We'll see what happens after Deadpool, but I think Marvel will be ok.
I think there will be a SW movie, its just a matter of which one.

That's kind of the problem with star wars in my opinion. They've had a lot of time to figure it out, yet it keeps changing and they have no clear plan.

Haven’t they already announced the next Rey movie?
Sounds like the intention is to give us more of the same and hope for different results. Diminishing returns seems to be the future for Star Wars until they replace those in charge.
Well, now I just want to see Hundreds of Beavers. The trailer for that is... really something else.

I'm confused because last night YouTube played a commercial for a movie called Madame Web "coming to theaters", a young lady superhero of some sort and it looked kind of dumb, and it clearly had the MARVEL branding on it. How does that work?

Its made by Sony as they hold the film rights to the Spider-Man family of characters under a complex deal that Marvel made long before Disney bought them. So its not a Disney movie, and only tangentially tied to Marvel.

Yes, and the Mando/Grogu movie, and the Filoni "Heir to the Empire" movie.
Not sure about that, but we'll see.

Well my hope is that with Filoni leading the creative side of Lucas now that there is a plan. But I guess we'll see. I know many don't have faith, but I'm still trying to keep some.
Right. Think Venom, Kraven the Hunter, and the greatest movie of all-time, Morbius. That's the last still-existing movie/TV deal around Marvel properties, right?

Well there is still some question on whether the deal with Uni for the Hulk is still in place or not. But other than that once Disney bought 21st Century the only remaining deal is with Sony, everything else is under Disney.
All of Us Strangers is also still on there around #20, although it's about to get an anti-Oscars bump by being largely ejected from theaters this weekend, despite maintaining solid per theater numbers for the entirety of its run.
Which is a shame because I think it could be leaving money on the table… All of us Strangers is getting a ton of accidental promotion with all the snubs talk

I want to be positive as well. My issue is that I don't consider what they have announced, an actual plan. It feels like a throw some ideas against the wall and see what sticks tactic. If they had said, the next saga in the star wars universe will take place during the dawn of the Jedi. And that will lead us into the fantastic knights of the old republic. That's a plan. Not announce 3 films that are completely separate. Then announce a 4th that might somehow be related to the Ashoka film.

I understand your point. You want a more clear plan outlined publicly of one leading into the next.
To me when they released this canon timeline at Celebration last year they showed at least having sketched out a plan -
In my opinion they can still have movies released in each time period that builds up to something else. But they don't have say stick in "The Old Republic" era and finish stories there before moving to "High Republic" Era. As long as its good they can jump back and forth from era to era, provided that each story in each era builds upon the stories within that era. So for example if in 2026 they release something from "Dawn of the Jedi" era and in 2028 they release something from "New Jedi Order" era, I'd be ok with that. But they have to start somewhere, and hopefully that is coming.

I agree with you on this. My only point of contention is that can be tough to pull off without confusion or just not feeling right. Personally I don't know if Lucasfilm has the chops to pull that off. I look at the sequels and how they played pass the baton with the story. That won't work in a story like that. It has to be planned out with how the story will progress. You can make some adjustments, that's natural. But you can't just make it a choose your own adventure from film to film. Have they learned their lesson? Lets hope so.

I just saw Migration and Wonka on Amazon Prime, for a cost of course! I was surprised to see them on Amazon while they are still in theatres??? There was another one or two that are still playing theatres but I can't remember which ones.

Yes, I noticed Wonka on PPV as well. I have no knowledge of how these things work, but I’m guessing that release date was set a long time ago - thinking it wouldn’t be doing well in theaters this late(?)
I’ve been meaning to mention here, it seems like more films are trending as “slow burns” as opposed to hitting big the first week and dropping off quickly…maybe because there have been fewer new releases? Or at least fewer huge ones? I think Wonka benefited from a little breathing room.

Yep. Yet another reason it's silly to look at the first two weeks of box office performance as the primary (or only) indicator of a film's quality, value, or public reception.

Box Office is out for Friday, here's the Top 10, and Poor Things has been removed from 350 theaters this weekend to make way for new movies and is in 9th place.
This is its performance with "accidental promotion"? Maybe... and just thinking outside the box here... they should have stuck with regular promotion instead?
All Of Us Strangers is down in the 20's for yesterday's Box Office, in 150 theaters in North America and it made $67,000 yesterday. Wish rounds out the list of 20's with $16,000 from 130 theaters.
