DC comic movies have been floping as well. What is going on is comic book movie fatigue. Only the fun and unique stuff is going to be making money like the last Guardians of the Galaxy movie or the upcoming Deadpool movie. Or at least until you bring out some big names. One does not have to be a rocket scientist to figure out a Spiderman movie without Spiderman starring a actor who has still not lived down her "Shades of Grey" past would not do well at the box office.
 
I don't really see how this could have anything to do with Marvel fatigue, since it's not really a "Marvel" as in MCU, movie.
Regular people don't know the difference.

They are expecting Toby McGuire to make a cameo in full costume.

If you can show me that any of these have been any good I might accept your premise. I even went to go see Black Adam as well as the second Shazam.
 
But both of those movies also flopped at the move theater. I saw Black Adam on tv and I liked it but it still has to be counted as a failure. The one that hit hard though was the James Gunn Suicide Squad movie. I LOVED that movie and it flopped so, so bad. It was kind of depressing seeing such a great movie not get the love it deserved.

You know that there was like 20 seconds of BDSM in Shades of Grey?

There may have been more BDSM in TNG Shades of Grey.

A little blonde princess sits down for 10 minutes negotiating a highly descriptive contract about what violent things that massive man want's to do to her snow white body, but after all that, like a fucking princess, says "No, can't we just snuggle on the couch and watch Romcoms on Hallmark?"

(The) Suicide Squad is hard to judge given the simultaneous home release during the pandemic.
 
I know but I think at this point the Godzilla vs King Kong movie had already came out and made money so I am thinking that even though the idea of it being a big blockbuster like in the past might be unreasonable it was still expected to make more money than it did.
 
I just got back from the film and I mostly liked it. I had some quibbles but it wasn't as bad as I expected.

That being said, Sony desperately needs someone to fill the Kevin Feige role.
 
They don't really got a franchise though on par with Marvel. They got Spiderman and that is it. Well Venom but lets face it. Venom only worked because of Tom Hardy's fun acting in the role. He alone made those movies fun to watch.
 
The Sony Spider-verse live action character films have been a disaster across the board from the start. I think Venom was their most successful film and even it do all that well.

Everything else live has just been an unmitigated disaster.

The only thing they found success with was the Miles Morales Spider-Verse animated films.:shrug:
 
They would likely have more success spinning off some of their characters from Spider-Verse films. I know I would be all in on a Spider-Gwen movie or NIck Cages old time detective style Spiderman from the first movie. That would be for sure a unique take for the character.
 
Was the last line supposed to be sarcastic, or was Johnson supposed to nod, wink or smile, and didn't?

"What ever the future holds, we'll be ready, and you know the best thing about the future, it hasn't happened yet."

If that line is "straight" whosoever wrote it, had not read the rest of the script, or had not understood a ####ing word of it.

I was working in a comic shop during the turn-of-the-century, and a sales man repping a local distribution house tried to get me to buy 60 copies of Plan 9 from Outer Space on DVD, because nerds were his last hope to unload this garbage.

I kept saying "Nope, whatelse have you got?" but he circled back to plan 9 three times.
 
You know a good movie night could be a double feature watching Plan 9 From Outer Space and then follow that up with Ed Wood.
