I've already got plans to bombard all these doubters with Timothee fancams if this does well and I can't wait. I do disagree with this. You are aware that people can be excited or interested in a movie and also predict it will do poorly at the box office, right? And last time I checked, this is a box office forum.

Well aware of that. However, I want to see stronger numbers because that says to me there is a strong demand and that stronger numbers are around the corner for films that have more hype and more going for them. I've said this before, but I am afraid that Memorial Day could have just been a fluke and that the summer (and maybe even beyond) will see muted openings. And while F9 will open better than Quiet Place 2, I feel that a number in the mid-60s, low-60s at the very least, would signal to me an appetite for moviegoing and suggest more confidence that Black Widow or Suicide Squad or Space Jam or whatever will see really strong results. Maybe the demand for this movie wasn't there and the market will be strong well into the end of the year. But at this point, I think seeing how other openers improve on themselves and their individual strengths say a lot more to me at this point in time. Of course, I'm saying this as one of the more pessimistic members here in regards to the box office. I'm still convinced theaters are going to go through a lot of hassles and that numbers could be depressed from now on, and it'll take a lot to convince me otherwise.

Maybe I'm missing something here, and I'm aware H&S is a spin-off, but this seems a bit frontloaded, no? Sub-60 means a less than 8.45x, and I don't think this is a series that is that fan-driven. If this does turn out true, then I have to admit that only doing around Quiet Place 2 numbers, or possibly less, is a bit disappointing and doesn't dissuade my fears for the health of the box office.
