  1. Not to add to the debate but i find Deadpool too vulgar to be considered best of anything.

     

    I just hate when movies rely or sell vulgarity wrapped in humour.  It kinda cheapen the whole cinematic experience in my view.  

     

    Many french movies, especially comedies have adopted that route with some clear inclination to scatological juvenile type of humour, hence i hate current french cinema while the old movies from both Italy and France  and even Germany were among the best that cinema as a whole could offer, especially when it comes to the the dramatic movies.  Even humour back then was more witty, less under the belt, nasty type.

  3. I don't think FB will hit hard a movie like DS in its third weekend.

     

    However i expect it to open huge because it may follow HP franchise frontloadness nature with a huge opening followed by a huge second weekend drop, especially while facing Moana.

     

    Luckily though, I hope it won't behave like the Twilight or HP franchise on the domestic front and stabilise on the low end as soon as it hit the second weekend, as those franchises remain the biggest 100+ openers with the highest second weekend drop (not taking into account the DCEU) followed by subsequents big drops.

    5th Writethru , Saturday AM after Friday 11:30PM: Moviegoing is getting quite a boost this weekend thanks to Veterans Day falling on a Friday. Not only are holdovers overindexing, but Paramount’s Arrival is flying past its $15M forecast with an estimated $23.4M. As distribution suits like to say, when there’s a majority of titles appealing to various crowds, it’s an embarrassment of riches.

    .....

    Based on early morning estimates, Disney/Marvel’s Doctor Strange collected $14.9M on Friday taking its 3-day to $43M. That will easily beat the $36.6M second weekend of Marvel’s previous fall superhero movie Thor: The Dark World. By Sunday, Doctor‘s running cume of $153M will be pacing 6% ahead of Thor 2 which finaled at $206.4M.

     

    1). Doctor Strange  (DIS), 3,882 theaters / $14.9M Fri. (-54%)/ 3-day cume: $43M (-49%) /Total cume: $153M/Wk 1

    2). Trolls  (DWA/20th Century Fox), 4.066 theaters (+6) / $12.3M Fri. (0%) / 3-day cume: $34.8M (-25%) /Total Cume: $93.7M/Wk 1

    3). Arrival  (PAR), 2,317 theaters / $9.3M Fri. (includes $1.45m previews) / 3-day cume: $23.4M/ Wk 1

    4). Almost Christmas  (UNI), 2,376 theaters / $5.9M Fri. (includes $500K previews) / 3-day cume: $15.3M/ Wk 1

    5). Hacksaw Ridge  (Lionsgate), 2,971 theaters / $3.8M Fri. (-28%) /$5.9M Sat./$3.5M Sun/ 3-day cume: $11.5M (-24%)/Total: $32.9M/ Wk 2

    You don't get it do you. Bad legs for these DC films is IRRELEVANT if the total gross ends up good or great. Yes the legs are bad, and so what?

     

    You are partially right.

     

    You are right in the sense that the total gross ending up good deosn't impact that movie financial result that much.

     

    But bad wom on a first movie impact the potential legs and opening reception of the direct sequel.  It also makes the franchise peaking too soon BO wise.

     

    Basicly it increases not only the likelihood of having a direct sequel opening lower but also increases even more the potential of it being even more frontloaded than sequels usually are.

     

    A first movie with a poor wom, no matter how big its final BO is decreases the likelihood and longevity of the franchises. 

     

    All three DCEU movies so far may end up being the peak financial wise of their proper franchise because the bad WOM of the first movie prevent them to build major goodwill for the potential direct sequels and accelerate the natural BO erosion of the following sequels.

    Nobody was saying Harley Quinn is an A-list until after the first tracking number came in. When SS was announced the collective response was WTF? And these over $100M OW posts didn't begin until a couple months out. Most thought between $60-80M

     

     

    She certainly had more recognition than anyone from the GOTG and had been featured in many cartoons for decades alongside the Joker.    

     

    And again Batman and the Joker were higlight point of marketing and you can't have better as CBM hero and villain.  They are both the biggest known CBM characters as villain and hero.

     

    Again there was noone in terms of comparative notoriety in GOTG trerelease.   The marketing in here started from no fanbase whatsoever on a complete obscure property with not a single notorious character to promote as a linchpad.

     

    So trying to compare them like they had the same fanbase to start with or the same assets character wise is totally flawn.
