re: Disney tacitly admits it made a multi-billion dollar mistake with 'Star Wars' land

The article doesn’t mention the $2500 a night Star Wars hotel that no one went to. Disney lost their arse off on that.
The editorial isn't interested in financial analysis. It's the typical beating of a dead Kennedy. Makes sense, as that's what the people here eat up. Won't stop, can't stop, it seems.

I could see this catching on too
What it doesn't have from Barbenheimer is the counter-programming. People made an event of seeing both, but the individual movies appealed to two distinct audience bases.
Dune and Doomsday will likely be very different in tone and quality, but they appeal to the same base demographics.

What if Jason Momoa didn't have to appear in every single comic book and video game adaptation?
He's becoming the Microsoft Copilot of the genre space.

re: Why movie theaters are failing. Yes, Hollywood is making mostly trash, but that's not all.

Finally went to your first movie. Good for you.

Hollywood talking is why I might watch One Battle After Another, while looking at my phone on Max instead of seeing it in theaters.
Hollywood being chill and shutting up is why I went and saw Mercy, Ready or Not 2, and Project Hail Mary in theaters
What did Leo or Chase Infinity or Benicio or Sean Penn or Regina Hall say about politics in the lead up to One Battle's release that kept you from seeing it in theaters? Only one of them is publicly politically active, but he pretty famously doesn't give interviews about it. Youtubers and posters here making complaintsabout the politics in the film they hadn't yet seen is not actors talking about politics. Did Penn's post in Ukraine the day after the Oscars keep you from going to see it in theaters, 4 months after it was out of theaters?
And, again, you guys are defending the rant of a screenwriter who uses Bruce Springsteen as a prominent example of an "actor" who won't shut up about politics.
This was a rant designed to be aggregated and then passed around mindlessly to people who agree with the sentiment that actors should stop talking in the interviews they're forced by the studios to participate in. Good job. You guys agree with the sentiment, which means that the actual content and context of the rant don't matter to you, regardless of how idiotic it is.
If the studios were refusing to green light movies because actors keep giving answers to the questions they are asked in interviews, which is what this dude is alleging, the studios would stop forcing them to participate in interviews.
Every time non-acting musician Bruce Springsteen says something political, a studio refuses to fund a movie?
Actors should shut up about politics? Cool. Actors talking is the reason you can't get a movie made? GTFO.

Sometimes I might have to wait 3 days or so, but I can rest easy knowing this particular erotic fantasy of a hunky, absolute shite actor will present itself, regardless of topic relevance, on the M/TV.

Your only theater memory is of a kid doing his job so that he doesn't get fired on account of your entitled arse?

The Apatow/Goldberg/McKay era of mid-budget comedy films
These were big budget comedies, which was a big part of the issue.
Comedies were getting more and more expensive, and, as a genre, never had the worthwhile return overseas, which studios decided was a top priority. The lack of comedies cannot be blamed on Apatow and McKay, but I do wonder if we'd still have more of them if top comedy producers like these two would have reigned in their budgets and still found produced similar profits.

The odd one out.
Both Caught Stealing and The Bike Riders were marketed on his back, and both failed to bring audiences in.
The only other movies he's done since Elvis are Eddington and Dune 2, and he had nothing to do with failures or successes of those films.
