Box Office: Reasons behind why Mickey 17 failed to see a big financial success

Box Office: Reasons behind why Mickey 17 failed to see a big financial success

Published by Parlour News

Robert Pattinson’s latest science fiction black comedy film, Mickey 17, released at the box office very recently. The film is directed by popular South Korean director Bong Joon Ho known for his last Oscar winning film Parasite. The film was an offering eagerly awaited by the fans and the general audience but failed to show any overwhelming response at the box office. Why is Mickey 17 a Box Office Flop? Mickey 17 is based on the 2022 novel Mickey7. Though it is made on a unique theme which spiked quite some interest among the audience with its pre-release assets like the trailer and the teaser, watching the film has led to the rise of an equal disinterest. The film faced mixed reviews from the audience and several critics as a result of probably not standing up to the expectations one would have wanted it to, making for a major reason behind the film’s failure. Another big reason could be that this Robert Pattinson starrer lacks any highly commercial elements. Due to no large scale exciting …

Kung Fu Panda 4 movie review: Not the franchise’s best, but a bonus dumpling in the bamboo steamer | Hollywood

Published by Parlour News

Kung Fu Panda 4 movie review: It took eight years for the makers to come up with the fourth installment. The long haul begs the question: Is the new movie worth the wait? I’d say, just about. It’s far from the best of the franchise (that would be 1, or 2), but is nonetheless a worthy addition to the franchise, a bonus dumpling in the bamboo steamer.

The 62 Most Anticipated Movies of 2024

Published by Webster

What are the biggest movies coming in 2024? Surprisingly, there aren’t as many superhero films gracing theatres this year, with DC Studios preparing to launch just one, Joker: Folie à Deux, a sequel to Todd Phillips’ grounded Batman universe, introducing a new player into the mix. On the Marvel side, we’ve got four movies — Kraven the Hunter, Deadpool 3, Venom 3, and Madame Web — all suffered shifting release dates due to the Hollywood labour strikes. Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two was another major casualty of the strikes. Originally set to debut in November last year, it got pushed into March when the actors’ union barred its star-studded cast — featuring the likes of Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, and Florence Pugh — from promotional duties and interviews. Beyond that, we’ve got the long-gestating Gladiator sequel with Paul Mescal in the lead, a fourth entry in the Kung Fu Panda saga, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and a John Wick spin-off film charting the tale of the ballerina assassin looking to avenge her family’s death.
