Other than them being bad movies? -- nm - Ender Jun 18, 16:44 1
- My understanding is that The Flash is the best superhero movie ever. - David Jun 18, 16:45
lol and there's zero difference between any movies from any different studios -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 18, 15:50 11
- I don't even understand what you're arguing here, if anything. -- nm - David Jun 18, 15:54 10
  - DC movies being total shit has nothing to do with why Pixar has been kneecapped theatrically -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 18, 15:56 9
    - "Kneecapped" meaning what exactly? Do you even know what the opening weekend box office difference is between this and Onward? - David Jun 18, 15:57 8
      - It’s down 25% from Onward after opening and will be ahead because ten days from now, the world won’t shut down. - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jun 18, 16:01 7
        
        The argument is that Pixar has ruined itself, and that's easily disproven by the fact that this film will outearn their most recent one. - David Jun 18, 16:09 6
        
        I mean, that's a take. It's going to finish ahead of a movie that was removed from theatres after 14 days because of a global pandemic.... - Will Hunting Jun 18, 16:14 5
        
        It'll be running neck and neck with that film by next Sunday, which is before the shutdown. So, your point vanishes. - David Jun 18, 16:23 4
        
        I'll take Wednesday night or as 2020 calls it RudyGoberteenth. - Will Hunting Jun 18, 16:50 3
        
        The fact here is we will never be able to make the case to David about anything Disney. It’s just not worth it. -- nm - MDH Jun 18, 17:14 2
        
        If that helps you defend an easily refuted bad-faith argument, okay. Saying Pixar is dead reminds of the time that you swore beer was dead. -- nm - David Jun 18, 17:18 1
        
        Go back and look at the post. I never said that. I said Hard Seltzer was skyrocketing and taking market share. -- nm - MDH Jun 18, 17:28
Because Warner put all of its movies on HBO Max and devalued everything. -- nm - MDH Jun 18, 15:50 2
- yes also begs the question “why is box office down since 2019” -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 18, 15:53
- So, why is all the other box office down as well? - David Jun 18, 15:53
