It’s because it’s garbage. Poorly written and poorly shot.

By other factors, I mean:

Character being largely unknown
Post pandemic cinema activity
Lack of marketing and promotional push
DC/Superhero movie fatigue
Recession

And what percentage do you allocate to each of those?

Thanks. That's as important as box office numbers

Indeed, I particularly enjoy hearing people talk about the quality of movies they haven't seen. It's what makes this thread so compelling.

Much like how you've yet to see BP2 but feel compelled to say:

"I haven't seen Wakanda Forever yet but from everything I've seen and heard about it I doubt I'll enjoy it as much as Black Adam"

Shots fired

So... has anyone but whodunnit and I watched the Limitless program with Hemsworth?

I only saw the movie, which I enjoyed at the time.

Did anyone watch the movie Jumper, from the 2000s, starring Hayden Christenson? I thought it was a great watch and a TV show would have been a perfect extension.

Based on what I have read,seen and heard, BA's box office failings are mainly due to the quality of the movie and DC's reputation. Possibly in the following proportions:

DC's current rep:30%
Quality of the movie: 50%
Other factors: 20%
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Even though the general audience rating on all mainstream review sites to this point are at very worst respectable and at best highly positive for this movie.

It's worst rating is a 6.8/10 on IMDb. Metacritic general audience review gives it 7.3/10 and Google reviews give it an average 8.8/10 general audience score.

So you'll have to show me where you're seeing all these poor general audience reviews you keep alluding to for this movie because I've yet to see them anywhere.

Still trying to work out if this is serious or not!

Jumpers was nice at the time. It's easy to expand on even now and will probably work better with a grittier tone tbh

Anything to the rumour doing the rounds that Disney are contemplating selling to Apple?!

How much is Disney worth?
Over 100 Billion at least...

"Apple's rumored Disney acquisition is 'pure speculation' says Bob Iger"

yeah, when I was young I used to get the videos from Global and then use my two combi tvs to record them all so I tended to watch pretty much everything as my cousin worked in global. So I ended up watching a stupid amount of films a tupid amount of times.

Good when I was younger , hasnt dated very well however and its certainly not as good when you watch it now.

Well he has to say that, if the share price of Disney goes up, and then turns out there is something to it, they could be accused of fraud.
And if they are to sell, then for sure you bring back Iger, the man behind the Marvel deal, Pixar, Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox.

And it was Steve Jobs that told Iger to make an offer to Lucas, as he had a hunch he’d be willing to sell.
That was 10 years ago... I wonder if at that dinner between the two men, there was another handshake under the table, so to speak.

Any truth to the rumour that Anya Taylor-Joy is playing Black Cat?

Hope so, the woke direction that Disney are going and the significant drop in quality of phase 4 is a clear sign that big change is needed in that company.
