Did you see either movie at the theater?
I'm only going to see Twisters, baybee!
@realjesterbell No, but I am out of my state visiting family and quite honestly none of these films appealed to them( to be fair, it’s an older crowd and none really like genre entertainment). Still, anyone who says you’re making up the box office are inhaling some strong copium. It’s awful. The thing is that what makes these so bad is not just the inflated budgets, but really Hollywood being out of touch with audiences. Outside some outliers like Dune or even Deadpool, notice how all these films are past IP that plenty of Gen Z and younger crowds aren’t into? When you combine that with expensive tickets, and streaming/ alternative consumption; it’s a recipe for disaster. Unlike what TV did to Hollywood back in the day. All in all, it’s just sad to see.
I saw furiosa,it was pretty good
Jesterbell. I would like to recommend something for you to watch on the topics you mentioned in this video if you're interested? You're right on point.👍
Just got back from the theater with my kid. We saw Back to the Future.
Hollywood no longer makes movies for us. They make movies for themselves and then scold us when we don't show up and pay good money to sit through their preachy vanity projects.
I wouldn’t say Garfield’s a bomb just yet- it’s already at $90 million worldwide against a $60 million budget. It’s not doing great for its launch here in the states, but it’s not doing terrible either.
I second this, it has until the first half of June to bring out the families.
@@tvs6607Any movie can bomb at the box office even if they’re number 1 at the box office
@legendaryTMNICO Garfield wasn't #1, though.
Idk... I've been seeing some very disappointing reviews from channels I know are fans of the IP.
With it being a major recognizable IP that has been adapted several times in the past, it definitely isn’t doing as great as it should be doing through the eyes of investors and the studios.
IF is basically a rip off of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
Fury road wasnt big box office win back in 2015 so making prequel spinoff 9 years later is a weird decision.
It wasn't, but it did eventually find success on dvd and streaming.
Exactly @@martianwoodpecker
Actually, Mad Max: Fury Road was a box office success and became the highest grossing Mad Max movie in the franchise but of course, it didn’t quite meet high expectations
You just reminded me that Blade Runner 2040 was a box office flop.
It does because they hate you. It is a culture war. None of this is done for physical currency
Production budgets have ballooned to the point that it's almost impossible to make a profit.
I live in a rural area so the nearest theater is about 4 towns away. Paying the gas money, ticket prices, and food wasn't exactly cheap. Still, we used to go to the movies as often as we could because it was worth it as a family outing. As the big movie quality kept decreasing, it dropped from being a 5-6 person trip to a 3-2 person trip and then no trip at all. It felt more and more like a rip off so we started watching movies at home. If it sucks, at least we didn't drive 50 miles away to see it suck
I think The Fall Guy was making about as much as you’d expect it to make at the box office. Kind of wild to think an action RomCom was going to be some sort of big blockbuster. They should’ve cut WAY down on the special effects budget a because the level of high quality CGI in the movie scenes didn’t really feel necessary. And getting a certain celebrity cameo in there probably didn’t help as well.
We used to use “BOMB” to mean major, massive failures. Now we use “BOMB” to describe literally ANY movie that underperforms at ANY level. Frankly? I think that’s pretty lame.
you must have noticed hollywood is bombing all the time lately with every single movie because they're all bad
@@yohnnyjames good movie bomb too. iron giant comes to mind
True, it does not seem like a fair judgement to say something bombed after one weekend when it can perform with much better results over the next month. I think box office number reporters are just way too impatient for results these days.
I think the biggest issue is the budget of these movies are still not learning. If these movies weren’t such big budgets, they would have a chance to make a decent profit worst case scenario.
Garfield is not a bomb. 60 million to make it. It only needs double that to break even. $91,075,000 currently. There's still the rest of the week.
You double it and add a bit on, it needs about 150 mill to break even.
@@ClassicHarleyQuinn Again, it can get that within the week.
@@peterrealar2.067 We'll see.
@@ClassicHarleyQuinn Monday is full of possibilities.
@@peterrealar2.067 ok.
I think one thing you only touched upon is that they dint give films time to gather word of mouth, especially the smaller ones. They often only have cinema releases of a few weeks at most, and if you happen to beef busy those weeks, tough. Really wanted to see the Holdovers and Milady in the cinema, but they got such small releases in gut uk I couldn't. Yet looked what happened with Godzilla minus one which started with a small release but built on the word of mouth to make a lot of money.
Crazy just crazy how when all Hollywood poops out is mid/10 movies and theaters way over charge for them no one goes. But no it's totally streamings fault right? Gotta punish people who stream instead of going to the theater with a bunch of aholes.
If they would give me an actual non protectionism reason to go to the theater id still love to. But so far this year nothing
The only Garfield movie worth watching is Garfield in the Rough.
And I refuse to accept any Garfield that is not voiced by Lorenzo Music or a Lorenzo Music sound-alike.
I think it’s honestly just crazy how overused Chris Pratt is at this point.
Ill still take streaming out of the gate over a 6 month wait. Protectionism doesnt fix things and my local theater frankly sucks and is owned by racists :/
Have to disagree, the theater experience amounts to crazy high prices for mediocre food and the luxury of siting on chairs that probably haven’t been cleaned since Titanic came out. Going to the movies used to be affordable and if a film doesn’t pull interest during the release period, it’s not worthwhile. Makes no difference if its out 1 month later or 6-8 months later on streaming or physical media
When a #1 release is still a BO bomb, that is a sign of something horribly wrong industry wide.
2 weeks, and it lands on streaming? Why'd anyone go to the theatres?
movie critic is a job?
For the fun experience and the magic of it. The feel and scale of the room as well as the size of the screen can’t be recreated in the average home no matter how cool your home cinema setup is. Plus, it makes you go outside instead of staying home. There’s just nothing like watching a movie at the theater imo and I find it sad that people are becoming disenchanted by them. Not that I don’t understand it but I’m worried it’ll cause movie theaters to disappear. That being said, I’m biased since I study animation and naturally have strong sentiments in regards to cinema in general so I get that this is is probably not as important an issue to most people
@@sacredgeek Some manage to live from that. That's all I know.
@@lbeast2855 Translation: for burning money.
Thanks, but no.
And you know why we want to work from home? Outside sucks. There are other people - to start with!
I think a large part of it is that the oversaturation of girlbosses and wokestremists werent a thing when fury road came out. Now, i imagime quite a few people looked at the furiosa trailer and just sighed, saying "meh, just another girl boss movie. A MAD MAX *saga*" movie without mad max and about furiosa? Its concept screams out girlboss movie, even if it isnt
Which is a shame because I heard it was pretty good. Not only that, but it was obviously just a spin-off movie, not a main entry usurping Mad Max to replace him as the main character, and the people behind the movie said that if it did well, it would lead to a prequel movie about Mad Max anyway.
Furiosa isn’t a girlboss, just go see it
Assuming it’s good, I really hope Horizon an American Saga does well at the box office! I really miss this kind of movie! Where there’s no prerequisite and you can just go because the trailer caught your interest and it looks like the people involved are giving it their all!
It probably wont. It’s pitted up against A Quiet Place and Inside Out 2 which will attract families. Also the week after it comes out Despicable Me 4 will be out
@@BussinHomie yea! You’re probably right. I mean I hope those movies are good too for fans.
Furiosa is a prequel, which is always a high risk endeavor. A Mad Max sequel to Fury Road with Tom Hardy with lower budget than fury road would have had a much better chance. For some reason, no matter how many times they flop, Hollywood insists on greenlighting prequels which most people just don't want.
I only watch small films now.
The last film I saw at the theaters was a French movie called GANG OF FOUR (La bande des quatre).
@@retroland9703 They almost always have nudity!
@@hcm9999 Yes censorship laws are practically nonexistent even on tv like Arte channel you see naked people all the time washing themselves lol
I would go to the movies but im constantly working so theres no time so i can keep up with todays cost of living. And when im not working im resting to then go back to work. Id like to assume there are others like myself with similiar circumstances.
I agree people go see movies that they want to see. I really don't think an actor can bring anyone to the theater these days.
Well that’s a darn shame. I will go see Furiosa but I’m surprised that it had a weak opening weekend on Memorial Day and also did not make as much as Mad Max: Fury Road. In fact, the opening numbers for Furiosa is almost the same as Casper in 1995 even though Casper is still commercial success despite mixed reviews from critics. Apparently, even that new Garfield movie also had a weak opening weekend on this year’s Memorial Day though it may have a chance to grossed more than its budget. Unfortunately, both Furiosa and The Garfield Movie are not in the same level as Mission Impossible 1 and 2, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Pearl Harbor, Bruce Almighty, The Day After Tomorrow, Madagascar, X-Men 3: The Last Stand, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Night at the Museum 2, Kung Fu Panda 2, Men in Black 3, Fast and Furious 6, X-Men: Days of Future Past, X-Men: Apocalypse, Aladdin (2019), A Quiet Place part 2, and Top Gun Maverick where those summer blockbusters released on Memorial Day have a big, strong, and successful opening weekend.
Goodstuff great video thanks.
Conspiracy joke theory : It bombed because it sounds like furry, and a woman lead in it (bad memory from marvel 2),and first trailer had too much CGI, more than people expected.
Garfield was fine, but nobody showed up.
Great assessment.
12 years ago.
Mad Max: Negasonic Teenage Warhead vs. Garfield, lol
It’s a shame about Furiosa, because it’s actually pretty good.
I saw Furiousa. It was decent but too long and it felt like the last film. Same characters (minus mad max) and was basically the same film to me, minus the larger grandeur
I would expect that most of the summer movies will bomb
PADDINGTON in PERU and MAXXXINE (by Ti West)😊
The Garfield Movie at least had a much lower budget than Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga!
Memorial Day weekend is where movies go to die. Families are gonna bbq that weekend instead of going to the movies
At least kingdon of the plabet of the apes did very well
@renamon5658
It really isn't. We're looking at a film that will just barely break even by the end of its run, at best. Not a catastrophic bomb, but far from a success either.
@@bigboi5545 kingdom of the planet of the apes just made $294.8 million one a budget of only $160 million and is currently the seventh higset grossing film of 2024 if that is not a smash hit then i dont know what is

@@matthewvalente5877
By that point, it hasn't even broken even yet.
@@matthewvalente5877Film needs to make about 360 million to break even.
I agree with the point that Ryan Gosling isn't that kind of movie star. He's an A-Lister for sure, but that's different from being a singular box office draw. Same with Anya Taylor Joy. Its not like she got everyone to turn out for The Menu. But that isn't to say they can't be (people loved Queens Gambit), it's just that the idea Hollywood doesn't have movie stars anymore (in the traditional sense) is TRUE, and it may take flops like these for people to finally see that.
It's easy to forget that without Barbie and Oppenheimer, everything else was failing last summer too.
Superhero movies and franchise films were keeping the lights on in Hollywood, and as public interest in these wanes, there's going to be a bit of a "detox" period, and a lot more under-performing blockbusters, until studios can figure out their next move. Change the way they spend, change the way they market, elevate new stars instead of IPs and for pete's sake, improve the writing. Progressivism has made storytelling worse, the average Joe can tell, and they've lost trust in Hollywood.
Is Fall Guy good? Is Furiosa good? I didn't go to either because I wasn't sure, and didn't feel like plopping money down to take the risk. Hearing that they are good is cool, but that's where we're at now. I'm fine waiting on word of mouth. That's bad for Hollywood because they need people going on blind faith.
Go see Furiosa! It’s so good.
Given the voice talent of Samuel L Jackson, Ving Rhames and Snoop Dogg, I think they should probably have given Garfield to Jackson and called the thing "Garfield, mother...".
Pitch Perfect technically beat Fury Road back in 2015, but that didn’t stop it from winning 6 Oscars.
But JesterBell... you forgot to list Beetlejuice 2 among the few movies that are worth going out to see this year that will do well yet you listed Joker 2 which I have not heard a lot of positive Buzz about
As I said before, the movies that are coming out now is simply not going to make everyone spend the type of money you have to spend in going to the theater now. I was surprise they made a prequel to Mad Max Fury Road because, even though the movie was successful at the box office, it didn't called a prequel to made and we see that now, based on the box office. I'm not going to talk about The Garfield Movie because no one wanted one.
What like about the 2020s so far as far as film goes is more horror and small to indie budget films get more exposure I look at as the film industry resetting itself
Shame. I wasn't super hyped for Furiosa but it was my most enjoyable theater experience in a long time. Some real choppy CGI tho
Just a thought. Perhaps people are sick of having politics rammed down their throats. Maybe we don't want to see films where the main point is that characters are gay, or female, or both. (I have no problem with a film where the main protagonist is female.) But where are the films with strong male leads, like Rambo or Bloodsport? Put the emphasis back on story and maybe we'll see better numbers in Hollywood. If it's not too late...
I'd rather just have a good story. Don't give a damn if the character is gay or man or woman. They need original ideas.
I have that exact fan in the background.
Why did you take her fan!?
@@atticstattic Because it’s secretly valuable. There’s no fan in the world like it. Nor is it ordinarily. Lol
So The Garfield Movie is bombing with a prod budget og $60mill and $92 mill at the box o so far.......Stupid
I've never seen anyone want a Furiosa movie apart from Miller. There really didn't seem to be anything else we needed to know about the character a prequel could offer.
The funnt thing is thay the people who are saying is bad didn't saw it yet, what makes this people think that it will be just as bad as captain marvel or the ghostbusters reboot?
If it was kill Bill or the femme nikita those these people would have said the same?
@@motor4X4kombat Back when those films came out the market hadn't been over saturated with badly written girl action films
@@JurassicRod and what make you think furiosa is the same?
That dumb friend you that told you he knows everything about cinema but he think citizen kane is overrated?
@@motor4X4kombat People in general see an action film with a female action hero in it now and think it's just more of the same. hence not bothering to risk wasting money to go see it. Same as people are now skipping superhero films due to so many bad one's over the last few years. People can't afford to waste money going to the cinema on the off chance the newest one will be better after numerous experiences of them being bad.
@@JurassicRod sure don't watch it because "bad experiences" the same way you won't watch everything everywhere all at once because its a multiverse movie like the flash, or you won't watch dune because is a space fantasy film like rebel moon, or the boy and the heron because "animation is for kidz like minions or the care bares".
Just say you don't watch because you don't like good action films like fury road or John wick, and you like shitty action movies like the fast and the furious and bad boys.
I don't love the industry breakdowns but I love your industry breakdowns! I remember your thoughts of The Fall Guy in your community post! Thanks for sharing your brief thoughts on Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, JesterBell. I've only seen the original 1968 movie and I saw all of the new trilogy, and with Mad Max, I saw the first two and Fury Road. Hope you enjoy Garfield! I liked the animation and art style in the trailer, and it could be a pleasant family film surprise for me like the Sonic movies, which were the most I enjoyed video game movies besides Street Fighter II: The Animated movie.
I only saw one trailer, but the Angel Studios' movie Sight looked good imo! It was one of my most anticipated upcoming movies besides, the Cabrini executive producer Eduardo Verastegui's Mother Mary movie, the Passion of the Christ sequel, and....I'm still looking forward to the James Gunn Superman and Batman. I've only seen his Guardians of the Galaxy movies because looking at the IMDB parents' guide turned me off from wanting to see his The Suicide Squad movie, but I liked Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 so much when I saw it! Favorite 2023 movie besides Sound of Freedom and Nefarious!
Thanks again! Hope you and your family have a magnificent Memorial Day, JesterBell! Looking forward to your thought on the greatest decade of film!
And Furiousa Deserved Alot Better Treatment & Had Hype Ever Since Fury Road😒 (One of the best action movies ever made) 😴
It’s a masterpiece, and don’t worry- it’s doing really well overseas, it wouldn’t have had a 7 minute standing ovation at the Cannes premiere if it wasn’t. American audiences were more interested in Pitch Perfect than Fury Road when it came out, but that never stopped it from winning six Oscars.
I saw Garfield
What is really concerning is that they got me out of the habit of going to the movies. So now... it really has to be a draw. Both of this movies I didn't want to see in the first place.
Get in my car and drive somewhere to pay $15 (per person) to watch a movie. Shell out for food and soda. Get in my car and drive home.
*Or* wait 2 weeks to stay home and pay the same price to rent it on Amazon. Have some friends over to watch it at no extra price. Eat and drink what I want. Pause the movie and use the bathroom if i need to.
Thanks, Hollywood, for helping me make that choice
No this is not a surprise. No one wanted another Garfield movie (Just go read the comic strip) and no one wanted a Mad Max film with no Mad Max in it. I saw IF this weekend and I actually enjoyed it very much.
Furiosa is better than IF. Cut your prejudice and give it a chance.
Gardfield sucks though
@@motor4X4kombat I didn't like Fury Road either. Mad Max is not my thing. But, I am thrilled you enjoyed it.
@@YTLawnGnome then the better complain is "why they keep milking this franchise when im not a fan of it?"
Because saying "mad max is not mad max without mad max" make you sound like you are a fan. Be honest with your general thoughts rather than just repeting whatever buzzword you heard
Haven't been to the theater in 40 years. And I don't care to waste my data cap on streaming. I wait and buy the blurays if I'm interested
So you haven't been to a single film IN THATERS since 1984?
Well looks like 2024 is gonna be another year with nothingness and I have a feeling by the end of this year things will change
people are sick of woke crap
they deserved to flop
Hollywood won't change.
Angle studios will make movies and series that we wanna see(no bad reprensentation and no AI, just good original stories).
for this weekend. I didn't know or care Garfield was out. and as Furiosa goes Im just not interested in watching a hyper masculine one armed butch women for 2.5 hrs.
17 years ago !
Furry Oh Sa!
Good Writting is the key with the extra what going on in life try escape the poltics and they bring back in shows and movies all the time now so why my escape to story has make sense and covid lol so people writting great story like you in manga or comic
It was a good movie but nowhere near the level Fury Road. that film set the bar too high
You mean Furryosa Weekend bombed?
Whodda thunk it? Audiences don't trust movies anymore. We're sick of the deluge of rainbow propaganda being shoved down our throats.
There’s no wokeness in it whatsoever.
Short Answer U Just Don't Like Marvel or Any Franchise Movies 👍🏾 "Got You"
We are not just in a recession we are in a depression. People dont have money. Unless it's just amazing, who's going to pay money for that. I'd rather go out to eat than see a movie now. A month of streaming of any given service is the same price of a ticket. They have shot themselves in the foot with that.
We are in a Bidenflation where Gen Joe is forcing more people to get impacted by record high inflation. LGB
Shitty writing is why. It's the main reason. If you have a good movie, people will pay to see it.
I’ve been saying that for a while. It’s almost as if they hire everyone, show up on set and improvise. There should be writing committees with one or two highly critical people in the room who are negative. Hammer the script until it’s cohesive
Vilifies child rearing for decades, shocked that theres no audience today.
The problem with 'Fursioa a Mad Max saga,' they are trying to insert a female character lead in a male lead franchise! This would be no difference then making a Barbie movie and make Ken the star! Garfield is simple they should of got Bill Murrey back to voice Garfield not Chris Pratt!
That’s not what’s happening, she’s not replacing Max, it’s a spinoff/origin about another character that ties into the whole saga. They’re clearly setting up a film with Max by introducing certain characters like Scrotus & Chumbucket.
Ironacly the most develop character in barbie was Ken, and the most develop character in fury road was furiosa.
So make the math
Movies are all derivative and far too expensive for me. It’s easy for me to skip them. I saw the road warrior and liked it. If I want more of this I can simply rewatch that. Thats not even discussing the woke political lectures that many of these movies throw in our faces.
Sonic 3 and Deadpool are gonna blow everything out of the water. The competition is laughably bad.
Yeah, pretty much. I mean, who in their right minds would miss out on Sonic vs. Shadow and a Deadpool/Wolverine and X-Men team-up? Everything else looks God awful and painfully bland by contrast. From now on, movies can't simply be good or even great. They need to be massive, once-in-a-lifetime events. THAT is the only way the film industry is going to survive from now on.
This follow-up to Sonic 3 & Knuckles sounds pretty wild.
@@OtakuD50 You're being sarcastic. Why, exactly?
@@SpiderGuy325 The game Sonic 3 combines with Sonic & Knuckles to make Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Sonic 3 & Deadpool sounds like a romhack.
Fury Road came out 9 years ago. That ship sailed a long time ago for most people.
So many franchises have been destroyed that even normies are turned off. People aren't going to the theater to see a mid film. They're just not, especially with costs the way they are. Studios have ruined so many things that people have tuned out, and now they're gaslighting the audience and saying its their fault when that simply is not the case.
Some of the examples cited kinda snuck up. With Fall Guy, I don't recall seeing a single promo. With a lot of the failures recently, I wondered if they had zero confidence and pulled the advertising budget. If their test screenings have a funereal atmosphere, then they have to know they're unloading defective goods.
The lineup of new movies aren’t that good and reserved seating sucks.
Bro said “normies” lol
Did we forget about Godzilla x Kong? That one had a pretty successful box office run if I’m not mistaken
It did, but JesterBell didn't like that movie, so she seems to ignore it lol
It was a very moderate success. In order for Hollywood to survive they need constant financial returns. The truth is for every moderate success there is about 4-5 colossal bombs. There are anomalies of successes but it’s over for Hollywood .
One movie out of ten is not a good statistic though. I mean, we are almost mid year and I cannot think on a really succesful movie, I think everyone is just waiting for DP3.
@@epbmetal429 bingo. It’s not financially sustainable for these studios anymore. It’s over. Those that refuse to see it are in denial.
Honestly i like furiosa more than GxK. With GxK beeing the first time i fell asleep on cinema
5 years ago I thought to myself after watching Avengers Endgame "Disney won't be the king of entertainment without theater" (cuz almost every Disney movie that year made billion)
My thought didn't aged that well...
In the end, 2019 was truly the swan song for movie theater (9 out of 10 highest grossing movies of that year are made billion)
Bad movies, bad business practices, bad theatre experience: The whole industry is in free fall.
It should have been called Mad Maxine.
She’s not replacing Max, it’s a spinoff/origin
Manga, anime and anime movies are making money.
Western media like comics, shows and movies aren't.
Sure would be nice if those rich corporations could buy some pattern recognition skills.
The studio system is just responding to consumer choice… the shift to primarily relying on IP is because general audiences go to films based on IP.
Only 4 of the 50 highest grossing films are not based on IP.
Also… the billion dollar film is a new phenomenon and is not a measure of the film industry’s health… in fact it’s a symptom of its sickness… Fury Road was a huge success.
In 2015 we hadn’t reach the state when the majority of films studio put out bombed… in 2015 it was huge news when a movie was an out and out bomb… in 2015 the film in 200th place made 24million… in 2023 200th place made 8 thousand.
The consumer has moved on from Cinema… its content now, and before the entire system crashed to the ground you will continue too have dead cat bounces… Deadpool Wolverine will likely hit 1-2 billion… but its not because Cinema is still relevant, meanwhile A24 and Neon will continue to put out fantastic film after fantastic film that essentially no one will go to and people will continue to decry its all about quality… when its not.
Corporations were the gun, the audience pulled the trigger… streaming was the bullet.
FYI: If no one goes in opening weeks of a film it makes total sense capitalize on all the marketing for the theatrical and convert that over to VOD sales... being as there is essentially little money in the direct to consumer market with physical being dead at this point with last years biggest selling title grossing 6.5 million (not including production, distribution and the retailers cut).
It makes sense that trying to get consumers to purchase when the film is still in the conversation…. I know it’s fun to think the average person understands how best to monetize a product, but the average consumer not only doesn’t look at the actual number, but they also have no experience nor anything riding on arm chair advise.
If you only give audiences one kind of thing, then of course they’re only going to want more of that one kind of thing. It’s not that these IP based movies are what consumers really really want, it’s that movie studios have conditioned audiences to only see IP based movies and not anything original. Just imagine if the studios actually pushed more original ideas, then maybe we’d have better box office results.
Maybe you missed that 4 out of 50 of the highest grossing films are original… the amount of films EVERY year are original.
The consumer can complain all they want about IP based films, but it’s an empty complaint when you look at reality.
Honestly, It seems Hollywood is finding it harder and harder to figure out what type of movies audience members and film fans want to see on the big screen due to so many films flopping at the box office. While I do agree a part of that comes from what I like to call the "bringing back nostalgia gravy train" and relying way too much on old nostalgic properties and IP's from the past, I do find it frustrating that even when Hollywood pumps out something that's not based on any pre-existing story, it still flops anyway. Granted I also understand factors like Hollywood not giving more original ideas enough theater screenings, as I'm sure that's a reason why original IP's flop. Then there's other factors like the long term effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Hollywood Writers Strike Event. I just hope that movie theaters can survive for at least a handful of more years down the road, as like many others, I love going to the theater and seeing films on the big screen. That being said though, we will see what happens regarding when or if movie theaters go extinct.
If you break a habit, it doesn't snap back into place. And I wonder if there's a longer malaise. Maybe I'm just old, but thinking about films, I don't know what would produce some level of excitement. If you've taken rapid editing and postmodern recombinations as far as you can, then what do you do next that makes people's hearts go pitter-patter? If they got rid of the CGI, then maybe a film might be more impactful at a visceral level. Themes could maybe improve resonance. Good cinema for me is rapturous. I don't think Hollywood has the imagination to present strange new vivid worlds that aren't politically preprocessed.
3:04 Ryan gosling not successful? How about "La La Land" from 2016? Earning its cost 14 times up and getting six Oscars, seven Golden Globes, Five BAFTA awards? Or The Notebook from 2004?
In 2023 I only saw five movies in a theater all the rest I probably streamed them on a platform really it's a better convenience to watch at home than having to drive to a theater and being around people, so far this year the only movie in a theater I've seen was Batman (1989) at the Alamo Drafthouse and that is a 35 year old movie, I am waiting for Deadpool and Wolverine but so far all the films this year don't hold my interest.
I see people don't understand how movies breaking even/being successful works. It's not just the budget they need to make back. You double the budget and add a bit on. Take Garfield for example, has a 60 mill budget so therefore it needs to make about 150 mill give or take some to break even. 90 mil as it stands isn't a success nor breaks even.
Also not sure if I'm going to see anything in June but July and August I will be. Kicking off with Deadpool and Wolverine and then Twisters.
Why are we getting these crappy movies non stop
Furiosa is amazing
I'm very confused on what to do at this point. Fall Guy, and Furiosa both bombed? Do people want action adventure films? Do they want original ideas? Most of the time if something isn't based on anything then people won't go and see, and now it's happening to products that are based off of something. Are people just tired of all of it? Are movie theaters going to go out of business? I'm genuinely interested! What do people want?
Short answer: no, they don't
Long answer: they always save their money to watch the same shit (GxK)
Furiosa was good. Not woke in my opinion. I thought it did a good job at creating a strong female action star, unlike most recent stuff.
The franchise Hollywood relied on they killed their own gold goose. The only one to blame is Hollywood. More and more people are done with mediocre movies. I'm done with mediocre movies.
But the a tiny group of braindead people that want me to accept mediocre I will not drop my standards.
But, but, the access media told me Furiosa was going to be huge, and they're never wrong. ;)
it's sad. we're seeing movie theaters die off, nothing will save it now.

Jester Bell Everyone is having barbecues today. They are all eating hamburgers and chicken. Of course they aren't going to be at rhe movies. Duh!!
It doesn’t matter. This was the WORST Memorial Day weekend for movies in DECADES. It is a trend . Duh!!
20M viewers since theaters existed -- it will "never" change = each SEAT now used2b a THEATER : )
it will end in acouple of decades this dilution -- OVER"POPs"
Dating is not doing well, so films aren't doing well. And the theaters are nowhere near what they could be. The food is...damnable. Would you feed it to someone you were trying to impress? No. No you would not. You're lucky to get any value for your money either. The best that can be said about theaters is that they are slightly less creepy than carnivals at night.
Furiosa is actually a success, what are you talking about? Even Charlie is crazy about it
Mhm
Saw Furiosa last night. I was with a group of people. We had gone for a Ren Fair. We were drinking. After getting some to eat after the fair, we decided to see Furoisa. Went to the theater still in our fantasy garb. It was a blast, considering you already kinda knew where the chracter wsa going to end up. Got me thinking... are the days of movies making End Game numbers just over, and not an indicator or quality?
No movies have raked in Endgame cash, except the Avatar series, of course.
Do you have a video talking more about your thoughts on The Last Jedi?
Inside Out 2 will cross 100 mil + just wait for it.
Yeah but it still isn’t good enough. Wish : flopped , Lightyear : flopped , etc. This isn’t sustainable. Hollywood is done.
@@AverageJoe483 Just wait and see then come back and reply
Garfuriosa 😂

Yeah, it seems like Hollywood believes something like Mad Max is as popular as Star Wars ( when it was still good ) or Marvel's Avengers.
It is in Australia
I wouldn’t waste my time going to the movie theaters anymore it’s gotten too damn expensive. I would rather stay at home watching what I want.
A "Mad Max Saga" movie with no mad max.....go figure
Next you'll tell me they are making Batman and Spider-Man movies without Batman or Spider-Man
@@EggFighterXB- well now that you mention it. There was this film called Madam Web.
@@Yousaf_Yunes Just that one?
It is great
