When you write books, plural, do you just want to read them all while not having the movies influence your own imagination? which i could totally understand. Because otherwise from a spoiler perspective the two movies just adapt the first novel.
I was under the impression that many large blockbuster productions nowadays have similar sized marketing budgets. Maybe $150m is a bit on the high side for Wicked, but from a quick search Dune Part II also seems like it had a roughly $100m one.
Tbh not suprising for some of the reasons mentioned above. And i think particular something like Anora gets a lot of buzz on the critic side, but hardly any mainstream attention. So you’d have to actively pay attention to that.
Tbh while i thought that there were some great movies, it probably was a light year for movies in general, at least for me. I’d say it was more dominated by the large flops we had: Joker 2, Megalopolis, Madame Web, The Crow, Borderlands and so on.
I don’t particularly like adaptations in general since most of them are only made to cash in on the popular name. But when something not completely shit is made I like to go into it with having consumed original medium and then be able to compare and speculate the different reasons for the decisions made in the adaptation.
It used to be rare. But with Barbie’s gamble paying off, everyone thinks it’s the winning strategy now. I’m just proving them wrong. :)
