The Movie Thread

Reminds me of Alien Isolation, which is probably the best thing the franchise has produced since Aliens. Will definitely see that in cinema

Saw Dune 2 and upon reflection I really enjoyed it. Think they managed to do a good job fitting the plot into two movies and in more cynical times they def would have stretched it to three. Glad they committed to the trippy weirdness of it all. Not sure they need a third movie to be honest, although they maybe could have driven the 'Jihad' aspect a bit more! Austin Butler really gives his roles full socks, he sounded uncannily like Stellan Skarsgard.
 
Just watched the Talented Mr Ripley. TBH I thought it was rubbish and directionless, I don't understand why it has such good reviews.

Force awakens, last jedi, Rise, Rogue One, Solo, Indiana Jones and Willow. Then you have all the star wars TV shows etc.

There has been no Willow film but your right about Indy.

The TV shows won't be calculated in the box office calculations. Which is actually why the numbers are crap to work out if Disney has made thier investment back. Because you have to try to work out how many Disney+ subscribers they'd have less without Lucasfilm

The willow film was released on Disney+ and then removed due to lack of interest/poor ratings (I guess). But yeah, Disney + does muddle the numbers. Still, feels like it should have done more by now.

"As revealed, the methodology is questionable as Disney based the ROI on the revenue generated by the movies, merchandise, DVDs and Blu Rays rather than the profit they made as it should have done. Using the revenue rather than the profit artificially inflates the result as it doesn't factor in the costs that Disney had to pay out.

Even this wasn't enough for the media giant so it also forecast the revenue that it expected the Star Wars movies, merchandise, DVDs and Blu Rays to generate over a ten-year period and based the calculation on that too. In other words, Disney hasn't actually received the revenue that it used to calculate the return on its investment."

But even then it's some simple math take usual double budget to account for marketing

TFA 2 billion - 700 million
TLJ 1.3 billions - 600 million
ROS 1 billion - 800 million
R1 1 billion - 400 million
SOLO - 400 million - 600 million
INDY 384 million - 800 million

1.3 + 0.7 + 0.2 + 0.6 - 0.2 - 0.4
= 2.2 billion

So its clear they've not made ROI.

Not making a film 5 years apart from Indy but also misteps in just doing Indy or a Han Solo film without a story doesn't help. (I didn't mind Indy but also didn't see the point and was not a cinema watch).

Also real factor here is way way over budgeting the films expecting massive ROI like TFA.

Why? Apart from Rogue one everything else Disney did with Star Wars was a bag of spanners

Movie wise certainly, I think some of the series have been decent. The Mandalorian was good although got worse towards the end and I found the bad batch to be good (I liked the old Clone wars series too). I've also enjoyed Endor.
