Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

[Sirwalterraleigh]

The article was about Marvel, so that is what I'm discussing not anything else. If you want to discuss something else please be clear about it and not this vague crap Grandpa.

And your shtick on booting Iger is getting old. We all know you want him gone yesterday, give it a rest.

…as soon as he’s gone.

Thank god we have him to save “Disney’s soul”, right?

And this is your lowest grade work. This is EXACTLY what he said about LFL in 2018 after they bombed movies. And what a dream that was.
You guys get a discount on the “strategically aloof” classes in this thread?

Well stop being vague in every post and actually post full complete thoughts. And then maybe we'll be able to pick up on what you're talking about.

As for SW, while the shows have been hit or miss, by some accounts SW is better received now than it was 5 years ago. So I think the break in movies has done it some good. And so we'll see how it does when they finally release a new movie.

Back on Marvel, the year break for the MCU (outside of Deadpool) I think will also do it some good.

Better received? How so?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Because they’ve dumped the awful movies they’ve made and every tv thing now leans in HEAVY to OT or prequels…

I actually agree with him there.

But it’s also “diminished”. Not what they could get out of it. Particularly in product which was the whole point of it.

Well Filoni/Favre is bridging the gap between is all 3 trilogies, so they aren't leaning that heavily into PT or OT.

You need to watch again.

Everything they’re doing is Jedi +5 or sooner

Is this just an exercise in contradiction?

Nope, you need to go back and watch yourself.

Mando and Bad Batch both have been going into Project Necromancer which leads directly to Snoke/Palp clones on Exegol in ST. Mando/Grogu movie will likely go further into that.

 

[Tha Realest]

Yeah…feel like we’ve heard this before

How’d it work the last time?

I hadn’t realized the parallels to fixing Lucasfilm’s Star Wars theatrical output. They haven’t gotten a film to theaters since they announced the pause in 2019. Oof.

Okay, that's good news! $50+ Million domestically, and $130 Million globally from its debut weekend would set it up well for at least breaking even at the $360 Million mark from the global box office.

Fingers crossed they'll give it the 'ol Charlton Heston try, and I'll have monkeys on my doorstep this Halloween!

The early reception isn't surprising. I've not seen them myself, but the Planet of the Apes reboot series has been this quiet, second-tier success story since Dawn of... : They've never been as talked up or as high-grossing as stuff like the MCU was in its prime, partially because they seem to skew to an older crowd, but they've been consistently well-reviewed.

 

[Disney Irish]

$22.2M Friday night for Kingdom of Apes. That is almost the entire domestic opening weekend for Fall Guy. So maybe summer 2024 starts a week late this year, lol. Good start, looking to go over $50M now for the domestic weekend.

 

[pigglewiggle]

Nothing of substance really, but we just re-watched Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings and what a fun movie.

This is probably the last Marvel movie I really liked.

They are showing all the old Planet of the Apes movies on TV today - don't remember which station or stations.
They are still fun to watch and I bet this new one is good too

The only one I think is legitimately good is the first. Beneath the Planet of the Apes is just nuts!

It’s pretty whack how they publish 25 year old receipts in totals

This is encouraging, I had a couple flights last week and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed both Barbi and Migration, it’s been a couple years since Disneys put out anything to write home about and I’d love to see them put out a few great flicks too.

It’s been so long since I lost myself in a movie I’d forgotten how relaxing it was.
