Not really. They were already going to have Batman in that time frame before it got delayed. They were gonna do Aquaman in fall 2018 and Batman in Holiday 2018. Now Aquaman is Holiday. They could release a smaller movie like Sirens or Batgirl in October 2018 and it wouldn't effect Aquaman

Depending when in October they would release their other movie, in my opinion.
First week / Early October 2018 ==> Mid-December 2018 = Would be reasonable I think. That gives their first movie around 2+ months to collect as much as possible
Late October 2018 ==> Mid-December 2018 = A month to a month and a half would hurt box office like you said (especially if reviews are abysmal)

The original Aquaman date was October 5th and it moved to December 21st. That's a ton of time between releases if they put another movie in the first date

infinity war - Han Solo - Incredibles 2 all come out 3 weeks apart and that's all disney
I think these studios just don't give a **** anymore. If you look at the 2018 release schedule from top to bottom it's hard to even imagine how all these films are supposed to make bank

I went to take a look at releases in summer 2018.
Seems like Ocean's Eight will be the odd one out......

Classic counter programming.
Kids and dad go to see the Bumblebee spin-off (
) and mom slides into Ocean's 8 it'll slowly make back it's budget just off that.

Yeah, I get the rationale behind it. But maybe it's because there was such backlash to the flop that was last year's Ghostbusters that has me thinking like thisClassic counter programming.

Then again, you maybe right. I don't think there are as many die-hard fans of the Ocean franchise than the GB franchise to cause a ruckus

Oceans 8s budget is probably really, really low, likely chump change in comparison to Ghostbusters $144m budget (before marketing) so it's rather risk free no matter when it releases.
Yea. Even look at Wonder Woman. The budget is like $100 million. So it doesn't need nearly the same kind of money to be seen as a success as a $175-$200 million movie. That was the mistake with ghostbusters. Regardless of how big McCarthy is, giving $150 million for that movie was stupid. But then again, it's Sony

zero interest in ocean's 8..
this is feeling very POTC-ish.. sometimes it's best to leave well enough alone
WW should have a 150ish budget.. DC needs that to be one of their big dogs.. their safe bets have to be the big 3 plus JL

Has their been any talk on here about a possible impending writer's strike?
If that actually happens a lot of these films are ******. Variety reported today that the studios are bracing themselves for the worst
last time we got Wolverine: Origins

There's something about plain white chicks like this with a little bit of thighs that I dig, like Maggie Siff.

27 is a good troll by Geoff because of Batman's first appearance.
I'm trying to figure out what 27 Batman character movies would be.
