I spoke to three critics who attended a screening of Paul King’s “Wonka” yesterday morning. The consensus is “not good.” A critic tells me it was “tonally way off” and another called it a “mess.” It was to be expected. Right now, “Wonka” is being projected to have an opening of $25 million. That’s below expectations, especially with a $125 million budget stamped to its name.
Earlier this year, Zack Snyder mentioned having seen James Gunn’s “Superman.” Heaping praise on it. Now he’s saying he actually hasn’t caught up with it yet?
