July 4 weekend is historically one of the biggest weekends for movie releases. People can do two things in a weekend.😄

And the economy isn't booming for the common folks, just for the broligarchy.

People are finally sick of these little yellow fuckers. Good.

We are ready for real: Crackens, Chupacobras, Sasquatch, Angels, other unknown creatures, from near and far places ...

Going to the movies is a luxury. Perhaps now more than ever, a film's box office performance has little to do with its quality or worth. I'm not a fan of these movies, but I do hate this "Ha ha, that movie sucks because it didn't make enough money" mentality many people seem to have these days.

Agreed. IMO they shouldn't have released all these movies so dang close together; I can barely earn my next paycheck by the time the next one's out. I think this is the real reason why box office performances are suffering right now more than anything else, Supergirl included.

Been a supergirl fan for a long time, didn’t even wind up going to see this one. It’s like every new piece of pop media is the same thing, everyone reacts exactly the same way, regardless of what happens. Like a treadmill.

I'm sick of seeing the producers wring every last nickel out of something until it's reviled by its former fan base.

My question is: what level of maturity would pay money to watch that?

I got no money for that

Credit card debt is way up, people are struggling to pay their bills, expenses, healthcare, etc. If anything, releasing a movie on July 4th weekend is probably the worst time to release a movie this summer.

But the C suites aren’t, so they don’t get it. “Why don’t they eat cake?” they ask incredulously.

☹️

They made $16B according to box office mojo

Zero originality from Hollywood. All they can pump out is Toy Story 16, animated Titanic, live-action Steamboat Willie...

That's 36 million dollars too much. Stop making the jews rich.

The last movie we saw was Thor/Ragnarok and that was nine years ago.

I’ve never seen an industry so clearly on a collision-course with complete collapse, tbh

The last movie I went to a theater to see was "Knives Out" at Christmas week/2019.

36.4 million is about how much it costs to take the family to the theater and buy snacks. If you include gas to get there it is even more expensive. Grabbing a bite with the family before or after is even more. It's not the movie, it's that most people are broke as hells.

Tax the rich!

No, people just are overexposed to Minions.

No Kevin, Bob and Stuart no watch

It's the cost. Money's tight for us all, but worse for parents with young kids.

That shit is annoying, even to kids.

Linda of big weekend with other stuff going on

FINALLY

Trumps America is #Unaffordable

The constant conglomerate advertising on every dam platform made us all sick of it before it actually got released.

If there was honest accounting in movies, this would be well on the way to making a profit. Unfortunately movie accounting is a corrupt practice that makes it impossible for all but a few freak occurrences to show profit on paper. The studio system lies.

They're struggling against the fact that the Minions are just... they're the worst. That's a weighty albatross.

I think big budget movies wont be able to gather much profit anytime soon, because "in this economy", thanks to profit hunting corpo monopolies sucking up all the money with grifts and corrupt governments that assist in it. Especially the US People just can't afford as much as 7-8 years ago.

We went. Laughed the whole time. Will go again.

At some point, the amount of nonsense produced by the entertainment industry these days should also be too much and too stupid for the American consumer.

If we’re talking about the franchise as a series, yes. Jump the Shark cause #3: Main character leaves the series, leaving the producers to reboot the new spinoff of supporting characters, pretty much destroying the original concept.

TBF, it jumped the shark w/the first sequel to DESPICABLE ME.

Like the air, when supersaturated. It rains on your parade.

Wat

???

Pay up or stand up.

I'm going say this forever the minions are only funny in small doses in the actual, Despicable me movies. Making them the focus was a good idea for parents who just want to distract their kids but not for having an actually good movie.

oh dear

I'm waiting for Trump and MAGA to accuse Minions of being "woke".
