Reviews came in. 70 on MetaCritic and 85% on RT, but I've also seen a few mixed reactions too

That ass is terrifying stuff

I just hope they bring back that IHOP menu. I tried it out of morbid curiosity and it was surprisingly better than I thought it would be.

I hate to be that guy and steal from the New Mutants thread, but I honestly thought this would have another delay announcement when I saw the thread bumped.

I mean...you kinda got what you wanted

Keep your shirt on I like that movie too 😂

@charlie Jatinder I had to adjust this BW/TROS comp, because I added in three new theaters since the pandemic. Adjusted, BW is 0.202x of TROS. That translates to...8.09M. This shows just how preview-driven SW is, because at this point in time, TROS sold 13,050 tickets. That's lightyears ahead of every other comp I have from 2019 (didn't track Endgame just for clarification). So yeah, maybe don't pay any mind to this comp in the future. The closest to this is Lion King, which (again, adjusted), translates to about 0.426x for Black Widow. That's about...9.8M. So yeah, I don't think I'm doing 2019 comparisons anymore.

Not sure why though.

It could also be that people are waiting for more showtimes to pop up. While not all of them are filled up, a lot of the good times are already very populated so I think some people could be waiting for that. I dunno, I'm just theorizing here.

Just finished rewatching Superman. I know the whole "they don't make them like they used to" is a little unfair to a lot of great filmmakers today, but...man they don't make it like they used to. It feels so nice to have a sincere, hopeful, optimistic superhero movie that doesn't force out a million jokes or tries to deconstruct the superhero narrative. It's just a passionate, kind look at an amazing hero that effortlessly blends comedy and drama and heroics into a beautiful package and I really hope we get something like this again.

Oh ho ho yes please

I just hope this really picks up momentum these final few days

I dunno man. Maybe someday

The only anime I've ever watched was Pokemon

Just did a quick comp. T-5 days before release, Black Widow's Thursday is 8.658x of Cruella's Thursday and Friday numbers. That translates to...66.73M for Black Widow's Thursday...and now you know why we aren't comping this.
