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

[Farerb]

I'm not sure why the comparison was made anyway (it seems a bit random and irrelevant), but I don't think its unreasonable to deem Streep the superior actor. That's not a slight on Zegler; few actors can match Streep in range and talent.

Here:

What frustrates me about the whole ordeal is the fans mocking Zegler over her acting ability and claiming Gadot is better. I think criticizing Zegler's statements and personality is fair game, but I'm sorry, I'm not going to play along with this alternate reality where we pretend she's a bad actress and that Gadot is the next Meryl Streep. Clearly, not enough people saw Spielberg's version of West Side Story.

Not sure why the context of why Meryl Streep was in my post keeps being ignored by various users around here.

I didn't refer to your post.

I think it’s because you misconstrued the meaning of @Ghost93 ’s post. He wasn’t making an actual comparison but was pointing out how silly it would be.

Should Disney have made Snow - No, but you can make a list of movies they should not have made.
Will Snow make 1B - No
Will Snow break even - I think it will break even or make a little given the access media numbers. And really that's all Disney wants out of this at this point.

NOTE: The real numbers to make Snow with the reshoots and the actual cost to market is unknown.

To be fair, the first poster who brought up Meryl Streep was creating and attacking a straw man. As one might expect, this caused a dust up. The bottom line is that no one is saying Gal Gadot is the next Meryl Streep and no one is saying Rachel Zegler is the next Meryl Streep. Everyone seems to be in agreement with that.

It doesn’t matter what the real numbers are. The access media just needs to be able to spin some type of success story. Maybe they will trumpet about how it makes more than the 1937 film as if inflation doesn’t exist.

Exactly. I didn’t mean to say otherwise. It wasn’t so much a straw man though because he wasn’t making an actual comparison.

At this point no one knows if it’s spin or the movie is actually good.

Good point - this will absolutely happen! So for Disney, mission accomplished!!!
