Strangers Chapter 1- Very competently shot and very good at building tension. It's just kind of meh and underwhelming.

Oh, look: Another Samara Weaving/Margot Robbie/Jamie Pressly clone. Like we needed more weird looking white women with blonde hair and obnoxiously red lipstick. Woohoo.Anya taylor joy is great
Uhh, might I venture a guess that Heath Ledger actually was not the first to do that, and instead it was Johnny Depp as Capt Jack Sparrow?wasn't convinced by Hemsworth, he's over acting on screen and actors should stop trying to act like Heath ledger in Dark knight. It was so intense and immersive back in the day that every performance that tries to match it falls flat compared to it.
This may be the most lukewarm take ever, but studios really need a new metric to measure a movie's success in the digital streaming age, especially when almost every theatrical release comes out on a streaming platform weeks after the theatrical release. Aside from Furiosa and Dune 2 there were no other movies in recent memory that I thought "fuck yeah, I gotta go see that at the theatre." The "theatre experience" is, frankly, kinda shit and overpriced, and if all I need to do is wait a month to watch it in the comfort of my own home then I'll almost always go that route. It would be a damn shame if they killed off the Mad Max franchise because of box office sales. Same goes for Blade Runner 2049.Seeing the week end box office, not sure if we'll have a 5th movie....we'll never go back to the pre covid numbers I guess...
It has been years since I have seen a movie in theaters. "Sorry, movie has started. We won't sell any concessions." Yeah, fuck you.This may be the most lukewarm take ever, but studios really need a new metric to measure a movie's success in the digital streaming age, especially when almost every theatrical release comes out on a streaming platform weeks after the theatrical release.

Anya Taylor Joy was in some good movies.... The Witch, Split, The Menu all come to mind. The Witch is just a fantastic atmospheric movie in general.
Well, there are a lot of new factors... the way people see movies, theaters are expensive, especially when you go with 2 adults and 2 kids in general, TV are bigger, better resolution that ever was, blu ray (physical media is counting his days I guess) are still cheaper but if you can get your movie 2/3 weeks after release if the movie fails or even 2 months if it works well, it's no big deal to ait and watch it at home...This may be the most lukewarm take ever, but studios really need a new metric to measure a movie's success in the digital streaming age, especially when almost every theatrical release comes out on a streaming platform weeks after the theatrical release.

Depends where you live. My local theater is like 5-10$ depending on the day, but a lot of places charge 15-20$ a person.Well, there are a lot of new factors... the way people see movies, theaters are expensive, especially when you go with 2 adults and 2 kids in general, TV are bigger, better resolution that ever was, blu ray (physical media is counting his days I guess) are still cheaper but if you can get your movie 2/3 weeks after release if the movie fails or even 2 months if it works well, it's no big deal to ait and watch it at home...
Streaming services have changed the game too, quality products , shorter running time, watchable whenever you want, 40 minutes is perfect at night between kids and chores, and kids don't care about 2h30 movies in which somtimes 30 mn are useless...
Some guys were saying they should go back to the old 10 month/1Yr delay between theater and home media release, make the tickets cheaper in theaters....maybe stop doing sequels /prequels/remake too, and try to find new grounds in movie.... I don't know but nowadays making a hit with more than 200 millions at the box office will be tough....Stuff like Avatar or Dune will bring people in because they're made for the big screens but smaller releases....
By the way how much are your movie tickets in the US ?
Cheapest tickets for the theatre here are about C$13, but Imax jumps up to C$21.Well, there are a lot of new factors... the way people see movies, theaters are expensive, especially when you go with 2 adults and 2 kids in general, TV are bigger, better resolution that ever was, blu ray (physical media is counting his days I guess) are still cheaper but if you can get your movie 2/3 weeks after release if the movie fails or even 2 months if it works well, it's no big deal to ait and watch it at home...

Yeah, I knew this was going to bomb. Fury Road didn't even break even till home video I don't think - it's shocking they even bankrolled a sequel. And this is a prequel mainly marketed as "Furiosa," which I doubt is a name anyone other than extreme Fury Road fanboys like me even remembered after 8 years. It was always going to have a smaller audience, even excepting the insane decline in amount of people going to the theater in this country. And they gave it a much higher budget!!Apparently Furiosa barely cracked 31million$ domestically on a budget of like 160mil.
Garfield did basically the same amount on a 60 million budget lol
