so did anyone actually see this yet?

ive been on vacay the last 4 weeks and started rewatching mando (first time since it aired) on my tablet in airports, while i still like season 1 it didn't hit as hard as it aired since andor really reset the quality/story bar. i'm still a bit confused on whether this movie completely wraps up mando/baby yoda or if they will continue on with more show or movies?

it feels like nobody really cares either way lol

I saw it and everyone in my group of 4 liked it a lot, but all of agreed it’s mid tier as far as Star Wars goes. I will say it’s the funnest, and funniest Star Wars movie of all of them in my opinion. But the story is very self contained and aside from introducing 2 characters that will probably show up again at some point, not much of seems to matter in the grand scheme of things.

From all the stuff I have read it looks like making the movie, so that those that haven't seen the show would understand everything, is really what hurt the film.

You are wrong, the most fun a starwars movie had was when a bunch of captive wild animals were set free to just run amuck destroying capitalism!!!

I only watched season 1 of Mando and haven't watched any of the other SW streaming shows so feel free to tell me I'm wrong here. The impression I get from reading these threads, and also with the post IW Marvel offerings, is that they lack any kind of consequence to the larger universe. There's a place in entertainment for a buddy cop show set in a known universe, whether that's mando, winter soldier & falcon, or similar, but don't try to sell those as blockbuster movie ideas. Know your lane and be happy to live in it. If you want to bring a SW story to the big screen I need to feel like you're either building up to some epic conclusion or actually providing that epic conclusion. We devoured Marvel phase 1-3 because it was building up to IW. We watched Force Awakens because we were hoping for some post RotJ conclusion. They expect us to care about M&G because.....why exactly?

You should really watch Andor. I’m not much of a Star Wars fan but that show was really good, and it made me want to rewatch rogue one after it was over since it led right into it. It’s the only Star Wars movie outside the original three I’ve watched more than once because of Andor.

Obsession also beat out M&G for Thursday.

M&G is just a pile of contradictions - a kids movie that's too violent for most kids, a streaming property Disney wants people to pay theatrical charges for, and a theatrical release that currently doesn't tie into any theatrical releases, past or present.

It feels like we're going to see some really embarrassing comps in a couple weeks when "Movies that M&G did worse than" articles start coming out, like The Devil Wears Prada 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and if things really go disastrously, stuff like F1 and Thunderbolts.

I think it can be mostly summed up as they didn't strike when the iron was hot. If this had been released after S2, it probably would have done way better. But they had the season long break because of Boba Fett which was very uneven, then they had the mediocre 3rd season of Mando.

The thing is, does Disney really lose here?

Theatrically it's a bust. But all they did was make a 3-4 episode tv show and call it a movie. And its still going to Disney+ like all the regular episodes.

So you could say all the Theatrical money was the cherry on top of Mando season 3.5. It's money they would never see from a regular D+ show.

Granted it dilutes the brand and probably alienates more fans than it adds.

Thanks for the Disney cope line.

Will the movie bring new subs? New subs for more than a few months?

I get that you can just plan and budget it as a normal item to add to your streaming portfolio, nothing wrong with that- and judge it by the same metrics as other streaming.

Or release it as a movie- sure it can be seen as “just extra on top” but its still going to be fully judged as a movie.

It was not release as a /special/ in regards to the theater - if they hyped it up as a super special weekend F-M limited run - have some hook thats only in theaters then a big release on streaming, then your not going to be judges as a “normal” movie release.

Now you have tons of bad or “meh” press that could negatively affect the “whatever” fake Screamfeeder metrics streaming use.

hurting the brand will cost them billions. when force awakens came out, disney had so much of an advantage, they got 64% cut of all ticket sales for the movie's entire run and theaters had to keep the movie on their premium screens for a month. when last jedi, it went up to 65% and it could go to 70% if they didn't keep in it on the big screens for the month.
the rights to make star wars stuff was gold, but that has to be tanking. their toy footprint in walmart is about size it was before the prequels came out.

=

anyway, local marquee (newest and biggest in area) mando had 16 showing last weekend, both premium screens and the 2 next biggest screens (4 showings on each). when i looked yesterday, it was down to 12, still on 1 premium and 3rd and 4th biggest screens. this morning they cut it down 10, while still on the #1 and #3 screens, they moved the other showings to a closet.

across the 5 showing after 5pm, 24 tickets sold so far today.
