I do believe he wanted to take control over portions of it, yes.
The posters for the film were TERRIBLE and made it look like some bargain bin VOD affair.
Michael Giacchino hasn't done a better score since John Carter. It was Star Wars meets Lawrence of Arabia. Dude knocked that shit out of the park.
What about the family from the Ewok movies who were gunned down early in the 2nd Ewok movie?
I never realized how Disney Channel Original Movie-ish the marketing material was until I looked them up again just now.
Stuff like this sank the film. I legit thought it was going to be a Clash of the Titans kinda deal because none of the marketing I saw even went near the sci-fi.
Oh man what a beautiful day, I've been working a lot all week and finally have time to check into my box office home with all my favourite characters.
Let's see what everyone's up to today...

It's kinda funny. Two of Giacc's best works, Speed Racer and John Carter, are also two of the biggest bombs he (or anybody) has worked on.
What I meant to say but conveyed badly is it was originally projected to lose some thing like $200 million plus, but depending on the website it looks like it ended up around a $122 million loss... Horrible, but much closer to a Lone Ranger sized loss.

This is a good thread. Full of good people and lovely discussions focused on boxoffice analysis.
Hell, Ant Man might get that Iron Man 3/Rogue One bump and end up in the Billi Club.
Whenever people bring up Ant Man I'm reminded that there were people in my IW showing that we're shocked that was the next Marvel movie.
Ant-fucking-man about to become a household name.
I honestly wouldn't bet against it grossing a cool bill, but it also probably won't.
As great as I think that would be to witness, I doubt it.
The first followed AoU and didn't get the bump, plus it's been 2 years since he appeared in Civil War.
If it gets a bump, it will be more modest.
Need to run that piss break match before the main event.
I know it's not intentional, but it reeeally feels sometimes Marvel is trolling. Imagine years ago if someone told you that a Han Solo is beaten at the box office by a movie with an ant playing the drums.
She is in this thread! And I will hear nothing to the contrary.
Is Ant-Man or Black Panther Marvel's 'Hold my beer'?
Or is 'Hold my beer' only a negative thing?
John Carter by a mile.
The ending of John Carter is one of those kicks to the nuts when you know you'll never be able to see a sequel.
A Scott Lang lead Ant-Man movie is going to out do a SW movie. Not Hank Pym. But SCOTT FUCKING LANG.
Hope everybody got all of that insipid Last Jedi stuff out of their system because I've run out of patience
Don't bring that stuff in here again

I liked AoU, but it was one of the more middling entries in the franchise and the general feeling in the air was mixed, with that oft talked-about "superhero fatigue" starting to feel real. By comparison IW seems to have lit a spark of excitement that has brought hype levels back to that of the period immediately following Avengers 1. People seem thirsty for more Marvel, and Ant Man and The Wasp is cashing in far earlier than IM3 did. I honestly think it might hit that billi because of that.
They've basically been having "hold my beer" moments since Thor 1.
Obligatory:
Lol what the hell.
Well, I guess he did sort of succeed. But yea, why would you want lots of people to hate your movies? Lol. Is this a directorial version of trolling or something? Like, he actually admits he gets excited at the prospect of having a big portion of people hate his movies?
Edit: And yea, Cub, as per Bronson's instructions, maybe post this in a TLJ thread instead.
Carol Danvers' movie will double Solo.
Kamala Khan's movie is going to be at least $150m over whatever Solo finishes with WW.
Feige's Marvel team could do a new Nic Cage Ghost Rider and it'd best Solo.
The best thing about episode 9 being 1.5 years out is that we (hopefully) won't have fucking TLJ talk in here after solo box office run is over.
It's been 2 years and we still haven't shut up about BvS. Fuck, prequel hate was a damned cottage industry from the time TPM came out until TFA came out. We're going to see TLJ on this board until the next series of Star Wars films fucks everything up.
Oh, poor thing. TLJ will continue long after we're gone. Future generations will infect the AI uprising with TLJ and cause a schism in hive mind.
Seriously, if that movie turned out to be part of the John Wick universe, that would be the best thing ever.
I skinned the cats of all the Academy voters who didn't choose it for Best Original Song that year.
