But obviously MISS7 and MISS8 never got made at the same time... same with the Spider-Verse movies... and I imagine that's true for Wicked as well? And when they did it with Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Twilight, etc, it was just a matter of greed. (Deathly Hallows Part 2 was excellent but Part 1 was the worst in that series iMO)

Is Universal hedging its bets by not putting "Part 1" on Wicked? And hoping no one will find out until the end of the movie? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 30, 04:55

Split film Part 2 fatigue was used as the reason MOCKINGJAY: PT 2 underdelivered and since then studios have been scared to use it. {nm} notfabio Sep 30, 10:23

Also they retitled Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning part 2 {nm} RamsFan2004 Sep 30, 10:45

Yep another one where they threw the blame on box office on the Pt 1 * Pt 2 vs the unforced error of opening too close to BARBENHEIMER. {nm} notfabio Sep 30, 10:53

It didn't hurt SPIDERVERSE #2 to leave off Part 1. If it's good people will go {nm} Moviesnob Sep 30, 12:13

And most people were shocked/annoyed when that ended on a cliffhanger, even though Sony marketed it as Part 1 with the first trailer/teaser {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 30, 12:35

Most people didnt care {nm} Moviesnob Sep 30, 13:53

They hyped the buildup to the battle and then said "WAIT!" Mission Impossible, I knew was a part 1, but it still had a climax {nm} Kevman66 Oct 01, 00:48

They should just avoid making 2 parters and avoid the whole problem altogether. The cost savings not worth it if people won't go to part 1 {nm} RamsFan2004 Sep 30, 12:39

Also, the idea was always to make two movies at the same time, thereby saving money from downtime... TheWeekendWarrior Sep 30, 13:41

Also doesn't help if they are spaced too far apart (more than 1 year), like Mission Impossible {nm} RamsFan2004 Sep 30, 15:22
