Yes, it was. Without spoiling too much the only difference was that the game in Guns was real. But the narrative was the MC progressing through the game while gaining a massive cult following outside. Also how the game creator was the main target in both.

*Forgot to mention Nerve, it was also very similar to that. These 3 movies had that social media angle going on, driving the MC to be a sensation. And I think Nerve even used real life influencers so Free Guy ripped that straight off.

I thought the same thing, but watched it anyway. Definitely worth the time. MUCH better than I'd anticipated.

okay so the movies explored some vaguely similar subjects, but the actual films arent similar experiences at all

You said there was no similarity period lol. And they are not vague. I literally told you details that are exactly the same.

I was shocked to see it on Disney Plus so soon, I didn't realize it has bombed so hard.

Anyway it was quite good, though obviously not very deep.

It's obviously weird to see a giant corporation make such a generic, very expensive action/comedy film, featuring a lot of product placement, and have the theme be "profit driven corporations are bad".

There's such an enormous disconnect between what the film is saying and what it's doing, it feels like a joke.

I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility.

It made 318 million at the box office during a pandemic still.
How is that bombing?

It released mid august and wasn't on Disney+ until September 29th according to news articles. In a time when many movies are releasing both on streaming and in cinema, it got a whole month and a half at the cinema before hitting streaming.

Your logic is weird.

Its PG rated Guns Akimbo like I said earlier. But since Mead clearly didn't watch that, he disagrees. I think it's so shamelessly ripping off other shit it has to be intentional. Like those other films were kinda like dark satires commenting on social media and its gratuitous hype culture. This was a lot lighter and was more of a spoof of those.

You're living in the middle of a pandemic where people don't actually want to go out to crowded movie theaters. Movies have been simultaneously releasing in theaters and on streaming services for a while now.

If anything, it's going to be really hard for theaters to push back on this even once the world tends to sort itself out a bit more, because this is essentially what studios and streaming platforms have wanted for years, so they're not going to want to give it up any time soon. And now that they have it, the usual threats from theaters to keep it from happening in the first place are a lot more toothless.

Wouldn't be surprised if this becomes the new normal.
