Partly true, but even with Guardians becoming more well known for Vol 2, the seasonality effect outweighed the awareness effect when it came to preview to OW multi. I really think a mixture of WoM, NBA Finals, More Woman and Family Skewing (not YA franchise skewing though), and it being early June are going to lead to a stronger IM than people are expecting.

I don't think Guardians is a good comparison. Early August and July previews are much larger than early june, summers only just now starting to kick in. Next, the NBA final took away a lot of the audience, who may just show up later during the weekend. Lastly, this movie is going to skew more female than any other Superhero film, but I don't think in a frontloaded way. I see it having a better than normal IM even without taking into consideration the muted NBA thursday. I wouldn't really claim anything to be dead yet, I'd still wait and see.

It depends on how you personally want to do it. That's usually the range for school grades. Generallyc anything 6 or above is considered a positive review.

I usually see 9 and 10 as A, 7 and 8 as B, 5 and 6 as C, 3 and 4 as D, ans 0 through 2 as an F

I thought this was really good. Great even. Theres some nitpicks I have, and it isn't a perfect movie, but whenever the movie made me start to question a decision something happened that immersed me back in and made me forget about my internal complaint (I constantly criticize movies in my head when I watch them. I know I'm enjoying it when I'm engaged and forget about my complaints.) I'll start with my few nitpicks 1. The villains always pulled me out, Gadot and Pine are just so compelling on screen that any scene without them falls flat. Luckily there's very little of the movie without the two of them. 2. Ares was a little too hammy at parts, however I was fine with the cheesiness of his part, it made it fun. I could have done with a little less "JOIN ME" monologues at the end, especially at the emotional climax. 3. It takes the film a bit to get going. I enjoyed the beginning, but it wasn't as eye glueing as the rest of it. 4. Some of the transitions between scenes and moments are a tad jarring. 5. The third act is a little convoluted and could've used a bit more work. But it's nothing like the third act messes of the other DCEU movies, it didn't detract much from the movie for me. Onto the good parts 1. Gadot is stunning as Wonder Woman. She's probably the most perfectly cast Superhero since Downey Jr as Iron Man. 2. Pine is also great in the movie. And not just tentpole solid, I found him and Gadot to deliver really solid performances. The best acting in a blockbuster since The Force Awakens 3. I loved the visual style, it was eye popping and exciting. It's not bland and desaturated like most of the Marvel movies, and it's not overly grim and ugly like the other three DCEU films. It was a striking balance. 4. THAT NO MAN'S LAND SEQUENCE 5. I loved the optimism of the movie, it was something that I haven't seen in a Superhero film since the original Spider-Man movies. It also never came off as cheesy, simply sincere. 6. It has a lot of wit and humor to it, but not in a forced one liner way. The humor feels natural, and it works well for that. It doesn't suck you out of the movie, and it's not a "*wink* this is silly isn't it?" kind of humor. 7. I couldn't contrast this enough from the other DCEU films. Everything they did wrong, this does right. 8. It just feels so refreshing. So many of the tentpoles now feel so samey and formulaic. And while this does follow the three act blockbuster structure, it does so in a way where you feel like you're watching something new (yet also warmly familiar). It plays all of its beats really well. 9. The score is really strong, it's one of the better superhero scores. 10. There's so many honest and quiet moments that I thought really shined. They let the characters take time to breathe, and those parts really worked. 11. Being self-contained and focused on the heroine really works well for it. 12. The messaging is realistic and hopeful. There's also some great, inspirational hero lines in this movie that just give the more a hopeful tone to it all. I wish Hollywood let their blockbusters have this outlook more often. Overall, I really enjoyed this movie. If I were to rank my favorite comic book movies this would easily make the top 10, probably even the top 5. It leaves you wanting more and wanting to watch it again. A

I'm thinking 15m Previews 55 OD 135m OW

Mummy 22.75m OW confirmed.

I think this seems like a much more spur of the moment viewing kind of movie, especially with reviews. Of course it'll be frontloaded due to fanboys, but I see it being more walk up oriented compared to the rest of DCs films. I can see it really hitting home with families and older audiences, as well as younger ones.

This is getting good reviews?

Lol, calm down. Studios lowball their estimates all of the time, it makes it where even if the film actually disappoints they can claim it was in line with their expectations. That's just business practice.

How about they cut the Bumblebee and Talking Robots and keep Steinfeld and Knight?

Wow, what genius thought of this club??

FTFY

I'm so pumped for this movie!

Prometheus is partly responsible for Covenant having a mild OW (I'd still focus more on the marketing), however it's Covenant's quality and mismarketing that's causing the terrible legs and underperformance.

Yeah, BATB was huge and I definitely wouldn't expect WW to match it.

Plus, late legs tend to be better than early legs for well-received tentpoles.

Yeah tracking can be off in either direction. But I am seeing Wonder Woman beat tracking, especially since reviews look good.

Lol, it's not a good movie. The only thing the movie has going for it are the watchable leading trio really. The movie is insultingly stupid, there are a few moments where it tries to act aware of how stupid it is, and it just makes it worse. It'd be okay if it was comically stupid, but it's not. I chuckled a few times, and I laughed at one scene, the rest is pretty dull. I also really didn't like any of the characters in the movie. I probably liked Efron's the most, but even his arc is fairly jolted. The Rock is charismatic but I mostly innerly groaned and cringed at the antics going on. D+

Also, the answer for 10 is 100m - (Combined preview total) NOT Combined Preview Total correct?

I bet two people 50 points Wonder Woman opens over 120m DOM I bet two people 50 points Captain Underpants opens over Mr Peabody and Sherman OW DOM I bet two people 50 points Pirates drops under 60% this weekend I bet two people 50 points Guardians drops under 50%
