Marvel fatigue? Really underwhelming if it barely does better than ANTM3. {nm} Antibody May 02, 13:47

Couple of issues. Marketing it as SAD vs FUN was a terrible idea. Collateral damage from ANTM3/general fatigue. Waited too long for Gunn. {nm} notfabio May 02, 14:08

Too bad Gunn never developed a protege that could have taken it over with his blessing while he was busy with The Suicide Squad ala Cameron {nm} notfabio May 02, 14:15

It seems depressing and violent. {nm} Opener Fund May 02, 18:20

bring back Chapek, lol {nm} my mate paul May 02, 14:17

Speculation that gotg will have better walkups than the other recent big marvel hits (seems like a more casual movie than drst2 at least) MattW May 02, 15:40

they barely work off a completed script at this point, if you believe CMQ {nm} my mate paul May 02, 13:30

That Whitney Houston biopic is doing GREAT on Netflix... TheWeekendWarrior May 02, 12:39

GFR: Tom Cruise and Will Smith are in negotiations with DreamWorks to star in Spy Games directed by Sam Mendes Antibody May 02, 11:59

So that's just a $50 million budget for those two? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior May 02, 12:03

V: GOTG3 hoping $120 million; $110 to $118 million, according to independent tracking services. TXTFU aiming $5 million Antibody May 02, 11:20

That would be $26 million less than Guardians Vol 2 despite 7 years of ticket inflation... BP2 opened lower than BP but not by that much. TheWeekendWarrior May 02, 11:27

Maybe PT Anderson would be a better example :) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior May 02, 11:28
