Between this and the Eminem song, it does feel like an early 2000s throwback.
this almost deserves its own thread
been saying it from the jump, carol is headed for a billion
where have you seen interest muted though? twitter seem in love with it
He actually directed the movie that the Nazis were watching at the end.
It was at that exact point when I dozed off.
Woke up somewhere around the time Optimus fought the dinosaur bots.
Looks like China is cracking down on glorifying money and tax evasion, their biggest actress has sort of vanished and people think the Chinese government is holding her for tax evasion, and Crazy Rich Asians looks like it will not get a chinese release either. Its left studios extremely uncertain about their future in China.

And Fan and Feng's legal predicaments aren't the only red flags spooking Hollywood. A wave of aggressive action by Beijing regulators the past year suggests that Chinese President Xi Jinping is tightening his grip on the country's cultural sector. Warner Bros., among those affected, has all but conceded that Crazy Rich Asians will not receive a China release, making it doubtful the potential sequel, based on author Kevin Kwan's follow-up novel, China Rich Girlfriend, will shoot in the nation. The crackdown has left U.S. studios and agencies more uncertain than ever of their footing in the massive China market.
"The government is going to make examples out of a lot of high-profile people who've made a lot of money and spent a lot of time in the West, because that's not what a good Chinese citizen does," says a U.S. producer who works frequently in China.

Fallout + Bumblebee have no shot at Infinity War money domestically or worldwide. So it's still the BP people who managed to make it into IW.
Had to do a double-take on my calendar to make sure it wasn't 1999.
That's like a soda ad. I expected one of the ad guys to open a Pepsi one with venom on the side.
Maybe one year earlier?
All the current one is missing is some random Mountain Dew or Doritos placement.

Tease is supposed to be for a sequel with Woody Harrelson as Carnage.
I'm really excited for the "Marvel fanboy critics hate Venom cause it's not part of the MCU" narratives to come out when it inevitably gets scores similar to Suicide Squad.
I'll stick with my 27% RT prediction. Nothing about that movie looks appealing.

Fahrenheit flopping is weird. i didnt even realize it was out. im pretty sure trump is hated more than bush ever was.
"FUCKING critics get bribed by Disney to only give positive reviews to MCU films and shit on everything else
besides wonder woman
and logan
and dark knight
and deadpool
and dark knight rises
and deadpool 2
Does it even count as a flop? $3mil for a documentary doesn't sound terrible and is already enough for 78th-highest grossing per BOM https://www.boxofficemojo.com/genres/chart/?id=documentary.htm
Can't imagine it cost a lot to make
I guess for most people, going to see a movie that talks about the same thing they see everyday on their social media feeds is not an attractive proposition. People are just tired of angry political talk. Back in 2004, Fahrenheit 9/11 had the benefit of modern social media not being a thing.
I see Venom getting a critical reception similar to Suicide Squad, but I don't see it getting anywhere near the same commercial success.
"Disney's obviously paying critics to take a dump on Sony's Spider-Man-less Spider-Man movies so that Disney can get the rights back and turn it into generic capeshit quip-fests like the rest of the MCU."

It's been happening for months now. Those people claim only MCU fanboys and the forum aren't excited
Venom |OT| I Like Being Bad; It Makes Me Happy
I hope the OT title references how even Spider-Man 3 is better than this movie will be

Enjoy 3 pages of 5 people vehemently saying that Suicide Squad was good actually, it was just misunderstood and in time everyone else will see
"ResetEra never gives anything that's not the MCU a chance!"
Even though the Captain Marvel teaser got mixed/negative reception here and the set pics and videos for Joaquin Phoenix's Joker has been positve reception
And that's just the last two weeks
Thought this was interesting from a local perspective: Frank Theatres files for bankruptcy.
Frank's is/was a small chain in the Southeast/Appalachia area of the US. They once had 25 theaters but now only have 12 if their website is accurate. Honestly though this was a long time coming.
They opened a location, aka renovated an abandoned mall theater, near my hometown back around 2013 with the hosting town, Kingsport, hoping it would revitalize the mall and surrounding area. Frank even said they could bring an 85ft IMAX laser screen, full service restaurant, and premium arcade to the town of 50,000. Kingsport city leaders offered a near $1M incentive package if that happened. After several years of no progress the mall company serves eviction papers in November 2016 since Frank owed ~$330K in rent and also hadn't paid off the new projectors they bought with the mall's money. The issue is still pending in civil court, but Frank agreed to vacate in April last year.
I started following the company after the IMAX news (anyone with common sense knew Frank was conning the town) and looked at other theaters across the states. Terrible customer reviews and the same news blurbs that theaters couldn't afford rent. Kingsport's been in a bad spot for a long time so leaders were desperate enough to believe the IMAX and such could actually happen. It got to the point members of the city council would criticize anyone who questioned the plan, and the town newspaper was censoring any negative comments on their website as trolling. Of course once the eviction was made public everyone was suddenly "I had doubts..."

It'll need $2b.
It'll probably do fine for its budget, but I don't see it getting more than $150m domestic. I bet it's pretty front-loaded.

$1.3 billion international, maybe. If you're talking worldwide total, that'd be a bigger flop than Spider-Man Homecoming. It needs to be at least $1.6B.
