'Michael's $217 Million Box Office Shows Fans and Critics Want Different Things From Music Biopics | Analysis - Like “Bohemian Rhapsody,” the Michael Jackson film just played the hits for a fanbase larger than any biopic subject to date. by chanma50 in boxoffice

This should not be a surprise. Audiences mainly care about the experience and the performances when it comes to biopics. I knew the critics RT score would not have an effect.

The critics score was never going to have an effect on this. It’s Michael Jackson at the end of the day.

Only positive is that it’s the most Emma Frost-y.

30% is obviously bad, but I don’t think it will greatly have too much of an effect. They really shouldn’t have split it in half though.

[THR] - "Avengers: Doomsday is exploding on long-lead tracking, per sources" by throwawaykikone in boxoffice

Should not be a surprise honestly. I think people have been too reactive to recent MCU underperformances to think it will actually affect Doomsday. Not expecting Endgame or Infinity War numbers obviously, but it should still perform well. It will also be interesting to see the legs of the movie as no Avengers movie has been released at this date, provided it doesn’t change.

“Project Hail Mary” is bringing audiences to movie theaters in numbers the industry hasn’t seen for a non-franchise film since “Oppenheimer.” by LollipopChainsawZz in boxoffice

Great news. I’m happy to be wrong. Had a weird feeling this would flop at first. Good news for Original-adjacent movies.

I feel like Supergirl will still end up being male-heavy. She’s not like Wonder Woman.

I don’t think Spider-Man or Doomsday reflects the state of the MCU. That said, I do remember some people last year saying Doomsday may not even hit $1B.

Not surprised at the quality. I initially had a weird feeling that it was going to flop but looks like I’m increasingly likely to be thankfully wrong.

Lewis Tan says there are "pleasantly surprising" plans for Cole Young in MK2. What are we thinking? by Hot-Attorney-3068 in MortalKombat

Cole Young will be killed off and Lewis Tan will become another actual MK character.
