The Man Who Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 1 minute ago, John Slayne said: I used to like Marvel but they fell off hard, I think I've seen one movie and one show of theirs post-Endgame their formula has just run so stale, I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like this judging by their recent BO numbers. I'm here for new X-Men films though I think there’s still been some gems post-Endgame, but I wasn’t a fan of how many movies and television shows they were releasing. It became a chore to try and watch them all, especially when there’s other things to watch outside of the MCU. I still haven’t seen Black Panther 2, The Eternals, She-Hulk, Loki, Hawkeye, Moon Knight or The Falcon and the Winter Soldier yet as it was becoming too damn much, but I know they’re still capable of releasing quality content as we’ve seen with WandaVision, GOTG3 and Spider-Man: No Way Home. It just feels like they were choosing quantity over quality for most of Phase Four, although I didn’t find anything to be ‘awful’ - just not as strong as we’ve come to expect. I’m already seeing improvements as they seem to have slowed down with how much content they’re releasing and some of the upcoming movies like Deadpool 3, Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts and Blade have me hyped.

Gossip_Boy Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 THG:TBoS&S has a reasonable budget so I doubt it’s going to flop but the cold critical reception definitely impacted the momentum a bit. They should’ve waited a bit to lift the embargo but I guess they didn’t see it coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BNF91 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 The Marvels did $1.8M on its first Wednesday (-45% from Tues).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctlp27 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 HG is def not flopping. Projects were at 50-60 millions before the end of the strike and embargo. Reviews seems mixed but I still think there's an appetite for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BNF91 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Hunger Games looking to underperform as well; Thursday previews are around $5M, $39-44M weekend. Can't see it doing much more than $100-120M domestic from there. Budget is only $100M but Lionsgate was certainly hoping for better than this for the Hunger Games series, all of which have opened to over $100M.

BNF91 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 $1.2M Thursday for The Marvels, another -31% from Wed. These daily drops are insane. It might go under $10M this weekend. Hunger Games official previews $5.75M, bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The production budget alone is over 200M, second factor is trajectory of movies most comic book opens strong and show weak legs. Given all factors most people who follow boxoffice can tell this is gonna lose money 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welham Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 I can't take the Hunger Games movie seriously tbh. Something about it feels... unserious. Like a high-budgeted CW-vibes movie, and a lot of recent movies give me these vibes tbh. Something about the actors, cinematography, and plots... I just don't get that serious effort and thinking was put into these projects. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BNF91 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Jesus Christ. These numbers are worse than even the most pessimistic forecasts.
