So...
A+ CS, 96% RT, 9.3 on Maoyan, high ratings in basically every country.
I know DH2 was universally loved and really frontloaded, but the franchise had been relying more and more on fans.
Now, the MCU usually excels on Saturday so we'll see if this behaves like a regular MCU film (which IT CAN'T, RIGHT???????)

Rachel Weisz is one of the most respected acttreses in the business, but trust people here to only remember her for "THe Mummy".
You mean the Mummy movies that are her 2 biggest grossers adjusted for inflation?
Why on earth would most people not remember her for her biggest hits? Am I missing something?

Some numbers from Colombia
+100k admissions Midnight (they were only allowed to do 1 show per screen, but most theaters were playing it on all screens anyway)
715k total presales.
Projected 6m admissions total.
All of them are records (duh)

Cheapest tickets I found was at $2.5, most expensive at $8 while most of them were around $4.5 I would say.
The app for the biggest chain is currently crashed (I've seen a lot of sellouts, even on Tuesday, not only the weekend) so this is doing absolutely monster numbers around here.

Is it too late to put Let It Go over the Japanese trailers? Japan seems like the only place where it won't break out.

Not even IW OD + AoU OD? Why is SK underperforming so bad?

Well damn. How possible is it that it opens higher in China than America? Because that would be fucking crazy.
China opening with +300m doesn't mean it'll open higher than America

They just updated showtimes on the biggest theater here in Medellin.
Shazam and Llorona have 1 screen (while Dumbo has the morning shows on those screens). Everything else is Endgame.

Anything less than 300m and Disney should consider replacing Feige
Maybe not Feige but the Russo brothers are gone if it doesn't do 307m.
We all know what happened to the last Avengers director that didn't beat the last one by 50m.

I dont know how culturally different are US Latinos, but isn't Easter a really bad release date for this?
Or are they banking on many off-days here in Latin America this week? Either way it does sound a bit absurd thinking Latinos want to watch a horror movie on Easter (perhaps I'm completely wrong)

My predictions are:
DOM: 275M
CHN: 260M
OS: 440M (15% increase)
That adds up to 975M. It needs to find another 25M to hit the $1B mark.

I guess it would depend on how much they change Starfox, and they're gonna have to, but making your first gay character in the MCU one who was an infamous womanizer from the comics could be problematic. It plays into some old stereotypes.
We can have more than one openly gay actor even if it's just one gay character.
Not happening, though.

Nice hold for CM. With Easter and EG I think we'll see some great holds in the next 2 weeks.

This actually looks really good. Visually it is great movie.
But that's basically the only thing that works in the movie.
It might find a bigger audience with streaming and TV, though. It's not something that will bother you if you watch it, but I wish I hadn't spent money on theaters.

A full year before it hits Latin America? Ugh.

I think spillover will be huge. They can always add more screens during the OW but they can't add more premium screens (given that all of them were already booked and are mostly sold out)
The IMAX screen near me is sold out for Wednesday midnight, 95% for Thursday, 85% for Friday through Sunday (only 2 front rows available) but it's also 80% for Discount Tuesday.
Some (probably quite a lot) fans might have missed good seats on OD and already bought tickets for a second show with better seats (like me) or some might have missed them entirely and bought seats for a standard 2D show on OD and IMAX tickets for some other day. I don't know if it's just my city but the most expensive tickets in every theater are gone (IMAX, 4DX, Platinum, 3D) with only the 2D shows being half-full.
Btw, in comparison, I bought IW tickets 2 days before opening and they were nice seats but it still sold out at the end (midnight show so most likely fans). Perhaps a lot of people that aren't used buy them so early will spread out through weekdays and 2nd weekend.

This was nice enough. I really liked the 2 leads, and the kids. The villain was meh but the intro scene was great.
The 3rd act CGI battle felt too long, but this is something the "genre" seems to keep coming back to. The Shazam family was a nice surprise, looking forward to see them a bit more (also hope they explore the wizard stuff, sounds interesting)
The mom scene was heartbreaking.
Overall the cast was pretty nice and the movie was fun.

Captain Marvel was a movie particularly free of any politics message (we are from Casablanca / Gone With the Wind or even Batman V Superman), has for the no one want it:
Total Lifetime GrossesDomestic: $374,133,563 36.0% + Foreign: $664,099,896 64.0%
= Worldwide: $1,038,233,459 Or maybe I missed it (not being American make that easy), what politics were inserted here (free college, medicare for all, stopping supporting Israel, building the wall/limiting immigration, breaking big techs ?)
It was clearly about Hillary not smiling enough during the elections.

Question, do theaters book more/less screens to the movies based on Maoyan rating (as a predictor) or strictly based on PTA?
Like does the maoyan rating affect directly or is it just an indicator of good/bad reception?

I mean changing what a Shazam sequel would do in Asia is pretty simple; Add much more action in the sequel so it becomes a normal superhero film there. If that is something Shazam should do or not is another question all together. After all Shazam catered to American tastes and earned an A in cinemascore, so to change that liked formula just to please Asia may be right from a box office perspective, but still questionable.
Of course its important to grow in Asia but for smaller scale movies like Shazam the domestic box office will be much more important. Even if it earned the max it could do in Asia Shazam would never be a hit there, its in the US that Shazam had potential to be a well revieved movie.
Adding action scenes means increasing the budget, for a sequel that might or might not increase in Asia is a very risky move that studios might not want to take (after so many movies have bombed after trying to cater to the Asian market).
If you also take into account that Europe isn't that into SH movies, LA hasn't done great like the genre usually does and that domestic is under $200m (unless it develops some great legs against Endgame) their best option is to keep the budget low. Bank on <200m DOM and keep losing OS audience is not a good scenario for future movies.

A $ is a $ no matter where it comes from.
Sure, US ancillary market is better than China and all emerging markets, but they make it up with market growth (meaning $100m could do $150 with the sequel without breaking out in a big way).
That's why SW being completely irrelevant in Asia and LA is a big worry for the franchise, no matter how huge it is in traditional markets.
Shazam! will still make money, but trying to deny this could change sequel plans (especially given how reactionary DC is) and even the Black Adam movie is ridiculous.

I would say that IW turned the MCU into a presales heavy franchise in the same way The Avengers turned it from a niche franchise to general audience's favorite. (Both on a WW scale)
Aren't CM and AM2 some of (if not the most) frontloaded/presales heavy Marvel movies?

Besides, those types of movies have to deal with lethal opponents : TV, streaming.
I would say that these movies are actually more popular than box office would led us to believe.
As big as horror is right now, I consider it to be much popular when you factor people watching it at home. Same with Netflix romantic comedies (that gave Noah roles with studios, his new Netflix movie has nice trailer views, his social media stats) in contrast to every comedy bombing lately (except CRA DOM).
Even the non-Disney animated movies and the awards contenders have a way bigger audience at home.
It's just that people don't go to the theater for certain kind of movies, and those are the movies that Disney doesn't make. Hopefully they'll change strategy after launching their streaming service.

That'd be pretty good. Not a huge success but far from a bomb.
I'd expect $500m OS for a decent +$700 WW total.
