Does the massive success of Top Gun Maverick mean that Hollywood will start making good movies again?
you tell me
no i'm asking you
Why me
I hope so.
I think so.
Currently there are actual real films in production or out that I am looking forward to seeing soon, such as the banshees of inisherin, Openheimer.
It's only a matter of time now before it sinks in that capeshit is over. Marvel shit failed so fricking hard all year it was wonderful.
>Marvel shit failed so fricking hard all year it was wonderful.
All their three movies this year are in the top 10 highest grossing both domestic and global.
>Not a single Marvel release from 2022 passes billion dollar mark
>Can't blame covid anymore
The only way is down.
>Not a single Marvel release from 2022 passes billion dollar mark
No more China. Only Top Gun and Jurassic World did it, JW by the skin of its teeth, and Doctor Strange came just a couple of millions short.
China got wise to the fact that modern american movies are largely dogshit now. For the last decade hollywood was coasting on goodwill from the 80s and 90s films the chinese saw. They go to a showing of an american movie to see american moviestars doing bombastic dramatic american shit. If they want to see chinese or european or african cinema they'll go and watch a movie made there. They have zero interest in seeing american moron execs attempt to get a writers room of israelites and women and israeli women to tell a traditional chinese tale poorly with tons of africans anachronistically jammed in for no good reason. Hence why the mulan remake and shangchi bombed in china.
With the exception of Dr Strange they were all flops. Thor barely broke even.
Their cgi shitfests need to crack a billion just to be considered a success.
Profit?
This movie wasn't even good. Just a carbon copy of the original with some cool shots.
the original is worse and more gay
So good,with some cool shots
>watching either Top Gun for anything other than fighter jets going brrrrrrrrrt
That’s a you problem more than anything
No, it means they'll try and jam their boring propaganda into the formula they believe made Maverick a success.
They’ll just double down on nostalgia baiting. The worse thing that could happen despite all the revival flops was for one to hit it this big.
No because it's just another unnecesary sequel from a nostalgic film.
>unnecessary
the story makes sense logically and canonically
The story doesn't have to be made whatsoever, but was anyway because of money.
cruise always wanted to do a sequel though, it was only a matter of time
I personally don't care but it's not going to change anything about Hollywood. They just see that nostalgia still brings the shekels.
>but was anyway because of money.
Nobody thought this movie would make as much as it did, no one, not even the producers and executives and what not thought it would beat the Marvel movies released this year. Sure they had confidence it would at least break even but this movie was not made simply for money.
The rot is buried too deep in Hollywood
It's been fifteen years since the writers strike, we aren't going to get good movies until Hollywood finally declares bankruptcy and all the producers and executives and other penny pinchers move on to other things, leaving the creatives in charge
Why have things gone to shit since the writers strikes? Do they just not wanna pay for it? The writing seems like its the most important part of any movies
People were happy to go to committee designed capeshit in droves so Hollywood decided it didn't require scripts anymore to make movies.
only mavericks like tom cruise are capable of producing good movies
Not really. There's shitloads of people capable of producing great movies, they just don't have access to the money or means Hollywood throws around for production, marketing and distribution.
no, once Tom Cruise is gone that's it for movies
Hope not.
Can't bruise the Cruise
Avatar 2 has already bruised the cruise.
It doesn't have legs, it's already flopping as we speak.
It opened lower than Doctor Strange 2 and its second week drop looks like it's going to be larger. It might cross a billion but if it does it won't pass the mark by much. It won't come close to Maverick, it simply won't have the legs.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
yes america won more zogbots for israel
Both are good though?
Shit no. They'll go on spewing woke bullshit and hemorrhaging money because that's what ideological institutions *do*. That's like asking why the Japs didn't change their strategy after the Battle of Midway, or why Robespierre's followers didn't try and mellow out the French Revolution after he went under the guillotine. It was merely a treasured one-off that went beneath the corporate radar, and so succeeded. Like the Mandalorian.
Depends on what you mean by "good".
As much as I enjoyed TOP GUN, let's not kid ourselves into thinking that this was nothing less short of a movie based on a nostalgic cash grab. Now in my opinion, it was a damn fine nostalgic cash grab with some amazing cinematography, intense combat scenes, and some sharp dialogue spliced in here and there, but it was a nostalgic cash grab nonetheless.
The only "good" hollywood films that we're going to see are either adaptations of previous works or existing IPs, or some sequels here and there.
Marvel still has a mass monopoly on cinema that they won't relinquish anytime soon, so "good movies" like Top Gun are going to become relatively rare.
tl;dr things are going to get worse before they get better
I'm not saying that Scientology isn't a creepy cult. But it would do a better job of administering Hollywood than the creepy cult that runs it now. At some point they who must not be named lost the ambition to produce revenue-generating crowd-pleasers. Scientologists are at least still greedy for money, I suppose because they can't just issue it at will like the other guys can, which has made them downright indolent tbh. I'm voting Tom Cruise for president of movies. He may be insane, but he won't take the audience for granted.
>Does the massive success of a Bad Movie mean that Hollywood will start making good movies again?
No, why would it?
