There will come a day when cinemas reopen. And then the studios will remember that the cinema box office brings in more money than a streaming subscription could ever provide.

They haven't forgotten that, that's why they're holding stuff like the latest Marvel capeshit and No Time to Die (at the box office) back until cinemas re-open. They can't keep making these big $300 million tentpole films if there's no theatres to open them in, it's not sustainable.

They'll want that money, sure, but they don't need it, which is the point. WB wouldn't be making Black Superman if they cared about ticket sales.

edit: rigga, they're releasing Black Widow to Disney Minus in July.

They're making Black Superman specifically because they care about ticket sales. They want in on that Black Panther hype.

Then they will fill the cast with woman, give them lesbian haircuts and do interviews talking about how much they hate the ticket buyers causing the film to flop.

Because the box office receipts for the last year have been astronomical! Record breaking even!

You dumb bastard.

Is there anyone looking forward to that stupid kid Ghostbuster movie? I thought when people said they wanted a real Ghostbusters movie they meant a sequel to the 80s movies, not Ghostbusters Odd Squad with Paul Rudd and no budget. Shit looks like a Netflix original. Plus it stars that retard from the "What's a computer?" ads.
