As smart as he is, Torsten still does not understand the meaning of the word “tentative.”

Those schedules feel like they are are getting over crowded with comic property saturation. With so many films tentatively only allowing three weeks or so between other large releases I think there will be three outcomes. Those films are going to have to hit big and accumulate fast so it makes the money back it needs, hope the other film is a dud and cruise through it’s opening to continue it’s gains, or films will start cannibalizing their audiences by either genre burn out or audience market and a majority start doing lower than needed numbers for the share holders.

If people don’t have superhero fatigue now, they sure will a year from now. And even more so in two years. Looks like the Death of Cinema to me.

All these “Untitled DC” entries suggest that a release date is now more important than having a script, a director, a cast or a concept. They’ll worry about such trivial things later.

is there some rule that says one has to see every last movie on that list. just watch the ones that interest you. i’m planning on only seeing the marvel based movies (with the exception of the f.f., get it right or get out of the theaters), so that’s what, about three movies a year. little chance of superhero fatigue when going to the movies. it’s like saying too many companies make too many comic books, again just read the ones you like, disregard the rest. same thing with the movies. and as far as hollywood saturating the market, this is what they do. decades ago putting out tons of westerns, spy flicks, war flicks, musicals, biker movies, space movies, monster movies, etc,, while the genre is hot and when the genre cools down, they still make those types of movies, just much less of them. right now the novelty of seeing characters from the comic books on the big screen (especially cross-overs) is very popular (putting it mildly) , but in about six to ten years, who knows. always with the talk of the death of superhero movies, how about enjoying the ride while it lasts.

It’s really cool! Great post.

10/7/2016 Monster High Universal

Torsten, NO! This should not be anywhere near this list!

Has any movie with a release date announced more than two years in advance ever come out on the originally announced date?

@KentL
Sorry, but I celebrate geekery in all its forms!
Monster High is huge. I watched “Frights, Camera, Action!” a few months ago, and actually enjoyed it, even though I had no idea who the characters were.
Plus, there are original graphic novels, and some of the dolls come with comics!
So, if I ignore MH, I also ignore My Little Pony, Lego, GI Joe, Transformers…

But thanks for reading the entire list!

@BobH Avengers and CA:TFA both had date changes. A:AoU was dated back in August 2012.

thanks for doing this. this is crazy helpful.

I was just teasing, Torsten. My daughter was a huge Monster High fan until just recently (try as we might, they don’t stop growing up), so seeing it on the list gave me some night terrors in the day.

Justin?

the leader of the rats! Successionally, at any rate.

He's so handsome, just like on his reward poster!
