Reboots, remakes, adaptations are.

This Summer box office is way different than I was expecting. Mario may really be the biggest film of the year😆

[wish]

Everyone is FINALLY sick of these same old overdone blockbuster franchises

[Gossip_Boy]

This might end up being a bigger flop even than The Flash given the budget.  This summer so far has been an actual bloodbath

Nobody wanted this movie. 

[Price of Fame]

Releasing 200 million dollars+ movies every other week and expecting them all to make a billion dollars isn't a sustainable business model

I would call Little Mermaid and Fast X underperformances not pure flops but I guess considering they both could have been billion dollar pictures I understand their inclusion 

 

I don't mind franchises and sequels so long as the people creating them tell the stories in a compelling fashion. It is possible to have fulfilling remakes, sequels, and franchises, I just hope Hollywood realizes they can't keep relying on name recognition and IP alone. I think this is where Barbie will become a gold standard of sorts (hopefully.) Taking a beloved property and using it in a creative way and even adding satire/social critique. 

 

The other thing to consider is that Mario did just make over a billion dollars with a rather insipid plot (still enjoyed it though.) So I guess this might have to do more with overcrowding and premium screens than audiences truly being 'over' franchises and whatnot.

Thank god box office elixir Margot Robbie is slaying with her arthouse hit Asteroid City and upcoming Barbie.

 

a so called box office poison slaying the summer. We love to see it.

Give us something new (and good)

All of these movies are losing/have lost 100+ million in theatrical release, that is undeniably a bomb.

Tbf a lot of these movies have inflated budget partly due to covid. But better budget management is definitely needed moving forward.

Pretty sure it's more than locked in for that.

[Attitude]

Disney is really struggling this summer.

 

[Europe]

I mean, not one of the movies in the OP is good. So it makes sense they are flopping. At least Mario did something fresh and look, that was a success.

Didn't realize that. I was going off of reported budget next to WW gross and thought Fast and Mermaid were at least breaking even (still disastrous obviously) 

[ninasayers]

It's kinda funny to see some of you say audiences are tired of regurgitated trash content when the Mario movie is the most successful film of the year. 

[Mr. Blue_Shirt]

2023 is the year of flop summer blockbuster films

 

Spiderverse really dogwalking these movies like that ddd

[Blue Rose]

not you sneaking TLM in there thinking we wouldn’t notice  

[bjorn]

What do all those movies have in common? 
 

They are god awfully bad. That’s why.

TLM has more than broken even. People say it’s a flop because it didn’t gross 1B which is very unrealistic. Not to mention it will be a huge on Disney+

[Daddy]

I will watch it twice. First with a friend and later with my dad when he's in town.
