i don't put it past them, if it would actually be profitable for them. but it's not hollywood. it's just disney. no other studio is gonna go along with that, so even if it is happening, it's just gonna be disney. but it looks like a complete conspiracy theory with no real basis, if you actually give it any kind of scrutiny. but it is fun to float, for people who want to see captain marvel fail because of brie larson.Jason wrote:I'm not in the know with the box office allegations, but when she started her leftist, lecturing-tirade, it became highly speculated that the film would do poorly coupled with the fact that a lot of actual die hard Marvel fans weren't even all that excited about it regardless of politics.

well, sure. stranglehold. but if you want actually discuss how they would do something like that, and the cost of it, and why they would for captain marvel only. that would be great. otherwise, it's just trying to float a baseless rumor.Reign in Blood wrote:The shadiness of Disney and their stranglehold on things is well known.

cause i've only heard it for captain marvel. which other films are a possibility? why not do it for solo, if you're gonna do it at all? that kind of bombed, for a star wars flick.Reign in Blood wrote:First off, why do you think for captain marvel only?

i don;t know how much it really makes, only how much is reported by people who aren't disney. if those numbers are increased beyond what is actually paid for, it's on theater owners? if more tickets are bought than moviegoers who attend then that would be on disney, most likely. which is it?

More than rumors. Theater managers have spoken up about how the showings are sold out, but when they look in on the seats during the show, there's 20-30 spots open. They state this is NOT a normal thing, people usually show up for seats they pay for.Jason wrote:Hearing rumors that they're stuffing the box with phony numbers.

so about $160-ish, on the lower end, for even just one theater. how many owners reported that? is it more than one area or even more than one state?DancesWithWerewolves wrote:More than rumors.
