@Dade512@brittany_guy_rl 1). Inflation is a pretty big factor in sales, but we don't know the break even. It has been reported It's near $1b — in a few weeks hopefully we get some solid data.
2. What's wrong with crusaders? The Crusades were justified.
The Odyssey is selling significantly less movie tickets than movies in the past (including other Nolan films), but inflation is making it appear like a huge success.
1/4 🍿 Is The Odyssey actually pulling in bigger theatrical crowds, or is ticket inflation making it look that way? Looking at ticket prices, audience ratings, and volume across 26 years tells a clear story: higher ticket prices mean faster box office gains on paper, but actual attendance is WAY down. 👇

@xaviercross1971 Oppenheimer sold significantly more just 3 years ago so it isn't a bad faith argument.
I think Toy Story 5 also sold more tickets and pulled bigger numbers.
@TimHamp87915280@brittany_guy_rl Forced DEI and a trans character is pretty woke.
Personally, I think it's wild that there were no Greek actors in this.
Anyone who has actually read the Odyssey would realize that this is a very different telling.
GOG has officially confirmed that GOG Galaxy is coming to Linux.
The company has hired a dedicated Linux developer and is actively working on the launcher, there’s no release date or timeline yet.
Linux users have relied on third-party launchers or compatibility tools to access their GOG libraries. An official launcher should make things much easier with features like:
-Native game downloads and updates
-Cloud saves
-Achievement syncing
-Friend lists and social features
-Better support for Linux and devices like the Steam Deck
@brittany_guy_rl Why are you making arguments that I have never made?
A film can be woke and not good, but still make money. Has a Nolan film ever not been successful? 🤔
Mel Gibson on his new series about the Siege of Malta:
"It’s an incredible story of defiance, faith, and hope against all odds. The fate of Europe was on the line. These guys weren't just soldiers; they were driven by something much deeper than just national pride."
"700 knights defended Malta against an onslaught from the Turks. Suleiman sent 40,000 men and ships and, wow, the knights won. They were the defenders of Christendom. They were the ones who stood in the way and said, 'No further.'"
