I really think if they could make a great star wars movie like esb now, people would go nuts for it. I think there is still a ton of interest in sw but the movies so far have definitely killed some of the hype.I don't know man, maybe it's just me but I don't see any one excited about SW any more

I don't understand how anyone could be saying that with a straight face. Takes like yours are so off putting that it makes me kinda ashamed to say that I loved Aquaman. Like I've said on the DCEU thread, DCEU fans need to get better with winning. Aquaman is a success, some people don't like it and wish Bumblebee and Spider-Verse get more spotlight. That's fair, and with success you also need to learn how to win and be a good sport on situations like this.
In short, what I'm saying is: stop embarassing me and certainly others that loved Aquaman as well with this non-sense. It's okay that not all people enjoyed Aquaman. No, Aquaman isn't the second coming, Aquaman isn't better than the Star Wars OT and NT films either. But it's certainly awesome. I'm stoked to watch Bumblebee later this week and Spider-Verse in January 10 when it opens around here. I do hope those films get more word of mouth, and that DC fans learn to be good sports so people won't be put off watching what I think it's a legit excellent superhero film with a lot of spectacle. Learn to have nice things.

Yes it was dope!What ? A stupid back and forth concluded by some cheesy Asian inspired trident moves is good now ?
Hopefully Aquaman's success accelerates WBs plan with the Flash movie!Great idea - The Flash / Cyborg multiversal buddy action comedy has huge potential
Hopefully Aquaman's success accelerates WBs plan with the Flash movie!
Blue Beatle seems as it'll be a lot more likely to happen soon rather than a Flash movie.they have plans to make like a million movies though... if anything needs to be accelerated it's the Blue Beetle movie and not a white dude hero tied to Snyders movies
Flash is going to happen. It was all set to start production next year but it got delayed due to Erza needing to film FB3 (a decision WB might be regretting right now).Blue Beatle seems as it'll be a lot more likely to happen soon rather than a Flash movie.
For those of you who haven't followed along in past holiday seasons, and are wondering why everything is bombing, here is a demonstrative projection on how the holidays help.
Mary Poppins grossed just over 8M on Sunday as part of its 23.5M three day opening and 32M five day opening. People are right that a gross of that nature would typically be terrible. However, we are heading into the holidays.
The expected drop for today is going to be 40% or so. Christmas day itself has no huge openers, so expect the the same gross as Sunday or better. Being quite conservative, let's say $13M combined. Around 45M total.
Wednesday and Thursday are typically even stronger than Xmas (especially for films with family appeal), so at least 16M, putting the the total in the low 60s.
When Christmas falls on a Tuesday or Wednesday, films can often stay flat or increase on their post xmas weekend. Worst case scenario here is going to be -20% for something like Mary Poppins with no previews inflating last Fri-Sun. Let's say roughly 20M, with a total just over 80M now (through Dec 30th).
New Years Eve in this configuration is stronger than Christmas Eve, and most films will make more next Monday than today. New Year's Day is typically not as strong as Xmas. Averaged out, let's call a typical scenario -10% for NYE+NYD over Xmas Eve + Xmas. This is roughly $12M more.
Kids start going back to school after that, so the weekdays drop rapidly. Lets say $5M for Wed/Thurs Jan 2/3. Down at least 2/3rds.
An expected drop in the following weekend, with a few opening films, would be 45%. In our case $11M.
So to add things up using rounded numbers:
Dec 19-23: 32M
Dec 24-25: 13M
Dec 26-27: 16M
Dec 28-30: 20M
Dec 31-Jan 1: 12M
Jan 2-3: 5M
Jan 4-6: 11M
Total after third weekend: $109M
After which, you would expect another $20M+ depending on late legs.
Keeping in mind this is a scenario where Mary Poppins just had mediocre holds all holiday and does not break out at all.
I think he'll do horror nextI wonder where James Wan goes from here. I feel like he's going to be able to do whatever he wants at this point.
Justice League 2I wonder where James Wan goes from here. I feel like he's going to be able to do whatever he wants at this point.
Think it's gonna be a while before we get any non-SS/BOP team up movies unfortunately
We haven't even had the first Justice League. Only Wonder Woman and Aquaman so far, let's see what they do with Batman and co.

Isn't he doing Counjuring 3 or a movie in that universe? Also he have that Swampthing episode?

I want a live-action Teen Titans :(
If they did a true R darth Vader spin off id die and go to heaven
Yes it is. Because nothing in the modern era of film has performed like The Greatest Showman, regardless of the genre. Opening weekend was 5% of the total, and it launched ultra wide.

Whedon truly is a hackIt would be pretty funny if every Justice League member got a DCEU solo film that grossed more than Justice League. We are going to be 3 for 3 with Man of Steel, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman.
Yeah I felt like that should have been the first 15 minutes then have a young solo resque mission or something involving that. The solo movie we got just seemed pointless.The one bright spot of Solo was that it set upto return in the films and they'd be a perfect villain for Vader.Darth Maul
Could you go back in time a bit and zap the new suspiria? lol I saw that in the theater with like 4 people total. That movie was out of cinemas quick.As someone who was actually in the theater on said opening day...yeah I was writing that movie's obituary on my way out the door.
I must have tripped and zapped it with lightning or something.

No one outside this forum gives a damn about Rey or any other characters in the Disney SW aside from maybe Kylo

Guy was tasked with remaking Snyder's movie in like 6 months. That movie was a mess but it doesn't seem fair to lay it at Whedon's feet. Or Snyder's even. I can't say I probably would have liked his version, but I can't judge the final product as either a Snyder or Whedon film. Justice League is purely WB's hackjob.
My first reaction was holy crap there was a Suspiria movie this year!Could you go back in time a bit and zap the new suspiria? lol I saw that in the theater with like 4 people total. That movie was out of cinemas quick.
Is there anything in this world that doesn't turn into fanboy wars?
Damn, you made your choice and I respect it.Should have reached me a few weeks ago, I already used up my powers on Pokemon the Movie: The Power of Us.
I also don't really do spook movies. Sorry Suspiria and Hereditary.
lik dis if u cri erytime😭My first reaction was holy crap there was a Suspiria movie this year!
I believe standing up in a canoe was voted best wipe method.Pretty sure that Etc has fought over the best way to wipe one's ass. So no.

I think everyone can accept that fried chicken is awesomeIs there anything in this world that doesn't turn into fanboy wars?
With Uncharted losing its latest director, Sony (?) tossing money at him to direct would be interesting. Aquaman has shades of that sort of adventure movie.

Although there are KFC vs. Popeyes wars
If you prefer KFC to Popeyes you are a disgusting human being
Ava DuVernay was teasing New Gods on twitter recently so that film might be further along in development than we may think. If Aquaman performs well in the end, WB will probably be more encouraged to go through with New Gods.Flash is going to happen. It was all set to start production next year but it got delayed due to Erza needing to film FB3 (a decision WB might be regretting right now).
As for Blue Beetle, I think it and New Gods are the DC films currently in the script phase most likely to get the go ahead in 2019.
Here's hoping 🤞. that project has a lot potential. Big Barda on the big screen brehs.Ava DuVernay was teasing New Gods on twitter recently so that film might be further along in development than we may think.

New Gods would also be another big visually extravagant project like Aquaman, I'm really interested to see them go through with it.Here's hoping 🤞. that project has a lot potential. Big Barda on the big screen brehs.

From what I've seen of New Gods in comic panels all the suits look goofy, wonder how they will translate them to live-actionNew Gods has a couple directions it could take. Going full wild with it or something simpler. I'm anticipating something simpler.
Barda as the lead with Scott Free as the partner. Granny Goodness and Furies as the main villains. Darkseid as this Emperor, Sauron, type figure who looms over the story but indirectly.
