The film only opened with $130 million worldwide, which is less than the $139 million that the box office bomb The Flash managed to earn. Furthermore, the Indiana Jones sequel is said to have cost more than $300 million to make with marketing costs, while The Flash was estimated at $250 million. Either way, both films appear to be box office bombs, with the fifth Indiana Jones film making even less at the box office so far.
I used to think all the neo-retro plot contrivances in Shadowrun were ridiculous. Why would anyone care about pop culture from decades ago, I asked myself.
Then I realized that Ready Player Oneism is a persistent ideology because the ruling class doesn't want to take risks and mining nostalgia so deeply that even generations that came after the nostalgia's source will eventually be nostalgic for older remakes became a thing.
Same thing here man. I was just re-reading the Cyberpunk RPG codex and came across the posergangs. That sort of end of history meets pop culture clashing in the most dire and grim way. Our existing future sucks so much dude.
Became? Almost all 90s Disney movies are remakes, including the live action ones. Flubber, Parent Trap etc are remakes while Zenon is pure retrofuturism.
There is still a difference between "dug up a no-copyright ancient story like Aladdin" and "digging up one's own dug up Aladdin cartoon and making it live action and worse."
Disney made parent trap in the 70s or the 60s apparently
You will live in the
podvan. You will watch the thirteenth unnecessary remake of a mid film. You will soyface to prestige tv.
