Boy!

That'd sure be fuckin' nice! But, guess it's easier to tell US to shut up than them, huh?

Another notable thing: it’s looking like this will be the first year in 13 years Marvel doesn’t have a movie in the top 10. Superman meanwhile, with a wildly different take and tone on superhero movies, did surprisingly better. -Repetition- fatigue is real.

Most profitable movies of 2025 so far look like Sinners, Weapons, Materialists, & Minecraft. Nearly all them were not expected slam dunk hits with huge marketing campaigns. In case of Sinners, there was a weird insider whisper campaign to torpedo it before release! www.vulture.com/article/is-s...

Look at this in an article on biggest fumble of 2025, Sony licensing K-pop Demon Hunters wholesale to Netflix, which could’ve been a giant lifeline to theaters and Sony and despite insane demand for it, won’t because of Netflix’s current strategy to end theatrical. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Right now there’s a lot of articles about how 2025 US total box office so far proves movies are in decline. It’s mostly bullshit. The real story of 2025 is original movies audiences want to see are doing individually far better than anyone expected, and studios seem to not know, or what people want…
Aaron Stewart-Ahn (@badideas.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
The key takeaway is Netflix’s bragged about algorithm that spies on every click you make gives them more data about audiences than ever existed in cinema history. But it has not led to their biggest hits. K-pop DH was made fully separate from Netflix & has crushed their $320 million Electric State.

He provided chat logs to "prove" Lindsay was cool with the To Boldly Flee rape scene. He found out I cried in his studio bathroom and his reaction was to side with Michaud, who cornered me alone. All due respect, Doug can fuck himself.
