Me neither honestly. They all seem rushed somehow. Not really up to his other stuff (like that Venom posted a few ticks up, that thing is off the hook). -J.

RISE!!! With the news of the prestige Sandman show hitting Netflix, it is high time to bring this thread back. And wow, prices of these books have certainly immediately skyrocketed since the news dropped. 'Bout damn time prices of this book better reflected its top of the line quality. Everybody still have their copies, right ? -J.

It's a rabbit hole definitely worth a visit. -J.

Hulk 1 or TOS 39 which to buy?
Jaydogrules replied to Bluemedgroup's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
I would go for lower grades and get both. -J. -
The colours are blinding! -J.

Looks like OA to me ! Sweet pick up ! -J.

Venom 2 - "There's Gonna Be Carnage" (10/2/20?)
Jaydogrules replied to Jaydogrules's topic in The Movie Forum
Glad to see that Feige is now publicly open to it. Tom Hardy is signed for three films. It is probably safe to assume the third one will feature a Spider-man crossover. -J. -
So Which SA Mega Key Will Surge This Year?
Jaydogrules replied to Jaydogrules's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
Agreed. But much like Avengers 4, I don't know if I consider FF 4 to be a "mega key". FF 5 definitely more so, and it has indeed done well this year too in most grades. -J. -
Nice pick ups ! How long did it take to get them back from the facilitator? -J.

Outstanding. Great additions! -J.

The longer this thread goes the more I realize I probably should have clarified what a "mega key" is in the first post. -J. -
X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX directed by Simon Kinberg (11/2/18)
Jaydogrules replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
"Eyed to direct". "In talks". Nothing final about any of that. And Black Adam has been "in development" for ten years lol. You think they're going to suddenly fast track it now after the first movie flamed out so spectacularly? Mm-kay. -J.- 1,322 replies

Jaydogrules replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
Venom cost less than half what Aquaman did, and made $300MM less, but still only netted about about $15MM less than Aquaman. So I'm not sure what your point is supposed to be here. -J.- 1,322 replies

X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX directed by Simon Kinberg (11/2/18)
Jaydogrules replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
Eh. Contrary to what some outlets have posted, there were only "talks" of that guy directing the long talked about Black Adam movie. Nothing in stone, and last I checked WB had not announced any release dates or had even officially greenlit a Black Adam movie. As I stated in another thread, leaking information like that is mostly just fodder for eager fanboys, and propaganda for the movie in advance of its home video release, with hopes to stoke interest in that ancillary market that it will hope to at least break even in. Plans change quickly when movies underperform and/or flop at studios (see, eg, ASM 2). -J.- 1,322 replies

Jaydogrules replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
This I do not agree with. Shazam in fact lost a sizable amount of money theatrically, and would have to do gang busters to even break even post-theatrically. With the recent failures of it, hellboy, Dark Phoenix (and to a somewhat less extent, Spider-verse) studios not named Disney will have to pick and choose projects they greenlight, since we now see that hero movies are in fact not bullet proof at the box office. And colour me shocked if WB ever actually does move forward in earnest on anything theatrically on anything having to do with Shazam. Believing that WB is seriously moving forward on its biggest box office bust (in terms of worldwide box office) with not one but multiple sequels, lol, is just more clapping at the sky IMO. -J.- 1,322 replies

I agree with pretty much everything you said here. Case by case basis- which is why I will occasionally do a very cursory and basic box office breakdown of an individual movie. -J.- 1,322 replies

Don't know, don't care. Some people would rather clap at the sky with fanboy enthusiasm than look at the actual numbers of comparable movies. -J.- 1,322 replies

Jaydogrules replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
True Venom is in obvious outlier. I use it to show that, even an as an extreme outlier, the "profit" to studio as a seemingly and relatively modest $250MM, (as compared to only its production budget of $100MM) even after ancillaries, seriously undercuts the notion that films like shazam and Spider-verse will be credible money makers, even with ancillaries, when they have made near or less than hero movies that came out 10+ years ago, before either the advent of China, or the bar being raised globally for how much money these hero movies could make (irrespective of their relative budgets). -J.- 1,322 replies

Jaydogrules replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
Once again, I am using Venom as a comp because *it is the most recent, and similarly budgeted and released film*. With an 8.5× of production budget only multiplier, that film only netted the studio about $250MM *after worldwide ancillaries are factored in*. But even using the incomplete chart you posted, both shazam anand spider-verse pulled in spectacularly pathetic worldwide grosses, irrespective of budgets, save for two early MCU movies that came out nearly or more than *ten years ago*, neither of which had any real China (and Shazam only beat out ONE of those two movies, WITH china as the #2 market). -J.- 1,322 replies
