Blighboy 10/07/18 8:01:09 PM #8:	A Venom sequel will likely underperform significantly in the way Justice League or ASM2 did, so Venom's numbers right now don't mean much long term. I am curious if Sony learned their lesson from ASM2 or if they're going to make the same mistake (with the same franchise) twice. That's not to be too hard on Sony though. Obviously the audience didn't learn or Venom wouldn't be doing so well. --- https://i.imgtc.com/IoWAUSb.jpg <cite>Blighboy posted [p:910138890] in One good t...

I'm still expecting Holland to be the Spider-man of Sony's universe. (I was expecting a suited cameo in Venom until they confirmed the symbiote's origin wasn't Spidey related.) They'd only be able to make vague references to the actual MCU but they could treat all of those events as canon to its own and start strong with an established Spider-man. This way they don't have to build up yet another actor and origin and they get to coast off the MCU's success with him. Something like this had to be the plan all along. I've seen people say that Sony is trying to work Disney for a long-term partnership but that's just fan wishes.

Venom (the movie) is just overall boring and Tom Hardly was god awful and uncharismatic in the this movie. All the jokes landed so flat and all the action were dull (I'm blaming that due to it's PG-13 rating). If the movie came out in the 90s before the marvel universe took off, it would have been a decent comic book movie next to Spawn and Dolph Lundgren's Punisher.

ParanoidObsessive 10/09/18 8:02:59 PM #33:	Krazy_Kirby posted... idiots thought a venom movie was going to be good so they went to see it. doesn't mean it's a hit or good Came in to say something like this. I don't actually care about Venom in the slightest, so I've had zero interest in the movie (and zero emotional investment over whether or not it succeeds or fails), so I don't really care how well it does. But my reaction to this topic was basically "IS it a hit?", because first week numbers don't necessarily reflect long-term success, and it still has to make like another $200 million just to break even. It DOES seem to be over-performing beyond initial expectations, so that might be a good thing, but there's still a lot of time for it to collapse. It might just be a case of hyped-up 90s kids desperate to see a Venom movie rushing out to see it on release, but lesser general interest and poor word-of-mouth might still kill it long-term. Or positive word-of-mouth might increase sales even more. It's hard to say how things will go, especially since "quality" alone is rarely an indicator of what audiences will throw money at anyway (and again, having not seen it, I can't say whether it's surprisingly good or disappointingly bad regardless). I'd wait at least a few more weeks before I call it a hit or a flop. Revelation34 posted... Zangulus posted... Ever heard of a hostile take over? The joy of being publicly traded. Good luck pulling that off with a company as large as Sony. This. People think hostile takeovers are easier than they are because they don't really understand them, and because TV shows and movies make them seem kind of common, but they're pretty hard to pull off successfully. And tend to cost a LOT of money, and can damage company PR. It's an investment Disney probably wouldn't be willing to make over a single character (that, from their perspective, they don't even really necessarily NEED - especially since they're still making money off all Spider-Man merchandising and non-film projects). Yes, Disney is one of the most powerful corporations on Earth economically, legally, and politically, but at the end of the day, it takes a LOT of effort to drag down a company as large as Sony. Remember, Vivendi is a huge media company, and they failed in their recent attempted takeover of Ubisoft. And when it comes down to it, Disney would have to scrap 80% of the company if they DID successfully acquire, because Disney has no interest in tech or media distribution - which includes the only parts of Sony that are actually consistently profitable. The Fox deal only went through because Disney wanted most of Fox's other assets, not solely because of the Marvel elements (Disney would have been content to let the Fantastic Four and X-Men rot there forever if that was all that was on the table). As long as Sony is willing to work with Disney, both sides are making money. Assuming they can rein in their greed, there's no reason that arrangement can't last perpetually. Zangulus posted... Theyve tried. Sony isnt giving it up. I want to know how much Disney ended up paying just to get 4 movies worth of Spidey. Probably not much - the whole point of that deal was that Disney would help Sony produce Spider-Man movies tied to the MCU so Sony would profit from the deal, while Marvel in-turn could use Spider-Man. It's more of a profit-sharing agreement than one side buying concessions from the other. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:910255312] in One good t... [t:77076984]...</cite> <quote><cite>Krazy_Kirby posted...</cite> <quote>idiots thought a venom movie was going to be good so they went to see it. doesn't mean it's a hit or good</quote> Came in to say something like this. I don't actually care about Venom in the slightest, so I've had zero interest in the movie (and zero emotional investment over whether or not it succeeds or fails), so I don't really care how well it does. But my reaction to this topic was basically "IS it a hit?", because first week numbers don't necessarily reflect long-term success, and it still has to make like another $200 million just to break even. It DOES seem to be over-performing beyond initial expectations, so that might be a good thing, but there's still a lot of time for it to collapse. It might just be a case of hyped-up 90s kids desperate to see a Venom movie rushing out to see it on release, but lesser general interest and poor word-of-mouth might still kill it long-term. Or positive word-of-mouth might increase sales even more. It's hard to say how things will go, especially since "quality" alone is rarely an indicator of what audiences will throw money at anyway (and again, having not seen it, I can't say whether it's surprisingly good or disappointingly bad regardless). I'd wait at least a few more weeks before I call it a hit or a flop. <cite>Revelation34 posted...</cite> <quote><cite>Zangulus posted...</cite> <quote>Ever heard of a hostile take over?
