    Agree 100%. It should have been called John Carter, Warlord of Mars, or John Carter and The Princess of Mars. Something to give it a Pulp sci-fi feel. And better movie posters, for God's sake. But that ridiculous budget was almost impossible to overcome.

    They bought Marvel during production and decided that comic book movies would fill their Young Male demographic without having to do the work of introducing a generation to a pulp era hero. I love the books and I really enjoyed the movie, since it brought my favorite literary character of all time to life- Tars Tarkas!

    @tstockel Disney didn’t want to call it “Princess of Mars” because that could get audiences confused about whether or not this film is a Disney Princess film. Disney is really protective about their Disney Princess marketing, and putting the word “Princess” in the title of this film would get Disney fans wondering if Disney would add John Carter’s royal love interest to the Disney Princess lineup. They already have a dispute over the Tarzan property with the Edgar Rice Burroughs estate...adding the Princess of Barsoom to the Disney Princess lineup would only complicate things further. Disney also thought that little boys wouldn’t want to see a movie with the word “princess” in the title because said boys would think that the movie is too girly. Once again, you could chalk that notion up to being an unfortunate byproduct of Disney marketing their princess characters for little girls. Disney also noted the then recent failure of other movies with the word Mars in the title...and Disney execs thought that girls didn’t want to see a movie with the word “Mars” in the title either. Yet another sexist preconceived notion on the part of studio execs that misunderstands the views of the audience.

    @tstockel So, since Disney didn’t want to include Mars or Princess in the title...they couldn’t call the film “Princess of Mars” or “Warlord of Mars”. They were stuck with the protagonist’s name as a title. They could have called the movie “John Carter: Warlord of Barsoom” or just “Barsoom” but to the lay person who has never heard of the Barsoom books..”Barsoom” would be a nonsense word. So Disney decided to call the movie “John Carter”. That creates a further problem: “John Carter” is a fairly common name in the English speaking world. For example, there is a character on the TV series “ER” called John Carter. That’s why the title of the film turned out to be so unappealing and dull that it contributed to the failure of the film. The audience didn’t know why the John Carter of the film was so special judging by the title of the movie alone. It’s because there are other people and characters with the same name who are completely unrelated to the Barsoom novels.

Those numbers are fantastic!! Hollywood's idea of positive results has become such nonsense. They call Black Adam a flop and blame The Rock but it made $400 million! How is a movie that made $400 million unsuccesful? It's not the rock's fault that they can't properly budget. He's trying to star in, produce, and promote a movie.

    Disney did Solo dirty though. They fired the two original directors, Phillip Lord and Chris Miller, more than halfway through filming, and brought in Ron Howard. Howard came in and did a huge amount of reshoots. I also remember reading an interview with Alden Ehrenreich saying that Howard was so dead set on him acting like Harrison Ford that he brought in an acting coach to work with and sit in on set with him. Alden said the entire experience was demeaning.

    The Problem with the John Carter of Mars film was that over the years (The first book was published in 1911) all the things that made it special and original had been completely ripped off by other film and literary franchises, sometimes more than once. For example when Star Wars ripped off Dune (Frank Herbert actually said he could not use most of the plot from his first novel in David Lynches first verion because Star Wars had already done it), it got all the stuff Dune had ripped off from John Carter too. DC comics The Martian Manhunter took most of its world building from John Carter (Different coloured Martians with differnt powers and species) and worked it in to the DC Universe as a whole, Even Superman having powers on earth he did not have on Krypton, came from John Carter having powers on Mars he did not have on earth, because of the difference in Atmosphere and gravity. The first major Rip off was the first Flash Gordon newspaper cartoons and novelisation, then Movie serial adaptations, which basically just changed the name of the Lead character and his method of getting to Mars/Mongo. (Ironically Flash was himself ripped of by Crash Corrigan and the Undersea Kingdom only a year of so later) which was also highly influenced by the Buck Roger newspaper strip, which would itself become a film serial in time. So only bits of of the Novel "A princess of Mars" and "Moons of Mars" themuch longer newspaper serialised version the novel was edited from, made it's way in to the Disney film, though there had been a straight to video adaptation three years earlier actually called "A princess of Mars" which was much more true (as far as it could be on a tiny, TINY budget) to the spirit of the original novel and actually made a virtue in it's advertising that Star wars, Avatar, Flash Gordon, Superman and a half dozen other major Sci Fi franchises had stolen from the story it was adapting. (In japan it was actually releasd as Avatar on Mars)

    The only time I didn't mind D-Box was for a group 3D gaming experience. Tight, ten minutes or so of 8 people shooting up a haunted carnival, with the high point of the D-Box seating being a roller coaster, where I was quite frankly shocked at how immersive it was for that purpose, with just some solonoids tilting and jostling the seats, and careful use of air-flow to make you feel the cart had crested, and was accelerating down the track. Was fun for a tight experience like that, would happily do it again. Wouldn't want to experience it for much more than that at a stretch.

    @marianparoo1544 Cruise didn’t ruin Top Gun or the Mission Impossible movies though. Top Gun and the Mission Impossible movies were fairly successful in the box office. The first Mission Impossible movie with Tom Cruise in it was successful enough to spawn a whole film franchise even though it’s based on a television series. The Mummy failed not because of Tom Cruise alone, but because it couldn’t top the success of the Brendan Fraser Mummy films let alone the cultural icon that was the original Universal Classic monster movie of the 1930s. This is probably because the movie had several factors that lead to its failure: poor scriptwriting, poor direction, it deviated too far from the original, bad special effects, or because the audience didn’t want to see a female Mummy as the villain. A Screenrant article says that the failure of the Tom Cruise Mummy movie could also be blamed on misleading marketing. If a film doesn’t have good marketing, then the audience wouldn’t know what to expect when they buy tickets for the film. If the marketing is really bad or misleading, then potential viewers won’t want to see the film. However, if Tom Cruise really had full creative control over the production of the film, then the failure of this film would be largely his fault...but it still isn’t *just* his fault in that case. It’s that no one put their foot down and said no to the decisions that were made that ended up contributing to the lackluster quality of the film.

    Solo wasn't a bad film but I think two things that killed it was 1) the budget because they fired the directors and Ron Howard had to salvage the film and 2) it came out too soon after Rian Johnson's dumpster fire of a movie. It was, what, only six months between them? Talk about over saturation of your brand.

    Oh my God! How did those Dr.s keep their licenses?! When you have a psych patient come in and ask for more of their high dose meds, you don't give them Valium and send them home. That should be a gigantic red flag. "He would need to drive to pick up his meds." Gimme a break. Even if they didn't have home delivery, someone from his family could have gotten them for him. He should have never been out on the road. I understand having to take psych meds, i take them too, including Valium, so i understand the level of depression that makes you take those. But, detox from heroin and giving him more meds then sending him home is insane. I hope none of them suffered.

    Dark Universe could have been fine if they had made them with lesser known actors with smaller budgets. I think that's why the Invisible Man worked with Elisabeth Moss while the Mummy flopped with Tom Cruise & Russel Crowe. BTW: I actually liked the TC Mummy... it looks and sounds great in 4k/HDR/Dolby+ and it's just sort of a fun romp... but I can see why it flopped.

    King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, was not that bad. It was a decent adaptation. One of the reasons why it didn't do so well was because of its release date, as it came out when one of the BIGGEST Marvel movies came out; also because Guy Ritchie movies are an acquired taste most of the time.
