I have to point out that the two Vin Diesel moves mentioned in the OP are actually financial successes globally, especially F8.Rirse posted:Yeah I liked the Lego Batman Movies...shouldn't it be the Lego Ninjago movie that was the weird one that failed to capture the charm of the Lego Movie? Also where is Tom & Jerry Meets Willy Wonka on the list? Yeah, Lego Batman did way better than Ninjago.

, so no matter how beloved the main character is it got obliterated in the Mexican box office. I haven't seen it, by the way. So I'm not sure how faithful is to the old as gently caress comics (that are still releasing).

Annihilation is not mentioned in the OP? It's probably a good movie, but it also has a weird distribution where it's in theaters in the US but on Netflix just weeks later everywhere else. Also two producers on the movie hate each other with one of them (same guy who produced Geostorm) saying that it's too intelligent or something.

I guess making the Monster Truck monster a fanged placenta is probably not going to appeal to children. I guess The Rock did sort of play a Doc Savage type character in Jumanji.

I think Surge was indeed consulted for this new movie. He's getting money from it, probably. Anyway, can you people guess what upcoming movie this picture of Ben Mendelsohn is from?  Robin Hood

Ridley Scott criticized studios because they hire inexperienced directors for huge and expensive movies, so Disney is in talks with him to direct a movie based on TA Barron's The Merlin Saga.

Basebf555 posted:They just need to be smart about it, but it seems like these days they rarely are. I love Ridley Scott, but he seems to exclusively work only on huge budget projects these days. But there needs to be more restraint when it comes to launching these risky new potential franchises. Maybe make it for 50 million instead of 90 so that it actually has a realistic chance of making money and earning a sequel. Alien Covenant and All The Money In The World were relatively not that expensive. Scott even said that he considers it a failure if a movie needs 200 million to be made.

Wheat Loaf posted:Holdover from 2017: The Last Jedi is expected to do badly in China (where Star Wars has never been the world-conquering franchise it is everywhere else), which combined with its slowdown in North America may yet vindicate my expectation that it won't be the number one movie for 2017. I thought The Last Jedi have already outgrossed all other movies in 2017.

They wouldn't have to be elegant in cutting him out, just have Deadpool turn to the camera and say "Yeah my best friend turned out to be kind of a douchebag so we had to cut out all his scenes." I still like my Christopher Plummer idea. Only Deadpool will notice anything different and when he asks Weasel, Plummer will answer "a lifetime of being a pervert really took a toll on me".

Neo Rasa posted:This would actually own and they could use the same model they used for the Soul Reaver games!!!! Raziel can't be in sunlight, swim, and a bunch of other "Tomb Raider" kind of things but has a bunch of crazy abilities of his own like passing through things as a spirit. You could totally make a Soul Reaver template game built around switching between them instead of switching between the corporeal and spirit world. This sort of happened with Lara Croft and Guardian of Light. The game can be played alone or co-op with a friend. In co-op, player 2 controls an ancient warrior who teams up with Lara to stop the bad guy. There's a DLC you can buy for the game where you can play as Raziel and Kain instead, complete with a new story and voiced lines. Your idea is definitely better, though. The game also had a free DLC where you play as Kane and Lynch. It was pretty funny: Lara and the warrior defeated the bad guy and locked him in his magic prison, then moments after they left the temple Kan & Lynch arrived and accidentally released him again. Also remember there was a Kane & Lynch movie planned where Bruce Willis and Jamie Foxx plays the main characters? Rough Lobster posted:True Grit's great. Jeff Bridges gives a really fun performance in it, and the actress who plays the girl is really good in the role. I love the look on her face when blows away the dude who killed her dad at the end. Just pure glee. The girl is Hailee Steinfeld, who was in Edge of Seventeen and also this upcoming movie this year:  Lately she's been more known for her music, though, especially after her song about jerking off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMpFmHSgC4Q

Detective No. 27 posted:Video game budgets are as expensive as movies now. The low effort video game adaptation of yesterday is now the microtransaction laden F2P game of today. Probably much more profitable too. Every once in a while you do get a Mad Max, but I heard that was actually in development long before they even started production on Fury Road. A reminder that King, the company that made Candy Crush, was bought by Activision for more than what Disney paid to buy Lucasfilm.

This really does prove that if your movie is popular enough, you don’t need China to be succesful. Deadpool and Suicide Squad were two other movies that made a lot of money despite not being released there.

On the flipside of the China box office thing, Wolf Warriors 2 is a Chinese movie that came out in the middle of 2017 and grossed over 870 million worldwide, of which only 2.7 million was from the US. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkqGiPB2D8M Frank Grillo is the villain. Since he was in the Michael Bay-produced The Purge movies, I think there's good chance he's going to be starring in a Transformers movie soon to recapture that Chinese box office. WENTZ WAGON NUI posted:Yeah considering it's (still) 20th C. Fox, if the changes the studio wants aren't pants-on-head retarded I'll be pleasantly surprised. Supposedly the movie tested good but not good enough, and when Fox saw Get Out and It they wanted the movie to be scarier.
