Yes, Hollywood still needs superheroes and I.P. But don’t forget the mid-tier movies
LA TimesSorry, haters, but the success of Marvel Studios’ “Deadpool & Wolverine” shows just how much the theatrical film business needs comic book movies. The reason a steamy sports-related psychodrama such as “Challengers” costs $55 million isn’t because production has become dramatically more expensive or due to a supply chain issue affecting tennis rackets. There’s little doubt that “Inside the NBA” co-host Charles Barkley is at least partly right that Turner Sports was the underdog in latter part of the negotiations. This newsletter was partly written to the dulcet tones of SoCal band the Offspring’s 30-year-old banger album “Smash.” And I know I’ve written about the French heavy metal band Gojira here before, but they actually made global news last week by performing at the opening ceremony for the Paris Olympics.
