Free Guy was a good deal better than it had any right to be based on the trailers.I dunno, the Free Guy looks like a fun movie that's based on a new original ideal
I love Keanu, but I would have been okay with a completely new cast as well.Also, for THE MATRIX to be successful as a franchise it shouldn't need Keanu Reeves.
Yeah, I gave it a shot due to it being a Ryan Reynolds vehicle, even though otherwise I had misgivings. But IMO, they hit it out of the park. Not an epic movie, but very enjoyable on all almost all fronts - other than Tiaka Waititi's caricature.Free Guy was a good deal better than it had any right to be based on the trailers.
Yeah, that was pretty obnoxious.Tiaka Waititi's caricature.
agreed 100%I love Keanu, but I would have been okay with a completely new cast as well.
Due to CV-19, I don't think anyone is going to the movies like they used to, so no matter what, it's not fair to say any money is left on the table. Don't see this trend reversing,
not really.
I havent heard numbers for hbo max, but I know disney plus was looking to add an additional 20 million users this quarter.
20 million x $8
on top of the 115 million subs they already have.
I am not sure how that large number is not a sign of a huge blow for theater (if you are not responding to the message just above), but the average price is much lower than that (expending market once hte USA saturate like India and other are not paying $8 a month):not really.

Disney+ Hotstar Mobile | Rs. 499 / year |
Studio tend to be small part of giant conglomerate that can sustain quite a lot versus the past when studio has company existed (there is Liongates that is still close to that, Weinstein before), but among them, Fox do not exist anymore and Paramount-Viacom seem announcing they are getting out of the large theatrical movie making businessmost studios seem to be doing ok still.

Newer market is bringing the average around $4, I imagine around $8 for US an europe (they are many promotion and cross deal that could bring it down) and $1 or less in emerging market.
Disney+ Hotstar Mobile Rs. 499 / year
That less than $8 USD for a complete year of Disney+ (and much more attach to it) in India if I am reading this right.

That
That include TV and video game production arm that did better in 2020 than movies
I am really unsure here of what you mean but around the globe very few will pay for those that will be an very american affair (plus a bit of UK and other with an historic of high spending home ent population), has for HBO charging nothing it is less clear but it is more indirect but in a way they do, you pay $60 more a year if you want to be able to watch movie on release but it also buy an ads free experience for other content at the same time, but if there was only 2-3 movies you wanted to see that way, that a good price for them, but it is a very confusing product line up.Why are we not including the $30 new movie fee Disney charges and the $0 HBO charges on top of the monthly sub?
Just realized HBO Max is releasing this as well.
Wow, that's a huge blow to the theaters.
This is simply a IMHO reply to this. But word of mouth is a huge thing, and I wouldn't be in any way surprised if the word was "Yeah this movie is kind of meh" and that is a good chunk at why the movie sharply declined. Other factors too could be those who really wanted to see it the opening weekend did and due to the way things are still everyone else can happily wait to see it. Then there's the Disney+ access, I think you get unlimited viewings when you pay your $30? So having friends over as a watch party initially or some time later allows multiple people to watch without paying extra. But again IMO, if people were thinking this was going to be another Avengers type of movie draw I think those people were highly delusional, this was a character we already knew about, we knew she didn't have any super powers, so what's the real draw of watching it?I did a little reading and found out...it is hurting studios. Apparently because everyone sees it on week one, and then it sharply declines vs in the theaters its a slower roll out where people still watch it on week 2.
"The release of Black Widow earlier this month was one of the biggest tests of a new Hollywood paradigm that emerged after the coronavirus pandemic began: the simultaneous rollout of a blockbuster in theaters and on streaming services. The latest Marvel movie opened in thousands of cinemas in the U.S. and Canada on the same day it was made available to Disney+ subscribers for a $30 surcharge. At first, the gambit seemed to work. In its opening weekend, the film made $80 million at the domestic box office and another $60 million in streaming—a seemingly perfect argument for a hybridized approach.
Then came last weekend, when Black Widow posted $26.3 million, a 67 percent drop at the box office and the steepest such decline in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brand. Unlike the week before, Disney didn’t tout its online sales numbers, suggesting a similarly sharp fall. The pent-up hype for the first Marvel movie in two years meant a strong start, but Black Widow now looks as though it will struggle to beat the domestic total of the first Captain America film, from 10 years ago."

Scarlett Johansson in a catsuit \.But again IMO, if people were thinking this was going to be another Avengers type of movie draw I think those people were highly delusional, this was a character we already knew about, we knew she didn't have any super powers, so what's the real draw of watching it?
while I totally agree with your statement, on the other end of that is maybe studios shouldn't be banking on every MCU film to make 5-600 million dollars or compare it with the billion dollar ones.Also, Black Widow is nowhere near the popularity of a character like Captain America. It's not surprising the new movie didn't do as well.

Also, people are fatigued. I was following the MCU movies at the beginning, but then I missed a few, and there have been too many movies, I can't catch up.while I totally agree with your statement, on the other end of that is maybe studios shouldn't be banking on every MCU film to make 5-600 million dollars or compare it with the billion dollar ones.
Considering that every single MCU entry post Avenger in 2012 did 500-600m or more that was not unreasonable to expect.while I totally agree with your statement, on the other end of that is maybe studios shouldn't be banking on every MCU film to make 5-600 million dollars or compare it with the billion dollar ones.
Not a single person thought that, would it be Winter Soldier type of draw or Captain Marvel type of draw was the lower and upper bound people had in mind in 2019 I think.if people were thinking this was going to be another Avengers type of movie draw
Domestic at least, it did 80m OW during a pandemy and it's measure showing strong demand (that about what Dr Strange did ending up with 676m WW), probably not far off where Captain America was in 2014Also, Black Widow is nowhere near the popularity of a character like Captain America. It's not surprising the new movie didn't do as well.
Agreed, absurdly silly mcguffun. But I still find enjoyment watching all those movies for the other parts.I stopped watching the MCU movies after my wife wanted me to go see the one with the infinity stones in it and all the disappearing people. It was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in a theater and I refuse to watch subsequent MCU films. Jewelry that makes people disappear is just a little too far into crazyland.
You're new to comic books, aren't you?I stopped watching the MCU movies after my wife wanted me to go see the one with the infinity stones in it and all the disappearing people.

I have never enjoyed comicbooks.You're new to comic books, aren't you?
Well, don't expect to find much enjoyment in the MCU, then... Thanos and his storyline have been large parts of Marvel comics for years!I have never enjoyed comicbooks.
