For the last few years franchise movies like star wars, marvel, etc. made money regardless of quality. However now it seems like audiences are being choosier when it comes to these kinds of tentpole releases. I’ve seen some people online say that the movie/theater industry is losing people in general but I don’t think that’s the case.
Super Mario and spiderverse made a lot of money. And Oppenheimer, Barbie, and Dune seem to be tracking well. I think the problem is that people are getting sick of the same old stuff and need more than just a brand name to go to the theater. What do you you think?
Just watched it and it’s okay. If you watch it, view it in the lens of an Indiana Jones movie with all of its quirks and silliness. Ford is definitely older and slower, but they try to use movie magic to make it seem he’s still spry. Overall, it’s an entertaining movie but I can see how it didn’t fair well in the box office.
