they should have just had Sam Raimi do all the post endgame movies. There was a bunch of stuff you could nitpick with Multivese of Madness, but at least, cinematic-wise, it looked good, and actually felt there was a director's persona touch for the movie and not a robot.

I'd be down for Raimi X-Men movies in the MCU.

That's what could go wrong with the multiverus setup but Coulson, Loki, Gamora, Vision and Bucky are the only dead characters that have been brought back, and all of them had some cost. The dusted characters also returned but that was always going to happen.

Thirst is okay i guess. kinda b-tier Park Chan-wook imo. Dracula 3D is perennially on my watchlist but I still haven't gotten around to it. I'm glad you're stumping for it, though. teagone posted:Morbius there's the real answer, thank you for reminding me

loving hell, Aquaman 2 only had an opening domestic weekend of $27.7 million. That's slightly higher than Blue Beetle but a couple mill short of Shazam 2. For comparison, The Marvels had a domestic opening weekend of $46m, Flash had $55m and Eternals pulled in $71m I don't think word of mouth is going to save this stinker, I'm guessing it'll fall back to second place behind Wonka by next weekend.

teagone posted:The funny thing is Aquaman 1 made over a billion, lmao. Good job WB. It seems like I was right, and Aquaman 1 made its cash off the residual hype from BVS. People wanted to see an Aquaman movie in the style of Man Of Steel, while Aquaman 2 provides an Aquaman movie in the style of The Flash.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:man, Blade probably is the last good vampire movie, huh? wild. I think there have been more good vampire movies than zombie movies since Blade despite the consensus of this being the big zombie pop culture resurgence. I would personally go to bat for: Blade II, Let the Right One In (and even Let Me In, which is good but definitely redundant), Shadow of the Vampire, Byzantium, What We Do in the Shadows, and Only Lovers Left Alive. I'll also give props to the AHS season with Lady Gaga as the vampire queen and the vampire kids spreading super-mumps to all the LA anti-vaxxer moms, and the short NBC show where Jonathan Rhys Meyers imagined what it would be like if Dracula was Tesla. Wasn't good but at least was entertainingly weird and did something new. And obviously the WWDITS show. Good zombie movies in that time though are basically just 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and Fido. Maybe Land of the Dead too but I haven't watched it since it came out. Despite liking Only Lovers Left Alive, I thought The Dead Don't Die was just terrible.

teagone posted:The funny thing is Aquaman 1 made over a billion, lmao. Good job WB. I think it's a prime example of a movie that was fun and popular in the moment, and therefore financially successful, but not something that really left a strong impression on people so it can't stand the test of time. With a movie like that you have to strike while the iron is still hot, you can't delay and delay and delay and then release the movie 5 years later. People have moved on, the idea of an Aquaman sequel doesn't move the needle anymore. You're not getting the natural boost that being a sequel to something successful usually provides, so the movie drat well better be good on it's own merits. And by all accounts Aquaman 2 is not.

2023 was also just kind of a poo poo year for the box office in general. Barbie and Mario blew the gently caress up but frigging Ant-Man is both a huge failure and one of the top 10 grossing films of the year which are still dominated almost exclusively by Disney and Marvel. It's even worse if you just look at the US domestic box office where the loving Sound of Freedom is one of the top 10 for the year.

It’s been an especially terrible year for Disney, which is fun. Here’s a tidbit i got from Tim Brayton’s review of Wish: quote:Meaning, in this case, that out of Disney's eight theatrical feature films in 2023, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is the only one to have unambiguously turned a good profit, while Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, The Little Mermaid, and Elemental have all managed to break even, more or less. Meanwhile, fully half of the company's releases this year - Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Haunted Mansion, The Marvels, and Wish itself - are all jockeying for spots on the list of the biggest financial bombs in cinema history, and The Marvels stands to be literally the #1 film on that list.

Here’s a tidbit i got from Tim Brayton’s review of Wish: Yeah, it's kind of insane that "Disney made most of the biggest movies of the year" and "Disney lost a loving assload of money" are both true. Hell, it's also true of WB where Barbie's unexpected success is basically the only thing that saved them from one of the most dire years a studio has ever had. (And with Aquaman 2 looking to perform extremely poorly even Barbie might not be enough.)

They still love water themed blockbusters there. The Meg 2 turned a profit off that audience.
