Indies do not get as funded as they used to because the studios nowadays care more about setting up franchises and universes.There was a really nice indie a couple of years ago called Ex Machina.You may like it.Go to Google search box and type 'The Tudors S2 mkv index'.Thats how I used to do it
I don't think Ex Machina was indie by any stretch..it was distributed by Universal pictures i think. Very good and ground breaking movie btw.

I ain't sure about that. In all honesty Disney has a weak line up compared to The other big two: WB and Universal. The contenders in Disney line up I see are Just Black widow and Pixar's Onward and Soul.
It was a super dominant year for Disney last year partly because it released it's biggest Guns at one salvo and other studios were short of "Biggies" that could match up with them.

This year gonna be pretty tough, even if Disney wins the Box office it will be slightly pipping the others, most especially after Fox acquisition just bolstered it the more.

IMHO WB got bigger titles (WW84, Dune, Tenet, Kong vs Godzilla,) same as Universal with (Fast and Furious 9 and Minions). Universal's big TWO alone looks like the sure winners to win 2020 highest movie gross.

I dunno, I might be wrong though, it's wait and see and see how first half of the year pans out. Then we'll know how it will finally unfolds.
Bro..i still feel Disney got this year's box office bucks locked...Am more than 50% sure that black widow will gross more than WW84 based on appeal and the very unstable nature of DCEU compared to MCU.the only way the opposite is happening is if WB go on an aggressive promo run to push WW84. As for the other studios line up except Tenet, Disney's Mulan, Artemis fowl and even Eternals can dislodge those in the box office..Disney sure do know how to make money from movies even when the movie isn't great they will spin it somehow.

LMAO. You literally just listed Disney's entire slate.

Infact, there are 8 epic flops I see in there. Most especially that New Mutants it's been pushed back thrice.

I only see about 4/5 smash hits in there. Others will do normal box office performance its size.

Marriage Story 8.5/10

Not my kind of movie but this one was very emotional, I felt the anger, the disappointment, the suffering, the bullshits and so on. Fine performances by the lead casts.

4/5 smash hits you don't know what you're talking about bros.

have you been living in a cave or didn't the last decade tell you something about disney

when it comes to making money from movies, disney are unparallel.

disney will dominate 2020 like they did 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, mark my words.

am willing to bet disney will have more than 8 of their movies gloss over a billion dollars this year

last year it was 5 movies, this year, it will be 7 or 8 or more.

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Stonecoldstare1: 1:22pm On Jan 03, 2020
The only movies i'm looking forward to are ;
Tenet, the trailer made me confused and super interested at the same time. Nolan is part of the few who does that to you.

Artemis fowl, if it's done right cause from the looks of it, Disney is taking the same route they took with a wrinkle in time, not following the books, the trailer can attest to that but I will still give it a try because of dame Judi Dench and;

Dune, the most anticipated movie of the year for me. It's like a futuristic game of thrones if you've read the books which are the best sci-fi books ever written. I really can't wait

Honorable mentions

Sonic the hedgehog, only because the studio listened to their fans complains. It showed that they care. Lemme see what they cook up

A quiet place 2. I think the first one was overly hyped although the story was smart. IMO it didn't live up to the hype but looking at the trailer for this, i'm so pumped

Disney's Mulan, they are sticking to the original story this time

Soul

Godzilla vs king kong, it's going down

Wrong, Disney had 7 over $1bn movies, which will most likely turn 8 with final gross of Star Wars for 2019. That's never happening again this year with all the Biggie's coming out this year and the next from rival studios. I definitely don't see Disney having 5 movies grossing a billion dollars this year. It's kinda laughable. cheesy

I definitely don't see Eternals, Call of the Wild, Artemis Fowl, The King's Man grossing 1 fvcking billion. Especially King's Man that's so troubled it's been pushed back twice grin.

You seem to underestimate Universal's box office might and capabilities. They have shown ability to dominate box office like Disney in the past.

Besides that was the last Decade. This decade things might be different. Also Disney just got super dominant in the last 2 decades. Things changes all the time. And yeah, I know the saying "never bet against Disney".

Finally

Oh believe me, I didn't watch the sex scenes with kids but I get your point of it being a psychological horror

I went in blind knowing nothing about the film, not the cast or reviews, basically nothing. All I knew was that it was an Ari Aster movie and a pure slasher flick and I love hereditary so I decided to give this a try. It's a weird movie. The queer customs mirroring some traditions were quite funny but there was something haunting about that sex scene and Dani's nervous breakdown with her peers imitating her. It still creeps me out.

I went in expecting a pure horror movie with jumpscares but I got a different form of art instead. I was disappointed not because it was bad, just wasn't what I expected but it definitely shocked me after my second watch. For some people, it had to grow on them and I think I join that sphere

I so agree with you. It felt misplaced and scattered. Some even called it an inception sequel. Nolan is really keeping the plot under wraps

7 movies? wow! even more than I estimated.

disney get levels joor.

eternals will make the kind of money endgame made. you know why?

eternals is the origin story of thanos. eternals will make mad money, bros.

black widow will also smash the box office.

mulan will make the kind of money lion king made last year

artemis fowl will be a smash hit if adapted well.

call of the wild is a box office lock.

bros, 2020 will be another disney walkover.

univesal has nothing major except fast and furious.

WB has nothing major except tenet.
