Poor Matt Reeves it's a quality movie, let down a bit by plot contrivances, but still very good. And obviously a ton of work went into it.
Ah well, his talent isn't in question.

He got a bit thrown under the bus with the marketing and release date tbh. A mid or late August release date would have been better imo.

He's in a good position. He managed to close off his trilogy and secure his next gig on Batman.
Now, what's in question is if Fox wants to make a fourth modern Apes movie. And to be honest, unless they bring in another phenomenal director, I'm happy with them leaving it be for a few years.

Can we have this guy on screen instead?
My thoughts exactly. Reading this makes you think he is the coolest actor ever.

He always was. It's not the guys fault they fed him this Superman.
Cavill: What's my direction?
Snyder: You are Superman. You are struggling with godhood, and have the weight of the entire world on your shoulders. You have never had a happy day in your life.
Valerian's budget is now listed as $177.2m on Mojo.
He'll be that guy in JL and everything after in the DCEU....until they use Flashpoint to springboard into Injustice. DICTATOR SUPERMAN!

Kswis is probably right. You might not like Snyder's vision but he is not that of an idiot, come on.

Henry Cavill's Superman is the worst film depiction of Superman despite aesthetically looking the best as Superman.

If I had to market a sci fi western, a genre that almost never results in any kind of popularity whatsoever, I'd probably focus on the connected universe full of fans as well. Seems like good marketing to me.

I don't think anything Sony has done regarding Dark Tower has been particularly good marketing
A 4D screen has opened where I live, and apparently Dunkirk is one of the 3 movies being shown in it.
I was entertaining the idea of watching it like that, despite the ticket price being 3 times over a regular one. Should I?
(mind that there are no IMAX of any kind here

Dark Tower looks pretty bad. I'd be shocked if it was over 55%ish on RT.
That "bullets in your world?" "You're gonna looooove Earth" exchange in every single trailer. Its awful.
But hey, two talented leads. Maybe they'll make something of it.

How would Box Office Mojo know? We'll never know the true number but if I had to trust anyone it would be a trade like Deadline.
Your chair moves and they throw shit at your face like water and smoke. It's a fucking nightmare.
They should take it next level and have someone fire a real gun next to your ears synced with the movie. Just to make sure you actually get permanent ear damage for real. Oh and have someone throw sand in your face.

Dunkirk in 4D sounds terrible
Popcorn for $1. Is this from like 1930?
They changed it pretty recently, so I wonder if they got new info.
Poor Spider-Man?

Besson still has some pull in France apparently. Valerian's opening is much better than I expected, only slightly below the Fifth Element so far. The reviews are okay, most seem to be relatively positive, which is extremely rare for Besson around here.
Second best opening of the year in Paris, between Despicable Me 3 and La La Land. Allociné is projecting 3 million tickets sold when all is said and done, which is more than most superhero movies usually do. Still not gonna be nearly enough for this film to be profitable though. Time for Le Dernier Combat 2.

People really start to believe the perception whether true or not. Spidey is gnna end up with 300 mil domestic and over 700 mil worldwide yet it's negative.
They're going to replace Holland with a sentient version of Henry Cavill's moustache

That stupid article has penetrated pretty deeply for who the fuck knows what reason.
A producer my girlfriend works with was spouting it off as part of some bizarre rant-ish thing regarding all the big studios the other day.
The guy's a bit... out there.

Hold up, what's with the poor Spider-man talk?
It will end up $100 million over the last movie at the pace it's going and apparently costing less than the last two films.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills if that is poor.

That's one really strange statistic you decided to pick. I bet a few people are gonna think Baby Driver outgrossed TF5.

Spider-Man is a failure because it couldn't even beat Wonder Woman.

This stupid Forbes contributor article.
Spread like wildfire. Everyone's convinced its performance is disastrous.
Well, that and the kind of people that expected it to do well over a billion.
Its final total will be below a lot of expectations, sure, but it's the cheapest ever Spidey film and will out-gross the last two after three straight films of declining grosses, so it's still in a great place. Especially given that every MCU sequel has seen growth over the prior film (Ultron aside, although there's an asterisk on that).

People thought Spider-Man was way bigger than Wonder Woman and cognitive dissonance is leading to hyperbole.
It's a bomb

I mean, he is. That doesn't mean anyone should have expected $400m dom or legs anywhere near WW's from this film though.
So when a film makes roughly $800M, beats the previous two entries in the franchise and is critically acclaimed, we call it "poor"? Not sure I follow.
I am not responsible for reading comprehension!
You are wrong

He was*, he isn't anymore. Times change. Wonder Woman and characters like Black Panther, etc. That were unknown or marginalized before are the new blood now.
We are in a media world where Wonder Woman is without a doubt a bigger ticket and name than Superman. Times change.
Homecoming had Disney, Marvel and RDJ behind it along with the biggest marketing campaign for any movie this summer. And it still couldn't beat that awful Tobey Maguire movie from 15 years ago.
