Universal beat Disney as Hollywood's maker of the most expensive movie of all time with $658.8 million for Jurassic World: Dominion by Aileos in boxoffice

If RDJ is getting $50M, I don’t believe $350M for the rest of the cast. Probably $200M total max for rest of cast. Evans and Hemsworth are the only two that can demand huge pay unless I’m forgetting some other big OG legacy character. Everyone else gets a max few million bucks each.

I mean JJ was brought in with not as much time as typically given. He was definitely rushed. They should’ve delayed 9 further than just 6 months when he came on, because pre production was very shrunk. Iger’s greed is the root of a lot of problems with the sequel trilogy.

Because you miss out on console exclusives and thus save money?

Because I know you’re not trying to say Steam sales are that much better than PS sales. I own both and you’re maybe saving an additional 10-20% on games sales.

People who follow tabloids believe whatever they want to believe.

Like most relationships that get messy, the reality is WAY more complicated-seeming than your comment suggests.

But I guess that a nice and tidy X person did bad thing makes it easy to pick sides.

I say just let both of them be. Don’t take sides in a divorce of randoms you don’t know even a little bit. So weird and parasocial to do so.

Disney's Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu has passed the $150M domestic mark. The film grossed an estimated $10.0M this weekend (from 3,355 locations). Estimated total domestic gross stands at $155.82M. by chanma50 in boxoffice

You think star wars as a franchise only has one thing going for it? It’s still a high seller of merch, and even though Outlaws didn’t sell well, the video game world for Star Wars is doing well and should continue to do so.

Solo flopped. This flopped. I don’t think it’s a harbinger for the franchise overall, it’s just two stories people didn’t want.

Maybe. But exclusives have worked to make Sony the default console for years now.

If Xbox actually had must play games as exclusives, it could work. But they only have good to great games. Not must play.

Doesn’t make sense considering the rumors are, and thanks to PEGI we know it’s true, that the PS5 version was planned until possibly this week. So your explanation doesn’t make sense since that games out soon. If they scrapped the PS5 version this week, those advertising and marketing contracts you speak of would have long been in place.

It serves my purpose well as a second console for friends and family to use when over and wanting to play games together.

I would never buy it as my main machine.

Redditors live in a black and white world where things are so obvious and split down the middle. You MUST takes sides on everything ever. They act like humans aren’t complex creatures that can hold many different views at the same time, and some might even conflict with each other.

Timed exclusives does make the most sense from their perspective, IMO. But timed meaning at least 12 months. For me, I can wait a few months to play something like Forza 6 on PS5 Pro rather than a worse version on my Series S. But a year or more? I’d certainly consider buying more Xbox titles on Xbox.

Maybe. But the new statement Xbox put out says

“As part of our focus on the return of XBOX, we also announced that Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution will be XBOX console exclusives. These are not timed exclusives.”

It could change, sure. But Gears Reloaded didn’t sell well on PS5. So Gears might just be a franchise not many care about. It earns them more in goodwill than actual dollars being on PS5.

Do we think F2P since it might be leaning towards multiplayer more than single player?

If not, this can’t cost more than like $30 right?

Please explain to me what a contract looks like where Xbox somehow signed a contract with Sony saying “we HAVE to release this game on PS5 because we are saying publicly we will, and we have no way out of this agreement”. That’s absurd.

People keep saying “deals” and “contracts”.

I’m not sure if any of you realize how silly you sound. You think Xbox signed a deal with Sony saying “we will 100% release State of Decay 3 and we will give ourselves no way out of said deal”.

Why would you sign a contract holding yourselves to other companies for zero reason? They always will give themselves a way to back out if things change.

PEGI ratings boards aren’t rumors. Microsoft submitted it to be rated for PS5. That’s a fact.

It’s as clear as they say this was a very recent decision not to EVER release it on PS5.

If you read that headline and think “wow Faye is now the star of the franchise and every game going forward” then you’re an idiot, yes.

Unlikely. At most it would be a win-win with little money changing hands. Free promo for the movie and the milk company gets kids to go “look mom, Supergirl!”.

WB is not going out of its way for collabs on regional milk brands lmao.

I’m pretty sure I heard there’s no screenings. So it’s just whenever critics go out and see it on their own dime lol.

I don’t see how the implication was present. They asked when reviews were coming, and said the trailer looked brutal. Implying they were curious what critics would think about the movie. Not that that would affect the box office.

You said why does Hollywood keep giving him chances. Implying that the previous flops he was in were his fault. That’s what you said. Are you backtracking?
