Paul Mescal Says It Would Be “Amazing” If ‘Gladiator II’ and ‘Wicked’ Replicated Barbenheimer

[stewie_e]

While it seems like #Barbenheimer was one of those phenomenons that will never be replicated, #GladiatorII and #WickedPartOne have a chance to bring the same friendly competition to the big screen later this year. Paul Mescal is here for it: https://t.co/QNNSLJWV6v pic.twitter.com/Fj1x3WRdli

Gladiator actually needs it cause I think their budget got inflated cause of the strikes.

[war_machine_rox]

Cuz of the strikes or because of Ridley Scott? Lol

Probably cuz of the strikes.

The strikes caused filming to be suspended from July 2023 and didn't resume until Dec 2023. I think I heard~ that it made sure the crews were paid throughout the pause.

I believe it. I was mostly trying to make a Ridley Scott joke 🫠

you gotta get tumblr involved somehow since barbieheimer spawned from there, and somehow i doubt it'll happen again.

I don't care a lick about either of these movies, but bringing back the concept of a double feature is actually a great way to drive people to the cinema. A discount if you see both movies, etc etc.

Going to the theatre to see a movie is so expensive and it just feels like such a bummer now. I loved going to $2 Tuesdays with friends back in the day. My friends and I used to go to movies constantly and I just can't imagine kids now being able to afford it, because I can't as a grown adult.

People are interested in movies, make it fun to go again!

You nailed it. Bring back double features.

Isn’t that what Alist and regal unlimited are for? I see 12 movies a month for $20.

There are 7,600,000,000 people in the world who do not live in the United States. Hard to believe, I know.
