They hyped the buildup to the battle and then said "WAIT!" Mission Impossible, I knew was a part 1, but it still had a climax {nm}

in response to Moviesnob's post Most people didnt care
Is Universal hedging its bets by not putting "Part 1" on Wicked? And hoping no one will find out until the end of the movie?

Split film Part 2 fatigue was used as the reason MOCKINGJAY: PT 2 underdelivered and since then studios have been scared to use it.

Yep another one where they threw the blame on box office on the Pt 1 * Pt 2 vs the unforced error of opening too close to BARBENHEIMER.

It didn't hurt SPIDERVERSE #2 to leave off Part 1. If it's good people will go

And most people were shocked/annoyed when that ended on a cliffhanger, even though Sony marketed it as Part 1 with the first trailer/teaser

They should just avoid making 2 parters and avoid the whole problem altogether. The cost savings not worth it if people won't go to part 1

Also, the idea was always to make two movies at the same time, thereby saving money from downtime...

Also doesn't help if they are spaced too far apart (more than 1 year), like Mission Impossible
