- The Hollywood box office sounds pretty grim for 2024. Few major tentpole movies, and a few lukewarm opening seem to be an indicator of what's to come. Planet of the Apes did OK, but nowhere near what Disney is used to. Buckle up, it's gonna be a bumpy ride....

Poor Hollywood. Perhaps us fans should get together and sing “Imagine” for them.
It won’t work since most of us don’t live in homes with heated pools haha
They don't deserve the effort from us
🎶 "Imagine Kevin Spacey or Harvey Weinstein getting away with crimes... it's easy to do. Imagine Harvey's assistant is making Star Wars, too... Imagine all the children suffering under DISNEY'S roof... Imagine all the groomers pretending to care about you..." 🎶
You're a dreamer.
playing the smallest violin over here
Wouldn't be so grim if they didn't call everyone with talent racists n sexists thereby chasing them out of town
If the blue eye samuri creators made a animated movie I would be there opening night
Marxist are working on destroying western entertainment
Shite writing and overpriced theaters. I think I'll pass
You can go to a concert for the price of movie tickets now. Hard pass
And annoying endless ads before trailers.
The woke stuff is brutal but before that I couldn’t take anymore long car chases and explosions or people getting killed with gunfire . Such boring crap
@chiquita683 I go 1 to 3 times a week and I'm not rich by any means. Movies are still one of the cheapest forms of entertainment. What concerts are only $15?
@@albundy7623 It's not that car chases, explosions, and dudes getting blasted is boring, it's that it's boring when there's no story and all the difficult cinematography and sfx sequences are done with cheap looking CGI.
A great man said " Everything woke turns to shit"
Ah yes, the age old proverb:
“Get woke, go broke.”
How was planet of the apes broke??
@@Sirnekk look up, the point went over your head
I saw an woke cube once.
They talked down to us. They are finding out that we don’t need Hollywood.
Hollywood is dead, we need something new.
Bollywood?
We don't. Filmmaking is more accessible than ever. There's no reason to shove all the talent into LA.
@@KetsubanSolo i litterally watched a star wars fan film a few minutes ago and it was pretty good. the VFX were nearly Hollywood quality.
@@MrSGL21yeah, there are so many tools for aspiring filmmakers to just go out there and make something. Heck, Steven "Oceans Eleven" Soderbergh filmed two entire movies using an iPhone for his camera as a proof of concept!
This is actually a really exciting time for filmmaking!
We already have something "new", it's called Indie animation. Murder Drones, The Amazing Digital Circus, Helluvaboss, Hazbin Hotel, Monkey Wrench, and there are still so many more people who have made cartoon pilots of shows that could maybe one day be picked up or funded with fan money.
My local, small-town movie theater recently posted asking locals what old films they would like to see in theaters again. They're considering doing throwbacks mixed in with any new releases because new movies aren't making them enough money. Everyone in the replies loved the idea of seeing some classics in the theater again at a lesser price like The Thing, Goonies, Clueless, and Terminator. A lot of people wanted full 80s and 90s weekends.
There's been more re releases in my theater then new releases lately and I'm loving it. Seeing movies I've loved since I was a kid finally on the big screen as they are supposed to has been amazing.
That sounds pretty amazihg
The big ones here have been really consistent with bringing back older ones, and the Studio Ghibli re-releases always pack the theater
Willow. Recommend the original Willow movie.
Had a bootlegged copies of Willow and Goonies back in the old country. Grew on those two movies
Blame esg, dei, and activist woke writers
And B.R.I.D.G.E. the new DEI
Blame their hubris. That's the real root cause. Them thinking they are so much better and enlightened that they have to lead us, tell us barbarian savages how to behave properly in a society.
@@JohnS-il1dr DEI = Didn't Earn It
And the disrespect for animation.
Why blame the wtiters without first blaming the suits that hired them?
Not that the writers don't deserve blame, but they were hired and placed in their creative positions by the suits; not to mention the suits tell them what to write in the first place.
I've been to one movie since 2018. I'm in crushing poverty but that's not why I stopped watching. I won't support anything that openly hates me and wants my culture destroyed.
Ikr? I've been disabled since '21(bad car accident),and going to a theater to throw away twenty bucks just isn't in my budget anymore,then again seeing what Hollyweird's had to offer for the past few years I'm not really missing out on anything. 🤷♂️
I agree but there are good movies that do respect us and the franchises they are apart of like ghost busters afterlife and frozen empire, Godzilla movies and mission impossible to name a few. And with how studios have basically speed run there movies to there own streaming platform it's easier to spend $20 and see that movie plus everything else they have for a month then cancel.
Same....Other than the Terrifier horror films the only movies I've watched since 2018 have been directed by 2 men....Quentin Tarantino (Once upon a time in Hollywood) and Martin Scorsese (The Irishman/Killers of the Flower moon). QT and Marty are nearing the end of their impressive careers with no talented young auteurs coming up behind them.....F'n great.
My last movie was The Last Jedi (2017) only because my son insisted. Everything else I've waited for streaming.
I'm never going to a theater again after that terrible sequel to Frozen Disney dishonored the franchise with.
I love how they trot out every single excuse for why no one is watching their movies except for the one that's true.
They can't handle the truth!
Pretty sure it is sight fatigue. Most people have used their eyes so much they got tired of it and decided to close their eyes this year.
I speak with my wallet..... and my wallet doesn't speak to Hollywood anymore...
Can’t wait to not watch Mad MAX, without Mad Max
Can't have a female heroine who isn't coat-tailing a man in this creative wasteland. Also by this point I'm so jaded I wouldn't even give a NEW female led franchise a chance. At least let it be a compliment to men... very little good in this world remains without the strength and courage of men. They'll come for women just as soon as they are done with them, because then nothing will stand in their way.
it's not mad max it's mad maxine
With the exception of death race 2000 mad max without mad max isn’t worth it.
You mean you aren’t interested in a female centric prequel spinoff of a male led franchise? That’s weird.
Thing is, the lore of Mad Max is good enough to have movies set in that universe without Max. The problem is that we already know that it will be more D.E.I nonsense instead of plot. All three of the movies, I don't acknowledge Fury Road, had well written strong female characters. D.E.I is only capable of giving us Mad Maxine
Let the fake gods of Mt. Hollywoke crumble and realize they're mortals once all their glitter falls off.
I just don't want people to lose their jobs. Hard working Americans work in Hollywood at all levels and the same goes for the already struggling movie theaters. Heck the one theater in my town shut down after decades this year.it was a staple of our little town, and where I've gone on many a date.

@@vegetashairline3060The one theater in my small town closed down around 2000,it only had two screens anyway and couldn't compete against the cineplex chains over in the larger city about 40 minutes away.
@@vegetashairline3060 Well that's too bad but its not like they are innocent angels in all this, they actively worked in this toxic environment and should have realized that they are making on borrowed time and should've planned ahead.
A wonderful sentence
Hollywood can only blame Hollywood
The problem with Hollywood being in deep shit is that it's already shit.
Like trying to recover a glass of water you accidentally spilled into a lake...
Good analogy. 👏👏👏👍
@@zacharymcmillan2788 Thanks!
Try the Pacific Ocean.

No
Count Dankula has the appropriate quote:
"Oh, no! What happened? Oh, no, how terrible! That's just awful! How terrible! Oh, no!"
Love me some Dank. 😂👍
It'll be OK Disney just go touch grass...
I touched grass yesterday and it was great. I accidentally scared a pheasant that was hiding in the tall grass, took photos of swans, dwarf cormorants, small gulls, wild ducks, and even a fox (from afar). It was a largely sunny, warm day and I felt very relaxed.
Touching grass? Highly recommended.
That'll be a change - for the last few years I think they've just been smoking it :)
People need to touch grass
If you can't afford to buy FAST FOOD, who can pay for movie tickets?! $20 FF meals per person?! The prices have jumped so high in just the last few years, people on fixed incomes can't even afford to rent a studio apartment, they're having to rent rooms in other people's houses.
Exactly! Burger King charges two US dollars for one hamburger. Not a double, not a cheeseburger, nothing special. Just an ordinary hamburger, which used to cost 89 cents just five years ago, now costs two dollars.
Bidenomics
True...still if there was a fresh new world with new plots & new characters to see, I'd skip a meal! However, the reality of poverity running rampant over the middle class which is now low class is not helping.
Cruml Cookies just went up on me on Doordash. I was already only going to order my favorite flavors whenever they come up this year, now theyr'e making it impossible to even try new flavors UNLESS they come out alongside favorites. And even then I may have to cut down the list of four cookies Im always eager for...to two.
I sm perfectly fine with fast food being expensive - it's kind of like a "sin tax" which gives everyone an incentive to not eat that junk.
I’m old enough to remember how Batman and Robin with $125 million dollar budget flopping ended some careers. But that was before da message was more important than da profit lol
Channels like this should accuse and point more towards the investors who are pushing for the message. We all know weirdo gay lunatic pro LGBT politicians and inside Blackrock are the ones investing and funding these failures.
If they scrapped EVERYTHING in the pipeline and started over, pretending were in the 90s and people want to be entertained. They MIGHT recover...
Their goal and endgame is being played now. To overturn what you knew as "normal life" . And destroy every country that didn't happen to be non-white 😲
Planet of the Apes was good…
but they can't do that. and they reason they can't do that, is even if they wanted to do that, they can't because the talent pool they have access to...isn't talented enough to do that. they don't have the capability.
@@MrSGL21That is a great point, and one that many just don't seem to understand.
Even if they recover i will still only pirate their films. it is a duty to practice forms of resistance !!!
They only have themselves to blame for all of this.
They were warned time and time again.
Those warnings fell on deaf ears.
Now comes the consequences.
The issue is they destroyed all their good will and no one has any expectations for movies anymore. The only people who talk about movies now are the people in the culture war.
Or the hardcore
Edit fans
Hollywood: This movie isn't made for you. Don't watch it.
Also Hollywood: It's your fault we're all a bunch of talentless hacks!
I want to start a movie theater that replays old classics. Pulp Fiction, Titanic. Stuff like that.
Be the change you want to see in the world!
I’ll go to your theater in a day
Alamo Drafthouse does this but they're not everywhere. I see more classics that I either missed or loved than I do new movies.
If theaters wanna make money they'll just play old movies. Who wouldn't watch karate kid 3 in theaters today? I really wanna watch backdraft in a theater
@@kevlark3184 There's stuff I would watch just to go out. I would watch "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
Imagine ditching box office because you thought streaming was the golden goose. Thanks to this, people are waiting for it to come out on streaming.
Imagine ditching the secondary market because you thought streaming was the Golden Goose.
Planet of the apes - budget 160m, marketing likely 80m total 240m. Considering theatres and taxes take roughly half the box office gross, they'll need 480m worldwide to break even.
That movie isn't making that much. There are exceptions but OMB Reviews has brought up that most films only make triple of their opening weekend which means this is most likely if it gets there to cap around $375 million. BUT also it seems like this is the kind of movie that a lot of people won't see again on the big screen and also some were not pleased with the first viewing so it might have an unpleasant drop that causes everyone to panic again in week two.
Marketing wasmore than that. I've seen commercials for it everywhere.
@@poisonedyoyoBull crap the movie not even finish at the box office
Considering the fact that all they do is push political ideologies instead of great storytelling? This doesn’t shock me. Lol
It's not that they have to prove it's worth seeing, they have to prove it's not going to be a bait-n-switch like they've been doing with every movie for the past 4 or 5 years.
Exactly
When a family of 2 is $50 to go to the movies, people really do get a little more choosy.
People are done with Hollywood in general. Too much bad press for them. Too many scandals and they are all very revealing to how that monster operates. People are thinking twice about participating in that.
The only thing that Warner bros discovery currently has that is worth watching is smiling friends. Without it, Wbd is worthless
Bull crap
@@animezilla4486 your going to have to qualify that to be taken seriously. 🙄🙄 Amateur.....
Hollywood has to reprove itself.. sequels and remakes won’t do it
The Deadpool and Wolverine movie is going to carry the box office on its BACK for the rest of the year, and well into early 2025. That's how abysmal things are in Hollywood right now.
Well lets not have any assumptions yet. It may do well but knowing hpw Disney spends their money it may not even meet their expectations
@@Eva01-jy2qu7pu9r Most folks will turn out for Hugh Jackman alone. Between him and Ryan Reynolds, as cool of a guy as he is, Mr. Jackman simply has more drawing power. So really he's going to carry this movie and the box office.
But even if it doesn't meet Disney's expectations, Deadpool and Wolverine have a better chance of earning back its budget compared to The Marvels or most other Hollywood films. And we can't deny that.
@@LunaMane Yeah it will be an undeniable success, even if Disney may not see it that way
I’ll wait for it to come out digitally then torrent it.
Disciple me 4 could have a decent impact. It’s a crap shoot
I have such fond childhood memories of going to the movies. The decline of the movie theater industry is not just about the deterioration of content, which can be viewed alternatively on streaming, but also the loss of all the things that made going to the theater an event like eating popcorn and oversized candy, laughing or clapping with an audience, piling into a friend's car or the family car to go out, hanging out at the mall before or after a film, and going on a dates. These kinds of memories can't be replicated in a home theater.
Another Grim year for Hollywoke
Rear Window a being released in theaters in august. And blazing saddles is being rereleased in September to celebrate its 50th. Spend your money wisely folks!
I can’t believe that Blazing Saddles would be shown in his modern age.
@@RenlangRen I expect a lot of 'bleep'ing.
Netflix streamed it a few month ago
I would absolutely go to see Vertigo, oh please oh please may it happen!
Mean Girls is being rereleased on October third.
Someone would make a traditional movie with a strong man that is an action hero that saves a damsel in distress. No woke nonsense. It would crush the box office.
Reminder than 2022 Top Gun Maverick grossed over 150 mil opening weekend, and went on to gross almost 2 billion. People will go see a movie, if it makes sense. Maverick was worth seeing on the big screen.
You know what else is a great film worth seeing in theaters? Fall Guy yet no one is going to see that. People pass on great films in theaters all the time.
And five nights at Freddy’s was so successful because it was made for the fans. And also because it’s FNAF
We tried to tell them……for Nine long years….
Dr Who did what no other IP could do, I wouldn't feel safe letting my dog watch anything Disney.
It’s bbc owned, not Disney btw
@@maxmazzotti6651 Say that out loud!
@@maxmazzotti6651The recent Dr Who series is financed by Disney, so it’s also Disney now.
Wait until AI comes on the scene-goodbye traditional film studios and human actors.
Almost every big budget thing in the last 5 years feels AI generated anyway:
- girl boss
- cheap yet expensive CGI
- white man bad
- white man’s money bad
- cast calls people all of the -ists before the movie come out
- only romance is between dudes
- gay!!
goodbye to human casts..this is DEI still.
I don’t think that’s the win you think it is. It’s going to get worse from there because the ai will only do exactly what it’s programmed, specifically by the creators of the ai. Remember the scandal with the pope/george Washington/etc?
If that happens im just gnna buy a bunch of dvds with actually good movies.
If that happened the theaters would need to keep the lights on cause all the actors would be too dark to see otherwise
Hollywood has become that great aunt who buys high heels for her 5 y/o niece. It's a gift for themselves while pretending it's for someone else.
Cost of living crisis, disenchanted with movies, sick of abuse from elites in the industry, lousy products... lots of reasons Also weird things such as I wanted to see Ministry of ungentlemanly warfare, here in Oz can't find a reliable release date for a movie that would normally already be in the theatres.
Plus, that Reacher idiot mouthing off didn't help matters, either.
Most movies I’m seeing this year are bloody rereleases since everything else looks terrible….
These days anyone who wants to see a movie in theaters sees it in the first week and everyone else is more than content to wait for the streaming release. It sucks for theaters, but the industry did this to itself.
Kingdom had the 2nd highest opening for any Ape movie, it also has luckily been non woke, so I think this movie is fine
Yea I'm surprised that some inept black supremist isn't claiming them to be black
Seems like all entertainment is collapsing. Hmm, I wonder what they've all had in common in recent years. 🤔
Communist infiltrators,
With 160 million cost with 75 million marketing your going to have to get close to 500 million to break even. With the inflation at the theater even less people are going to the theater.
People are having issues paying for overpriced products and the economy is bad so they do not have as much extra money so they do not want to spend their money on bad or mediocre movies.
As TV screens get bigger, the movie theater experience seems pointless. Movie theaters will dwindle, like arcades of the past. Games at home, no point to leave. When theater chains shutter, studios will collapse. Dominos.
Sonic 3 is the only thing I will see in theaters.
Me too.
John Wick the Hedgehog, let's go!
Well I guess attacking and alienating your customers is not good for long term business.
Well, they need to stop worrying about DEI and worry about editors. Why is every movie 2, 2.5, 3 hours? Nobody has all damn day to watch a movie that could have been 90 minutes to 100 minutes long.
Ugh Amen to that fren. All these movies take out a huge chunk of your day just to be a slog.
true, there are millions of things to do these days and not enough time to do them all. I hate thing that waste my time more than ever
Tell that to avatar 2 and oppenheimer, both were successful
I think Hollywood needs a balance of 90 minute and longer run times. Some movies DEFINITELY need more time to properly tell the story, but others are just writers causing problems
I prefer getting my money's worth. Editing is a problem though even then, because I want a well paced 3 hour movie with lots of plot, not a 3 hour bore fest or filler piece. Why do 3 hour movies have as much plot as 90 minute ones?
I don't even watch movies in the theater anymore. Some of the stuff they put in there - whether it's gratuitous sex, woke virtue signalling, or avant-garde bullshit - cumulatively turned me off so much I was ashamed to go, especially alone
YOU GET TO SEE SEX IN YOUR MOVIES?!
Your movies still have bumping uglies?!
@@KetsubanSolo Yeah, I remember one of the janitors came in and just stood there in the corner watching the sex scene with me. You could say it was a turning point. I can't even imagine how I would have reacted if it had been a full house
D23 this August in Anaheim California. That's the event where Disney will onload it's dump truck of future garbage on the public💩
Yes and they will only allow their shills in and also they will vet in reporters by giving them piss poor questions that no one gives a f*ck about.
Yep, also in that vein, people keep using the phrase, "No one asked for this" about projects, but...there are some film titles that people very much DID ask for, doesnt' mean they'll be liked when they come out. Examples: Moana 2, heavily requested when the live action was announced in very early 2023. Kingdom Hearts, heavily requested when Wish came out for the 100th anniversary. Incredibles III, constantly brought up, Encanto 2.
make em get normal jobs
Hollywood collapsing? Oh noh, wah happun. Oh noh. Finally. 😂
Tell me about it. Can't happen fast enough. 😂
and this is why I read books because they’re 10 times more enjoyable than the crap that Hollywood makes these days
Or people picking up a hobby.
Same. I listen to old audio books.
Heck even the Star Wars novels under new management are (mostly) more competent than any of their shows lmao
People don't trust Hollywood or film critics. How many utter pieces of crap have critics praised either because they were paid to or they like the politics (or both)? As for the studios people just expect they'll be some awful political message that they'll attempt to ram down your throat in every new movie. Why bother with anything new when you know older stuff you like. I think some theaters are going to get desperate and just start showing older movies just to get butts in seats, with the added benefit that they don't have to share the revenue with the studio.
I’m still baffled Cuties has a higher critic score than the FNAF movie.
Bull crap explain to me why Godzilla x Kong the new empire from the new empire did well
@@animezilla4486 Because it was good with no bullshit, it didn't come from a major studio, and the critics hated it.
Howdy Geeky! Hi Kneon.
Train your audience to watch steaming and all the bad publicity. Hollywood wearing blinders.
A part of me is happy to see Hollywood crumbling, but a part of me is also sad that the entertainment industry is in such a bad state now that "shared-generational experiences" have all but become a thing of the past, and we're pretty much clinging to childhood nostalgia for dear life and going back to old media from past decades, instead of wanting anything new
I partially blame the algorithm. Content platforms were so intent on serving up exactly what you want when you want it that everyone is basically in their own entertainment bubble.
I am looking backwards to the movies and tv shows of my childhood. The current garbage that Hollywood and the networks are is pretty much unwatchable! I would rather watch the first jaws movie or m.a.s.h then anything new… It was a simpler time and my mother was still was with us.
Cheers!
Most of the movies coming out are either a little demonic or incredibly demonic. They're also blasphemous and they intentionally insult fans directly, so no. I'm not going to see any movies lately.
All things eventually come to an end.....
It’s inevitable
"Everything that has a beginning, has an end neo" or should that be kneon 😁
Los Angeles is over. 🎉🎉🎉
Remember when the studios were shoving all of their big movies into like 12 weeks last year to make up for the years they were holding onto their big movies because of the pandemic?
They probably wish they had held onto some of those movies for this year instead.
Furiosa sound like something a furry would call themselves
Furries don't talk. You're being ridiculous.
It's 'FuriOOOsa,' not 'FuriosAAH'.
The last movie I saw in theaters was Godzilla Minus One. The last movie I saw in the theater before that was... I honestly have no idea. Probably Spider-Man: No Way Home?
Oppenheimer was the last film that I saw in theatres, and the only reason I saw it was because it piqued my curiosity, and everything else that was out at the time was crap anyways.
I’ll stick with anime and overseas movies, or old classics like I Love Lucy, Seinfeld etc.
Or Golden Girls.
I wish we would have gotten something on the St. Olaf stories. I wanna know if they were scripted or ad-libbed.
Betty took the answer with her to the dang grave.
Boycotting Hollywood is doing gospel. Other countries are able to live without Hollywood. Movie theaters can stay in business by showing anime movies.
They could also start showing any number of the 10’s of thousands of classic films. Hell, Episode I just destroyed Disney’s newest turds and that film came out 25 years ago.
End of Evangelion was only in theatres for 2 non-consecutive days back in March... Sold out, great crowd
@@TheDayMang Movie theaters even showed the sub versions.
@@LuigiTheMetal64Is it toppling Planet of the Apes? You gotta step up further.
@@Ryan-vl2nnbull crap
There were a few movies in theaters again for their anniversary that I got to see recently. I had so much fun, I forgot how much I love going to the theaters. They just need to show old movies from now on so some of us can have fun again. There is absolutely nothing I'm looking forward to seeing in theaters anymore.
I hope someone in Hollywood noticed just how many views the Amazing Digital Circus got in just the first few hours of episode 2's release, because *that* should make them worry.
'Mario' was the only 'event' movie for me. (F*ck 'Barbie'. I'd rather watch 'Oppenheimer' if I had A choice) Until Disney, and Warner Bros. get their act together, I'll never watch their movies ever again. I'll open up A theater that runs their classic movies, and cartoon shorts.
I take it you aren’t a fnaf fan?
@@Cubeytheawesome perhaps, but I'm okay with it.
I've been out of movies for so long that I just don't care to watch anything new.
The only thing interesting/entertaining I get from movies now is hearing about the flops.
That doesn't make any sense
Laziness is what is killing hollywood. TOO MANY SEQUELS. Too much same old same old. 😭😓💔
No, it's awful writing. The original stuff has been dreadful.
@@OhSayWhatIsTruth Awful writing sadly is often caused by lazy writing. Some of the original stuff has had potential but another problem is the CEOs keep pushing, changing, their agendas too fit politics or a archaic profit mindset focusing too much on money and not enough on creation. Same thing happened to Blizzard, they ignored the artists and authors for cheaper, quicker solutions and lost in the end.
Declining box office receipts in a period of significant inflation should be viewed as especially damning.
I'll be brutally honest...
Over the last four years especially.
I and countless others have become so used to streaming. Be it free ad-supported sites, monthly paid subscriptions, or a one time rental to the point where we'll just wait for whatever we're interested in to be streamed in the comfort of our own homes.
The theater experience has severely deteriorated these past few years and no...
We won't fall for the over hyped "Shared Experience".
Especially when the experience is ruined by overpriced tickets and concessions. Not to mention other disruptive patrons in the cinema.
Movie theaters are a relic of the past. One can put together a few hundred dollars and have a home theater setup that's far superior.
I won't give Disney a dime again, ever.
That's why I switch to watching shows instead of movies. Watching shows on Netflix is much cheaper than going to a theatre.
And you can watch some good shit too, I’ve yet to watch Blue Eye samurai but I’ve heard good things about it
@@JoseHernandez-xv2btit’s a great series. It is adult themed in nature (nsfw bits here and there), but it’s amazingly done
@@JoseHernandez-xv2bt it's awesome, then watch arcane
And why not? Along with widescreen and a streaming service why spend WAY too much money on 5 or 6 people to see a movie,when you can just buy your snacks and sodas and watch in comfort?
True. But I do like the shared experience of going to the movies.
Long live the Star Wars Holiday Special
Hollywood needs to cut the big tent pole movies and make cheaper well written movies. Godzilla minus 1 shows how its done
If Hollywood lowers the limbo bar any further, then even Antman won't be able to get under it
Last two movies I saw in the theater were Top Gun 2 and The Northman.
Can't think of a single movie coming out this year that will change anything.
The guy who made the Northman has his next film coming out this year. A vampire film called Nosferatu starring the real life brother of the lead actor in the Northman.
I want to say this about Garfield. I am no fan of Garfield but the ads have been great. It’s honestly the only movie I’ve been getting ads for in a long time.
If the movie bombs, I’ll imagine a lot of people will be out of a job.
Then again, Chris Pratt has never had a dull role.
The upcoming animated movie will be released this Friday.
My mom went and watched Planet of the Apes without me, and I was mad about it. But then she said it was the worst one they’ve made and it was stupid
"Disney is ready to bounce back" - the corpse always bounces a bit when it lands at the base of a skyscraper 😂
Sucks to be Disney they better go back to what they used to be or they'll be forced to shut itself down in terms of films maybe they'll put more focus on their own theme park
Nooooooooooooooo! I went and saw Monkey World last night and had no idea it was Disney until the credits rolled, and even then I held out hope that Disney's 20th Century Fox was different from 20th Century Studios.
Yeah no it's just Fox now, no more 20th Century Fox. 20th Century is Disney owned so anything by them is Disney now
It's now referred to as 20th Century Studios.
It is a bit confusing. But maybe this will help.
Originally, it was 20th Century Fox which is owned by 21st Century Fox. When Disney bought 20th Century Fox from 21st century fox, 20th century fox became 20th century studios and 21st century fox became Fox corporation.
So in summary, 20th Century Studios is owned by Disney. Fox corporation is a separate company owned by Rupert Murdoch.
Many people are cutting streaming services. Why would anyone bother with a movie in the theater?
Around when I was born movie tickets were under $2.00. Now I think it's like around $12 on average (quick google since I don't go to movies anymore). Yeah I can see why people don't go especially with other costs going up, streaming, and the fight to keep wages low. Something to be said for good story and low budget effects.
I used to spend hundreds of dollars a month on anything I loved from pop culture/the entertainment industry (dvds/blurays/video games/collectibles etc etc) and nowadays my bank account savings are swelling to levels I've never saved before because there is nothing out there I care about enough to spend cash on. I wonder how many other regular folk are in the same position as me. Im not just gonna blindly give my hard earned cash away to people who despise me and my values, they can all F right off.
Bad writing, forced ideological propaganda, and blaming the fans for Hollywoods failures has turned movie goers away.
Why spend movie theater money on low budget streaming quality offerings?
Hollywood collapsing? Good.
Braking milestones? What milestone? That people even showed up? Truly Hollywood's slipped into bizzaro world.
Who would have thought a five month strike would have tanked theaters?
I saw kingdom of the planet of the apes yesterday and it was actually nice to see people in the cinema. It wasn’t full, but it was still nice to see people there
I will say, I actually enjoyed the Fallout: New Ve- I mean, the Planet of the Apes movie.
Seriously though it's literally New Vegas with monkeys. The villain is fucking Caesar down to the "loves Roman history, doesn't understand it". The entire plot was stopping him from breaking into a Vault-Tec vault, the interior looked like an upscale/realism mod of Fallout 4.
I have a big screen, and millions of hours of movies and t.v., not much reason to spend the money, deal with a bunch of people who have their heads stuck up their butts and can't be bothered to put their cellphones away, screaming and crying kids, sticky floors, just to watch some mediocre movie that's "not for me".
'Street Hawk' (1985)
Haven't heard anyone mention that show in a while. 😀
Hope nobody tries to remake/reboot it for "modern audiences". 😯
Theaters around here have been showing Anime (subtitles) lately. Next one is Nausicaa or however you spell it. Real shocker, huh, that the older movies are better than newer ones. Another local theater (local as in only one) has these Tuesday morning showings and a couple of weeks ago it was Raiders of the Lost Ark--- for free. If hollyweird is really worried then they can always open up the archives and release movies that are not only good but have long since broken even.
Realistically we are just now seeing the effects of the writing and acting strikes.
