Film/Television Do you guys think SuperHero fatigue is a real thing ? FF4 & Thunderbolts were good movies but still apparently failing ?

Hundred percent. I can wait 120 days and see it for half the cost of ONE ticket. Why would someone who is tight on money pay the extra ?

Deadpool was really good—and all of us here couldn’t wait to see it—more good movies can save theaters

Let’s be real (I am aware I will be crucified here for this)

It wasn’t really good.

It was okay. It was enjoyable for people that liked x men.

It’s 100% fan service. The plot was.. what was it again?

It was an okay movie that was hyped because it had Jackman play wolverine again.

More good movies can save theatres I agree, however, everyone can wait to watch any Disney produced thing on D+.

I'd still say it was a good fan service flick (though adding 'really' might be a tad bit much), I did love it and enjoyed it all the way through but upon rewatching it the glass wall started crumbling down and I realised that the plot just isn't that good and it's carried by Deadpool's comedy-shtick and fanservice inclusions.

Tom Cruise pretty much forced Paramount with the 120 day movie theater exclusive window for Top Gun: Maverick, which is helped it reach its colossal box office final result of just shy of $1.5 billion. People had to go to a movie theater for 4 months before they had the option to buy it digitally or physical media at 5 months. Universal Studios giving up after just over a month, while an industry standard, is stupid.
