Disney's MCU is at an inflection point. With "Thunderbolts*" the latest box office disappointment, will Marvel continue to back riskier stand-alones?

    I had not even heard of this movie until seeing this post.

    Where the hell were they marketing it?

      They also changed the title in the weeks leading up to release.

          They actually renamed it after release, I didn’t realize that.
          I’d share a source but I can’t tell which of these many nearly identical search results isn’t an ad-infested click farm.
          From Thunderbolts to The New Avengers. Which is apparently a plot thing? I haven’t seen it.

    Sounds like Hollywood accounting strikes again.

    They’ll make the money back and more on streaming and DVD sales.

      Seriously though, shouldn’t the formula be updated to take all revenue sources into account and not just box office?

        Yes. It should be updated, but they don’t, so that they can underpay contributors - people who often are owed money as a percentage of the formula.

      You must be really sheltered if you think there’s only superhero movies in theaters.
