About 
Gladiator II starts off very slow, but once things get going in the second half of the film, it improves dramatically, but it can't compare to the gravitas of its predecessor.

The Creator Will Debut On Hulu On December 20th
The Creator couldn't find an audience in theaters, but maybe it will on streaming. It will make its debut on Hulu on December 20th.
Article Summary
- The Creator heads to Hulu for streaming on December 20th after a tepid box office run.
- Early positive reactions didn't translate to big-ticket sales for the original sci-fi flick.
- With a new TV spot and poster, 20th Century Studios aims for a streaming resurgence.
- Hope remains for The Creator to garner a cult-like following in the digital landscape.
2023 was the year of movies with a ton of potential failing to cross the line from "pretty good" to "greatness." Usually, that wouldn't be a huge deal, but with prices of everything going up and the recession really starting to hit people where it hurts, people weren't willing to take a gamble on something that wasn't raved about (for the most part). So when films from massive franchises underperform, it stings and is surprising, but there is still that lingering hope that maybe something original come along and do well to prove everyone wrong. People wanted that film to be The Creator for a while, and the early reactions looked pretty positive overall.
However, even though the film was budgeted exceptionally well and didn't have many costs to recoup, it still failed to find an audience at the box office. It hurts a little more when something original fails because it gives studios another excuse not to throw big weight behind original stories. So, while The Creator didn't light the world on fire, the film is pretty good, and now those who missed out on checking out in September will have a chance. Today, it was announced that the film will be making its debut on Hulu on December 20th. 20th Century Studios released a new TV spot and poster for the release. Maybe now the film can find an audience and become a cult classic later on down the line.
