    • @JoeJoe-lq6bd
      @JoeJoe-lq6bd 26 дней назад +5

      Yeah, I share both of those sentiments. I think they saw the shiny, new streaming business and never thought about how that could be profitable for big-budget, or even mid-budget, films. They made the gap between theatrical release and streaming release way too short. Additionally, the average theater experience is nothing special for the price. I'll pay those high prices but make it something more enjoyable than me sitting in my home.
      Original films really are a hard sell to people now. Unless there's huge marketing hype, I can't even get friends to see something that isn't attached to a known property. I think that's also largely because people have been conditioned to that being what film is, a continuing series of stories about a known set of characters. Studios were able to get away with that business model when most of the blockbuster IP films were opening huge. Even a lot of critics were oblivious to the fact that it was a boom-and-bust business model that wouldn't sustain the industry long-term. And so, here we are.

      By some miracle, but more due to quality of story and FX, Godzilla Minus One, which was supposed to be a non-factor, ended up helping both itself and the Monsterverse version. And I hope we get both type of "smart" Godzillas in the future. It will be interesting, that with the extra time period having to wait for streaming, if people will simply jump up and buy the hard media, and also check out Minus One even more, when it's finally released, probably on Netflix in the US.

    The one thing that people seem afraid to mention is this…people are just not as interested in specifically just Movies anymore as a form of entertainment. We have TV Shows & Video Games now competing and arguably more popular as a whole and matching them for quality, and with the amount of them in a marketplace flooded with content, for a movie to truly hit and force people to go out and see it then it has to either be truly outstanding or be tied to a famous IP, or be a popular family movie that can bring in all demographics. The movie business is not as special as it once was.

      agreed, as a teenager in the 90s and then a young adult in the 2000s, going to the movies on a weekend was a popular pastime for those agred 15-25. These days, this same age bracket are more likely to be playing the latest videogame or checking out new tic-tok vidoes (unless it is an even movie like Dune or Mario). Given the cost of living has also rose astronomically since then, I dont blame young people for not going to the theatre as much either.

There was a group of little girls in front of me that kept saying "pretty" & "I love that dress". Some women about my age mentioned how they forgot how many dresses Padme had. This got me thinking about how as a kid I wanted, like, all of Padme's outfits. Maybe if Lucas Film wants girls to like Star Wars they should take some fashion advice from the prequels.

    The problem with The Fall Guy is not the quality of the film or anything I think it mainly has to do with the fact that the budget is so big! Why is the budget for a movie like that almost at superhero movie budget type levels? I also think that the marketing doesn’t do as well to give people an idea as to what the movie is about. Even I believe they did a decent job marketing it. A movie like Fall Guy wasn’t going to make $100 million opening weekend.

      @@alexp601 it most definitely I would say in terms of a good portion probably paid our two main leads so that could be around maybe $10-$20 million right there. Or $5-$10 million might be better. I’m not sure if this movie was in production during Covid so there might be some added costs there and yeah I would agree that a lot of the action does add the cost too. Jokingly, I wonder how much they paid all the studios for the first opening five minutes of the movie because if you’ve seen the movie, you know that they use footage from other movies with stunts that are owned by other studios I think.

    I’ve seen The Fall Guy twice now once in Imax and once in 4DX and had a blast with it. I also remembered the 80’s TV show (been having the theme song stuck in my head) and the original Metalstorm that they’re spoofing in the movie as well as Miami Vice (which had a reboot too that Michael Mann directed as well). But I also saw with younger people who didn’t know any of those things so it didn’t matter if it was a remake because it was new to them. The tastes of movie goers has changed so much and segmented that it’s impossible to predict what will be a hit. Also spectacular stunts which used to wow audiences before don’t seem to impress people much anymore because of the frequent use of digital stunt doubles. No one can hardly tell the difference now which may put stunt artists out of work sadly just as they are fighting to be recognized at the Academy Awards.

    2. It doesn’t appear to be anything like the TV show(which was probably bad, but i have fond memories of it. I haven't seen it since i was 9)
    3. It's advertised like a rom com
    4. I only recently found out it was directed by a stunt man and has almost all practical effects.
    5. I live in the northern midwest and it was nice out this weekend. I have no interest sitting in a theater when i can be outside instead.
    6. There are so many trailers for movies so far in the future, they are just noise at this point. I honestly did not know it came out this weekend.

    Hey Dan, I wonder if the price of going to the movies has anything to do with waning audiences. I seem to remember going to the movies was a lot cheaper and now, even when I want to go, I sometimes can’t because tickets are super pricy. Around my social circles, going to the movies is no longer “something to do on any Saturday” but something you plan for. For instance, I wanted to see Challengers and Fall Guy but couldn’t go this week cause it was too much money. It’d be cool if you talked a little about this.
