Pearl Harbor's special effects still look amazing despite it being 18 years old. The power of peak BAY.
-
The most anticipated non sequel of all time no doubt
-
Ok spoiler me plz, what is this big gasp ending?
-
This will be DEAD ON ARRIVAL ala MEN IN BLACK
Better off just making this an original film and not calling it charlies angels
-
Maybe she'll be more levelheaded than that buffoon Kevin Tsuihara?

It's not going to be Pattinson. Cavill is tempting if Superman's done but he could use some more swag/humor for the Bond role. I like the idea of a slightly non-traditional casting same as Craig was.
Henry Golding would be solid

someone send me the spoilers plz?

Odd but a Nolan flop could be what leads us to INCEPTION 2 which would do $150/$550/$1.4b if Leo returned
-
Need to quickly announce Leo's presence ASAP to justify that cost
-
Is this secretly an INCEPTION sequel? Thats a shit load of money

@excel1 if I may make an observation, you are WAY too obsessed with copying the "Marvel formula" exactly. And I do mean exactly.
The truth of the matter is, IW/EG would have dominated anywhere on the calendar placement. Stick either of them in January for criminy's sakes and I doubt it would have mattered that much in the end.
There is nothing magical about the last weekend of April/first weekend of May. Nothing. Zip. Nada. Zilch.
That Marvel is dominating there with its movies is something of an accident of history but mostly just good planning on the crafting end of storytelling.
Black Widow isn't moving. Or if it is, it'll just move up a week in to April and not care about WW1984. After all, when Deadpool 2 moved up a week (which in retrospect still baffles me), Disney just yawned and moved IW up one week into the last week of April. If WB is so stupid as to move WW1984 into the second week of May, BW will probably just jump up to mid-April and not care in the slightest.
Going "first" isn't really all that important in the end. Being better is. And WW1984 is getting more than enough positive buzz that it won't matter where it's at.
As I pointed out before, it already has a empty week before it (presuming Artemis Fowl crashes and burns) and after it. The second week before it had FF9 which is... whatever. Two weeks after WW1984 is Pixar. Big deal, as JW and IO showed.
If and only if Artemis Fowl starts to gain some momentum and buzz is there any cause for concern, IMO. And even then I tend to think it's going to be in WW1984's shadow, not the other way around.
tl;dr: Stop obsessing over the Marvel Method and just let WW1984 dominate where it is at. Quality and buzz win out more times than not. And as JW and countless other movies have shown, you don't have to be 'first' to rake in a LOT of money.
Nope. Cannot and should not be leaving a single dollar on the table. Cement WW as an Batman/Iron-man/Spider-man sized draw. Make her the center of the attention. This needs to open first.

Openings aren't everything. WW out grossed every film of the summer.
And BatB wasn't summer by any definition
WW84 could do $200m/$550m opening in late April. Current date, $140m/425m

WW was untested and was coming off JL. People were skeptical. This time around it won't have the same problem. The hype is too big. It will be a smash
WW opened before JL

Yeah, like how WW was the movie event of summer 2017 when it was released at...
*checks*
Hmm, this can't be right. It was released at the beginning of June, a well known dead zone for movies.
WW opened to way less than Guardians, Beauty and Beast, and Spiderman...
-
If its good, make this the movie event of the summer. c'mon plz.

WW84, leading off the summer and as the first major comic book film in nearly a year (I don't really count BIRDS OF PREY) will open to gangbusters numbers. It will be the main event of quarters 1 and 2 of 2020.
Release after a slew of large hit and it won't do near as much. Facts

WW had really strong marketing, you can’t blame the marketing. In my opinion, the damage from the past DCEU movies is what caused it to go low (note: IIRC it had the highest solo CBM debut at the time).
I mean AOU did less than JW with the first of May corridor.
MayPac hurt Dulltron a lot. JW also opened after several weekends full of small openers. San Andreas w/ only $54m was biggest opening over previous 3 weeks, nobody else broke $33m.

It's not trolling. The "isolation" factor is a significant variable these days. BP opened in a dead market- huge fish in a small pond. Early June is a vastly different market

No. I don’t think it is increasing 100% from OW in the May slot, no CBM in recent years (ie. 2008-19 has done that with out serious team ups like or strong home video sales like TDK).
WW's weekend was artificially low. It's release date sucked as did its marketing for the most part.
ISOLATE THIS MOVIE AND IT WILL EXPLODE. Last weekend of April - DO IT

No. No CBM other than the upcoming Avengers 5 is doing a $200M OW even if WW1984 kickstarted the summer.
WW84 will absolutely open to $200m if it kicks off the summer. If it blends in with everything else by opening in middle of June, different story.

Just like CA3 moved back when BvS was scheduled to be released on the same day as it?
That was for like 2 weeks
-
Black Widow will no doubt move if WW84 moves up. WW will open to $200m if it moves up and is the star of the summer; it will open in 120-130 range if it stays where it is
