There sure are a lot of IP movies coming out in 2025.
You might be thinking ‘sure Sophie, but what else is new?’.
First of all, it’s Stacey, and secondly, I understand this is not particularly rare.
In2023, we saw more weirdo IP do well.
Denis Villeneuve and George Miller had my back at least.
I believeAvatarhas more fans than those who like to loudly deride it for having ‘no cultural impact’ claim.
I’m not sure it has as many as these numbers suggest.
The first time it was a technological gimmick, or more kindly, a marvel.
The second time, after so long away from cinemas, there was curiosity to see what had changed.
What gets people back in seats the third time around?
Saw 11
I think any movie with 11 in the title is at risk of fatigue.
However, it’s the third movie in the franchise and aiming to launch a trilogy.
What Mr. Boyle has on his hands is IP.
Surely this won’t tank?
It’s not as safe as you’d think, though it still might be safe.
It’s the first of the Probably Okay because, well, it will probably be okay.
But if this fails, it has the biggest ramifications of any movie here.
Ballerina
TheJohn Wickfilms peaked with 4, so I know there is potential for this prequel.
Of all the movies here, this is the one I’m most rooting for.
Minecraft
This will be terrible andevery child on Earth will still want to see it.
What do you even say about aMinecraftisekai movie?
Getting Nervous
Megan 2.0
Megan was great.
2.0 is boring, and doing the killer doll thing twice is, too.
Unless it keeps its budget down,viral marketing needs to come in clutch again.
Permit me to launch into a merry dance off stage to some vaudeville music now.
I just don’t think it has threequel juice.
Surely if it was bad they’d have just killed it… right?
Mortal Kombat 2
The first one made $80 million off a $50 million budget.
Sure, it was during the pandemic, but why did it get a sequel?
The Fantastic Four
I’m just not convinced you could make a good movie about these guys.
That’s not why I fear for it though.
More to the point, you wonder if you want it to.
Why are we even doing these movies?
Captain America: Brave New World
Massive red warning light flashing now.
TheMCUhas been teetering for a while, seemingly going nowhere after Endgame.
At a reported budget of $400 million, this could be the year’s biggest failure.
