Disney is honestly secretly a trash studio that somehow yields box office hits.
The Nutcracker looks so dull and by-the-numbers. Like it looks like the store-brand version of Beauty and the Beast.
Bringing in another director to do extensive reshoots and Disney barely marketing the film up until the previous week were already serious red flags. That being said, I was expecting it to get mediocre reviews at worst (low 70s to mid-50s), the Tomatometer (currently 28%) is way lower than I expected.
This film was already poised going to join Solo and AWIT in the 2018 bomba fest, but they at least got mediocre to okay reviews. This is probably going to be the biggest loser of the lot, especially considering the November competition (which includes WDAS's Ralph Breaks The Internet....Disney's self-cannibalizing schedule strikes once more).
*grumble* Imagine if Disney put a fraction of the budget they dumped into this film making and properly marketing a 2D animated film instead *grumble*
Disney brought in a second director to do a month of re-shoots. That ain't cheap.
AWiT I felt Disney had more expectations for, it had a really big advertisement campaign.
Nutcracker... I didn't even know it was coming out till this thread. I've seen maybe one trailer for it
What is the point of a non-musical Nutcracker. That's like making a non-musical Fantasia.
I rather enjoyed the Nutcracker movie. It wasn't too long, the visuals and costumes were gorgeous, and the Nutcracker music (when it was used) was quite good. The actress who played Clara did an outstanding job.
Parts of the movie dragged a bit, but overall the visuals and music made it up for me.

Yeah I'm going to see both as well. I have a soft spot for fantasy stuff like The Huntsman and Alice in Wonderland movies so The Nutcracker seems right up my alley. And I love me some Claire Foy.
In due time when they hit VOD anyway. I'm not much of a movie theatre-goer.
Despite coming in under pressure, it sure looks as if that Queen movie found somebody to love, in fact it's a real killer queen. Or maybe it's just some fat bottomed girls who are being quite the big spender. So don't stop me now, but I and and anyone else who saw this coming; we are the champions. ... something, something A Star is Born, radio gaga
for context (and somehow with worse puns) I give you deadline:
'Bohemian Rhapsody' Hits A High Note On Thursday Night With $3.9M Previews
edit: dammit, I should have spent less time on puns and more time on being first

You wanted it all but in the end you were just another one to bite the dust.
Anecdotally I think BR's 7pm shows for last night and tonight at the IMAX near me sold more tickets than First Man did in the entire 2-3 weeks it was showing.
I actually enjoyed venom, so I'm okay with this
It did feel like there were 20 minutes just straight up missing from the film somewhere in the middle though

On the subject of Nutcracker...
Locally it's sharing the RPX screen with BR. BR has the good showtimes.

Poor First Man, did the stupid controversy about the flag from the right wing actually sink that movie? It was a more worthy effort than the numbers are showing -- great spectacle, acting, and story.
I think A Star Is Born releasing around the same time hurt it more. Took away the "prestige drama" audience away from it.
it also had seen this before feeling for me and my friends
I think its more that those kinds of movies aren't the kind that people necessarily get out to the movies for anymore. A prestige movie, with a Academy Award winning director, and a well known lead actor based on a historical figure. Feels like those kinds of actor/director driven dramas don't fly as much anymore. Makes me wonder if the kinds of movies actors like Tom Hanks and Harrison Ford (not that Gosling is Ford/Hanks) built their careers on 25 years ago are even viable anymore. Like does Philadelphia happen in 2018?
I need to strongly recommend watching Apollo 13 right after (soon after) first man, works so well (for obvious reasons). Going from Armstrong's perspective directly to watching Tom Hanks watching Armstrong step on the moon and grimmace is just amazing.
It truly is amazing how all of Disney's non-Marvel/SW live action films are just one bomb after another.
