Gravity grossed nearly three-quarters of a billion worldwide, which is actually more than what Interstellar pulled in.
Agreed.
People have this idea that MCU would somehow turn everything into gold when I doubt the people doing those movies even care about doing Venom or even Carnage.
Would rather have a fun Venom and Carnage movie than nothing.
Carnage without a Venom and Spiderman teamup seems kinda wrong to be honest.
Honestly totally forgot about that movie lol. Saw it once and never had any desire to see it again. Interstellar on the other hand I've rewatched countless times.
They set Venom up to be the good guy in the universe so they could roll that way too. No way do I see Holland in the Sony stuff, Disney has too much cash to say otherwise plus look at the numbers Sony can have a Venom as a good guy universe and make $600-$700 mil a movie and keep Spider-Man in the MCU and take in $900 mil+. Win-win for Sony
Sony needs to pull the trigger on Scarlet Spider and use him as their stand-in for Spider-Man. Have Ben Reilly be the result of genetic engineering instead of a clone.
Glad to see Venom doing well! Hopefully this is one step closer to getting Spider-Man recasted :p
Want to see First Man, because it's Damien Chazelle. But man, a space exploration movie? I'm sure it'll be great, but he had to direct one of the least interesting premises imaginable. That's why I'm not frothing at the mouth to see it.

I HATED that. Ugh
first man flops cuz all the gosling fans since lalaland was bored out of tears watching 2049 and they'd rather watch another musical than gosling again
I hope Johnny English Strikes Back flops once it opens it more countries, one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
It's not funny, the story is shit, the movie feels extremely low budget and rushed amongst a hundred other things. Utterly pathetic excuse of a film.

As I said last week, Vemon wasn't going to get a hard drop. I enjoyed it enough, but my audience was eating that shit up. Even here, it was a lot of, "It's not good, but its not nearly as bad as critics are saying".
Star is Born is this years Greatest Showman, etc. It's the musical that people will keep going too. So I expect it to have good legs now, then a nice boost this holiday season when they re-release.
They are right on the money though with Bad Times. Film was another Lucky Number Slevin, Smoking Aces, etc. Basically the films that came trying to imitate Pulp Fiction in the 90s/00s

I have simultaneously no idea what this means while also knowing that this can't possibly be a positive statement to make on the film's behalf.
I'm wondering if down playing the moment with the flag, trump speaking on it/Fox news talking about it, kept people out of seats.
I'd say the film is just too long. The sequences are great, but there is definitely a lot of downtime where it lingers and the cast is fairly underdeveloped. It also had a sort of odd time flow, where you really can't pin point how much time has passed outside of the title cards for it.
Compared to Gravity or Martin. Gravity is a very tight film. I think it was less than 100 minutes. While The Martin had a lot going on in it between Damon, Earth, and the other crew. Alongside being a crowd pleaser.
That would be awesome.
I would love it even more if it was very similiar to the one from the animated series. It was so damn badass!
I guess I wasn't the only person who couldn't get excited about First Man. I liked how the DT review said it's "Ryan Gosling won't eat cereal" expanded to two hours.
Oh just wait till it's on streaming. You'll feel dirtier.
Minus the credits, Gravity was less than 90 minutes long. That movie was ruthlessly efficient.
First Man is built around a tight, moderate budget. I'm sure the producers at Uni and Co. were very aware of how toxic sci-fi (don't get me started with hard sci-fi) is nowadays in theaters. Now here they got themselves a contemplative, "prestige" drama, set on a figure and events that for a large share of the audience must sound as an uninteresting or even alien proposal.
All things considered, it's just the start of a long season. They didn't accept to pay for this movie because of tickets, but If they're willing to support it until awards season, the studio could still see benefits coming from the international market.
PS: Maximum Carnage, 2020. 1 billion dollars only in China.

Yeah that and some pacing issues are the biggest marks against it. I quite enjoyed it otherwise though that box office result isn't surprising, this just isn't a film people are going to see in theatres. It'll be interesting if it gets a second life once it hits streaming, there's a lot of interesting stuff going on under its hood.
Edit: wanted to note that Cynthia Erivo was phenomenal in this, not just holding her own with a great cast but being a clear standout. I'm looking forward to seeing her in Widows and hopefully many films to come.

Looks like one of Japanese anime's tentacle monsters. I need a shower.
Yeah I took one look at the run time and decided nah I could wait, will hit up Halloween next week instead.
The minute Venom and Eddie partnered up, the movie got really good. A venom sequel where their both there as a partnership from the go, is going to clean up. So long as they don't try to ham Holland into this universe, I'll be happy seeing this series continue.
It's a whole new cast. I guess they kept Jack Black, but they didn't show him until the final trailer.Lol. What's with the cast list for Goosebumps 2?:
Wait, one of Sony's attempts to create a Spider-Man spin-off franchise actually worked? What kind of world are we living in?
What? I loved the cast in the first movie. Why would they do that?
Is Venom is doing well because there's nothing else to see for that demographic? If you put up against any other genre film would it be doing as well? I suspect not. And I think this is why theyve not announced any sequel. It's succeeding in spite of itself.
My girlfriend and I found the cast in this one to be easily more entertaining and compelling than that of the first. The only thing the first did better was feature more Jack Black.
Well every Goosebumps book had a new set of characters so I guess it's kinda fitting they did the same with this movie.
Though Sony probably did it to save money. I read the budget of this one is lower than the first.
Happy to see Venom doing well. I want my sequel. I also like laughing at everyone who wanted it to bomb.
