The Boys: Amazon Prime SuperHero series.
JennaJ replied to AndyK's topic in Streaming, TV Series, & VOD Movies
I liked episode 3 Best, but 4 was right behind it for me. I can’t wait to watch the rest of the season, but I also get where they’re coming from with the weekly release, so I can wait. There’s so many other things to watch in the meantime. -

Really love this show. First show I got really hooked on since GOT ended. Cant wait for episode 4 on Friday! -
I haven't been interested in box office for a while, count on Avengers to reel me back in. Pretty great to be back here for this incredible weekend. I still remember the awesomeness of following The Avengers weekend thread here years ago and how exciting that was ("Not a record!" LOL). What an awesome movie and what a wonderful way to wrap up the first decade plus of the MCU. Totally historic weekend.

In my view GotG increasing from 333m to around 390m is not "a relatively okay increase". A lot of break outs don't actually increase at all with their sequel, so I'd say GotG 2 performed very nicely, no qualifiers needed. It's certainly not the first movie I'd use as proof that the MCU's audience isn't growing. I'd probably go to CW for that, or any other movie that actually requires watching a bunch of previous installments to know what's going on. How much do you see the JW2 and Deadpool 2 doing? I mean I see both declining, but I still think both will be pretty darn successful (I see JW2 winning 2018, for instance).

Top 10 of 2018 predictions: From JAN 1st 2018 to DEC 31st 2018
JennaJ replied to YM!'s topic in Box Office Discussion
I'd agree if it wasn't split into two "culminations". The fact that it's a "part 1" (even if not by name) will lower prospects for it just like it did for the Hunger Games Mockingjay Pt. 1. Infinity War isn't a real culmination because it's not the final movie yet. It's going to be big, but it won't have that "final chapter" boost. -

Ugh, Baby Driver deserves better. -
Monday Numbers: WW: $6.27M | MUMMY CRUCIFIED: $2.59M
JennaJ replied to Finnick's topic in Numbers and Data
Yeah, Incredible Hulk and IM2 may look like comparative weak links in retrospect, but I don't remember anyone doubting the MCU's future because of them. the MCU didn't have a string of critical/WOM/Box office flops. Even the weaker movies were still generally well received. Nothing like the Dark Universe (which already had false starts with Van Helsing and Dracula Untold, even if we're not meant to act like those exist). -
Monday Numbers: WW: $6.27M | MUMMY CRUCIFIED: $2.59M
JennaJ replied to Finnick's topic in Numbers and Data
People were patient with Marvel? At what point did it have a real clunker that people needed to be patient about? Their universe got off to a great start with Iron Man and hasn't really slowed down since... I'm not sure I follow the comparison. -
I feel like GotG2 suffered the curse of inflated expectations whereas WW is enjoying the advantages of being a breakour hit no one really saw coming (much like the first GotG). When you expect the world it's easy to feel let down even by objectively great results. When you expect nothing, a great result is exciting and fresh. So even though GotG2 will still be the biggest movie this summer domestically, it's not the biggest story. That's fine by me, I enjoyed it more than WW but I don't begrudge WW the attention and success. It will do the entire industry good in the long run.

Agreed with this, and then for me Lego Batman is my least favorite of the four. i liked WW a lot, but I enjoyed both Logan and GOTG2 way more.
