I wanted to watch Furiosa and Megalopolis in theaters, but I lost track of time with life stuff. I finally got to watch Furiosa last week cause it's on Netflix, and I'm bummed I didn't see it on a big screen with big sound. It's such a fun batshit movie, and you can tell Chris Hemsworth is having a blast playing Dementus.
Literally the same with Furiosa except I saw it three weeks ago.
Conversely, the movie making the highest profit was Inside Out 2 with $650 million.
I still need to see Megalopolis. I've heard a pretty even split on it being confusing trash as well as being the best film ever made.
It comes across as so damn pretentious, and I don't mind artsy fartsy movies. Bad writing, mediocre acting (although I think a lot had to do with direction) and add in some awful cgi, and it was one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time.
Most of what people thought was CGI was a combination of practical effects + projection.
This is not CGI:

Corridor crew did a segment on it. There is a combination of projection and cgi and practical.
Oh okay, sorry, it was practical effects that looked so god aweful that you might think it's the worst cgi in history
I think it's a funny movie because how absolutely bad it is. Everyone who thinks it's unironically the best movie ever made is out of their mind.
Joker the movie was a joke
I'm losing it... "2024? Shouldn't they wait until the year is ov... oh... oh..."
That said, Megalopolis was robbed. It likely won't really be understood for a decade.
Joker: Folie à Deux was horrendous. I didnt have huge expectations going in but I didn't expect the shit show I suffered through. They hired Lady Gaga and decided to get their monies worth by making the movie a semi-musical. The movie could have been half hour to fortyfive minutes and been far better than the vomit they sent to screen.
