As predicted, this thread was mostly a celebration of Disney doing poorly at the box office. *crickets chirping*
Alien Romulus will be their fourth successful movie in a row now. Solid reviews and audience ratings. Budgeted at 80 million.
With a global opening of 100+ million, and a break even of 160-200 million, they are clearly going to celebrate again. Exactly the type of moderately budgeted fare everyone begged for last year.

Borderlands dropped a spectacular 74% domestically. It was even front loaded…
I don’t think anywhere monitors this because box office bombs skew towards higher budgets, but as a function of budget recovery to box office it’s lucky to make a 0.25x multiplier!
The worst example I can see for a non micro budget is the Adventures of Pluto Nash at 0.071x
A huge set back for video game adaptations, that seem to have been finally getting away from the curse. But that seems more on the TV front.

So much for that idea that it was going to do badly because it was originally a Hulu movie.As predicted, this thread was mostly a celebration of Disney doing poorly at the box office. *crickets chirping*

I would also put it as still a bit of D23 hangover. But yeah I think the next time a Disney movie under performs you'll see a lot more posting.
Agreed… this thread is not the same now that Disney is the top performing studio at the box office
And Disney is not done this year…. I would not be if Mufasa even surprises peopleAs predicted, this thread was mostly a celebration of Disney doing poorly at the box office. *crickets chirping*

A lot of excitement at my house for Mufasa. If it’s good, I think Disney will notch yet another billion-dollar box office achievement.

All it’s missing is disinformation and trolling. Otherwise it’s the same thread.
Agreed… Even though I wasn’t crazy about the live action remake…. The Lion King is my favorite Disney Movie…. So I am interested in an original story in that world… and the new trailer completely sold me

I was surprised, as releases during this time of August usually get tepid reviews with commensurate box offices. It looks like (domestically) this is the biggest debut for a movie during this week in 10 years. And it seems to have received good reviews too so that might help it keep going. (Random: It Ends With Us debuted with $50 million last week?!)As predicted, this thread was mostly a celebration of Disney doing poorly at the box office. *crickets chirping*

TBH, I wouldn't have any idea that the movie was made by Disney if I didn't read it here. Obviously they've branched out with Star Wars and Marvel stuff, but I doubt I'll ever think of any horror movie as a Disney movie.

Don’t forget Alien featured in the marquee of one of their parks until mid last decade.

Well to be fair, I think most of the conversation is in the actual movie threads. This has definitely been a thread discussion about Disney doing poorly. But I don't think the majority of us were celebrating. They have done well and most of what I've read has given props to them. Don't get me wrong, there was celebrating, but it was hardly the majority of us. I'll rag on Disney all day if it's warranted. But it's not out of celebration, but out of wanting improvement.
100%. I've given them credit for that on a couple movies now. I haven't said much because for starters, I have never been an Alien fan or Apes. I gave Apes credit as well as inside out. I've avoided Deadpool as I haven't seen it yet. And Alien has just never been my thing.
Don't worry though. When these live action remakes start coming out again, there's a good possibility we'll be right back where the thread started.
