You say??
The few happiness for the movie even makes things more depressing after you've gone past those happy moments. The score sef dey depressing... imagine make animation like this wan make grown man wan cry, the score sef no dey help. If you fixate your mind too much on top the score you fit dey cry on your own sef. 😭😭😭

He is.

Guy, you no fit pay me to rewatch this movie. One of the most beautiful movies I've seen but e wreck me. Na this movie give me immunity against most tragedy movies.

WhoDeyHause:

Okay because the way you were talking about luthor made me think metamorpho was going to be cast as the villain especially seeing his colleagues Mr terrific and plastic man rumored to make appearances. I just hope this cluster of superheroes will not make it bomb like the flash and justice league. Superman legacy failing would probably put a full stop to cbm funding by warner bros.

abduleez1:


No mind me jare, na Metallo dey enter my mind any time I see "M" and "O" ending the character's name. 🙃

The way I hear it, Lex wouldn't really be the key focus. He'd be present but not main villain or prolly full Supes chief antagonist.
Lol, this movie ain't bombing. It's Superman. At worst it'd underperform.

If there's any CBM director you doubt with an ensemble cast of characters, it shouldn't be James Gunn. Man easily beats out ANY director in the CBM genre for crafting his characters and knowing how to work with a large number of characters as well as great character development.
He can craft his story so you'd care for the most insignificant member of his cast as much as the protagonist. I'm not grandstanding, he has the pedigree. That's why many fans are happy. Especially with his choices of characters and the cast. You'd see signs the man knows his comic book stories to the core.

On WBD funding CBM no more cos of continued failure, I've fought numerous ppl about this notion. And I maintain that ain't happening. DC is a core strategy in WB's theatrical business. The worst, they'd only be pushed to sure bets like Batman. So you go watch Batman part 1-5 tire and numerous reboots for Joker. No risky projects.

WhoDeyHause:

I liked the suicide squad and his GOTG franchise but you know how volatile the box office is as one issue or person can cause theatre apathy and more people are gradually getting accustomed to wait for some movies to be available on streaming because of costs. I agree with you it won't bomb as superman is one of the most liked characters in Hollywood and it will also have the nostalgia effect of super Mario bros and Barbie but it seriously has to make money cause I'm not sure blue beetle might perform miracles. I felt they revealed too much in the beetle trailer and the cgi looked terrible in some parts making it look like a HBO max series. I just hope it does well.

Just to show you guys the immense scale of the WB company. Everyone knows WB has been undergoing massive losses since last year at the box office. But look closely how much revenue they're still tapping overall even competing with Disney that released way more movies and has many hits.

With WB's disastrous BO they still almost beat out Disney's profit margins. So you see, they know how to cover it up because of their economics of scale.

WhoDeyHause:

I think Disney hasn't also been doing very well this year too but this is okay so far most of the other movies and franchises break even. I just hope with James gunn on board warner bros will soon get a successful profitable movie since the Batman.

Nothing lasts forever. Even difficult and very successful times. Na turn by turn.

In the 80s Disney was a nobody...look at 'em now. In the 2000s WB was King with LOTR and Harry Potter. Sony was a small boy compared to Paramount...how things have changed.

Disney and Pixar was the undisputed Kings of animation since the 90s and you dare not fix your movie in the same period with a Disney animation in the 2010s, but see the destruction Universal is doing to them since 2020.

In the 80s heading to the 90s Marvel was a nonentity with only Blade. DC was King decades before with Reeves Superman till the 2010s. Today na Sapa bien merci.

So you see, na turn by turn. I believe with Gunn's leadership and the establishment of DC Studios and no stupid meddling from execs who only care about the financials running DC, the brand will be back to its former glory.

Err Disney has never been a nobody. Disney INVENTED animation. Steamboat Willie was mickey mouses first incarnation. We are seeing remakes of their hit 2d classics pinnochio, sleeping beauty, the jungle book, dumbo, the little mermaid,petes dragon etal. What we can say inho is Disney goes through cycles. Their down cycles are usually as a result of hubris. They are on a down cycle now because of over saturation.


Also sony was not exactly a nobody as if I recall, they bought over existing successful movie companies Tristar and Columbia. I remember Tristar pictures well because they had a Pegasus theme

I dey tell you bro.
Excitement wan kill me.

You dey see the latest cooking with Metamorpho wey j just see now now??
James dey cook abeg.
It means Lex won't be the central figure as usual just as Minemrys want am.

A little bit of exaggeration but...
Compared to the traditional big studios of the 20th century Disney was a minnow.

Columbia Pictures was prominent but compared to Paramount which was amongst the "Big 5" in Hollywood's Golden Age, it's smaller. Even MGM back then was bigger than Columbia (now Sony)
Columbia was in the "Little Three" category which Disney wasn't even close to.

Disney had animation so was WB with Hanna Barbera and MGM with Tom and Jerry.
Disney never broke in until the late 80s to early 90s because old Hollywood then never valued animated films. And the success no f Disney's 90s animation films brought it success financially and status.

I'm talking about the size and scale of the studios not their iconic legacy.

In its original release, the film grossed $39.9 million in domestic grosses, the highest for an animated film at the time from its initial release.[25] Its distributor rentals were reported to be $14.2 million while its international rentals totaled $43 million.[26] It was rereleased theatrically on March 25, 1988,[4] where it grossed $23.5 million.[27] It has had a lifetime gross of $63.5 million across its original release and reissue.[2]

Original theatrical runThe Jungle Book was released in October 1967,[25] only 10 months after Walt Disney's death.[32] Some bookings were in a double feature format with Charlie, the Lonesome Cougar.[42] Produced on a budget of $4 million,[1] the film was a massive success, grossing domestic rentals of $11.5 million by 1968.[43] By 1970, the film had grossed $13 million in domestic rentals, becoming the second highest-grossing animated film in the United States and Canada.[3] The film earned over $23.8 million worldwide becoming the most successful animated film released during its initial run.[44]

Amazon confirmed that DC Studios' The Flash will be available for online purchase on Tuesday, July 18 at 12 a.m. ET, exactly one month after the movie first debuted in theaters worldwide.

This comes after the film had one of the worst theatrical runs of any superhero movie in recent memory, becoming the worst box office flop in Warner Bros.' history.

i cant find the original. someone messed with this. this isnt the original audio

Saturnalia:
1.) Asteroid City 2023 (-2/10). I meant minus 2 over 10.

Useless movie. Don’t waste your data. The French Dispatch - 2021 was way more sensible & interesting.

2.) Point Break 2015 - 9/10. These are the kind of movies I am looking for.

I downloaded more than 22 Hollywood movies within the last 4days, and only 3 of those movies are still in my archive.

Hollywood has become so watery & overrated. It seems every every Tom, Dick & Harry with a little change are competing to bore us to death with their predictable, and in most cases senseless childish movies.

3.) Unfaithful 2002 - 8.5/10. I didn’t know I would enjoy this movie because it was a bit boring at the beginning but mehn, I love this movie die! A lot of valuable lessons to be learned.

4.) Darkest Hour 2017 - 9/10. These are the kind of exceptional movies that will leave you completely mesmerized.
Horatiu

Great business model by Netflix and especially Paramount. Very efficient.

It's obvious that WB and Disney are just threading water. All that outlay for such returns is a clear sign they need an overhaul.

abduleez1:


Lol, you must be clowning? Right?

Disney and WB makes way more money than the rest combined both in revenue and profits.
It's clearly stated there that Paramount was basically making losses while the others were profiting.
Netflix has a great business model tho.

Extraction 2, 5/10,

The high standard set by the First Project gave this movie a hill to climb.
Some of the characters were not well developed and unnecessary, the writing was a bit disjointed, its hard to understand how the same team of writers of the first one could bring so much baggage into this one. I finished the movie with even more questions.
But all in all the Premise was enjoyable, the action is what held it up.

Dead on Arrival,
Any sensible person would have gone for Batman and The Outsiders, with a Robert Patterson Batman reboot.
These are easy lay ups for Gunn, but Gunn wants to make Gunn characters away from the source material.

Batman and the Outsiders in a Superman film??

Are you privy to the upcoming Batman movie script we don't know about?

Explain Gunn characters away from source materia ?

drizzle0007:



Please what questions do you have?
That was a pretty straight forward movie.
