    It will be interesting to see how that movie does at the box office. Should be a slam dunk and Disney pushed it back for over a year… but did Rachel Zegler hurt the film? Time will tell… This movie should be an easy 1 billion dollar film. Should be a layup… it’s Snow White.

    To be fair, if Wicked hits 900 million globally it’s more than a modest success. I mean.. $900 million globally on a $250 million budget would be considered a major success, not a modest one. Maybe not greatest of all time type numbers and maybe studio was hoping for more but the studio should...

    Win or Lose (Pixar Disney+ series)

    I think there might be some confusion. My earlier comment wasn’t about assigning fault but rather emphasizing that inflation is a complex issue influenced by multiple factors. The goal was to provide context and encourage a balanced perspective, not to oversimplify or make it about just one...

    General Star Wars News

    Is the decision not to reunite the original cast for the sequel trilogy considered one of the greatest cinematic mistakes of all time? In Hollywood history, few creative decisions compare to the missed opportunity of reuniting the original Star Wars cast. While there have been massive financial...

    2-hour and 40-minute runtime of Wicked doesn’t help its box office performance, even though it was well-received and a well-done movie. longer runtime limits the number of showings per day… makes it harder to sell tickets. In comparison, Barbie and Moana 2 each run about 1 hour and 40 minutes.

    SPOILER: Moana 2 (debut on Nov 27, 2024)

    Spoliers... it's was good, first was way better. songs were way better in the first. This movie feels like a set up for part three. It got all the main characters together for the final film. It's a must to watch the end credits.

    We rented “Fall Guy” and found it underwhelming. While it had a few laughs, the story wasn’t very engaging and felt somewhat unnecessary. Despite the film’s great visuals, my wife lost interest and bailed after 30 minutes.

    Cat From Outer Space? J/K…. The Black Cauldron would be another film that had all the potential and failed. The film’s poor performance had a substantial impact on Disney’s animation division, leading to changes in leadership and paving the way for the “Disney Renaissance” era that began with...

    Or… The success of “woke” narratives in films varies with the target market. The Barbie movie resonates well with its core audience of young girls and women, aligning with themes of empowerment and diversity. In contrast, franchises like Marvel and Star Wars have historically male-dominated...

    Great films like the first Inside Out create demand. My girls couldn’t wait to see another Inside out, they watched it quite a bit growing up. Everyone loved the character Riley and couldn’t wait to see what happened next.

    Also… Wish was a bad film. Wish comes out today and it bombs. Inside out 2 or Deadpool comes out last year and they are hits. Let’s also never forget that.

    Honestly why are we even talking about that movie. It wasn’t good. It was forgettable. We all keep trying to explain why the film didn’t work and I gave the best opinion I could. In the end… Wish simply didn’t resonate with audiences. It lacked the engaging elements and emotional depth that...
