Little known fact: Chad Stahelski (director of all the John Wick movies) was also Brandon Lee's stunt double on The Crow, and was the one who finished playing him in the scenes Lee wasn't able to film.
@@gottfriedosterbach3907 He's not directing the movie. I just find it funny that everyone's complaining it has John Wick vibes when The Crow inspired John Wick to begin with.
@@GeordieAtBirth John Wick 4 received critical acclaim and got the highest audience scores of any of the movies. It's fine if you don't like it, but to say that 'only die hard fans could say anything good about it' is pretty ridiculous. Either that or the vast majority of people who watched it are all die hard John Wick fans.
@@Sharpclaw2000not for me... Its Disney fatigue. I would love a good Hulk movie. We need different people in charge, and to go back to beloved characters.
so huge hes basically been replaced by Kevin Hart and Chris Tucker and Chris Rock within the course of 10 years, they act the same, so he wasn't really special. Trading places was interesting, but I wouldn't ever say those two movies made him huge.
@@ravinraven6913 Eddie Murphy at one point was the biggest star on the planet, 1984 onwards was pretty much his time. He is also very much still in demand, can you say the same for either Chris, or any of the others who have tried to replace him? Martin Lawrence, Damon Wayans, Bernie Mac, Tommy Davidson, Jamie Foxx, none of whom captured what Murphy has, Will Smith is close, and even he has some turkeys.
Considering how many also-ran cop movies he's made not called "Beverly Hills Cop" but tried to ween off its success, coming out with a 4th sequel doesn't seem that farfetched.
Sadly, there were several reboots, copying almost everything from the original and diluting the effects of the story. These reboots, and the almost non--stop Spiderman reboots, have given me grave doubts about Hollywood's ability to create and invest in original storylines.
When I first heard they were remaking The Crow, I was like, "Noooo!!!". Then they revealed Bill Skarsgård was going to be starring, I was like, "...okay, you have my attention". But when they revealed his look, I was like, "...NOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
Bill's a great actor but I definitely do not see that individual playing that part it just doesn't work Brandon Lee made it his own. If you watch how badly the second and third installment of the original crow did It's pretty obvious that series died with Brandon Lee.
Leslie Nelson was also seen as a serious actor and not a comedian before doing Airplane so I say we give Neason a chance before saying the movie is doom and I thought he was funny in Ted
eh no thanks, not for me. I didn't like Airplane and the last 100 spoof movies that came out recently bombed, we just don't care about spoof movies. That's the type of stuff we see at school plays. If I want to see a lame movie, I will do that. But if I want something great right away, I will chose not to see something that looks so very disappointing you do you, some people like garbage. Some people don't notice it's garbage until others peel off that golden candy wrapper to show a melted moldy chocolate egg under neath the gold.
I think that got shelved (Thank God!) The quote from Disney was "indefinitely". (I think. it's been several months and I have tried to wipe that monstrosity from my brain!)
It's not that Star Wars fans don't want more Star Wars, it's that the crap Disney has been doing is ruining Star Wars. All blame starts with Kathleen Kennedy, her horrible leadership, her complete lack of vision, and the people who she keeps putting as directors and writers.
My entire group stood up and walked out of TLJ when Luke tossed the lightsaber over his shoulder. I'm talking about 80 people walking out of the theater en masse. Disney Star Wars ceased to exist to me at that moment.
#5. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What, what, what? Didn't we learn from trivia pages just like this one that Leslie Nielsen was a serious dramatist throughout his prime? Bet Liam was chosen for the same reason!
Leslie Nielson was picked for AIRPLANE due to being a serious dramatist, just as many other serious actors were picked for that film. Police Squad was released in 83, The Naked Gun in 88 - He'd already proven his comedic chops when he got the role of Frank Drebbin! He was also significantly YOUNGER than Liam Neeson who is 71, Nielson was only 67 when he made Naked Gun 3 in 94! Neeson was picked because he's a big name - If they were going to even attempt this they'd have been far better off with David Duchovny, Colin Firth or Antonio Banderas who are all 63 and have all shown talent for comedy!
In the "Musical Genre"'s defense, "Being a musical" isn't the sole reason the Disney Live-Action Remakes are failing. Although, replacing the iconic "Be Prepared!" with a longer version of "Hakuna Matata" didn't help its case.
Let's just be open. Remakes/reboots/live-action remakes and decades-later sequels are failing. I know writers cost money, but originality will help things.
@@metheus108 Remakes have been a hallmark of Hollywood for nearly a hundred years. The Maltese Falcon was a remake of a lesser known 1931 film, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde had A DIZEN ADAPTIONS BY 1941. The problem now is that generally bad writing. Coupled with wokism, have left Hollywood creatively, and soon to be financially bankrupt.
Turning one of their most iconic villain songs into a half-length spoken word poem that was half over before you even realise that it had started was a terrible idea. They obviously shoe-horned it in after the negative backlash to their announcement that they wouldn't have it in the film, but they couldn't even do that right.
@@mrbeastfan8079 well, that and the mess that is the current streaming landscape being one of many factors that combines with other factors to see people not going to theaters to watch stuff... and then not streaming it either, and consequently just... not watching it. Though that's not a uniquely Disney problem.

Honestly would have revived traditional animation had Disney tried at all to secure the rights for it. Universal might not be the right studio for this movie.
Warner Bros. claimed that they would be making animated films of Septeimus Heap once Harry Potter ended. Now, thirteen years later, not a single Septeimus Heap film has been released.
@@matthewcole4753 Disneyfilm isn't interested in traditional methods, even when they boasted that their CG movie Wish was "traditional". Give it to Sylvain Chomet or Ari Folman if you want traditional.
The Garfield movie is the only one that shouldn’t be here. You highly underestimate how many children, parents, and nostalgic adults are going to show up for this
This channel does get it wrong sometimes. They thought Puss n Boots: The Last Wish would bomb because of the poor receptions to Shrek 3 and 4 and the fact that The first Puss in Boots movie is not held in as high esteem as the first Shrek or How to Tame Your Dragon or Kung Fu Panda. Yet The Last Wish was one of the biggest surprises ever in how great it was.
@@jimmyboy7817 To be fair, I don't think anyone could predict how well The Last Wish would turn out to be. The trailers didn't excite most people and it was a years-late sequel to a spin-off to a franchise than ran out of steam years ago. It had everything going against it but somehow managed to capture lightning in a bottle.
Liam Neesan MIGHT be able to pull it off. He once did a skit where the character he played in Taken was auditioning to be a mall Santa. It was hysterical.
Garfield creator Jim Davis was a frustrated artist who cynically created Garfield in order to be marketable. It was never really meant to be funny, it was meant to be cute so people would buy stuff with Garfield on it. That’s why there’s endless film adaptations, toys, merchandise etc. no hate intended, make your money, dude
"Garfield" has done pretty well. It was ho-hum during its early years, but then it became VERY funny during the mid-'80s, when the tone shifted from satirical to cartoon zany. In the mid-'90s, however, Davis seemed to stop caring about it much, and the stories became not only boring but practically nonexistent. The strip still gets a chortle out of me now and then, but for the most part it's even less interesting than "Dilbert" - and that is saying something. An entire generation of kids has now grown up not thinking Garfield is a cool character. As with "The Simpsons," it's time to just let "Garfield" end.
@@SeasideDetective2 Garfield was my favorite growing up in the 90’s - I loved the tv adaptation, especially the Christmas special on the arbuckle farm. I just think the marketing ploy makes the endless adaptations make more sense
I had wondered as a youngster how much effect that had on Bill Watterson's legendary refusal to license C&H for anything at all. Mind you, that was pre-internet times, so all I could do was ask myself... but I didn't know anyway. I always wanted a stuffed Hobbes. This older version of me is glad to have never had one.
Yeah I felt like the reasons given here for whyt he Garfield film would bomb make no sense. A real reason would be less of actual Garfield in the film than one would like. But this is kind of like Mickey Mouse, it doesnt have to be true to the comic strip to sell.
that was like 5 years ago, they really have to scrape to get anything good. Specially with multiple daily videos, so are you surprised? if so, why are you still here? they are pandering to the lowest common denomination and here you are....so you make them think you like it by watching it...
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F should have gotten a theatrical release, not Netflix. And Fast X shouldn’t have ended on a cliffhanger. If they were to end it on a cliffhanger, then Fast X should have been filmed back-to-back with the previous one. As for Venom, I honestly didn’t mind the first two. I just hope they go out with a bang and not a whimper.
They put these cheesy movies on Netflix to save the 'Stars' from the embarassment of the box office results being public. Did you watch "You People"? It was awful. Or Atlas or The Mother with JLo?
I just saw the mini clip at the beginning of this video, and from that I thought there was a competing version of the Joker set to come out. At least I wasn't right... but that's about the same as being happy your sandwich doesn't have two pounds of live maggots in it.
my first experience with Neeson was Next of Kin as Patrick Swayze's Kentucky Cousin (Brother?) and then Darkman.. (although I didn't know it at the time -- I didn't know him by Name until Schindler's List and recognized him in Hindsight even then 'Taken' and his Direct to Video work felt like an active attempt to distance himself from the 'Awards Bait' Drama that he seemed to do for much of the 90s .
@@TJ52359 Darkman was the shit, hands down. It's too bad Neeson wasn't in the sequels, but I can't give Arnold Vosloo any hate because at least we got more Darkman out of it.
I've got no problem with musicals but turning Joker 2 into a musical after the story and tone of the first is a wild choice. But hey you never know, it could end up being a 10/10
Borderlands has all the signs of a failed movie, even just ignoring the concept, the character deviations, and casting choices. Like the fact that theyve had a set date for this movie for over a year now and we have seen so little promotion from it. Its here in a couple months and there's only been 1 trailer. And while Im all for less is more, since most trailers tend to spoil the whole movie. Gearbox hosts their own showcases dedicated to their IP and they never bring this movie up. They only did it like once 2-3 yrs ago in a pseudo behind the scenes walkaround.
@@raf686 I brought TLK because of Transformers Despite being an awful franchise, it made a fortune, so by the producers followed the same logic and believed that TLK was a safe bet, just because it was Transformers. But instead of being just another hit at the box-office, it became the lowest-grossing movie of Bay's saga
The Garfield argument made in this video is pretty funny considering how many adaptations that gave zero effs about the source material have been done in recent years.
I would argue that GArfield is the tye of character that a movie featuring him will not suffer at the box office due to departure from canon. It might still struggle, I dunno, but not for that reason.
@@kipolem53 I feel like what is being forgotten is that Garfield has had 2 cartoons since the 1980's and many TV specials. The first cartoon that aired from the late 1980's to mid 1990's, did deviate from the comic strip but also simultaneously took the beloved overweight feline on many crazy and outlandish adventures. I believe the second cartoon from the 2000's also did that as well. So I think a lot of parents, who were children during the time when the Garfield and Friends cartoon was in syndication, are going to take their kids to watch this movie simply because they remember the cartoon very fondly. The movie may not do gangbusters but it will likely be in it for the long haul and will stick around in theaters for at least half of the summer before it hits streaming platforms. So I see the movie at least breaking even before it leaves theaters and then make up the rest of money in DVD and streaming sales.
Some of my co-worker's and I had a conversation a while back about The Crow reboot and we all agreed that it shouldn't be made concidering what happened to Brandon Lee on the set of the first movie (he got shot with a gun that was supposed to be full of blanks). R.I.P.
Rest in Peace to Brandon but his death is not a reason for creators to not take a stab at The Crow again. It was a comic before it was a movie and if someone wants to adapt it they should be able to.
It was full of blanks. The metal that was in the barrel (for safety) broke loose and killed him. I remember that night watching the news and them reporting he'd been shot only to report 15 mins later he was dead.
_The Crow_ had multiple sequels and a TV series, all of which rode the success of the Brandon Lee film. No idea why this one entry is suddenly crossing a line.
They made a 2D animated Garfield show that I watched as a kid that actually held up well to the source material. We have it on DVD because my brother still likes to watch it every now and again.

it didn't do good, I have no idea what movie that even is. But compared to their budget, they made 152m which really isn't great. So it to me is a flop. You can make money and still be a flop.

I feel sorry for "The Crow". It has so much potential but it's never going to fulfill it. It really should be a different Crow every Halloween night. The Devil offers a return to life with power to take revenge to an innocent, wronged, soul every Halloween. It's his little gift to himself.
@@DavidGowers He returns to the world of the living on Halloween night with super powers? The "Devil" isn't named specifically but the supernatural is obviously referenced even if that reference remains intentionally vague.
Hold on, "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey" made $5.2 *million* on a budget of $50k... Not exactly a "failure" no matter how much you dislike the film. So I can absolutely see why the studio would go and make a bunch more, no matter how terrible the movie is...
I actually think Liam Neeson is perfect for a Naked Gun reboot. He basically just has to act exactly like he does in his action films while saying purposly ridiculous dialog.
I learned that way before with the Naked gun films and other comedy films, he take serious or villain roles. I was surprised that he one of the many actors can work really well to play opposites by character or tone, just like how many once believed Micheal Keaton won’t be taken seriously as Batman.
The writing is gonna be what makes or breaks the Naked Gun reboot. Liam Neeson is quite capable of being funny but if the writers give him bs, it won't be good.
I read somewhere that Leslie nielson was almost completely humorless and didn't get any of the jokes. he was a perfect straightman because he thought the whole thing was stupid and unfunny and simply did as instructed...then was genuinely surprised by the success
Frankly, kudos to the creators of the Garfield movie for finding literally Anything that wasn't already part of canon after 40 years of writing. It's a terrible idea, but it's kind of impressive that they were able to make that mistake.
Don't. They might take it as a challenge. Who knows, now they might want to explore what happens if Jim and Liz get into a raging custody battle... over a cat..
Oh no, it IS different! See, the bad guy has immediate mastery over the skill, but the good guy had to go through some sort of training montages. Totally different.

You are going to be so wrong about Garfield bombing. It caters to kids and families, and in a style that is easy on the eyes and a great cast. This is the worst take you've probably ever had.
Right? It's SO not my bag, but I can see it doing massive business among parents with young kids. I won't go see it but there'll be a LOT of people who will, and I hope it does well. Even if just to piss off haters
Garfield did surprisingly well at the box office. Its predicted box office was on the low side but it also had a modest production and advertising budget when compared to many other films mentioned on this list. It’s definitely turned a profit for the studio so look forward to Garfield 2 😅
Garfield might actually be good, I mean Super Mario Bros was. As long as the movie is entertaining then it doesn't matter Chris Pratt is voicing the main character.
Wicked's long run time/ split into a two-parter is down to it being based on the book that the musical is based on, it'll be combining both to bring the songs to the meatier narrative of the book.
Yeah, that’s why I don’t have much faith in it. Fans of the book are probably going to think it misses the point and fans of the musical are probably going to find it the tone too dark and lifeless.
Um wicked was a book before it was a musical. The movie is an adaptation of the book using parts from the musical(which was also an adaptation of the book) but for one that has seen the musical, read the books, and seen the trailer is obvious they are including a lot more from the book. Thus why is going to be more than one movie.
I was highly skeptical of any of these movies being doomed, but then you mentioned Venom and I immediately knew that you had no idea what you were talking about.
I mean….you guys included Free Guy, Super Mario Bros and The Beekeeper on previous iterations of these lists back in the day, and we all saw how they turned out at the box office. 🤷🏻♂️ Your track record isn’t the best either these lists.
The only way I can see Wicked possibly working is if they add in a lot of scenes originally from the books. (Tho not sure if political goat murder could save this? Maybe?)
Garfield: Totally missing the fact that kids don’t care about the source material. And kid tickets cost just as much as adult tickets. Wicked: Wide appeal? No. Theater freaks seeing it 4 times in a week? Yes. Venom: Typical 3rd film drop, but not Morbius level drop.
Who cares about kids not caring. They aren't the ones buying the ticket. The real problem is that these decisions are being made by people who were more out of touch than I currently am when I was still a kid.
I’ve wanted to see Wicked on the big screen since I first heard the soundtrack! I don’t have high hopes for the movie. There was no reason why it had to be split in half. Musicals have a hard enough time as it is. A two parter? If it’s a blockbuster I’ll be surprised.
I haven’t seen Wicked, so maybe I’m missing something, but it seems entirely reasonable to me that a 150 minute play would (and arguably should) be made into two movies. 1: A two and a half hour movie is too long for many audiences 2: Films tend to focus more on drawn out scenes to fully display an actor’s emotion vs telling you via song 3: The settings are so much more interesting to look at in film than on stage that it would be straight-up weird if there weren’t plenty of scenes without dialogue that just displayed the majesty of OZ, which would at to the running time
Having seen the theatre production of Wicked in London, I can tell you that a single movie would work just fine; after all, there are many other films that have long shots of the setting with little to no dialogue (LOTR), have been 2.5 hours long (again, LOTR), and have used a mixture of dialogue and songs to tell the story (Les Miserables). I'm actually excited to see the film when it releases in the cinema, and I'd like it to do well personally - given the success of Les Miserables (which is also a film adaptation of a play), they should be able to do it justice.
The year that I went to the movies the most often in recent years was 2020. As the Covid restrictions loosened, the area drive in opened late in the summer and went to see movies like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, and Jaws. During the past ten years I average going to the movies once per year.
It always amuses me that so many people blame Disney for the drop in quality of the Star Wars franchise, seemingly forgetting the absolute slog the Prequel Trilogy was as well as many of the glaring plot and character development issues in the Original Trilogy. Its definitely a franchise where nostalgia dominates the mindset of many. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the franchise, it's a fun series of sci-fi films and shows that follow well-established tropes whilst making them (for the most part) engaging and enjoyable to lose yourself in for a few hours.
This list as aged really bad (the video came out last night😆). Garfield came out on 1/4 of the european markets and already made almost all its budget back (40 millions) and it's getting great reviews from critics. This will easily be a success😅
The problem with most of the musicals you mentioned as recent failures is that they've all been "reboots" or "reimaginings" or outright rewrites of beloved classic films, done in ways that seem to have almost intentionally shocked, annoyed, and disappointed fans of the far superior originals.
Ok, let’s get order correct Wicked the musical is based on the 1st book in a series by Gregory Maguire. The 4 books are Wicked, Son of A Witch, A Lion Among Men, and Out of OZ. Now there were some interesting changes that the musical made to the source material. Honestly the book was phenomenal and I would prefer a more faithful adaptation.
I tried to read that book. I felt it was way too serious and dreary. I guess I was spoiled by having heard the musical first and was expecting something like that. I got about two thirds of the way through before I just trashed it.
Given how far the musical veers from the book, and the fact that the book doesn't align at all with the Wizard of Oz timeline, mixing these will cause a tonal and narrative mess. I was hoping a film adaption would fix the pacing of the second act but any conceivable fix would not support an entire film. I think production is worried though. Marc Platt's last two musicals (Dear Evan Hanson and CATS) were disasters, precisely because they didn't address the known issues and instead went for neopotism and spectacle. They've announced a behind-the-scenes TV special that airs before the movie releases. Seems kind of desperate after all the promo they've done. In hindsight they probably shouldn't have cast two leads known for breaking up marriages in a story focusing on selfless acts for friendship. I was so excited when they announced but since the cheating scandal, there's no way I'm going to pay to see Ethan Slater smirk for 2 hours in two different sittings.
Joker needs at least approx $600 million just to break even! Why is this so difficult for access media to work out? You say it needs $400 million to be profitabe. If Joker costs $200 million to make and makes $400 million at the box office which after their cut (approx 50%) leaves them with $200 million, then factor in marketing approx $100 million or more leaves the studio with $100 million, they'll need another $200 million or more extra just to break even. So $600 million or there abouts would be the break even point!
The Wicked trailer looks like the movie is going to adapt both stories of the Wicked musical AND the Wizard of Oz. If it is going to be a two-parter then that could be why.
The only ones that I agree with is number 10(Horror Bambi) and number 1(you do a Crow movie with another character than Eric Draven). The rest of this list is just wishful thinking on this channel's behalf.
I was really into broadway when the "In the Heights" movie released. I had most of the songs on the broadway show memorized. I loved the surreal stuff, but I was not fond of a lot of the story changes. They also ruined my favorite song, "No Me Diga" and made weird choices like giving the Queens-born Carla a latin accent, while the PR born-and-raised Daniela was lacking one. They could have given NEITHER of them accents (other than NY based ones, I mean) and that would have been fine, but to switch them around without switching around their backstories is weird. I seriously will not forgive them for what they did to "No Me Diga", though. Especially the end. Essentially the OPPOSITE of how people reacted to Nina dropping out in the play. "I bet she got a bun in the oven". Screw you, made-for-the-movie girl whose name I can't even remember because she was so unnecessary. The ending was way better on the movie, though. I always skipped the finale on the soundtrack once I knew what it meant plot-wise. It was kind of boring. I'm glad they actually ramped it up. Speaking of which, Vanessa was better on the movie, too. I mean, her character, not her intro song which seemed to contradict what was actually happening on screen. And cute. In the show, I just felt like she was a mean girl like the type that would have tormented me in high school, but in the movie, she was actually someone I'd want to see get with Usnavi. I'm saying all this to say I hope they don't mess up Wicked. By mess it up, I really mean make it too much like the books. The books were edgelord garbage, and the musicals are timeless classics.

Not sure I'd agree that Eddie Murphy broke it big with Beverley Hills Cop, he was already huge thanks to 48 Hours and Trading Places.

I got something to say: I think there should BE no reboot to "The Crow" I think the film is better the way it is!
you know there was a lot of them, right?
Sadly, there were several reboots, copying almost everything from the original and diluting the effects of the story. These reboots, and the almost non--stop Spiderman reboots, have given me grave doubts about Hollywood's ability to create and invest in original storylines.
@@lfcbpro I know there were a lot of 1990s movies which billed themselves as "Crow 2" and the like but they are abominable.
@@zimriel wow yeah, they were beyond bad.
The first was pretty much perfect, but the follow ups were just a crime, lol.
That would require Hollywood "creatives" to come up with something original, which is clearly beyond their powers.
When I first heard they were remaking The Crow, I was like, "Noooo!!!". Then they revealed Bill Skarsgård was going to be starring, I was like, "...okay, you have my attention". But when they revealed his look, I was like, "...NOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
Lol 😆
But yes, nobody asked for a remake of The Crow.
Bill's a great actor but I definitely do not see that individual playing that part it just doesn't work Brandon Lee made it his own. If you watch how badly the second and third installment of the original crow did It's pretty obvious that series died with Brandon Lee.
@@Arctic_1975 Yeah, I refuse to watch the sequels or TV show. But I totally believe you. They could never really replace him.
@FoggyBadger tv show wasn't bad, actually.
Ya, the look is kinda 90's Goth looking. And not in a good way.
Leslie Nelson was also seen as a serious actor and not a comedian before doing Airplane so I say we give Neason a chance before saying the movie is doom and I thought he was funny in Ted
I believe it's the same with Lloyd Bridges. Also Neilson was 58 when he switched over to comedy so yeah your right give him a fucking chance lol
Not only that, he has been in 2 comedies and his dry humor is perfect for that parst!
eh no thanks, not for me. I didn't like Airplane and the last 100 spoof movies that came out recently bombed, we just don't care about spoof movies. That's the type of stuff we see at school plays. If I want to see a lame movie, I will do that. But if I want something great right away, I will chose not to see something that looks so very disappointing
you do you, some people like garbage. Some people don't notice it's garbage until others peel off that golden candy wrapper to show a melted moldy chocolate egg under neath the gold.

It's not that Star Wars fans don't want more Star Wars, it's that the crap Disney has been doing is ruining Star Wars. All blame starts with Kathleen Kennedy, her horrible leadership, her complete lack of vision, and the people who she keeps putting as directors and writers.

Didn't we learn from trivia pages just like this one that Leslie Nielsen was a serious dramatist throughout his prime? Bet Liam was chosen for the same reason!
Leslie Nielson was picked for AIRPLANE due to being a serious dramatist, just as many other serious actors were picked for that film.
Police Squad was released in 83, The Naked Gun in 88 - He'd already proven his comedic chops when he got the role of Frank Drebbin!
He was also significantly YOUNGER than Liam Neeson who is 71, Nielson was only 67 when he made Naked Gun 3 in 94!
Neeson was picked because he's a big name - If they were going to even attempt this they'd have been far better off with David Duchovny, Colin Firth or Antonio Banderas who are all 63 and have all shown talent for comedy!
He's funny in the movie Gun Shy, @@franohmsford7548
Granted the tone of its humor is much more subdued, though.
Leslienielsen is funny even in non comedic movie.
‘Handled with care and finesse’ while showing the Rock in a deer onesie shooting guns. Nice touch
honestly, Id rather take the Rocks gritty take than what they will inevitably release.
That Bambi SNL skit was one of the few things The Rock acted well in...
In the "Musical Genre"'s defense, "Being a musical" isn't the sole reason the Disney Live-Action Remakes are failing. Although, replacing the iconic "Be Prepared!" with a longer version of "Hakuna Matata" didn't help its case.
Let's just be open. Remakes/reboots/live-action remakes and decades-later sequels are failing. I know writers cost money, but originality will help things.
The reason they are failing is because disney is refusing to try any thing original
@@metheus108
Remakes have been a hallmark of Hollywood for nearly a hundred years. The Maltese Falcon was a remake of a lesser known 1931 film, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde had A DIZEN ADAPTIONS BY 1941.
The problem now is that generally bad writing. Coupled with wokism, have left Hollywood creatively, and soon to be financially bankrupt.
Turning one of their most iconic villain songs into a half-length spoken word poem that was half over before you even realise that it had started was a terrible idea. They obviously shoe-horned it in after the negative backlash to their announcement that they wouldn't have it in the film, but they couldn't even do that right.
@@mrbeastfan8079 well, that and the mess that is the current streaming landscape being one of many factors that combines with other factors to see people not going to theaters to watch stuff... and then not streaming it either, and consequently just... not watching it.

I'll never go to another Star Wars film. I've learned my lesson.
The first trilogy was so great that a zillion crappy movies have made money.
No hate. Just don’t care.
The Garfield movie is the only one that shouldn’t be here. You highly underestimate how many children, parents, and nostalgic adults are going to show up for this
Yep I'd say Garfield will be fine. Hey, maybe Pizza Goldfish is the perfect snack for eating while watching it.
This channel does get it wrong sometimes. They thought Puss n Boots: The Last Wish would bomb because of the poor receptions to Shrek 3 and 4 and the fact that The first Puss in Boots movie is not held in as high esteem as the first Shrek or How to Tame Your Dragon or Kung Fu Panda. Yet The Last Wish was one of the biggest surprises ever in how great it was.
@@jimmyboy7817 To be fair, I don't think anyone could predict how well The Last Wish would turn out to be. The trailers didn't excite most people and it was a years-late sequel to a spin-off to a franchise than ran out of steam years ago. It had everything going against it but somehow managed to capture lightning in a bottle.
This aged like milk...
It had a comparatively small budget. The studio has already sold it to Netflix …so it’s already broken even ( as I type this on Monday evening)
Liam Neesan MIGHT be able to pull it off. He once did a skit where the character he played in Taken was auditioning to be a mall Santa. It was hysterical.
Garfield creator Jim Davis was a frustrated artist who cynically created Garfield in order to be marketable. It was never really meant to be funny, it was meant to be cute so people would buy stuff with Garfield on it. That’s why there’s endless film adaptations, toys, merchandise etc. no hate intended, make your money, dude
"Garfield" has done pretty well. It was ho-hum during its early years, but then it became VERY funny during the mid-'80s, when the tone shifted from satirical to cartoon zany. In the mid-'90s, however, Davis seemed to stop caring about it much, and the stories became not only boring but practically nonexistent. The strip still gets a chortle out of me now and then, but for the most part it's even less interesting than "Dilbert" - and that is saying something. An entire generation of kids has now grown up not thinking Garfield is a cool character. As with "The Simpsons," it's time to just let "Garfield" end.
@@SeasideDetective2 Garfield was my favorite growing up in the 90’s - I loved the tv adaptation, especially the Christmas special on the arbuckle farm. I just think the marketing ploy makes the endless adaptations make more sense
I had wondered as a youngster how much effect that had on Bill Watterson's legendary refusal to license C&H for anything at all.
Mind you, that was pre-internet times, so all I could do was ask myself... but I didn't know anyway.
I always wanted a stuffed Hobbes. This older version of me is glad to have never had one.
Ridiculously stupid. Garfield started in 1976. Nobody back then was thinking about merchandising.
Yeah I felt like the reasons given here for whyt he Garfield film would bomb make no sense. A real reason would be less of actual Garfield in the film than one would like. But this is kind of like Mickey Mouse, it doesnt have to be true to the comic strip to sell.

My first memory of Liam Neeson was in a comedy movie called High Spirits. I thought him doing action movies was him trying to get away from comedy.
my first experience with Neeson was Next of Kin as Patrick Swayze's Kentucky Cousin (Brother?) and then Darkman.. (although I didn't know it at the time
-- I didn't know him by Name until Schindler's List and recognized him in Hindsight
even then 'Taken' and his Direct to Video work felt like an active attempt to distance himself from the 'Awards Bait' Drama that he seemed to do for much of the 90s

@@TJ52359 Darkman was the shit, hands down. It's too bad Neeson wasn't in the sequels, but I can't give Arnold Vosloo any hate because at least we got more Darkman out of it.

@whiskeyvictor5703 You know, it was on TV all the time when I was a kid, but I forgot he was even in Krull.
I've got no problem with musicals but turning Joker 2 into a musical after the story and tone of the first is a wild choice. But hey you never know, it could end up being a 10/10
It's not a musical, this has been corrected by the director as a quote taken out of context.. but you know.. got to make a list somehow.
I feel it's either going to be great, or end up in the realm of "so bad it's good".
I haven't been keeping up with the Joker 2 news, but what if the musical aspects are some kind of fever-dream sequence? That could work really well.
It could be the next Dancer in the Dark, which was phenomenal and sinister as fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I know it won't be a 10 out 10. It's got Lady Gaga in it. That's worse idea than putting Anya Taylor-Joy in a MadMax movie.

Borderlands has all the signs of a failed movie, even just ignoring the concept, the character deviations, and casting choices.
Like the fact that theyve had a set date for this movie for over a year now and we have seen so little promotion from it. Its here in a couple months and there's only been 1 trailer. And while Im all for less is more, since most trailers tend to spoil the whole movie. Gearbox hosts their own showcases dedicated to their IP and they never bring this movie up. They only did it like once 2-3 yrs ago in a pseudo behind the scenes walkaround.
Probably because some people weren't ok with what has been shown in the trailer, i'd guess...
Why does it sound like every. Single. Line. Of this video sound like it was recorded separately? Sounds like fucking AI...!
The Crow WAS Brandon Lee, and always will be. Out of respect for him, there should never be any remake.

Despite being an awful franchise, it made a fortune, so by the producers followed the same logic and believed that TLK was a safe bet, just because it was Transformers.

The Garfield argument made in this video is pretty funny considering how many adaptations that gave zero effs about the source material have been done in recent years.
I would argue that GArfield is the tye of character that a movie featuring him will not suffer at the box office due to departure from canon. It might still struggle, I dunno, but not for that reason.
@@kipolem53 I feel like what is being forgotten is that Garfield has had 2 cartoons since the 1980's and many TV specials. The first cartoon that aired from the late 1980's to mid 1990's, did deviate from the comic strip but also simultaneously took the beloved overweight feline on many crazy and outlandish adventures. I believe the second cartoon from the 2000's also did that as well. So I think a lot of parents, who were children during the time when the Garfield and Friends cartoon was in syndication, are going to take their kids to watch this movie simply because they remember the cartoon very fondly. The movie may not do gangbusters but it will likely be in it for the long haul and will stick around in theaters for at least half of the summer before it hits streaming platforms. So I see the movie at least breaking even before it leaves theaters and then make up the rest of money in DVD and streaming sales.
Some of my co-worker's and I had a conversation a while back about The Crow reboot and we all agreed that it shouldn't be made concidering what happened to Brandon Lee on the set of the first movie (he got shot with a gun that was supposed to be full of blanks). R.I.P.
Rest in Peace to Brandon but his death is not a reason for creators to not take a stab at The Crow again. It was a comic before it was a movie and if someone wants to adapt it they should be able to.
It was full of blanks. The metal that was in the barrel (for safety) broke loose and killed him. I remember that night watching the news and them reporting he'd been shot only to report 15 mins later he was dead.
_The Crow_ had multiple sequels and a TV series, all of which rode the success of the Brandon Lee film. No idea why this one entry is suddenly crossing a line.
They made a 2D animated Garfield show that I watched as a kid that actually held up well to the source material. We have it on DVD because my brother still likes to watch it every now and again.
Hell yeah, with Lorenzo Music as Garfield!

Hold on, "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey" made $5.2 *million* on a budget of $50k... Not exactly a "failure" no matter how much you dislike the film. So I can absolutely see why the studio would go and make a bunch more, no matter how terrible the movie is...
It was a failure to make it in the first place. Sequels or follow-ons almost always cost more.
I actually think Liam Neeson is perfect for a Naked Gun reboot. He basically just has to act exactly like he does in his action films while saying purposly ridiculous dialog.
Isn't that what Leslie Nielson basically did?
I learned that way before with the Naked gun films and other comedy films, he take serious or villain roles. I was surprised that he one of the many actors can work really well to play opposites by character or tone, just like how many once believed Micheal Keaton won’t be taken seriously as Batman.
The writing is gonna be what makes or breaks the Naked Gun reboot. Liam Neeson is quite capable of being funny but if the writers give him bs, it won't be good.
I read somewhere that Leslie nielson was almost completely humorless and didn't get any of the jokes.
he was a perfect straightman because he thought the whole thing was stupid and unfunny and simply did as instructed...then was genuinely surprised by the success
Frankly, kudos to the creators of the Garfield movie for finding literally Anything that wasn't already part of canon after 40 years of writing. It's a terrible idea, but it's kind of impressive that they were able to make that mistake.

You are going to be so wrong about Garfield bombing. It caters to kids and families, and in a style that is easy on the eyes and a great cast. This is the worst take you've probably ever had.
Right? It's SO not my bag, but I can see it doing massive business among parents with young kids. I won't go see it but there'll be a LOT of people who will, and I hope it does well. Even if just to piss off haters
Right, I thought it was a cute family movie I wouldn’t mind watching, that’s the type of nostalgia people like.
Garfield did surprisingly well at the box office. Its predicted box office was on the low side but it also had a modest production and advertising budget when compared to many other films mentioned on this list.
It’s definitely turned a profit for the studio so look forward to Garfield 2 😅
Garfield might actually be good, I mean Super Mario Bros was. As long as the movie is entertaining then it doesn't matter Chris Pratt is voicing the main character.
Venom and the sequel made money because they were both enjoyable movies to watch. I watched the both I enjoyed them
Wicked's long run time/ split into a two-parter is down to it being based on the book that the musical is based on, it'll be combining both to bring the songs to the meatier narrative of the book.
Yeah, that’s why I don’t have much faith in it. Fans of the book are probably going to think it misses the point and fans of the musical are probably going to find it the tone too dark and lifeless.
I still have hope for The Naked Gun reboot. I think with enough effort from the director and Liam Neeson, this can be a good film or reboot.
I’m reserving judgment on “Garfield”. 🤔
Um wicked was a book before it was a musical. The movie is an adaptation of the book using parts from the musical(which was also an adaptation of the book) but for one that has seen the musical, read the books, and seen the trailer is obvious they are including a lot more from the book. Thus why is going to be more than one movie.
Bambi looks good,from what I saw.
I was highly skeptical of any of these movies being doomed, but then you mentioned Venom and I immediately knew that you had no idea what you were talking about.
bambi:the reckoning? they should have made the SNL version of bambi.
Did you have a cup of coffee between each sentence? 😂
Not that I disagree, but oddly the Garfield movie made $91M globally. Not sure it's doomed.
The "Twisted ChiIdhood Universe" is literally what I filmed as an edgy high schooler.
I mean….you guys included Free Guy, Super Mario Bros and The Beekeeper on previous iterations of these lists back in the day, and we all saw how they turned out at the box office. 🤷🏻♂️
Your track record isn’t the best either these lists.
they all sucked, all those movies blows. You guys will pay money to watch some one eat garbage. Society really has been dumbed down haven't they.
The only way I can see Wicked possibly working is if they add in a lot of scenes originally from the books. (Tho not sure if political goat murder could save this? Maybe?)
disagree with you on Wicked - it's gonna be a huge hit.
and the musical has an act1 & act11 with a break between. The film is following that
Garfield: Totally missing the fact that kids don’t care about the source material. And kid tickets cost just as much as adult tickets.
Wicked: Wide appeal? No. Theater freaks seeing it 4 times in a week? Yes.
Venom: Typical 3rd film drop, but not Morbius level drop.
Who cares about kids not caring. They aren't the ones buying the ticket. The real problem is that these decisions are being made by people who were more out of touch than I currently am when I was still a kid.
It is an insult and blasphemy do remake The Crow.
I’ve wanted to see Wicked on the big screen since I first heard the soundtrack! I don’t have high hopes for the movie. There was no reason why it had to be split in half. Musicals have a hard enough time as it is. A two parter? If it’s a blockbuster I’ll be surprised.
I haven’t seen Wicked, so maybe I’m missing something, but it seems entirely reasonable to me that a 150 minute play would (and arguably should) be made into two movies.
1: A two and a half hour movie is too long for many audiences
2: Films tend to focus more on drawn out scenes to fully display an actor’s emotion vs telling you via song
3: The settings are so much more interesting to look at in film than on stage that it would be straight-up weird if there weren’t plenty of scenes without dialogue that just displayed the majesty of OZ, which would at to the running time
Having seen the theatre production of Wicked in London, I can tell you that a single movie would work just fine; after all, there are many other films that have long shots of the setting with little to no dialogue (LOTR), have been 2.5 hours long (again, LOTR), and have used a mixture of dialogue and songs to tell the story (Les Miserables). I'm actually excited to see the film when it releases in the cinema, and I'd like it to do well personally - given the success of Les Miserables (which is also a film adaptation of a play), they should be able to do it justice.
The year that I went to the movies the most often in recent years was 2020. As the Covid restrictions loosened, the area drive in opened late in the summer and went to see movies like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, and Jaws. During the past ten years I average going to the movies once per year.
You put too much faith in people, most of these will be alright, because social media pressure and FOMO( Even for trash) is real
1:55 Tf you mean REASONABLY entertaining? Garfield is fking comedy GOLD!!
*"Ted"* is more Garfield than Garfield.
Nah, that's a ridiculous statement. Ted is more like Paddington plus the Ted movies are overrated imo.
@@ihavethecorrectopinion8754i agree. I like Seth McFarlane but his live-action movies are never really any good imo
@@HelloMyNameIsRED Yes Seth has a bad track record with live action movies. I never cared for Ted and I would much rather just Family Guy.
Garfield almost beat Furiosa at the box office 😂😂😂
I think Beverly Hills Cop-Axel F, looks good.
Please, refrain from including in this list movies that haven't started filming. Until then, they will only sound like a bad idea, hopefully.
Meh. I'll still watch what I want to watch.
You cannot get Star Wars fans back without a surgical retcon of the Disney Star Wars work... Namely an amputation of all of their films.
People already said that about the Special Editions and the Prequels.
The original "Crow" WAS, goth John Wick.
In 2024, to be a "fan" is to be a resource that gets exploited, and your nostalgia is weaponized against you.
It always amuses me that so many people blame Disney for the drop in quality of the Star Wars franchise, seemingly forgetting the absolute slog the Prequel Trilogy was as well as many of the glaring plot and character development issues in the Original Trilogy. Its definitely a franchise where nostalgia dominates the mindset of many. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the franchise, it's a fun series of sci-fi films and shows that follow well-established tropes whilst making them (for the most part) engaging and enjoyable to lose yourself in for a few hours.
If you have to bring up tropes than your part of the problem.
Well this aged poorly. Wicked has smashed the box office...
I am a huge huge Wicked fan there are so many plot point differences from the book (much darker) and the musical is family friendly
This list as aged really bad (the video came out last night😆).
Garfield came out on 1/4 of the european markets and already made almost all its budget back (40 millions) and it's getting great reviews from critics. This will easily be a success😅
There is no ‘super hero fatigue’. There is woke script fatigue for all films. Hollywood is on deep financial trouble across the board because of this.
The problem with most of the musicals you mentioned as recent failures is that they've all been "reboots" or "reimaginings" or outright rewrites of beloved classic films, done in ways that seem to have almost intentionally shocked, annoyed, and disappointed fans of the far superior originals.
Ok, let’s get order correct Wicked the musical is based on the 1st book in a series by Gregory Maguire. The 4 books are Wicked, Son of A Witch, A Lion Among Men, and Out of OZ. Now there were some interesting changes that the musical made to the source material. Honestly the book was phenomenal and I would prefer a more faithful adaptation.
I tried to read that book. I felt it was way too serious and dreary. I guess I was spoiled by having heard the musical first and was expecting something like that. I got about two thirds of the way through before I just trashed it.
Given how far the musical veers from the book, and the fact that the book doesn't align at all with the Wizard of Oz timeline, mixing these will cause a tonal and narrative mess. I was hoping a film adaption would fix the pacing of the second act but any conceivable fix would not support an entire film. I think production is worried though. Marc Platt's last two musicals (Dear Evan Hanson and CATS) were disasters, precisely because they didn't address the known issues and instead went for neopotism and spectacle. They've announced a behind-the-scenes TV special that airs before the movie releases. Seems kind of desperate after all the promo they've done. In hindsight they probably shouldn't have cast two leads known for breaking up marriages in a story focusing on selfless acts for friendship. I was so excited when they announced but since the cheating scandal, there's no way I'm going to pay to see Ethan Slater smirk for 2 hours in two different sittings.
Joker needs at least approx $600 million just to break even! Why is this so difficult for access media to work out? You say it needs $400 million to be profitabe. If Joker costs $200 million to make and makes $400 million at the box office which after their cut (approx 50%) leaves them with $200 million, then factor in marketing approx $100 million or more leaves the studio with $100 million, they'll need another $200 million or more extra just to break even. So $600 million or there abouts would be the break even point!
The Wicked trailer looks like the movie is going to adapt both stories of the Wicked musical AND the Wizard of Oz. If it is going to be a two-parter then that could be why.
I hate musicals.
There’s a special place in hell for people who would turn Winnie the Pooh into a horror film
The only ones that I agree with is number 10(Horror Bambi) and number 1(you do a Crow movie with another character than Eric Draven). The rest of this list is just wishful thinking on this channel's behalf.
I was really into broadway when the "In the Heights" movie released. I had most of the songs on the broadway show memorized. I loved the surreal stuff, but I was not fond of a lot of the story changes. They also ruined my favorite song, "No Me Diga" and made weird choices like giving the Queens-born Carla a latin accent, while the PR born-and-raised Daniela was lacking one. They could have given NEITHER of them accents (other than NY based ones, I mean) and that would have been fine, but to switch them around without switching around their backstories is weird.
I seriously will not forgive them for what they did to "No Me Diga", though. Especially the end. Essentially the OPPOSITE of how people reacted to Nina dropping out in the play. "I bet she got a bun in the oven". Screw you, made-for-the-movie girl whose name I can't even remember because she was so unnecessary.
The ending was way better on the movie, though. I always skipped the finale on the soundtrack once I knew what it meant plot-wise. It was kind of boring. I'm glad they actually ramped it up. Speaking of which, Vanessa was better on the movie, too. I mean, her character, not her intro song which seemed to contradict what was actually happening on screen. And cute. In the show, I just felt like she was a mean girl like the type that would have tormented me in high school, but in the movie, she was actually someone I'd want to see get with Usnavi.
I'm saying all this to say I hope they don't mess up Wicked. By mess it up, I really mean make it too much like the books. The books were edgelord garbage, and the musicals are timeless classics.
