Indiana Jones and Flash flopped hard. Could this be the beginning of the end for franchise films? (lemmy.film)

For the last few years franchise movies like star wars, marvel, etc. made money regardless of quality. However now it seems like audiences are being choosier when it comes to these kinds of tentpole releases. I've seen some people online say that the movie/theater industry is losing people in general but I don't think that's the case.

Super Mario and spiderverse made a lot of money. And Oppenheimer, Barbie, and Dune seem to be tracking well. I think the problem is that people are getting sick of the same old stuff and need more than just a brand name to go to the theater. What do you you think?

Dune was incredible in theaters. I'm scared of watching it again at home (in prep for the 2nd part) since I'm probably going to be disappointed

Proper surround sound with subwoofer required, to be sure

The soundtrack was amazing... Ooof the chills.it gave me!

I'm the same - I remember it quite well so may just go without seeing the first part again beforehand.

I saw it in a normal cinema, then literally the next day booked it in isense (like imax). Most people don't have the money to pay for a decent Atmos setup so only get to experience it in the best cinemas on occasion. Dune was so worth it.

Yeah, I can imagine. I skipped it but watched it later on my phone. Definitely want to go see part 2 in theaters.
