Again this isn’t the thread for it, but she is on Broadway in Romeo and Juliet until the 16th and is constantly on social media. So no she isn’t in lockdown mode.
It really doesn't matter what anyone thinks, outrageous or innocuous. There's a great chance once promotion of the film hits full swing, it's making headlines. Especially after the election stuff. The media loves controversy, simple as that.
I’ve been watching and reading 2025 box office predictions (for the box office thread) and every article/show has mentioned how the animosity towards Zegler will impact the box office. It may not be headline news but when all the analysts are saying her comments are going to hurt the box office I tend to believe them.
Gina Carano.
I think both sets of comments are being overblown and it really is only going to affect people that weren't going to go watch either movie to begin with. So how much it'll actually "affect" either movies box office remains to be seen, and likely won't be truly known but I'm sure both sides will make it seem like it is.
I think you need to be very careful when you use the term "lie". Just because budget actuals get revised later does not mean that Disney "forced" or "paid" any media to "lie". The budgets reported when the movie releases are typically estimates by the various media outlets that report it, sometimes its based on actual financial reports such as when a movie is filmed in the UK, sometimes its estimated based on reporting from insider sources or other means for getting estimates. But there is no one being "paid" to report a false number, that is just a conspiracy theory you've made up.
So how do you know what it really is? Do you have a spreadsheet from Disney?
Now I'm not hip to all the socials like you young folks, but she doesn't seem to be terribly active. Instagram, X, she's not on tik tok or Facebook as far as I can see. Some basic posts with pics...of course I'm not on all of them so I can't be certain for all of them. When I say lockdown, that doesn't mean she's in a basement locked up someplace. From what I've seen, she's doing her thing on Broadway, not really making headlines. The last interview I read was a whole lot of nothing really. And that's not a bad thing in my eyes. Mackies situation is significantly different than Zegler just because of the political stuff. So it's smart of her to stay out of the weeds for while.
Lol, I don't want to guess your age, but lets just say I'm probably right around your same age based on the way you post and the references you've made over the years. I just happen to be on social media.
If Disney does have paid media lying for them...
Don’t be coming in here in your logic, it ruins everything….
Would it help if I put it in the form of a spreadsheet?
Only if you add lots of pivot tables.
I am not on Social Media for the most part…. I can attest to this…. I just learned about Reels a few weeks ago from some of the younger people at my work…. Who say they spend almost all of their social media time on Reels these days….X (Twitter) seams to be past it’s prime
Reels?...?
Yep, way off topic (when are we never off topic) Reels was Instagrams answer to TikTok and other short form video services (anyone remember Vine?).
