This isn't counting "modern musicals" like Bohemian Rhapsody, A Star Is Born, or Pitch Perfect. I also left off slightly older entries like Mama Mia or La La Land.

Hollywood is constantly "rediscovering" that people like musicals. The recent idea that musicals are bad stems from the failures of Dear Evan Hansen (awful with a lead who aged out of the role), West Side Story (stunning movie that folks just stayed home for), Mean Girls (a nostalgia play originally intended for streaming) and In The Heights (well-reviewed and from the same director as Wicked).

Wicked is an excellent adaptation (I'dd argue it is still too long) but it's not unique in Hollywood history. Well crafted and successful musicals are an industry staple. It only feels singular because people stopped going to the movies as much.

i love how for years hollywood has been like "people just don't go to musical movies, they just don't make money, we HAVE to make them more commercial!" and then wicked came along and proved that actually if you respect the source material and the audience's intelligence and actually fucking try, the money will come

As Barbie becomes a billionaire it's heartbreaking to realize that the writers who wrote the film and the actors who participated in it are unable to fully celebrate its success because they are on strike picketing for better working conditions, increased residuals and stronger protections against AI.

Absolutely incredible

Imagine making a movie with a budget of $25 million and making $130 million internationally during the first weekend while your movie is also on streaming!

So proud of Blumhouse and everyone who worked on this movie, I’m wholeheartedly looking forward to the sequels!

I googled what each movie made opening weekend.

So if you listen to some they will say $47 million is a huge failer yet $23 million is a great success.

Goalpost moving and biases much?

In 1956, movie theaters still had splendidly outfitted ushers to guide moviegoers to their seats. Behind this one is a poster for Oklahoma!.

Is anyone else confused by how the box office works for movies and what makes a movie a “flop” because I’m very confused. I adore Fall Guy and really want to see it succeed and it sounds like it’s doing well as it’s been #1 box office spot for two weeks running yet because it didn’t surpass the cost it took to produce the movie on its first weekend it’s a “flop”? Why does everything need to be some mega blockbuster hit to be considered a success? The movie has great reviews, anytime I see anyone talk about it it’s extremely positive, and it’s an incredibly entertaining and uplifting movie. I’m tired. Anyways, rant over. Go see Fall Guy it’s a great movie you won’t regret it!

QUIET PLACE DAY ONE.. amazing..

We saw the QUIET PLACE DAY ONE.. it was emotional, amazing..

It was a fascinating theater experience where people who were seeing it also felt they needed to stay quiet just like those in the movie experiencing trauma..

People were afraid to even eat their popcorn or open candy wrappers while the film was playing!

This was not a horror.. not a drama.. but an experience. See it in a theater with others, and stay quiet with them!!
