Don't get me wrong, I'm excited, but it says a lot about the current state of movies that next month I'm looking forward to Creed 3, Scream 6 and John Wick 4

Yeah, this seems to be the year of the tentpoles. One thing I miss about 2022 is that outside of Top Gun and The Batman, the best movies for the most part IMO were non-blockbusters. Best year for me in that department since 2019.

Really? What was your favorite of last year that wasn't a blockbuster.

Park Chan-wook’s ‘Decision to Leave’.

Many others:

All Quiet on the Western Front
The Banshees of Inisherin
Everything Everywhere All at Once
X
The Menu
TÁR
Bones & All
The Fallout

No blockbusters, not a single numerical value in a title, or a reboot in that list. :wow:

Interesting, never seen any of those but I want to get more into film so I'll check a few of them out or look into them.

Thanks for sharing.

also want to add , these studios do a TERRIBLE job of spacing out their movies. there have been plenty of dead weekends this year, yet they're releasing 6 would be blockbusters in March. :mindblown:

It's crazy looking at that March line-up and reflecting back to when them C to D-list Netflix movies were taking up theater screens in 2020. :scusthov::whew:

That's gonna be a wild month. Television side as well.
