    Missing a potential $10M in Russia definitely hurts. Add that plus China and Japan if they debuted same time as everyone else and we would have been looking at $135M+

     

     

    avatar 2 missing 500m plus from russia + china hurts also why do you have to remind me

     

    So how are we thinking this movie will do?
    Been hearing $600-650m

    A critics job is to watch a film and offer their opinion of the film. Not to predict the box office, nor to predict how others may feel about it.

    Well then rotten tomatoes is the problem.

     

    If critics opinions are unique and only meant to be their opinion and not predicting how others feel, why does rotten tomatoes aggregate them?

    Dude, I like those movies too, but they aren't "prestige cinema" by any stretch of the imagination. They're just fun, well-made toy commercials that got hyped up and are popular because of nostalgia and flashy spectacle. They aren't highbrow features for intellectuals and aren't any different from the design and appeal of those Marvel pieces people are trying to shade. Those movies just executed it better.

     

    If anything, people are more averse and appalled than ever to actual prestige cinema judging by the godawful numbers of Fabelmans and The Northman.

    Avatar 2 is about to make 2.3 billies

    @IronJimbo This "Disney doesn't actually own Avatar" nonsense isn't funny anymore. I don't care what "evidence" you have. It always derails threads and starts pointless flame wars and we don't need this energy. Please stop with this.

    There's no 'evidence' eitherway you should know. I accept you find it pointless and this is your land (shout out to jake sully) so I won't bring it up anymore.

    If Marvel makes the AM4 and if they make it well, it will still do only 500M, and people will still call it a flop. Do you know why? Because sites like Deadline and Variety will give a random budget figure of 200 or 250 million without having any idea of what the actual budget is.

    People made up a fake $2b break even point for Avatar 2, so they could flame it even if it did well. Didn't matter though cos it makes 2.3 billies lmao

    I have to say that Marvel have had some run churning out multiple movies every year off their factory production line since 2008, and its only now 15 years later that its starting to look like superhero fatigue is kicking in with the GA.

    Even then, their films are probably still going to be making big groses for years to come.

     

    I personaly thought fatigue would of kicked ina few years ago already. Marvel have done well.

    As soon as they lost Iron Man and Captain America after Endgame's massive peak, the only way was down from there.

     

    I wonder if Marvel's business model and strategy of staying as a main interest was annihilated by Covid. Think about it, people had been getting 4 movies a year or whatever for over half a decade. Then boom, everyone goes cold turkey for 18 months or whatever.

     

    A lot of people just lost interest of that?

     

    but yeah, the repetitive formula being overplayed for too long alongside of the loss of the main characters and also some mediocre movies was the killer

    This should be Marvel's top priority.  By far. 

     

    Wakanda Forever is the only film that has looked decent in so long. How do they plan on keep getting the "big screen spectacle" money if these movies end up looking a cheap (!) Spy Kids? 

     

    (+ we all know audiences would be more forgiving overall) 

    Ant-man 3 cost $200m, where is that budget going?

    REPOSTING FROM YESTERDAY!

    We have the top 10 biggest second weekend drops here (>$50m OW)

    After this Wednesday number I reckon it could make top 3.

  9. MCU fans should be happy with less than $4m wednesday. If this 2nd weekend turbo bombs then maybe MCU take a step back and reinvent themselves, too many movies in a row without innovating or changing things up. I'm starting to see MCU fans saying they're getting bored

    I was going for a 65% drop for Ant-Man next weekend but am starting to move towards a 67%. How it does today and tomorrow will decide if I'm gonna join the 70% drop club. If that or something close to it happens you can expect a Doctor Strange 3 announcment on Monday.

     

    Also hello I'm new.

    hello there, i'm IronJimbo. If you weren't already aware I run things around here, basically anything I say goes. Watch out for pretenders with colourful names and fake titles.

     

    I'll join you in that 70% drop club if you join it, I like your style already

    He has had history of rounding down numbers. Like the figure is $7.6M for example, and he'll report $7M. 😂😂😂

    Is it really so difficult to understand his method? If you see a decimal all you have to do is flip and coin then round up for heads and down for tails
