Taylor Gray5 said:And look, getting back to the start of this whole saga—all that stuff you keep copy-pasting still doesn't support your original point. You said the movie sucks just because it hit streaming so fast, but like I already said, those two things aren't connected at all...
Avatar 2 Release date December 16, 2022
Hit streaming March 28, 2023
65 Release date March 10, 2023
Hit streaming April 7, 2023
One came out three and a half months later, the other after just a month. And you're telling me that has nothing to do with box office success? Yeah, right... please.

Quote: Ultimately, Dergarabedian noted that how long a film stays in theaters shouldn't be set in stone anymore—it’s a moving target.
“If a movie isn’t hitting its revenue targets after a couple of weeks, moving it to streaming just makes sense. But if it’s still absolutely crushing it at the box office? Let it run,” he mentioned. “At the end of the day, the market decides what happens to most movies.”
Here's the link—might have even made it up myself...🤦

Taylor Gray5 said:When a movie hits streaming depends on a few things—sometimes it's about how well it did in theaters, other times it's just down to pre-existing contracts. Nowadays, there's usually a standard window where you can expect a film to show up on streaming about 30 to 45 days after its theatrical debut.
The actual quality of the movie doesn't play a role in that timing at all.
Actually, it definitely matters. Their whole goal is to squeeze every cent possible out of the box office before they let it hit streaming services, where the margins are thinner...
Patience means profit
Additionally, the movies that have gone to video on demand or plan to were low- to mid-tier budget films that weren’t forecast for a massive box office.
“We haven’t seen a movie go to streaming that was expected to be a blockbuster,” Shawn Robbins, chief analyst at BoxOffice.com, said.
Take Trolls World Tour, for example. The film has an estimated budget of $90 million to $110 million. The first Trolls film had $344 million in global ticket sales — around $150 million of which was garnered domestically — and, typically, animated sequels do not do as well as the first film. (Obviously, there are exceptions: Frozen II made more than Frozen.)
For comparison, Black Widow likely cost $150 million to $200 million to produce, and it could haul in anywhere from $750 million to more than $1 billion at the global box office. Then it would go on to make more once it was available on home video and on demand. So, pushing it straight to home video would mean Disney would make less money.

Makes sense—his peak was pretty short-lived anyway since the movie wasn't even that great...

Well, duh. But why did it hit streaming so fast?
Anyway, I watched it once—actually, I passed out halfway through... the movie is basically half The Road and half Jurassic Park.
Seriously though, if you haven't seen The Road, you should probably watch that instead of this one.

It hit the torrents pretty fast, so it’s clearly not nothing—but I guess I'll give it a shot anyway...

hiddenorca6 said:So, I finally sat down to watch that movie, and honestly? I wasn't feeling it at all. I mean, seriously, that actress could probably land a role playing a hammerhead shark in a sci-fi flick—her eyes are just spaced so far apart. Total waste of time, if you ask me...
She's one of the better actresses working in America right now.

So I was grabbing a meal at Checkers and a Coke the other night, and while I was just sitting there enjoying my food, I started thinking about 😁

I'd just get out of there... 🙂
I've always been a fan of cheeseburgers—even before this movie came out—but now? Now I'm obsessed 😁 (honestly, it's the only thing I get at McDonald's)

First off, they shouldn't have eaten anything at all—that's what he said, and the lead actress clearly took that to heart.

I mean... honestly? I'm just over it. Everything feels so incredibly meh lately. kaže:
Gave up after only 20 minutes...😁 That acting... those mindless dialogues... and those blank stares...🤦 I guess I've just outgrown this...☕
I’m honestly finding myself skipping more and more new releases lately—just sticking to the classics instead... they just hit different.😉
This is honestly such a great movie—it really holds its own right alongside all those Marvel blockbusters and Avatar: The Last Airbender episodes...

Patrick Martin said:My hands were sweating too—it's this weird, claustrophobic vibe, like when you're scaling some tiny, treacherous ledge way too high up. I kept staring at that tower wondering how the hell it stays upright; between those cables and all that tension, the whole thing just feels sketchy as hell.
Honestly, I don't get people who throw themselves into stuff like this. It's pure madness. They might as well just donate their organs to someone who actually needs them right now.
The directing is solid, and they really nailed the atmosphere. Predictable? Yeah, totally. And honestly, the more the plot drifted, the more I found myself thinking the brunette definitely had better curves than the blonde—legs included.
2.6🙂2.4
I don't know about that. When the brunette realized the blonde wasn't actually with her—that she was dead—I didn't see that coming at all.
The only thing was knowing who would make it out alive at the end. Though even that wasn't a total certainty...

Solid movie. It definitely keeps you hooked.👍
