I was reading some old Gavin Feng's tweets and this caught my eye. I might be right in saying Disney doesn't know how to market their movies over there. It'll be interesting to see how things play out this year.

How do you market Star Wars to China? They don't have the nostalgia for it, so you'd have to go all in on space fantasy swashbuckling and maybe post a bunch of memes on Weibo about how Rey is a good girlfriend/Kylo is a good boyfriend.
Cast Momoa, Vin Diesel, and Venom as the leads in the next trilogy
It opens on Wednesday and will likely be front loaded so ... Good luck with that.
I was more talking about how he said Disney doesn't know how to market Marvel films there. I have no idea how Disney can make Star Wars relevant there. Certainly casting The Rock, Momoa, and Vin Diesel would get it done. Maybe.
I've put this out there before, but it'd be fun for them to do the Boyfriend Venom stuff but with Kylo.
It has a Saturday showing and is being shown throughout the weekend at certain chains (Cinemark as an example). I'm seeing it Sunday for example. Considering how dead January is, it's not impossible to make the top 5.
Of course it has a Saturday showing, I didn't say it'd only be in theaters for 2 days. I'm just saying, it'll like do better during the week than the weekend.
You have the last two movies stats right there to see how this will play out.
"I think I'm gonna need a bigger helmet.............cuz your ass is bigger.........I'm sorry."
They should do spiderverse films for theaters and then have one shot direct to stream and to DVD single character films.
Make sure you see it on a good screen with good sound. Don't be afraid to see it twice to really appreciate the visuals (at least for me: I was distracted the first time just taking it all in with how different it looks)
Actually looks like both my local movie theaters already got rid of Spiderverse. Well that sucks
And I've already seen Aquaman and nothing else out right now had my interest. Bummer as I was looking forward to going out to a movie solo during the day

If the Legion of Doom thing pans out, it'll be great to have Lex, Cheetah, and the rest be like "Manta, you good? Gotta dial back this Aquaman obsession, my guy."
Saw trailers for detective pikachu and mib international while watching A Dog's way home
both look like they are going to fail. Especially MiB
Have Lex be like, "Look I hate Superman, but like....I have other shit going on too. You do nothing but hate Aquaman. It's not healthy, fam."
You think so?
I think what caught me off guard was
pika talking
It caught me off-guard at first and didn't enjoy the trailer, but grew on me on the second viewing and so on. It's going to be an instant money maker, especially in China - I don't think Japan will be as receptive, live-action adaptations in general tend to not do well there but man will this Pika Pika print money - it's funny, back when Pokemon The First Movie launched, it was one of their biggest movies for WB, and now Detective Pikachu will do the same for them 20 years later, we've come full circle.
I mean....if that's the case you're basically saying that star wars movies aren't good enough to stand on their own two legs and are only propped up by nostalgia
Detective Pikachu needs the Mr. Worldwide push.
They tried to get rid of me
But from gym to gym
They gon' have to deal with me

I finally got around to seeing Spiderverse today after having a bunch of other stuff (including a freaking tornado) come up every time I wanted to see it before. Spiderverse is stunningly good.
I mean the Venom movies are already spinoff. How many more spinoff movie can you get?
Change all character names to Wuxia names and "Jedi" to "Tai chi"
The idea of Momoa as some oversized buff as hell Sith/Jedi is just too damn cool in my head right now lol
About a week or so into April. Originally, it came out in May only a week before Det. Pikachu, I believe.
1.5 billion for detective Pikachu? I'm very optimistic for it but expectations are getting pretty out of hand. I won't say it's impossible but that's a ludicrously high bar.
Context clues, friend. No one is going to talk about Dark Phoenix like it's going to make money.
Or at all, tbh.
No doubt and I remember making that argument about venom prior to release (though I don't think anyone expected that breakout). Still whilst I think detective Pikachu will do well I think 1.5 billion would be insane. Even if it hit a billion that would be a monstrous success.
Yeah I'm not predicting anything like that
My expectations are if its decent / good it will hit in the $700m range. Which would still make it a monster success
I think that's a reasonable estimate. Anything higher than that will rely on the quality of the movie and marketing leading up to release. I'm hopeful of something crazy like 1 billion but I by no means expect that.
It's getting that Jessica Chastain bump!
I'm still bewildered by the decision to have it be Dark Phoenix on its own. No X-Men in the title.
