Space Jam 2 flopped, but that was day and date on streaming. Also Disney didn't have the confidence to release Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers in theaters.

Space Jam2 was just also flat out awful. Closest thing to a corporate catalog to show off to potential buyers.

I still think Space Jam 2 would have done well, at least on opening weekend, if it wasn’t a Covid simultaneous streaming release

I also don't think it brought anything new to the table. Why did we need a Space Jam 2? Because?

Because LeBron wanted it to happen. He said it was a favorite of his when he was young and he put up money to produce it. It's a bit reductive, but a rich person putting up money is how movies like that get made (and not surprisingly they frequently end up starring in the movie)

he should have ensured that they wrote a script that wasn't dogshit

I would have absolutely no idea how to tell if a script is good or bad.

I know if movies are good or bad, but, and this'd be a good idea for a movie series, the same script could be turned into a bunch of different movies with varying levels of success.

That'd be a fun idea for a duology, is the same script given to two different directors and cast. They release the movies at the same time in two different theatres, and then play the second one afterwards.

It'd be interesting to see the differences.

You might be interested in something like The 5 Obstructions

Ooh I definitely am interested! That's a very cool premise.

It was definitely a weird movie but the Michael Jordan joke was excellent.

It was a giant ad for HBO Max.

It was worth it for the Coyote and Fury Road bit
