From 'Three Thousand Years of Longing' to 'Babylon,' 2022 held some big disappointments for moviemakers.
2022 was a year of recovery for the box office. While the astounding success of Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water proved that audiences would turn out for “event cinema,” many independent films and mid-budget titles underperformed as audiences turned to streaming. There was no such thing as a “sure thing” at the box office, as the changing theatrical window and dominance of franchises made it harder for original films to stand out.
Bros Comedy films have been hit hard by the post-COVID box office; titles like Ticket to Paradise and Good Luck To You, Leo Grande may have found success on streaming, but the market for studio comedies on the big screen has dwindled. It’s unfortunate, because Bros is both a groundbreaking moment of representation and one of the most pitch perfect romantic comedies in years.
Ambulance Michael Bay has always been one of Hollywood’s most infamous box office legends; there’s a bitter irony in the fact that Bay’s best films since The Rock are one of his few financial disappointments. Ambulance is a great throwback to ‘90s action ridiculousness, but it features practical filmmaking that elevates it above some of Bay’s other recent projects.
Three Thousand Years of Longing George Miller is currently dumping all of his creative efforts into the highly-anticipated Furiosa sequel after Mad Max: Fury Road became a massive hit, despite doubts that its prolonged production was destined to fail. Three Thousand Years of Longing may have attempted to capitalize on Miller’s name, but the baffling marketing campaign seemed to advertise it as a bizarre action spectacle, instead of the sincere and touching love story that it was.
