GOTG and GOTGV2 are your space operas.
Ant-Man is your heist movie.
Kingsman is James Bond.
Deadpool is your classic revenge story.
Split and Unbreakable are straight up thrillers.
Black Panther is being described as another James Bond espionage movie.
Wonder Woman and Captain America 1 are war movies.
New Mutants seems to be heading for a horror vibe.
Logan is a straight up western.
They all have superhero elements but are different movies. And we just started
I'm going to sound a bit naive for asking but how competition is a bigger deal for CU? BB is doing $175M+ and dealt with Beast and Smurfs. Even summer family movies like Turbo, Planes, Kubo and Pete's Dragon pulled of 3x multiples.
I have to say Dreamworks did a major rebound from 2014. Never thought of Boss Baby outgrossing Lego Batman. Captain Underpants will likely continue the $150M streak Domestic for DWA.
Not to mention it'll still keep it's 3D screens if that helps. TWS dropped 38% on third weekend and dealt with an IMAX opener. Ant Man dropped 48% on its third weekend with an IMAX opener.
I think even without Bucky, Black Panther will explode. Marvel picked the perfect spot for it. BP gets a 4 Day weekend with weak competition and opens inside of Black History Month.
IM2, AOU, CW, and IM3 dropped around 59.4-60%, from OW on their second weekend. 2 of them had their second weekend on Mother's Day. GV2 dropped similar to TWS second weekend. It could even go up from estimates.
