I was talking about you btw when I said some people here would extrapolate ONE person not even saying it would do 40mil but that it wouldn't be the most shocking thing him into "Many people here are saying it would only open to 40mil, what fools"
You’re fun.
This thread has been overrun with negativity for a while. A fan of the genre mocks a dumb or silly post. But here comes Coolio! He’s going to preemptively defend the comment against anyone who comments on it.Does Coolio comment on the weird straw man that stans are denying that this movie is in a different spot than CM?
Nope. He’s here to rescue us from SpiderByte!
This movie will succeed or not, but SpiderByte better be careful!

Want to see pace at chinese maoyan site is 2-3k per day compared to 20-30k for Ant-Man3 & WF; so it's not surprising that this is doing 10-20% of Ant-Man 3 presales in US
This provides a good example of why small samples aren’t very helpful.

It's been an assumption from the trailers and their quality.
Eh. Mileages vary.

Where are people seeing negative buzz about the movie quality itself? I’m not saying there isn’t. I just haven’t seen it.
I’m trying to separate ticket sales/speculation from rumors about whether it is good.-

That was the empire city move. to take the absolute lowest number someone mentioned and be like "all of you morons thought it was gonna open to this. Only I the absolute genius thought it would open higher and I was right". Have noticed multiple here adopting this one when it suits them.
Who?

Because one person mentioned it as a possibility I know who in here is gonna be like "You all said it was gonna open to $40 million!" and act like it's a win no matter what happens opening weekend.
Yeahhhhh.
Are any of the “you all don’t understand reality” posters actually going to find a weird or unrealistic prediction from a stan?No. apparently not.
The fatigue people are so excited for this that they are projecting badly. -
Could someone identify the huge predictions for this movie?
Has anyone guessed it will be within $75m of original domestic?Kinda making a straw man here when the stans aren’t saying this movie will crush it. We’re saying it won’t lose 60% with inflation.

Many people seem to be in denial of that reality though. Back in the day, fanboy wars used to be mainly between Marvel and DC fans. Nowadays it's between CBM fatigue believers and those who are in denial of that reality and pretending like it's still 2019.
Personally, though, I don't think this thread is insufferable at all. This is just a normal movie thread, mostly consisting of people posting TV spots/other promotions of the movie, people making predictions on the movie, and people speculating how the strike will affect its promotion.
Honestly the constant "this thread is so toxic and insufferable and unreadable" posts many on here is perhaps the most repetitive thing on here.
Like, if you think this thread is such a dumpster fire, then just...leave. I don't know what else to say. Presumably, no one is forcing you to log on here every day and complain about this thread.
Oh good grief, man.
You post skeptical stuff here over and over and over. Which is fine. People just question some of the skepticism.
But.. it’s not fanboy-ish to make rational posts about the numbers.
I challenge you to find a significant number of posters or posts that deny the market is different for cbms now.
Has anyone posted a prediction for more than $300m domestic? That’s losing about a third of first gross (with inflation). Everyone is agreeing drop will be significant.
The stans are being very reasonable.
The fatiguers are acting like this is their Super Bowl.-

Part of my optimism over the OW/start is that the field should be pretty open.
11/3 -Priscilla from A2410/27 - Friday Night at Freddy’s
10/20 - Killers of the Flower Moon
10/13 - Taylor Swift concert movie
FNAF and KOTFM will do well, but seem like pretty different audiences. Due respect to Priscilla, but the 11/3 weekend allows for more burn off in interest everything else.
Taylor movie will be massive of course. Certainly some overlap in audience or at least hoped for audience. I give big credit to anyone who correctly predicts Taylor movie well. Seems like legs would burn out but we are merely living in her world so… I don’t know.
Will seeing Marvels trailers push interest from young female fans? Maybe wishful thinking. We’ll see. -

Why are people constantly acting like this thread is some kind of unique dumpster fire when it’s really rather tame and civil?I don’t spend a lot of time in other threads this far out or if I will never see it I almost always stay out of threads when my main purpose would be to say, “I don’t feel buzz for a movie that would never interest me.”
(Sound of Freedom was an exception because it was an abomination that deserved mockery.)
I guess I’m fascinated by how many people are (arguably) concern trolling. Separately, I think some of the conversation is driven by girls-are-icky thinking.

I’m just being stupid and snarky.
Maybe this movie will exceed my expectations. Maybe it will be the struggle others see for it and I can be crushed for stanning for it.
However, completely normal things are going on with the promotion and marketing for this movie. Pretty much every MCU movie has done these things.

It’s really a crazy concept. First movie was set in 1990s with a character who was a kid. Second movie is set in 2020s and character is an adult.
Questions…If a character is older in a sequel, are they really the same character or is the character older by virtue of being older?
Has it ever happened in a CBM or any movie that a character has been recast because the movie is set when the character’s age is different?
Is Iron Man’s suit actually Iron?

GOTG 3 only opened with $118M despite phenomenal word of mouth. People probably just aren't interest in The Marvels.
What are you basing pre-OW phenomenal WOM on?

As serious as this whole matter is, I appreciate Bradley Whitford staying in character as Josh Lyman.

Dude, presales haven’t started.

That’s a good recent example.
To me, it’s clear that it is rare for a sequel to drop so much in this day and age. Not impossible—just not likely.
Yes.
The reasons for the sequel here to drop are real, but the math for some of these predictions is pretty unlikely given where CM landed.
I’m not gonna get over it being lumped in with AM as a franchise. -
Yeah. It’s really unlikely that an MCU movie will cross $100 million domestic OW. I mean, zero of the last six of them have failed to make that mark, too.
Black Widow didn’t make that mark for no reason. Shang-Chi also.

I know the arguments, but I’ll beat a dead horse.
CM did twice what the each of the last two AM movies domestically. There aren’t enough negatives to bring it that far down.
Are people really so mad at AM3 and TLT that they will punish this movie so severely?I vote no.

Hey, hey, hey!
The important thing is that Tim Ballard is raising awareness of sexually harassing people.
How can anyone possibly critique this good, good man?-

I love that Maher went with the scolding dad energy to cover himself.
Well! If you kids can get your shit together, I might get you ice cream.
what a jerk.

I honestly think some of the pile on was a bit unnecessary and some of her peers need to perhaps think before they post their thoughts. Most were fine but some like Bradley Whitford for example just came across as nasty and almost threatening.
You think people are trying to be mad, they’re overreacting, this stuff is forgettable… I’m pretty sure that people who are economically and philosophically committed to this don’t need your advice.

I can’t link the source, but the neckbeards-who-wish-Brie-Larson-who-just-be-quiet-and-marry-them projections are…
$53 OW
$92 domestic total
$185 worldwide total

Update: Bill Maher is trash.
His tweet about this was completely on brand. He’s serving money and ego, but he still has the gall to suggest he’s doing it for other lower-paid workers.

I 100% agree on AM3 being important on momentum.
No doubt it was bad. I was hoping for the big AM finale with him getting a bigger stage, blah, blah. It did not work.
I question why GOTG 3 wouldn’t counteract that some more than others think, but any good feels from BPWF doing pretty well we’re flattened.
