RIP Morbius

[trappedslider]

Is this thread about john carter or Morbius? I honestly can't tell...

Anyway, Morbius will most likely drop to number 2 or even 3 since Sonic and Ambulance comes out this week, when Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore releases it will be number one. Then on the 22nd, it will move to second because folks will go see Nic Cage go full Nic Cage lol. Also, I'm predicting The Northman to bomb along with Bad Guys.

Then all will be blown out of the water come May.

I guess I'm alone in enjoying John Carter. I think I've seen it three times (which is at least three times more than most people). I am a sucker for space opera/sci-fi adventure, and I thought the movie was entertaining enough.

No, I quite enjoyed it. Saw it in a theatre the first time, when it was initially released. The books are seminal SciFi. Their DNA is in a Metric Butt Tun of later works.

I also enjoyed John Carter but saw it first on a streaming service.

IMO, that was one of the film's problems - quite a lot of it looked derivative of other sci-fi and fantasy films, because as you say the DNA was found elsewhere. The circle of inspiration had become complete.

Does not help that Mars is now known as a frozen wasteland and the tales of the old canals are long forgotten except by ageing nerds.

Both Fantastic Beasts and Morbius looked like something I would wait to see streaming at home rather than at the theatre. Hedgehog is a skip all together. Dr Strange may be one worth going to the movies for.

Most of May will be dominated by Dr. Strange until Memorial Day weekend then Top Gun: Maverick will FINALLY be released
EDIT: I predict that the memorial day weekend will look like the following:
1. Top Gun Maverick
2. Doctor Strange
3. Bob's Burgers

There is a Bob's Burgers movie coming?

Oh, I love it, too. It's one of the few movies I own on blu-ray. I think it's a borderline classic.

I can't afford all the film scores I'd like to buy on cd, but I sprung for Michael Giacchino's John Carter score on cd. It's one of my favorite film scores of all time.
