Depressing for AATW, great for I2 , good for JW2 and O8.

What underwhelming dom numbers, people are up in arms because I dared to write that it’s ow in the U.S is disappointing .

I understand the box office as good as the majority in this forum that makes predictions for various movies and then acts as if these predictions never happened while singing kumbaya. As for your question, matrix 27 million ow, matrix2 91 ow. POTC 47 million, POTC2 136 million. I could find more if I put my mind into it and neither the first matrix nor the first POTC were minor hits and it’s not like the first ant man was a box office juggernaut.

Wow, so its going to increase huge.

I have that Zackwhatever guy on ignore but reading him talk about nerds through your quote is priceless. Fun fact AATW will still do better worldwide than justice league and come extremely close to the citizen Kane/apocalypse now/The Godfather/the best movie of all time Wonder Woman worldwide.

How does it compare to the first, how much did the first do in total ?

Yes, I am obviously writing my opinion. Why should I care if I am the only one disappointed, which isn’t true anyway, one look at the predictions is enough. I am expressing my opinion in a nice manner without insulting anyone.

Nah it had all the potential in the world for an over 100 million opening, which isn’t even outlandish or anything by today’s standards. Great marketing, amazing brand power (MCU) , great cast of both “young” and veteran actors covering every demographic and again it is my own personal opinion that the whole ant man concept , unlike what other people think, has big potential with today’s technology being used in films.

It seems that AATW didn’t really move American families. Bland , at the lower end of estimates ,debut, didn’t seem like it worked as a great kiddie-friendly family film and the addition of a female character did shit for the film, I doubt it would have done worse without the wasp. On paper it was the perfect summer film, but obviously marvel has done something a bit wrong with the franchise from the start, maybe making it too comical and kiddie friendly, cause unlike some people I find the ant man concept with the visual effects and scenes it can provide quite lucrative. Anyway I hope marvel can learn a lesson and don’t attempt to make the fantastic four too comedic and family-friendly, when they get their rights.

Both solo and esp. JL had huge budgets and very troubled productions. No he doesn’t put marketing to come up with the 300 million budgets , have you been living under a rock or something ? Anyway extremely disappointing result for AATW even if it does better than what deadline is projecting.

I still don’t get how AATW will only make 50 million in Saturday and Sunday.

I will wait for Saturday number for AATW before coming to any conclusion.

That’s so cute...

Infinity war 11/10 black panther 9/10 gotg2 8.5/10 thor3 8.5/10 civil war 9/10 dr.strange 8/10 spider man homecoming 7.5/10 After a so-so second phase (with winter soldier being the standout film by far), third phase has been an absolute win for marvel studios .

Doctor strange 2 coming relatively soon is a given, I don’t understand wth you are talking about. The first was a decent hit worldwide, the character had a great presence in IW and great potential for a sequel. It’s 100% that we will see a second standalone film which will crush the first one at the box office.

What’s so disgusting about a straight action film having a 93 minute runtime without the credits (which translates to around 100 minutes total runtime) ? Seems quite normal to me .

Most people are still underestimating it, I feel that it will do a shocking opening weekend but I am not in a mood for writing more. Let the numbers speak....

You really have issues , don’t you, you know you can post without mentioning me right ? Anyway why people are acting as if this isn’t a holiday period in the U.S basically making the Friday-Wednesday period a long weekend, I have no idea. Now that this period is over the crawling towards 400 million, only 260 million less than the first, for JW2 will start and it still won’t probably make it.

The thing is that it’s anothet CBM flavor and the sequel looks quite a bit bigger than the original and , when all is said and done, it’s worldwide box office take will compare very favorably with winter soldier and maybe even Thor 3.

I have a feeling that after A4 which is basically IW2 , is released a slight CBM fatigue will happen.

It’s the most logical pairing though I would prefer BP , to get the prestigious 700 million, or IW to help a bit with its domestic take . Both films seem a bit heavy for pairing them with something like AATW.

It also did amazing on its od in S.Korea , over double the first and almost as good as Thor:r that opened on a holiday. Ant man was already quite strong overseas and the signs for the second film look good thus far.

Seems off to a killer start in Asia. First one did 340 million os, I see 500 million for this.

I think AATW will majorly surprise the doubters.

Wow, fantastic debut, bodes well for the film’s overseas take and the first ant man was already quite strong overseas.
