At least one star wars film (the patty Jenkins star fighter) has been canned and one of their mcu TV shows that nobody asked for (echo) has been thrown into one day all episodes streaming hell. They are doing alright comparatively with wb and paramount but they are not hitting numbers as well. The actual good pixar movies turning red and luca were dumped at streaming while elemental which on face value is zootopia but no furries gets destroyed in the box office. Indiana Jones cost 200 m + but is not expected to make a profit either. Like, nowhere near the disaster of the flash but that is such a unique problem I don't know who else could replicate it

Disney is also already doing the "removing finished shows that they own" thing, it's just lower profile. https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/disney-plus-hulu-content-removed-willow-dollface-1235618280/

At least we got Venom, that sub series owns. Jury is out on Kraven, although I'm not hopeful. And Jared Leto is currently wanted by the Hague for crimes against acting; House of Gucci, Suicide Squad, and Morbius being held as evidence.

They wanted to show their recommitment to Theatres after the last two Pixar releases on Disney Plus, and they thought they would get the same insane reaction Top Gun Maverick did. They miscalculated, Tom Cruise and practical filmaking can win a critics crowd at cannes, cgi and centenarians cannot.

Needed more than 'it's not Crystal Skull, we promise.' Does remind me of seeing D&D in theaters, my first time back and there was this two minute thing before the movie of the cast telling me they may fight dragons but I was the REAL hero for seeing a movie in theaters. Chris Pine did most of the talking and most of the other cast had the good decency to look vaguely embarrassed.

Leto's performance in House of Gucci is: Everyone else is an insane melodramatic person in that movie, but Leto moves himself into histrionic i'm-a-mario levels of Italian, seemingly without any hint of irony. The person it's based on surely was very ridiculous but leto's portrayal lends an air of "do not invite, he's a lot" in people's group chat messages https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxMariVQnHM

Wonder why all the streaming services have turned out to be money pits. It's weird because I thought Disney plus was still doing really well. On the other end, it seems like movies in general aren't doing great (with the exception of spiderverse). If it was just one blockbuster not making back that would be one thing, but it feels like all the summer blockbuster movies aren't doing well right at this moment. It's still early enough in the summer but that still feels unusual. Like, none of the marvel or dc movies have done particularly well this year and you can't even really blame it on the pandemic anymore. Barbie will fix things.

It's still early enough in the summer but that still feels unusual. Like, none of the marvel or dc movies have done particularly well this year and you can't even really blame it on the pandemic anymore. If we're strictly speaking Marvel/DC, I think a lot of people have just kinda soured on those brands at this point. Marvel isn't "consistently good" anymore, its "consistently bland" at best and "frustrating embarrassment" at worst. You still get some good stuff mixed in there from time-to-time but it feels so few and far between at this point. I know the last few Marvel films our family's watched together have all been at home - why drive all the way to the theater to watch this poo poo when it'll be on Disney+ in a few months anyway? Don't even get me loving started on DC; someone could probably write an impressive book someday on the sheer number of gently caress-ups Warner Bros. made with that franchise. Spiderverse is a banger, but A) that's very explicitly Sony and not Disney/Marvel, B) it has nothing at all to do with the MCU. Honestly I think people are also just sick of Disney and WB's poo poo. Modern Internet + social media mean a lot of their lovely business practices are common knowledge at this point; people might be more willing to forgive stuff like that, as lovely as it sounds, if their output was good enough to "make up for it", for lack of a better term - but it's really not and hasn't been for quite a while now. Good will for your previous output only takes you so far for so long, but the more people's expectations drop, the less likely they'll be to give a poo poo about your next billion-dollar tentpole film - especially if that film has just been mired in controversy after controversy (looking at you Flash).

Show them doing some iconic stunt from the comic book already. If you make a Black Bolt movie, show him on the moon in some crazy space suit or barrier shouting an asteroid away from Earth or something, I dunno.

Marvel had a consistent path forward towards the goal of Endgame, so even something mediocre had some interest in seeing it to "keep up" with the buildup to that. Endgame was a good jumping off point for the series, and most people did. There's a lot of resistance to keeping something like that going after a solid stopping point, because we've seen a full arc and being expected to lock in for another decade+ for payoff is a tall order. And saturating content with series AND movies makes it worse as now there's no easy entry point to jump back in.

I can’t care less about box office numbers, but Asteroid city beat its revenue projections and is Wes’s best opening weekend ever. Movies that are their own self contained story slap and you should go see it imo.

I mean, conservatives were going to take credit regardless of how they performed. Anytime something they don't like underperforms in the slightest, it's because people are agreeing with them and are now boycotting woke media, and surely not because of *gestures at all sorts of plausible reasons why* mycot posted:Yes.

I always thought that it was mostly due to Timm, because Dini was horny for Zatanna and married someone who was basically her, which I think kept that kink from being in the DCAU more. Well, that, and the Zatanna comic he wrote for a while

So you had a bunch of articles and cartoons about how the woke Mario movie (I think from Peach having agency and not being a prop to rescue and therefore... ?) and by extension Hollywood have been destroyed by being woke. Then it started making bank and got decent/good reviews, so barely a week later the same people shifted to 'the chad Mario wrecks woke Hollywood'. There is no subtlety or self awareness for anyone banging on about the woke agenda.
