Superman did get me to do something I haven’t done in what seems like decades and go watch the same movie twice in theaters.

It’s great.

I’m surprised you were able to see it in the theater. By the time I get off the couch to go see something, the studios have usually already shuffled it off to streaming.

Superman has been in theaters for over a month.

It's STILL in the theaters around here today.

“Over a month” is nothing compared to the lifetime of movies in theaters historically. A movie would have to bomb to have been pulled after only a month.

[–] garretble@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well I guess in this case it's nearing 2 months. It came out on July 7.

[–] falidorn@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Which I guess is a large amount of time nowadays. It’s one of the most successful movies this year and still in the top 10 grossing. It should still be in wide release.

Superman was the first movie I went by myself to see in like 5 years. I've taken the kids to a couple in that time period but none just for me.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I really didn't like the new Superman. I'm a massive Superman fan and was bitterly disappointed in it. I see lots of people enjoying the new style, so maybe I'm just getting old. But each to their own; the old movies aren't going anywhere.

Not quite the same but I have not watched anything new in awhile at all but I grabbed the digital edition. Got it for the dog and overall disapointed. I mean it was ok but definitely happy about the dog decision as it was the best parts to me. Keep in mind I have pretty much hated everything since the twenty teens so my bar is pretty high. Like LOTR high.
