Yesterday in the stock market: “costs are going up, hitting profit margins! DOOM!!!” Today: “lol, whatevs, never mind.” -- nm - znufrii, exceeded expectations Jan 20, 12:08
Studios still haven't grasped how things have changed...The Batman run time 2:47. -- nm - MDH Jan 20, 11:45 19
- I should say "some studios" b/c some have frantically been re-editing trying to cut time. West Side Story tried hard, - MDH Jan 20, 12:07
- That still leaves enough time for you to get home before symptoms appear. -- nm - Max Jan 20, 12:06
- "But Avengers Endgame was 3 hours and look how much it made!" "You are not Endgame." -- nm - Baron Enero Jan 20, 12:02
- The Top 8 Worldwide Grossing movies are: - Will Hunting Jan 20, 12:02 6
  - Take a look at the past year. Minus Spider-man (which is HUGE) anything over 2:15 massively uinderperformed. -- nm - MDH Jan 20, 12:06 2
    - *EVERYTHING* other than Spiderman has underperformed. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 20, 12:12 1
      - Overperformed: Venom 2 (1:37), Ghostbusters Afterlife (2:04), Quiet Place 2 (1:37), Free Guy (1:55) -- nm - MDH Jan 20, 12:16
  - I think he means modern times, but that was why I went with SMNWH. - Spawn Jan 20, 12:04 2
    - 100% agree on spider-man, but it's the special case. And you're correct, I mean in COVID -- nm - MDH Jan 20, 12:08 1
      - This too is a special case. I am not expecting Dark Knight numbers but I expect it to better Batman Begins. - Spawn Jan 20, 12:14
- Yeah, the 2 and half hour run time for SMNWH *killed* it's box office. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 11:47 8
  - Supposedly Dr Strange MoM might be as long as SMFFH -- nm - eag Jan 20, 12:18
  - It's the only outlier in a year of very consistent data. And everyone knew that would be an outlier. -- nm - MDH Jan 20, 12:05 2
    - Runtime will not hurt Batman's sales. The people that were going to see it if it was 100 minutes will see it at 167 minutes. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 12:11 1
      - There's always people who buy tickets no matter what. But Marvel has a bigger base than Batman, and there's going to be folks who don't go. -- nm - MDH Jan 20, 12:14
  - If our theatres are actually open by the time it releases, I'm totally going. Clearly. -- nm - Shaun Jan 20, 11:52 3
    - I have found I can comfortably wear an N95 if I am sitting and especially if I am not talking. So the movies may be the best place for me. - Spawn Jan 20, 11:54 2
      - I found No Way Home super easy to sit thru, masked up. Should be no different here! -- nm - Shaun Jan 20, 11:57 1
        
        I had not been doing N95s. They can trigger my breathing/claustrophobia issues. But things are bad enough now I have started using them when possible. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 12:03

- It's been on and off for the last hour here -- nm - spamlet Jan 20, 10:50 3
  - Must be a routing issue, because I couldn't connect to any of the servers I run at digital ocean SFO -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 10:51 2
    - Also, mobile is the problem. Work internet is fine (both connecting to beta) -- nm* - spamlet Jan 20, 10:51 1
      - Yeah, I first had the issue on my phone, but then my laptop wouldn't connect either. So it could be a backbone issue from the ISP. - Beryllium Jan 20, 10:55
- nope. Just you - decline Jan 20, 10:50

  - Do peloton classes have regular attendees that you get to know, or is the system just one way and others don't know if you show up or not? -- nm - Max Jan 20, 10:36 1

  - I bought mine well before the pandemic and liked it, but as I moved to work from home it's become a daily part of my routine (maybe 2x/week before). -- nm - pmb Jan 20, 10:35 1
    - I'm on it daily. It helps immensely with "I want a quick workout" since I justify it by having it be intense. Don't always have times for long runs. -- nm - MDH Jan 20, 11:22
- It shouldn't be surprising. They sold a ton at the beginning of the pandemic. It couldn't keep up that pace. -- nm - pmb Jan 20, 10:28 2
