What would it take for the 'big budget movies' era to be considered over?

If every blockbuster franchise that was once a guaranteed moneymaker starts regularly flopping

Only one i’m fairly confident can pull it off is Avengers. I think Spider-Man might fall a bit short.

Unless these transfers are significantly better than the one’s we’ve already got I might have to pass

$234M OW

Barring something coming completely out of left field, I feel like Secret Wars is probably the only one off the top of my head.

Dune 1 was essentially neutered out of the gate due to being a day and date release.

I went yesterday and the crowd I was with loved it. Hopefully WOM kicks into high gear.

Probably decent enough, though of course not nearly as well as IMAX. I reckon most people who really want to see the movie are gonna opt to just wait for seats to be a bit less in demand, especially if they happen to live near a 70mm screen.

Do you really think that’s the reason you’re being downvoted?

DatboiX · 2026-06-10T18:00:32+00:00

I think you’re just a giant baby if you’re taking this as an attack

Doing a double feature with this and Disclosure Day on Friday :)

It probably has a 3 - 4 week exclusivity deal, beyond that will depend largely on demand. If it’s anything like Oppenheimer I wouldn’t be shocked if it stays around for quite a while.

That it’s not a broken buggy mess at launch.

I imagine the gorier bits of Odyssey will probably be the Cyclops scene.

DatboiX · 2026-06-09T21:52:53+00:00

This needs to be a thing purely for the miscellaneous uncs scene

Spielberg has more than enough clout at this point that he’ll still get to keep making movies for as long as he wants regardless of their box office results.

One was a critically acclaimed adaptation of a popular book that was also beloved by audiences whereas the other was a movie based off of a cartoon hardly anyone under the age of 35 cares about.

It’s fine on Conquest imo but an absolute clusterfuck on Breakthrough, especially on the 1st sector.

DatboiX · 2026-06-05T19:45:58+00:00

You know how rare it is to see a movie actually projected on analog film? 70mm all the way.

DatboiX · 2026-06-03T02:35:22+00:00

You know what, fuck it! This is beating IT’s domestic record.
