    Mickey 17 was well advertised imo with big names attached. Still bombed.

    I'm still confused by what happened with this film. I knew it was coming out, but I didn't get around to seeing it opening weekend, then by Wednesday of the next week the headlines stated that it was leaving theaters and heading to streaming.

    I would have seen it in theaters, but once the streaming was announced I didn't mind waiting another week or two.

    I just saw it and enjoyed it.

    I feel like it didn't have any time to build momentum, just kicked almost straight to streaming.

    The problem is the short time windows in theaters and yeah it was a good movie. The fact it was a trump analog hurt it and Paterson is a great actor fuck twilight but the Batman was a great movie and the penguin is a masterpiece of television.

    Black bag didn't get any advertising. The problem is studios have trained their audience to expect slop then they put out a few good original movies for a short time window then point at it and say see audiences don't want original films.

    -- guy that watches original movies every weekend in the theater

    Also studios don't want original movies they want shit that they can make toys for or tie-ins with McDonald's. They also don't want directors with their own vision messing up their synergy with their marketing partners. They want people to put out content not art.

    I liked the movie, but it had no chance. The budget was way too big. It should never have been given such a big budget.

    I want more mid-budget original movies that actually have a chance of financial success.

    I didn’t hear about that one almost at all and I go to the theater every week.

    I only knew about it because I like the director and go out of my way to look up interesting movies.
