Assuming it gets "good but not the best" reviews like Superman it will probably finish in the 600-700m range

Only thing that will save it is an actual collosus galactus fight, rather than what they did with the other FF movie and made him a cosmic splodge
Shame they made siver surfer a female though, that might harm it seeing he is the most known villian of FF after doom

Another movie that wouldn't sell 100k in tickets if it didn't have a brand name attached. Extremely unappealing cast. Not as bad the Nolans (actual wretch inducing) but obviously there is no charisma or balls here.

it's not about him being too old. It's about him being over exposed on top of looking nothing like Reed Richards. That is what the people have been complaining about.

As a team they're mostly vestigial appendages to Dr. Doom.

No, it looks boring. I'm a FF fan but the cast is awful and the MCU as a whole was a mistake, I hope Superman underperforms too and capeshit as a whole dies for at least 10 good years. The problem is not even superhero movies but the overall quality of them, which is very low.

I think the cast is fine outside of Pascal who seems completely miscast. I think the Joseph Quinn hate ITT has to be some kind of gay community inside baseball that I am not aware of since I'm not gay and don't travel in those circles.

I'm pretty sure this movie was concieved and created back when the blue hairs and their sympathisers still had complete control. Or at the very least had not been fully rooted out yet.

Yes Pascal is by far the worst but all of them seem to lack chemistry even in the trailers. If you can't buy the family/team angle on first sight the movie is doomed.

All they had to do was not have Kang job to fucking Ant Man. But they did and it simply showed how completely incompetent they were when it comes to telling any kind of compelling story. Just completely mindless. Quantumania pulled the curtain back in their whole fast food assembly line of slop philosophy. Because if anyone with any sense was in charge of writing it they would have stood up and raised their hand and said that Ant Man beating their next Thanos was retarded. But the whole MCU at that point was just one big thoughtless machine simply pumping out 'content' so a stupid decision like that made it through.

Then they just kept the mindless marching going pumping out more mindless creatively voided crap like The Marvels and Secret Invasion. It got so bad that any big name actor with a shred of dignity left said no when approached to play Reed Richards.(Jake Gyllenhaal) So they ended up settling on Pascal who will jump at anything right now to strike while the iron is hot in his career. Even though he is completely miscast.

The old model:
Split theatrical revenue with theaters, make secondary revenue by selling physical media, make tertiary revenue through VOD and cable

The New model:
No theatrical release, never released on physcial media, used solely to try and keep people from canceling their subscriptions to a service which operates at a loss

Stock price is the only think that matters. Betting on it increasing in value (share price) is the only thing that matters. Literally nobody gives a fuck about profits if the share price goes up. In fact having profits can be seen as bad because it means you are taking money out of the business when it's in its growth phase instead of putting that money back into the business to grow it even more.

Netflix has never made a dime of profit but it took over the industry by following that blueprint exactly.

There was a window for the legacy companies like Disney to compete with Netflix but they blew it by churning out nothing but slop like Book of Boba Fett and Obi Wan and blue haired woke slop like Willow that had to be removed from the service because it was so bad.

If Disney has kept pumping it pre Endgame level quality they would have better compared with Netflix but we all know how that went.

I'm torn on this one being any Marvel slop with known IP does at least OK. Yet for some reason the F4 franchise is just cursed. Every single film is just absolute trash, except for Alba running around in a body suit.
Too many characters and they just never get the casting x4 and doubt they did this time either.
I'm going to assume is does mid-level capeshit box office at best. No way it's hit film. That said I was sure Titanic would flop soooooo.

Jessica Alba in the present day still looks better than Hagessa

No one likes the Fantastic Four. They've gone without a running book at several points due to severe unpopularity and typically show up in other books.

Their comics were purposefully buried by Disney because they didn't hold the movie rights.

>0 successful films
Materialists is currently 2.5 times it's budget and going to make well over 3 times it's budget once foreign markets all come in. So it did very well but the funny thing is Pascal's twitterstans all complained/refused to see the movie because he just played a creepy manlet who got height surgery and was third wheel to the happy white couple in Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans.

So the point is that movie did well despite Pascal and his loser fanbase.
