Thor: Love and Thunder changed that for me though and since then have not put much money towards superhero movies and TV as I no longer have any trust in them to deliver anything of quality. I have also been correct to not do so! If friends ask me I would go see Deadpool 3. Dune 2 first, then Deadpool 3.

Dr. Balls Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 On 2/19/2024 at 3:23 PM, MAR1979 said: Per THR, Madame Web has kicked off with one of the worst ever opening weekends for a new film based on Marvel Comics characters. Ahead of the release, it was looking clear that the film was in trouble, as advance ticket sales were not very strong. Reportedly, an insider for an unnamed major theatrical chain spoke about how many of the advance ticket sales could actually be seen dwindling in real time as film goers were requesting refunds as late as Wednesday, the midweek opening day for Madame Web. You can get a refund on a movie ticket?!? I kind of figured that was a gamble, like buying fresh fruit or donating to Salvation Army Santa Claus.

justafan Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) Saw it tonight in a completely empty theater. Like I had the whole theater to myself. It wasn’t as bad as it was made out to be. I actually enjoyed it but had my expectations low. However I don't think the direction setting up for Spoiler spider-women had legs.

Axelrod Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I'm sure everyone has eagerly been waiting for my reaction to this movie. Here it is: I fell asleep during the final climactic fight sequence. szucchini, media_junkie and Ken Aldred 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzetta Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) I just made my first edit on Wikipedia in over ten years. Scroll down to the plot and you will see exactly which Tribal Chief they are referring to. I just think I made the movie more interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madame_Web_(film) Edited February 23 by Buzzetta media_junkie and onlyweaknesskryptonite 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is, potentially anyway, some quality on the horizon this year, for a change. Two nicely-contrasting choices there, tonally speaking.

Ken Aldred Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I just watched Jessica Jones Season 1. Great series, and noticed that the film's director also did its first episode. Not bad at all, but quite different to doing a big budget, CGI-heavy super-hero film, and an unsuccessful transition, in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paperheart Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 still think they would've had a better shot if Madame Web was an actual madame and the three damsels in distress were ladies of the evening the Spider-Man clairvoyant is showing a -67% second frame drop (which is bad though not as atrocious as Marvels -78% second weekend freefall) with $5M in 4th place at 4,013 theaters. She’ll stand at $34.4M by Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
