Unforgiven Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) https://www.outkick.com/indiana-jones-and-the-dial-of-destiny-box-office-projections-disappointment/ NEW ‘INDIANA JONES’ MOVIE TRACKING TO BE BOX OFFICE DISASTER While it might be Ford’s final time as Indy, it doesn’t appear fans are too amped up to rush to theaters. The film’s Thursday night earnings are expected to fall between $6 million and $7.5 million once the numbers are finalized, according to Deadline. No one wants to see white men being cucked and killed off at the hands of dumb indestructible women by the libtard left, apparently. billstime, that you?

Yup. That's why I said never let people see just how replaceable you are. Insulting your core customer base that got you to where you are is stupid even for a small business, much less one like ABInbev. As for reimagining movies, they can do what they want. After about the 5 version of the same story, it's lost on me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an in-law from deep red America who switched from Bud Light to Coors Light as his daily drinker. He had recently finally started to branch out, drinking a "local" microbrew. But then he found out that Anheuser Busch had bought out that microbrewery so that's out too. The amount of time people spend overthinking these things just boggles my mind.

With a few recent court decision pointing in a direction of choice of the seller, would it now be possible to advertise who is not allowed to buy your product, perhaps put it right on the label? Based on religious beliefs of course. Can the small craft brew guy/gal restrict their sales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had thought it was because Disney under Chapek was a disaster of investing in movies few want to see and nickel and dimeing people at the park. Disney needs to go back to the time where they recognize why they became "Disney", which is only about 5-10 years ago, be apolitical, be child friendly and make films that people want to see. Honestly I have seen every Marvel film once it has hit video and the only part of phase 4 that was really good was a couple of the tv shows, all the movies were like 1990s super hero movies.

I'd drink Bud Light before the dust-up, but it would probably be the last choice if other stated options were available. What's with the judgey "horrible taste" take? The product sold well because people bought it in large numbers for consumption. What's next, you guys trash talk some poor guy enjoying a Kit Kat because you prefer your fancy Cadbury Caramilk or Aero candy bar? I'm over here enjoying a Kit Kat, contemplating a Coors Light later and..well, I'm listening to ABBA. There, I said it. ABBA. I have no plans to go out and buy some craft beer made in the 'brewery' of some dopey real estate attorney/brewmaster, knowing full well the 'brewery' is his moldy basement and his kids likely dropped some snot-laced Leggo into his swill when the babysitter wasn't paying attention.
