Rotten Tomatoes' Mark Ellis talks with Digital Trends about the success story of TopGunMaverick, the state of comic book movies, and other summer '22 events.
Mark Ellis is a comedian, actor, podcaster, and self-proclaimed “dog stepfather” who has been dissecting pop culture for over a decade. In addition to performing in comedy clubs nationwide, Ellis co-hosts Rotten Tomatoes is Wrong, where he dissects both critically fresh and rotten movies like Spider-Man 3, Cats, and Thor: The Dark World.
Nothing’s wrong with comic book movies because Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is 74% on the Tomatometer and Thor: Love and Thunder is 65% on the Tomatometer. They’re both critically “fresh” , and they did about $1.8 billion worth of business. Doctor Strange got really close to $1 billion worldwide and Thor: Love and Thunder is going to get close to $800 million.
It’s interesting with Batgirl. I feel like the way to look at that is that it’s less on the character or the creative team behind that movie, and it’s more on the brain trust with Warner Brothers and HBO Max, because that’s just the tip of the iceberg of the problems they’ve been having. It’s less about Batgirl, and it’s more about a company that is looking to save cash and take care of their tax refund than caring about the character.
Also, I think that the appeal of the way it was filmed, where it was actually real jet fighters in action with some of the actors piloting these planes, I think was something that appealed to viewers. I believe so, yes. There was no alternative to go see Maverick other than in the movie theater. With horror movies like The Black Phone, audiences love getting scared together in the dark as a collective experience. People want to come together to see something truly remarkable together. Either they want to get scared or they want to laugh together or they just want to have their socks blown off with something like Maverick.
