@JoeyMagidson @AwardsRadar @mastersmovie I don't really get the praise for this performance. That British accent is so all over the place i just found it distracting

[Alex @AlexMinNZ]

@Collider Amazing! I would love for the Trilogy to be completed. Despute its box office struggles the bone temple is still my favourite film of 2026 so far

[Alex @AlexMinNZ]

@JamesWilliamLe7 @BlackMajikMan90 They seem to be the minority though - from what I can tell very few people under 40 know about He-Man

[Alex @AlexMinNZ]

@TatooineSons It is sandwiched between 2 very formulaic fan service films, which makes it quite jarring being a middle chapter and not being that

[Alex @AlexMinNZ]

@DaveCullenShow Now so nobody under 45 even knows what Masters of the Universe is these days so it has become a reasonably niche property

[Alex @AlexMinNZ]

@Uber_Kryptonian The 175M is before tax credits though

[Alex @AlexMinNZ]

@BlackMajikMan90 I almost wonder if this exists not because they thought it would make money but that Bezos or someone high at Amazon loves Masters of the Universe and wanted the film to exist

[Alex @AlexMinNZ]

@BlackMajikMan90 The problem is it is IP that has no appeal to anyone under the age of 40. Most young people don't know what it is

[Alex @AlexMinNZ]

@AsaEveritRTSC @Variety The original film had a 300M budget and he had 70M to take that and make his cut. Ridiculously high for a movie that didn't make anywhere near enough to break even

[Alex @AlexMinNZ]

@janemargclis As soon as it is clear it is doing well they will all flip to "actually it's anti woke"

[Alex @AlexMinNZ]

@DComicTalks @troy35584984109 @Acemasonsplace @GlobalBoxOffice Based on their desire for it to fail. Ignore the trolls, nobody knows what its drop will be right now - it will depend on how audiences react to it and we won't know that until people start to see it

[Alex @AlexMinNZ]

@judgeshowgames @RDM_RYNO @HollywoodHandle Even when they are the same company (like Supergirl is) they are typically different divisions of the company so they are still different budgets

[Alex @AlexMinNZ]

@judgeshowgames @RDM_RYNO @HollywoodHandle Often the film is made and distributed by different companies so they are actually completely different budgets spent by different people

[Alex @AlexMinNZ]

@cj_rebelink @HollywoodHandle I think 175M is before they received large tax credits, 125M after tax credits is what the studio actually spent on it. 125x 2.5 (usual break even math) =315M

[Alex @AlexMinNZ]

@HollywoodHandle If you're gonna claim something is visa deadline then post the article in the comments or in the post or something

[Alex @AlexMinNZ]

@thatshowt @esotericchophoe @IsaiahHex_2 @stawpthattrain No they didn't because that statement would've been a lie. They used a lot of generative AI and are using careful wording to make it sound like they didn't

[Alex @AlexMinNZ]

@stawpthattrain So in other words "no shot was completely made by generative AI but we used a lot of it"

[Alex @AlexMinNZ]

@HollywoodHandle @DanielRPK Bets or actually happens this time? I swear the last 5 times this handle has mentioned "a new Disney trailer tomorrow" it hasn't happened

[Alex @AlexMinNZ]

@Variety Guessing they got spooked by the motu projected numbers and realized that 80s/ 90s nostalgia isn't really selling well

[Alex @AlexMinNZ]

@Ryder_RwC @C15Podcast If you want that sort of thing it is still being made - the Dune series is epic and takes itself seriously and the first 2 were fantastic, Masters of the Universe is just not the property to do that with

[Alex @AlexMinNZ]

@Ryder_RwC @C15Podcast As much as lotr is my favourite film does of all time, HeMan is not that. It was always a campy cartoon show so trying to make it a serious epic like lotr wouldn't work
