You and Disney did this to yourselves, Zegler

This woman, Sadia Khan, answers brilliantly to Zegler.

Zegler tried to destroy love (typical modern propaganda), but Sadia rehabilitates true love.

You're a sad, pathetic, sexist piece of trash. By the way, moron, Disney has delayed everything because of the actors stike.

^ dear Toonami1990, dear friend, you are a child of your times: you are ruled by your emotions and you use words you don't understand.

 

"Sexism" is a chimera, used as a strawman to scare the general population and maintain a false narrative. I'll leave you with food for thoughts, maybe it'll help you grow:

^she just had a massive blockbuster success (it's still running what means it will even gross more money) - based on a earlier even more successful franchise I'm aware of it but still I don't think the general audience cares for any of this overbloated internet hate.

^ There are plenty of rich people who are monsters.

 

Jeff Bezos is rich, but he is a douche who treats his employees as slaves.

 

Rachel can enjoy her tainted money, but she's still an awful person. She spread “hate”, days after days; she just reaps what she sows. Many people dislike her. Thankfully, she won't have a long career (it happened to others like her)

(BTW, the Hunger Games movie worked, because it's the Hunger Games - and this episode was way less successful than previous movies. It was actually the worst. So, all in all, it's pretty much a L... )

[Enrico_sw]

The worst Hunger Games movie, so far

 

(and it's the one in which Mrs Zegler appeared, hmm, such a coincidence...)

1) "Good" doesn't necessarily mean "successful". I mean I'm sure you could go to Rotten Tomatoes and pull up its score, but it would be disingenuous to bring it up at this point.

2 The film has held well weekend to weekend, and will ultimately be the second highest grosser of the Holiday season.

3) I don't think a single person thought it would touch the original movies. The YA craze has withered to the point nobody even bothered to complete the Divergent series.

[Jade Bahr]

^It's also not necessarily fair to just pull off some numbers and calling it "the worst movie" of the franchise. Because it's not (this honor belongs to part 3 and 4). It is maybe less successful in numbers yes, but you also have to consider the changes cinema has made since the first HG movie entered theatres (or the 2nd part since this one is the most successful) thx to streaming services, peoples lack of capability to watch something longer than a freakin tik tok clip, the aftermath of a pandemic etc.

 

Jennifer Lawrence already was a phenomen back then and so was her HG character Katniss Everdeen.

 

Nowadays Jennifer Lawrence isn't capable to repeat this amount of success herself.  Her last movie "No hard feelings" made 88 millions worldwide. Heck, DiCaprios latest oscar vihacle "Killers of the Flower Moon" even failed to bring in the bugdet of 200 million dollars and he's considered being one of the last big living movie stars.

 

Songbirds and Snakes made three times what Lawrence and DiCaprio were capable to pull off this year at the box office. What does your calculation mean for their careers? Are movie stars simply dead?

 

Other reasons for different conditions for Songbirds and Snakes are simple. It couldn't built the same hype. Collins just wrote the book in 2020, the movie was shot 2 years later. A fandom is also evolving it's not simply freezing in time, waiting patiently for the next installment. So people, conditions and expectations, mindsets are different than 10 years ago. It's also a movie about the antagonist Coriolanus Snow. So it's not a story about heros but a villain. Tom Blyth who plays Snow is a complete stranger - he's saying himself after this movie he's capable for the first time for not only choosing several future projects but having the oppurtnity of several projects on his plate. I guess it has the same effect for Rachel as an actress. And isn't this the very definition of success in Hollywood for young new faces?

(if he's doing smart choices he will continue to land on top in the future)

 

I mean the Twilight saga pulled of some very impressive numbers too (same for the books). Is it considered a good franchise though? LOL

 

However paramount didn't even expect Songbirds and Snakes being nearwhere a hit.

2023 Box Office in Review: A Year Where Filmmakers Flourished and Franchises Failed

Lionsgate — $586 million domestic

Top films: “John Wick: Chapter 4” ($187.1 million domestic/$432 million worldwide); “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” ($160.6 million domestic/$322 million worldwide as of Jan. 1)

Biggest busts: “Expend4bles” ($16.7 million domestic/$51.1 million worldwide); “Silent Night” ($7.9 million domestic/$9.7 million worldwide)

 

With its strategy of keeping production costs down and selling international theatrical rights to overseas distributors, Lionsgate does business in a much different way than the big legacy studios. That resulted in a year that didn’t light up the charts but allowed for a low-risk/high-reward approach to the post-COVID box office.

 

Though they were both well-received by critics and core audiences, “Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret” and “Joy Ride” never got traction with a wider audience and didn’t gross more than $20 million domestic. Then there was “Expend4bles,” a panned action sequel that grossed $16.7 million, a huge drop from the $103 million the first “Expendables” made in 2010.

 

But Lionsgate scored huge victories in reviving franchises that seemed played out. Though it didn’t reach the heights of its early 2010s heyday, the “Hunger Games” prequel “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” legged out to $313 million worldwide against a $100 million budget, while “John Wick: Chapter 4” went even further, to a series-high $432 million. The low-budget “Saw X” rode unusually high critics’ reviews to a $53 million domestic and $109 million global run.

 

Combine that with continued secondary support from faith-based partners Kingdom Story Company — which had a low-budget success with “Jesus Revolution” — and Lionsgate is finding stability in a turbulent period.

 

 

@Handsomest_Spinja rottentomatoes isn't even accurate. Movies (especially disney) paying for good reviews there.
