Deadline’s Most Valuable Blockbuster tournament is back. While studios during Covid wildly embraced the theatrical day-and-date model when cinemas were closed, they soon realized there’s nothing more profitable than a theatrical release and the downstreams that come with it. If anything, theatrical is the advertisement for a movie’s longevity in subsequent home entertainment windows. Entering the conversation in 2023 were the streamers, such as Apple, who have also realized the necessity of theatrical to eventize their movies. The financial data pulled together here for Deadline’s Most Valuable Blockbuster Tournament is culled by seasoned and trusted sources.

This week’s release of Zack Snyder’s “Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver” (read our review) puts many of Netflix’s problems into sharp focus. Reportedly costing around $166 million to make for both films, arguably much less expensive than some big Marvel and “Star Wars” that cost around $200 million each, it’s still a significant figure for movies that have been met with massive critical derision.

Filmmaker Zack Snyder’s profoundly unfortunate “Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire,” a turgid, ostentatiously vacant space opera, was, to put it politely, a dire film and hollow regurgitation of familiar sci-fi tropes. But it at least had a story with three bare acts, however tedious.

Slow-motion scenes that sputter story pacing? Check.Poorly developed characters? Check.Plot holes bigger than the Milky Way? Check.

Writer/director Zack Snyder always has ambitious plans for his movies, and when it comes to his brand new science-fiction space opera series “Rebel Moon,” the filmmaker’s thinking isn’t veering far off from the audacious. Just one day before the second installment’s release, “Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver,” Snyder has said that he has plans for up to six ‘Rebel Moon’ movies.

Zack Snyder, the director of 2016′s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice starring Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck as Batman, just dropped a fun fact about casting for the film’s villain, Lex Luthor.

With “Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver” hitting Netflix tomorrow, Zack Snyder is making the press rounds to promote his latest film. But the most intriguing stuff he talked about on the Happy Sad Confused podcast didn’t have anything to do with “Rebel Moon” at all.

Zack Snyder’s “Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver” is almost upon us, debuting on Netflix this Friday, April 19 (read our review of ‘Part One’). Given its imminent release, the filmmaker appeared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast to discuss Rebel Moon’ and his entire career.

What’s next for director Zack Snyder after his upcoming “Rebel Moon” part two sci-fi sequel? While the genre filmmaker has teased a possible third installment in the series, Snyder still has various projects in the oven and is still mulling over what gets made from that pack of contenders, including a sequel to his “Army Of The Dead” zombie movie. During a recent chat with Games Radar to promote the second half of “Rebel Moon,” Snyder was asked about some of the previous projects he had in development, such as a film inspired by the King Arthur mythology (Snyder is a big fan of John Boorman’s R-rated “Excalibur”), Horse Latitudes (a long-gestating Afghan War pic formerly known as “The Last Photograph”), and his sexualized take on Alexander The Great in “Blood & Ashes” too (Snyder once mused about making a George Washington action film).

James Gunn’s Superman just keeps on expanding!
