They would need to be shooting now to hit those mid year dates. Sounds like they're just going to have Aquaman next year which is a totally strange failure of production I agree.
I just realized WW is going to be the first superhero movie since The Avengers to crack 400M DOM without Batman, Iron Man or Spider-Man in it.
Just another thing to add to its mighty impressive run.

Guess my wording was weird.
Should've said that The Avengers was the first movie without Batman or Spider-Man to clear 400M DOM, and since then no other movie without those two or Iron Man has done so.
Wondy joins a pretty exclusive club.
It also means that Homecoming will be the first and potentially only movie with Iron Man since The Avengers to not cross 400M (because it's not doing that unless a miracle happens). At least all of the movies he's in* will have cleared 300M though.
*not counting The Incredible Hulk cameo

Valerian was a fucking embarrassment. It's been awhile since I've seen a movie that, on numerous occasions, made me want to crawl under my seat and hide.
Some high praise. I'll watch it next week.

I have to say that Valerian's projected $16m over three days obviously isn't great but it is still better than most of the doom laden predictions I've seen. I thought it was going to be lucky to get $11m never $16m given it's social media profile etc.
This oddly excites me for the film. I quite like the idea of this film being super divisive perhaps even provoking some debate.
But, in saying that, I'm pretty sure I said the same thing about Lucy and that was one of the worst films I've seen in the last ten years.
It's another two weeks before Valerian comes out in the UK so I expect it's release to be accompanied by headlines of doom and gloom.

I walked out on Baby Driver.
I had food poisoning. 
But I also wasn't super into it.
But I also wasn't super into it.Valerian is too anime.
Damn
I gotta see it again.
Edit: wait you didn't feel that way about The Mummy?
They have movies with Batgril, Aquaman and Suicide Squad planned, but no new Superman movie?
WTF??
He's one of the bigest (if not the bigest) hero of DC with Batman.
Jesus lol
I'm assuming they don't want to reveal a new Superman movie until he's officially back.

Man of Steel underperformed. Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman performed better than he did. It's not that shocking that until they figure out what they want to do with him he doesn't have a film announced until they have a good idea what they want to o with him.
He's also dead so he was never going to have a film announced currently regardless

disappointed it wasn't. I like the cast in there. I know nothing of the director though but I'm hoping they get a solid survival/action movie out of it.

16 million is fucking terrible. There's no way to sugar coat it for this type of big budget blockbuster sci fi action film.

It wasn't that good anyway tbh. I'm a huge fan of Wright too but walked away feeling really meh on it

Been hearing from many people that Valerian is a real piece of shit. And this is from the kinda people you'd expect to love it.
These French English language Hollywood wannabes rarely turn out good.

My brother called me up immediately after watching and despite thinking it was good but not great, thought it was one of the most overrated movies for this year so far.
If it performs the same way worldwide it'll bomb even harder than King Arthur.
Spider-Man is having average drops. This weekend's drop is going to be around 50%.

I had food poisoning.
It gets way better after the dancing, I promise
Sounds like a miserable evening to me.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
So... he didn't live long enough to see himself become a bomba...
