Yeah, it would had be nice if BoP did well, but due to it's marketing and such it's going to be rough.
That ship has already sailed.
I just want WB to not take the wrong lessons and axe Cathy Yan and her creative team.
- I remember Justice League and Suicide Squad on how bad those movies were.
- I remember BvS on how good looking and sounding the movie was.
- Remember Wonder Women and Shazam how much fun they were.
- Saw BoP last week, barely remember anything that happened in it. No a terrible movie at all, also not a great movie, nothing in this movie stood out...including the fight scenes, which seemed like from a low budget tv show. After watching this movie I wantto see a movie with the two villains in the lead.
Its a move made to be forgotten.

Reviews disagree. It's as good as Wonder Woman and Shazam and could have done way better had the rating and marketing been fixed.
It's as good as Wonder Woman and Shazam? BOP has 79% while Shazam is 90% and Wonder Woman is 93%. I mean BoP is considered good and the 3rd best rated DCEU movie so there's that. I agree with the rating and marketing!
We gotta look at the wide spectrum of good DC movies. In other words, we gotta be grateful if it's not below 60.
Oh that, yeah, that's true. It's pretty good for the DCEU since only 4 DCEU movies so far are fresh.
They're less screwed than Universal.Disney without China:
Black Widow, Soul and Eternals will do better domestically than any Universal movie will, especially Fast 9.
I think it's possible that nothing does.
Domestic is going to be more important this year than it has been in a long time.
Probably late to the party, but recently watched Bad Boys For Life. I was not expecting it to be as deep and as raw as it was, lots of profound introspection and reminder of how fragile life is. Stunned by how it captured the old BB feel and took it to places I didn't think it could go. Amazing movie, seriously, only other movie that left me as satisfied leaving the cinema recently was Knives Out.
Question, how well did Venom do in China?
Partially asking because if this goes as long as people are suggesting, I'm curious the impact on Morbius and Venom 2.

So Venom 2 and Morbius are definitely relying on China then. Got it
If theaters are shut down for 3-5 months then only Morbius will be effected.
Ah ok. Everyone was saying no one is making it to a billion and I thought that meant people were thinking theaters would be out of commission for longer.
It does but still limited. It's only showing in two theaters in Los Angeles.
Just saw the Gentlemen. Thought it was a return to form of sorts for Ritchie, at long last.
Not sure what I'm seeing this weekend.

The first Venom didn't make a billion, even with China and I think the second will drop from that.
I believe it is going to surprise you just like jumanji. Spider-Man gonna bring in the moolah for venom 2
The Next Level did drop less than I thought, but still dropped $200m worldwide from Welcome to the Jungle even with China.
It's coming out on Switch in a week!
I know what you mean lol.
Tails is a shoe-in for a Sonic sequel but I do hope Knuckles appears as well. I was never into comics as a kid, so this will absolutely be my "all the heroes together on the big screen" moment:
You know, basically the same thing.
Golden sonic too.
The possibilities are endless after this turns out to be the massive hit its gonna be.

Is not just that theaters will be closed for (possibly) months. When they re-open, a crap ton of movies will have to be rescheduled, and the chinese government for sure will give priority to homegrown movies, so a bunch of Hollywood imports could get lost in the shuffle or have drastically shortened runs.
If you told me this time last year that Sonic would outdo a DC Comics movie, I would have called you insane.
I can't believe this happening, and I welcome the introduction of the Sega Cinematic Universe, and will be there day one for a Crazy Taxi movie.

I think Universal will suffer the most from the loss of China. They seem to rely on it more than the other big studios.
Gonna be interesting to see how this year goes when they don't have their usual fallback of "if it tanks domestically, maybe it'll do well in China."
3M is pretty good but I was hoping for more than that to get us on the path to beat Pikachu
We'll need exceptional legs
We'll need exceptional legs
I think it'll have those, especially if Onward is a whiff.
Someone more knowledgeable can correct me but IIRC family movies usually have low Thursdays. Especially when it's a school night.
Same as How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. If it performed the same as that film it would beat Pikachu.
Way to early to tell though.
Disney was probably banking heavily on China for Mulan too. Really interested in how that movie will perform.
