Good post.

I don't think I ever would have even known about this one if you didn't post it.

One of my least favorite genre's, but I'm always up for watching something new.

I didn't do more than skim the article because I don't want to ruin the movie, but it appears that they didn't do a "Look Who's Talking Now" thing here and have John Travolta narrating the dog. I would not be interested in this movie if you hear the dog's thoughts in English.

Wow the Hollyweirdos they just gave it all the kiss of death

2025 will be even worse than expected?

‘Mickey 17’ Digital Release

date-revealed

18 Days After Theatrical Debut

another flop Novocaine...maybe not it has a reported Budget of $18 million...so does that qualify in the 'indie' thread where the first post was to cap it at $15-16 Million?

‘Novocaine’ With $8M+ Leads Lowest-Grossing Weekend Of 2025 To Date
https://deadline.com/2025/03/box-office-novocaine-1236326472/

if you can't turn profit anymore on a 18 Million Dollar movie that some people watch...it means Hollywood is over


now if only ‘Novocaine’ got a fraction of Captain America Brave New World 2025 numbers, it could have been a huge hit...

...maybe people have movie fatigue again

We've been through 4 years of Bidenflation. I'll allow it.

They don't get to do whatever they want when the taxpayers are paying for it to exist.

This theater will be shut down if it doesn't cease showing nothing but Anti-American propaganda.

It could never exist on its own merits. It would go out of business by the end of the month if it wasn't taxpayer funded.

the political culture of the sandbox infecting USA life and Art and Freedoms?

lal-no-other-land-israel-palestine-yuval-abraham-b2720917.html



this time 'Greatest Ally' and a dumbass Mayor might have pulled the wrong move with that censorship crap



meanwhile the entertaining world moves on


The internets and entertaining became a balkanized 'folk' thing

its over, young people choose their own path of entertainment after being spoon fed garbage for years from a small bunch of trashy entertainment companies

anyways it looks like I was 'wrong' its even worse than I predict

I thought maybe just maybe by the end of March Hollyweird should have one hit where it takes in the Millions
but it has NOTHING

meanwhile on the international markets Spanish, Japanese, SKorean and even Russian remakes after knocking it back

..its over they can give their crap awards to dumb transexual political DEI movies nobody watches at the Oscars
Hollyweird is finally finished

Will it drop below 50% ...this year they are really getting their ass kicked
Hollyweird done? LA is ash

maybe its time to back the indie guys again, even something silly FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S let independent films make you money
and stop trashing them as Alt-Right or 'Deplorables'

The global market share of American films has declined from 85% to 69% over the past 10 years.
https://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZQOGN1403Z0U5A310C2000000/

if you chop that 69% in half we get

34.5% ...which seems about right for this disastrous year for Hollyweird...maybe it can get even worse

its getting beat by Japan Anime, China movies, Spanish movies, Russian remakes and South Korea film on the international stage
Bollywood films will probably knock a few Hollyweirdo films down



there might be two other stories here, HongKong film actually holding steady with a slight rise and France crashing – 4.5% down to France – 1.5% the French film industry seems over.


DEI transsexual Hollywood diversity stuff is not selling, the world rejects it, most of the world is somewhat religious or political 'Conservative' and Japan and (mainly) China rejecting new 'agenda' US films to such a large degree


Hollyweird budgets are out of control, the Japanese show you can make a blockbsuter on the cheap
Godzilla minus one made 11.5 times it's production budget
