BTW, in case anyone was tracking, Snow White crossed the $200M WW total today -

Nobody claimed it changed anything. Just reporting that it crossed a certain mark at the box office, nothing more. It in no way changes anything about the overall movie performance.

She is the current Jane Fonda, no more, no less.

Well if that’s the case then she is going to have a very long and successful career.

Those posters don’t like the way the company has evolved and want it to fail.

Correct me if I’m wrong (since I had to Google it) but doesn’t “being shopped” mean they have a script and are trying to find someone to bankroll it?For those worried about Rachel Zegler's future movie prospects she has already lined up her next role co-starring alongside Marisa Tomei -
Rachel Zegler to Star Alongside Marisa Tomei in Comedy Drama ‘She Gets It From Me’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Embankment Films is selling the film, which marks Zegler's first after Snow White and sees her play the daughter of Tomei's anarchic birth mothervariety.com
Until a studio, production company, or financial backer decides it’s worth risking their money on the movie it’s just an idea.

Being shopped typically (at least as I'm aware) means they are looking for a distribution partner. There are at least two production companies already attached, so I believe that means they already have most if not all financing. Just need someone to distribute it.

They sounds a lot closer to happening than my Google search did.
Seems like every time I turn on ESPN this week (for hockey) they are talking about Shedeur Sanders, everyone seems to agree he has talent and potential but his off the field issues are harming his career options… I think Zegler is the Shedeur of the acting world, if she can get her public image problems resolved I think she’ll be fine, if she can’t though, and another movie of hers has offscreen issues, I don’t think any level of talent is going to salvage her career.

The Variety article has 3311 and Seven Elephants attached as production companies, they are both known for producing indy movies.
So its clear this is moving forward. So whether its gets only a small release, a wide release, or even goes to streaming I expect it'll get made.
I understand the point and comparison you're trying to make, but pro athletes are different, they have a fairly short career as it is and so any hit on or off the field will affect their career.
There have been many actors that have had issues off-screen and still have a long career that spans many decades. I think its a bit too early to start the "her career can't be salvages if she doesn't ...." talk. Which was the whole point of posting the article about her next project. Its clear she is still able to book jobs so soon after the issues she has faced, I mean Snow is literally still in theaters. Which shows that her career isn't in dire straits as many claimed around here.

…for now.
…for now.
First: she said what I’m guessing most actors think.
Second: no one will remember this in 10 years.
Third: as the popularity of her target continues to wane, her comments will hit differently.
Fourth: Zegler’s comments are not an a concern among the average person…. She is not Kevin Spacey or R Kelly….there are more pressing Issues these days…. I know the only place I ever see Zegler’s opinions talked about in real life is in this little internet bubble

It’s indicative of the state of the brand…that’s all.
If it’s a decent movie…it will do fine.
If it’s not…it won’t be accepted. It’s kinda where their franchises are…
I still say stitch will crush though…however

I agree that Stitch will be this summers big hit, or the next big hit since Minecraft was already a big hit, but among my friends Thunderbolts has pretty good buzz already, I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up in the $700 million range.
I’m getting a Guardians vibe from the trailers and that type of comedy superhero mix has done well for the MCU in the past.
We’ll see in a couple weeks, it will be nice to have something new from Disney to talk about.

I assume we’re all talking about the Marvel movie with 89% positive ratings on RT?
No? Still Zegler?
Man, a lot of folks are so insecure in their principles that they react really aggressively to anyone refusing to tell them what good people they are.

The trailers for Stitch are actually winning me over. I've never seen the original. Might just get me to the theater.
Thunderbolts: I don't really know what to make of it. I'm familiar with a few of the characters. Might be a filler MCU movie. Even that should be a decent popcorn flick.
We've been doing the movie theater a little more regularly lately. It really has gotten expensive. At least I can use my Chase Disney Visa rewards points to pay for tickets to Disney movies.
Went to see The Amateur on Tuesday night. It was the only thing that seemed interesting. It was good, probably could have watched it at home, but it was basically "date night." I think what kept it interesting was the main guy was not a trained assassin, expert military guy, or anything else (hence the title.) It was not over the top big booms and what not, more clever ways of getting revenge for the murder of his wife. It was the less action-y action flick. Better than "Taken," I thought.

Not sure how you mean “filler.” From the reviews, Thunderbolts is the rare MCU film that is ABOUT something, with a unique vision from the writer and director. As to connections to the larger storyline, word is the film is very important.

That would be a big win for Disney…no doubt
in the end…enjoyable movies sell and bad productions fail. Most of the time
