I think it depends on how quick they go to home media. There aren’t many movies these days that I have to absolutely see right away and can’t wait for a home release that’s not a rental, so the time spent in the theater has no relevance to me. I also go to small mom and pop theaters that charge $5-$6 per ticket even with day one releases. I can’t remember the last movie I saw in theaters that was an opening weekend except the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Menace, and that doesn’t count.

Edit: I just looked it up. I’m pretty sure TMNT: Mutant Mayhem was the last movie I saw in theaters besides TPM 25, and it was opening weekend.

I forgot all about that. Wasn’t it supposed to come out like four years ago?

Edit: looks like it was announced in 2016 and started filming in 2022. That’s probably why I was thinking it was supposed to come out so long ago.

I tried watching the remake of The Lion King a few years ago. I didn’t make it through the first song. I wish Disney would try something new instead of reboots, remakes, sequels, prequels, and spinoffs.

I’d pay to see that. I recently started watching The Critic on Tubi and I love it.

This is one of those movies I’m not holding my breath for. They’ve talked about rebooting/remaking it for so long. On the bright side, I hope this motivates Brian May to finally finish the Highlander soundtrack he was working on in the 2000s.

Also I hope they keep the Queen songs by Queen.

That’s a good question. I think I’ll take a sequel 40 years later over an awful remake that’s bound to change a lot of the original story.

I’m not automatically against sequels, but do we really need a sequel to a 40 year old movie?

You’re absolutely right about rural areas. My dad has satellite internet and it’s so slow. We get ads for satellite internet in our mail all the time. I’ve looked into them and apart from the 1-3 MBPS speeds, there’s always a data cap. If I had their internet, I’d definitely use Redbox more.

This almost sounds like a joke. Not what I expected for the M3GAN series. Also the title bothers me. I hate when people add a “T” after 8 in a word. Shouldn’t it be SOULM8? Looks like Soulmatey. 😂

This looks interesting. I’ll definitely be buying it day one. I first thought it was going to be a remake of ALTTP or OaA/OoS in the style of Link’s Awakening. I never thought we’d get a Zelda game where you play as Zelda.

I agree! I thought it was A Link to the Past or the Oracle games remastered in the Link’s Awakening style. I didn’t think we’d ever get a game where we played as Zelda!

I have WW and TP on Wii U, but I rarely play my Wii U.

Yeah, if I remember correctly they’ve said they’ve been working on or have completed a remastered Oracle of Ages/Seasons in the style of Link’s Awakening.

This is the Direct where they announce Twilight Princess and Wind Waker for the Switch. I can feel it! I wish they would, but I’m not holding my breath.
