Bob Iger blames The Marvels box office failure on being to free BTS

Bob Iger blames the underperformance of ‘THE MARVELS’ on the large volume of content making it difficult for execs to supervise.

“‘The Marvels’ was shot during COVID, and there wasn't enough supervision on set [from execs]”

there’s probably a lot of people waiting for it to hit disney+ (hi it’s me). going to the theater isn’t fun anymore for lots of people and covid is still a thing. plus why go to a theater and pay crazy money and be around annoying people when you can just wait a few months for it to stream from the comfort of your own home?? also superhero fatigue is real. this movie was setup to fail.

yup. I have been to the movie theaters once in six years. It's partially covid, but partially also, why go out, spend a ton of money only to have to share my space with the unwashed masses when I have a really nice big tv at home and I can pause it when I have to pee and I don't have to wear pants but I can do dabs off my giant bong

in comparison spending 8 dollars on a diet coke feels downright barbaric

Do people still go to movie theaters? I went to the hunger games prequel and besides two dudes nobody was there.

Yeah, the last time I saw a movie in a theater was for Barbie and the theater experience was really bad + ridiculously expensive. I'd much rather watch a movie at home.

MTE! Plus, the cast couldn't even do the standard promo because of the strike so what did he expect?
