Apparently “Wish” bombed and so did Marvels. Why is that?
sharethey are making movies for check box people that are not primary movie supporters.

Nobody cares, not even you, so why did you post it?
shareThe other day I dreamed that Melton wrote some sick ass shit about me. So I woke up and rushed to MovieChat to see what it was. Imagine my disappointment when I read this lame ass shit.

You’ve moved from ‘I really don’t care’ to dreaming about me?
This is the most embarrassingly self defeating troll attempt I’ve seen.
Write the following text: ‘Yeah, cause you're so cool, you actually believe that’ to confirm that you’re a fucktard who takes it in both ends.
Yeah, cause you're so cool, you actually believe that.

Yep! Fuck'em!

Mostly for the same reason most major theatrical releases did poorly this year at the box office. Post-pandemic, consumer behaviour patterns have changed.
Disney has the additional disadvantage of having a strong brand identity, which means anyone who might be interested in seeing something like Wish or The Marvels knows it will be on Disney+ quite soon.
Honestly, I like watching movies in theaters more. Nothing beats looking at a flick with some popcorn on the big screen compared to at home
shareThat's why re-releasing classic films is so lucrative. People who grew up seeing those films in the theaters get a kick out of bringing their kids and grandkids to see these same movies in the theater, because it's so different from seeing it at home on the small screen.
shareExcept, literally no one does that.
Signed, million man.
💯
shareThis is the part of the reason. Anyone who says otherwise is a deluded fool.
Add to that, the economics of regular theatrical attendance are not appetizing to a vast swath of the general public. When the luxury of going to the theater can cost double or even triple digits to someone barely able to keep up with basic living expenses (coupled with the convenience and proliferation of streaming media), working class folks are more than likely to stay home.
There's also a false pretense in the original post that ignores various market realities including inflated budgets across the board of major studio releases, the reliance of established properties over creative development, and a distinct lack of creative guidance in favor of pop media tailored to safe demographic standards in order to maximize hand-over-fist grosses.
But no, the average internet simpleton still clings to the misguided assumption that the 2023 Little Mermaid grossed only slightly more than the one from 30 years ago (adjusted for inflation) because characters' skin pigments contained slightly more melanin.
Yup. The onerous cost of the experience for regular people is certainly an important factor in the behavioural changes too. A cinema trip is an expense and therefore an event.
A handful of films -- Barbie chief among them -- have demonstrated that big hits are still possible. But audiences are being much more selective -- and are happy to wait for most things to arrive on streaming services. And the studios -- especially Disney, because they're such a brand -- can't have their cake and eat it. They can't run their own streaming services and expect to still get the same benefits as before from a more traditional theatrical distribution business model. There's inevitably a trade-off.
Exactly. I actually really liked the new Little Mermaid, but why would I pay to see it in the theatre when it was on Disney+ relatively quickly. I have a big enough TV, with a decent sound system, and most importantly to me, the ability to pause when I need to pee.
sharePeople are tired of the woke shit in Disney's films. They're tired of films that are low-quality in the story-telling dept, and they're angry that Disney cares more about THE MESSAGE (which many parents don't want their kids hearing about at a young age) than they do about actually entertaining people. They're also tired of Disney only catering to tiny fringe groups of people instead of a broader audience.
It seems the only way to punish this arrogant, good-for-nothing studio, is to hit them where it hurts; in their wallet. So people have tuned Disney out by not going to theaters to watch their crap, canceling their Disney+ subscriptions, buying classic Disney films second-hand, and not buying any Disney products at the stores.
Exactly correct.
shareYet conveniently this 'woke messaging' isn't impacting Netflix subscriptions.
Funny that.
Probably because Netflix still has rights to very good non woke films and shows. If Netflix was full or first party woke garbage like Disney then you can believe people would cancel Netlfix subscriptions. This shows by how poorly Netflix first party woke films and shows fare with viewership. I.e Resident Evil (2022)
shareLMAO...YOU INTOLERANT FOLKS ARE FUNNY.
shareDo you think Resident Evil is the only TV show Netflix released since 2022?
They've released a lot of highly successful, well-watched TV shows.
You completely missed my point.
I acknowledged that they have plenty of good shows. I said IF they didn't and all they had were shows like RE, which was just one example, then people would have canceled the subscription
A good thing that they don't then. Every streamer has garbage like RE.

Well said! I could not agree more!

They all are...
The Internet has destroyed books, television, newspapers and music.
It has ruined the planet.
TV has arguably never been greater. Music is also excellent. You just don't know how to find stuff effectively
Newspapers, sure.
so much truth in that one small sentance
shareNot really. Music, TV are fine.
shareFrom your perspective that can be true.
Meanwhile, piracy, bloat of quantity over quality.........
>From your perspective that can be true.
It is true. You're either just unbelievably picky or you don't know how to find good content.
>Meanwhile, piracy, bloat of quantity over quality.........
Most things have always been bad, in any year. 90% of all music and tv have always been low quality.
Not sure what piracy has to do with anything here. That's a service issue.
No. I'm old enough I was alive before the internet existed for the public, and it brought huge amounts of bloat and piracy to both TV and music. Think whatever you like, it's fine.
That's how the internet hurt those things.
>No. I'm old enough I was alive before the internet existed for the public, and it brought huge amounts of bloat and piracy to both TV and music. Think whatever you like, it's fine.
Yes, there's more content released in TV and music, and thus more crap - but there's also more good content. TV has way more budget and gravitas to it than it did in the 80s and 90s. Most TV was trash network procedurals in the 1990s. There is no competition. Piracy exists because, well, the internet makes it easy to pirate + shitty service.
As for music, it's easy to filter for new content in genres you like. And there's no borders now. I can easily listen to an Estonian Shoegaze band in a few clicks. How could I do that before the internet? What hope would you have given a black metal band out of Azerbaijan in 1992 to gain any publicity?
I hope the new Snow White takes a big hit. It has to be the worst idea they have come up with.
shareI loved getting to see the Abyss in theaters and missed Die Hard last week but Disney needs to let more classic Fox movies be screened in movie theaters.
