I agree that streaming services are a big factor in declining movie theatre attendance. But this doesn't fully explain why some movies are successful at the theatre, while others aren't. (I believed the general rule is that a movie is successful if it's revenues exceed twice its production budget)
Honestly this year all the big movies have been something totally unexpected and different from the standard hollywood fare. Barbie, Oppenheimer, my big fat greek wedding 3, Guardians of the Galaxy went back to it's original format and just had a good story that wasn't tied to the rest of the Kang mess, Spiderverse again just a good story not tied to everything else. Hopefully Hollywood ego's can recieve the message everyone sent them. People are interested in good stories, anything added to a good story is icing on the cake. But icing does not a cake make.
It is nice that he is using his FU money to tell people FU for trying to force him into something. Likely not agree with half of what he says, but I side with more free speech.
I am a little miffed that one of the great joys that we usually get with the new Doctor (the other two being the wardrobe and the characterizations) won't be present when Gatwa takes over.
Three out of five is only barely "usually". Three out of... 13+, is not "usually" at all. If we include McGann and the War Doctor to get that 13, it is still only 5 out of 13. Less than half the time.
I haven't watched the new material yet, but I've seen the shots, and I am delighted at the callback to those 26 years.
And, honestly, I think that new interior is actually for Gatwa.

I don't think GoG3 was a great movie, certainly wasn't as good as the first two, but was successful for legacy reasons. (This doesn't mean I thought it was bad, I just don't think it measured up).
Oppenheimer wasnt that big of a surprise. Folks look forward to Nolan films, and critics were giving it high praise. Its not like this film came out of nowhere. Not a supers flick, sequel, nor nostalgia bait.
Barbie wasnt really much of a surprise either. Well, for folks hip to those involved with making it anyways. It was all down to the execution and it worked out as expected; a hit.
Across the Spiderverse is going to be the Matrix Reloaded of the Spiderman franchise...
Woof...this thing was waaaaay too long. Also, ends on a cliffhanger? After more than 2 hours?? The third film now has a ton of weight placed on it to carry this thing. Good luck!
Now that that is out of the way, Spiderverse works because of its animation style, use of music, and good writing. I agree with you there...so far.
I have never seen a Greek Wedding, fat or otherwise, so cant comment on it. I'd bet legacy pulled it over though.
I'd say the message is pretty unclear. The reasons for these films success is disparate and nuanced. There is nothing you can point to as a silver bullet here.

But he isn’t. He’s trying to shut down every critic of everything he does, and giving support to people who prefer to back their opinions with lynchings and death camps.
