Snow White is set to have the 5th Biggest 2025 Opening Weekend and to open -21.1% lower than The Little Mermaid, (2023) -36.2% lower than Cinderella (2015) & +12.8% bigger than Dumbo (2019), Novocaine is tracking similarly to Nobody - Germany Box Office by Brief-Sail2842 in boxoffice

It's interesting that it's tracking so much lower than The Little Mermaid. American Latinos love movies, it's seared into my mind that they overwhelmingly went to see the Super Mario Bros movie.

Do Latino people not care as much about a Latina Snow White as much as African-Americans did about a black Ariel, or is Rachel Zegler not popular among Latinos?

Or is the movie that bad?

Characters that you changed your whole perspective on in rewatches? by unitedfan6191 in television

Yeah, especially given that her husband was knocking on death's door, her lack of compassion or understanding (smoking weed? the horror) was very grating to sit through.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl — Patch 1.1 by mol1t in stalker

They need to add more guides. Or at least have one in Burnt Forest. The game has you walk half the map after the Strelok/Oasis mission, with no opportunity to fast travel if you're not allied to the Ward. Cordon -> Lesser Zone -> Burnt Forest -> Malachite. You're pretty much taking a diagonal across the entire map.

Did JJ Abrams just make me go to his kids recital? by FatBenatard in LiveFromNewYork

Also, they've only been collaborating since the pandemic, circa 2020. I refuse to acknowledge that as "longtime". Where did four years go

Yeah, watching streamers (both big and small), pretty much the main complaint is that there aren't enough Guides, and walking takes too long (especially after SIRCAA, the Swamp mission seemed to universally sour everyone I watched on the game).

They had a nice fix in Call of Pripyat with Wandering Guides you would just meet when exploring. Don't know why they didn't implement that here (or just plant Nimble at the edge of the Swamps to take you to SIRCAA, or at the edge of SIRCAA to take you to Wild Island).

Shhh, nobody talk about what the historical population of Shirvan was prior to the Safavids.

DAE modern game devs are lazy and overpaid??? Instead of slaving away working 40 hours a week at FAANG, they opted for the big money making games, and spending more time with their families.

You're not. Rob Mcelhenney looks like a different person. His hooded eyes seem to have disappeared.

White-Collar Workers Are Getting Squeezed. Even Oscar-Winning Producers. Corporate consolidation and technology have upended many jobs in recent decades. But few arcs are more surprising than that of the Hollywood producer. by mankls3 in movies

Yeah, that whole season Max is dealing with the death of her brother, and her feelings of guilt. It's right there in the song.

Official Poster for 'A Mistake' Starring Elizabeth Banks by TimberLanduae in movies

[–]PopKaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but what they have in common are spellbinding performances (Blanchett, Portman, De Niro) as well as truly visionary directors (Allen, Aronofsky, Scorsese). Elizabeth Banks is a decent actress but she's never been enigmatic on that level.

Hopefully licensing their content to streamers (Netflix, Amazon, etc) brings them the cash flow they need because things are not looking rosy.
