People dispise these Disney live action movies
I agree with a bulluca of people i two hate these Disney live action remakes
Also hope you are having a amazing rest of your weekend
Your lover a.r. Apollo
Moana was an easy skip
I can tell you exactly what went wrong with Evil Dead Burns, it was way to dark, the movie was garbage and I hated it.
LETS GOOOOO MOANA UNDERPERFORMING
The issue with Moana is the timing the top three movies, all appeal to the same audience. As for evil dead that’s an October movie not a summer movie.. Also they need to stop cramming all of these movies together
I have felt this way about most of the live action versions of great animated movies, we really don't need it. Same way I feel about remakes.
Congrats on Michael for grossing 1 Billion, could not be happier
Evil Dead Burn did okay. But why evil dead burn did fail because they have cut a scene avoid of a NC 17 rating
Yay Michael!
I believe no one was interested in seeing the live action version of Moana as the sequel to Moana just came a couple years ago. Disney should have waited a couple more years before they made this one. I guessing that the Evil Dead series seems to be running out of stream with this box office.
My theory is that people are craving original movies over franchise sequels. That’s part of why Backrooms and Obsession did so well. Seeing Toy Story fall off, Minions, Supergirl’s failure, Mandalorian’s failure, Moana’s subpar opening, even Evil Dead. I think we’re just needing more originality in film – not necessarily more horror. Just better original ideas.
Thanks for letting me know about “Mile End Kicks” Sue! I was wanting to check that out. If you’ve ever seen a movie called “I Love Movies,” it’s from the same director and that’s also a fantastic movie as well.
Ppl forget kids like cartoons animation they are kids why do a real life movie off of a animated movie that made money they just stupid and greedy smfh 🤦♂️
That's funny because people been bashing the Odyssey for being woke and nothing but negative stories about it
Can we get a movie about Harriet Tubman played by a white woman since color of the source material doesn't matter anymore?
Evil Dead has always been horror with a heavy dose of comedy and sarcasm. Even Dead Burn is straight horror. It's like moving into a different subgenre. And when you move a movie to a different genre, it is like starting from scratch.
All the reviews I've seen everyone said not worth paying your money to see live action Moana cuz its the exact same movie as the anime shot by shot except this live action is very boring and bland doesn't have the magic like the anime
hi sue: the reason I think is Moana has the rock in it and people are tired of him I hope not I love Dwayne johnson! and evil dead is a mean spirited blood and guts gorefest and people want more than just that.
3 kids movies right off that bat that’s why
Evil Dead Burn is my favorite horror movie of the year so far and just got out of seeing it the 2nd time. I’m not shocked it underperformed, too much competition and people are waiting to see The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day. It should’ve come out in March or April (just like 2013 and Rise) or during the Fall for spooky season
Evil dead only cost $20 million to make so the studio already in the Green .
Just got the new how to train your dragon live action with slip cover and it's good movie
I will never understand the Supergirl hate. I saw it Wednesday for a second time and loved it even more than the first time.
I didn’t read the graphic comic. I didn’t read or watch any spoilers. I only watched the trailers. I went into it with no spoilers and no expectations and I freaking loved it.
As for the ending that folks are crying about, I loved it. I’m glad she did it, just like I was glad Superman did it in MoS.
It’s a shame about the box office because Supergirl rocks. It has me even more excited about seeing her working with her cousin against Brainiac in Man of Tomorrow.
Who asked for a Moana live action version. Don’t moana more animated live action movies
I don’t care what anyone says but I loved the live action Moana remake. Yeah it’s not as good as the animated movies but I still loved it. To be honest I think it flopped because people just don’t like the Rock anymore. Lol
I also liked Supergirl. But I get why people didn’t like it but I enjoyed it.
it's when you eat the same thing for a year, then 6 months later you're offered the same thing to eat again.
I’ve seen Starwars Episode 1 at 3am with a bunch of friends when it released so yeah it’s been done plenty of times.
Disney needs to stop making live versions of there animated movies.
i dont know anyone who wants to see the odyssey
Wow! I thought Evil Dead Burn was tracking for around 22 million. This is surprising! I saw this movie on opening day and it was good!
Evil Dead Burn has made 41M so far.
Nobody wants to see The Rock in anything.
I’m actually very happy that Moana underperformed. Disney needs to get rid of this atrocious Bob Iger model of making the laziest cash grab they can think.
I thought these live action disaster remakes were on their way to the grave, but after the Lilo and Stitch remake apparently not. However I think we’re back to them being dead again. Also I’m hoping this also means Disney’s strategy of taking shows and movies intended for Disney+ and turning them into movies is starting to backfire. Originally the Lilo and Stitch remake, Moana 2 and I’m sure at least one more movie were all intended for Disney plus got bumped to theaters and both made over a billion dollars. However after Mando’s failure which seemed like it was intended for Mandalorian season 4, I’m glad this new strategy looks to be failing already.
The Odyssey probably opens strong but it will be word of mouth after the first weekend that portends its future. We've had plenty of movies open big and crash hard in week two this year. Fingers crossed that it is good because if the flop streak continues for Hollywood, it comes down to Spiderman, Brand New Day to salvage July and The Summer of Misfires.
Too many blockbuster. Not time to go theatre and watch. Tickets expensive in theatre
I thought all theaters ran late showings. Went to see a late showing of Oppenheimer at the time it was packed (10:30pm) and I remember not getting out of the theater until almost 2am. If I remember correctly, that was nearly a 3 hour movie.
I’m loving how the most recent years in the box office have been struggling studios and lesser movie studios making a comeback or having their moment in the spotlight.
2024 was the abysmal year of endless sequels and prequels making up like the top 22 high grossing Hollywood movies.
Then 2025 took a sudden turn and WB of all companies made a comeback and brought forth a new wave of movies that was breaking apart the lazy endless sequels and prequel model that Bob Iger made popular. WB had their big comeback moment and was the first studio to make $4 billion on the worldwide box office than One Battle After Another ended their streak.
Now continuing post One Battle After Another, now Lionsgate is having their comeback after their disastrous 2024 year. Having peaked in their company's history now with Michael being their first billion dollar movie in history.
Another little milestone you missed? This is the first weekend when A24 has more than one movie in the top 10 which is The Invite and Backrooms. Would be more of a milestone if Invite becomes another $100+ million movie for A24.
Would be funny if Netflix has the first billion dollar movie of 2026 and maybe A24 might have the first billion dollar movie of 2028? Anything feels possible these days.
You can tell that I'm slowly losing interest in these new movies because I didn't even know none of these released and this is coming from someone who loved going to the movies and was always up to date. The last movie that I saw in theaters was Super Mario Galaxy which was crap and the movie I saw before that was Scream 7 which was also crap. I think those two movies really turned my movie theater experience completely off. Stuff is getting way too expensive to keep wasting your money especially on mediocre movies.
Forgot to mention The Hawk the new Will Ferrell golf comedy series comes on Netflix, July 16. I’m really looking forward to this one.
WOW! I too want to see The Real Wolf of Wall Street documentary on Paramount +. Probably going to be tough for him to reflect back on the wild shenanigans he participated in during his youth.
I wonder if with Moana if people just said I’ll wait for Disney plus since it’s the exact same movie. To me after watching it today unless you’re a diehard fan it’s something you can wait on. I am excited for The Odyssey this week
Evil Dead Burn was a horrible movie.
Awwwww I’m sorry 😂😂😂
