J_Viper and I literally set up a bet about which would have the higher opening weekend: Shazam 2 or Kraven, before both movies came out and the delays started.
It has been a close and long bet because of the constant delays.
Rumour has it they're doing reshoots to incorporate the most dangerous game of them all, Santa Claus
Kraven as a trashy, R-rated genre movie felt well slotted in late August/early September. I really don't think it's going to do well during the holiday season. Vibes are totally off.
glad its staying in 2024, the oscars are going to have a tight race between Madame Webb and Kraven now

But it's after. I'm talking about the quality tainting it, not the time frame.

I saw this and absolutely died 😂😂
Also am I free from my profile pic purgatory? 🥺

Oh you're still doing it? Lol. Yeah, go ahead. You probably could have done it a month ago and I would have forgotten you had a month to go lol
So this movie is going to suck hard, right? The trailer wasn't great, and I don't know the character outside of the recent Spider-Man 2 game where he was absolutely the worst thing in it.
We'll see, they got a solid director who also wrote it, the action is filmed clearly and coherently. It's just a matter of how well you can sell such a dumb premise and how well that Rhino third act goes over.
Kraven feels like a movie that if it was just shelved indefinitely no one would remember/notice.

Honestly? It could happen. This isn't just a Madame Web situation where people not caring enough sinks it. The weekend it comes out, an animated LORD OF THE RINGS FILM is also coming out.
It'll also have leftovers from:
- Wicked Part 1
- Moana 2
- Gladiator 2
Shazam 2 wishes it had that excuse. The weekend to itself. The only leftovers it had to deal with was 65, Scream VI, and Creed III. And mind you, Scream VI and Creed III were obviously successes. But they weren't fucking Wicked and Moana. And a GOD DAMN LORD OF THE RINGS FILM.
You're going to tell me Kraven can't come under a $30 million opening weekend with a Lord of the Rings film showing up? Madame Web had $15 just dealing with Bob Marley. And Argylle leftovers.
I'm very likely cooked now. The only solace I can take is I technically never said I would change my avatar on this lol
Just delay Kraven indefinitely, wait for Aaron Taylor-Johnson's stock to bump up significantly after the new James Bond release, release the movie, PROFIT??
Hmmm didn't realize it was launching the same weekend as anime LoTR, that one could be a surprise hit
I think the points in Kraven's favor are ATJ building his following decently well and the idea that JC Chandor might spin something half way decent from the material
Chandor has no writing credit on the film. It's a for hire job, because he's never actually had a "hit hit".
It can go either way, but the circumstances aren't that far off from Nolan taking Batman Begins. Obviously no one should expect those results, but I think this will be better than people expect. Even if it ends up with a 55 RT.

I like how we're both just committed to the other one winning the bet instead of rooting for ourselves at this point lol
This bet has gone so long that we have been driven mad haha
One of those movies was coming off a well liked first movie that made a billion dollars, the other is Kraven
