and I'm talking about going back to Harry Knowles having spies on the set of Episode I...I've never heard of him. His Twitter account sure seems like a bunch of reactionary click bait poo poo, though. "Disney Star Wars Making Huge Changes & More! New Details Revealed (Star Wars News)" (actual copy paste)

Hazo posted:I keep seeing this cited as coming from some super duper mega reliable fan site source but it still sounds like total horseshit to me. In Solo they were clearly building up to a series of connected Stories films and I have a hard time believing Disney/Lucasfilm would can some serious money-making projects because of a bunch of vocal MRAs and alt right fuckboys didn’t like TLJ for dumb reasons. Especially not to give even more control to Johnson when he’s so widely disliked. We’re three years and four films into the relaunch of the franchise and the film laying the groundwork for those connected stories just bombed. They’re trying to set up a parallel MCU and managed to immediately stumble into a bigger setback than the MCU has had in a decade. With or without the reaction to TLJ, they have every reason to reconsider their plan with the Star Wars Storing branding, because it’s not resulting in the surefire hits that they almost certainly expected it to (Han Solo can’t even match Ant-man?) and consecutive failures would be even worse than this one rough spot.

I mean the real problem (from a financial perspective) is Solo was a botched production---it ended up basically having to be shot twice, so the production cost was like twice what they expected. It's like one of the most expensive movies of all time, when there is no excuse for it costing more than say Elysium or All You Need is Kill: Live Die Repeat on The Edge of Tomorrow. Like, poo poo happens----you don't tell Tom Brady to never throw a ball again because Amendola tripped and rebroke his arm one time.

Exactly. Solo didn’t “bomb” no matter how many times people try repeating it. It opened just as well as Rogue One. The problem comes from what an expensive clusterfuck the production was and how they released it in competition with other summer blockbusters.

What I'm saying is yea Solo underperformed very badly----but there are several factors you can point to, like the May release and the reshoots---which might keep Disney (or whoever) from giving up on any more Star Wars Stories. Like seriously, they made Deadpool and Chappie for under $60 million. Can nobody can get a Boba Fett movie in the can for that much? loving give it to Robert Rodriguez, he'll shoot it on a handheld camera in the backyard of his ranch.

Outside of a small pocket of the Internet, I don't think the majority of the moviegoing populace is aware of, or gives a flying gently caress about, the re-shoots. The reasons for Solo's failure are simple: - Terrible release window - Terrible marketing campaign (remember, we didn't see anything, not even a promo photo, until three months before release)

There are extenuating circumstances tied to every film that fails to land, but you don't get to simply wave them off because, well, that wasn't how it was supposed to go. That's nonsense.

All the big sites are saying the spinoffs that were rumored are not cancelled (ie boba Fett obi) but that a movie based on the most eisley cantina was cancelled\halted. Which if true is hilarious. Where's my tales from the mos eisley cantina movie Kathleen!!!

Hazo posted:That’s weird, I read it was around 150m worldwide. Thanks for the correction. I still think it’s ridiculous to say it bombed just because it hasn’t made back its insane budget, and I really don’t know if there’s any truth to the rumors that turbonerds were actually boycotting it, but if there was then that’s another factor to consider. Well, I mean, you just did it again: "The turbonerds boycotted Solo, that is why it failed!" In my experience, the turbonerds are the only one who went to see the film. The weirdest thing beyond the weird brand loyalty is the belief that the turbonerds are simultaneously an irrelevant laughing stock, but also strong enough to single-handedly destroy the films. This, of course, explains why Disney fans believe that the First Order is the alt-right and that Snoke is Trump. It's the same system: they're an incompetent laughing stock, but they're also extremely scary.

Honestly, if they just say gently caress it and go all-in and have every Jedi ever showing up as a Force ghost and crowding into a room to give Rey bad advice / give Ren a hard time, fair enough, they should go for it.
