Well, that will be the last time a MCU movie made so much money. There is never going to be another MCU hit like Endgame. Let them have it.

As long as it passes Jurassic World and Titanic for number 8, I'm game. I think Infinity War mayyyybe a bridge too far to cross

Watch Dead to Me for a double dose of James Marsden glory.

How can it be miscalculated if the son of the real person she is playing is behind the camera?

You should trigger Legion by writing "Is 3M for PiB LOCKED?"

6,8m is very good, but is the stupid doll movie cutting into God Cameron's legs? I will need it to stop doing that.

Completely unrelated, but we need a "EAT SHIT" emoji of Chris Evans from Knives Out.

MI7 will. John Wick 4 will.

It’s not by accident that the year belonged to two superstars, Tom Cruise and James Cameron, instead of run of the mill franchise fare.

That's freaking fantastic. Now make it 11.

Then it’s less risky that a movie that needs almost 1,5bn to break even anyway you see it, with the added ridiculousness of “no culture imprint” etc.

Isn’t a movie that requires at least 1,4bn to break even risky?

Goodness me, 88-89m is happening. How grand it must be to be Cameron and see other mega-directors (eg Spielberg) produce flop after flop. He really is in a league of his own. edit: sorry, reposted by mistake. It’s been a while..

Yeah, I do think it's unfair and hypocritical and it's bad that you are taking sides. I don't care what EC would say, as I don't know or speak for him. Legion called foolish both EC and whoever agreed with him on the LOCKED issue and I happened to agree with him, so foolish applied for me too. You seem very ready to show the door to users and, from my part, there's no reason to be active in such a place. Adieu.

Comedy gold You continue being ironic. What sort of entitlement is this? Really, are there even moderators in here?

Well, that derogatory term would normally be enough for you to get points and I wonder why you didn't. Since you didn't, and I suppose not for the moderators not noticing your post, then I will proceed to say that maybe the one who still looks incredibly foolish is the one who clearly has some sort of dislike or beef with EC and insisted - and still does - at a worrying level, by bad mouthing both EC and everyone who agreed with him. EC was clearly correct and it wasn't that hard to tell even back then. If your insistence of not accepting the word "LOCKED" owes to the data not supporting this at the time, I think EC was experienced enough and had an overall view that allowed him to exclaim as much. I call on the moderators to express their opinion on the highlighted post of Legion By Night.

Very true. He was the first one who said it and stood by it when many doubted it. And there was just one that so vehemently and stubbornly denied the "LOCKED" factor, which was kind of silly on his/her behalf. The movie had amazing momentum and, in retrospect (barren release landscape, weak releases), it's embarrassing that he was opposed by supposedly experienced box office trackers. Also, on the "Who cares" question, the answer is that after EC was evicted, these threads are close to dead, without the spark of early predictions. I didn't always agree with the guy but come on, it's a box office tracking thread, if someone's being an ass, on a reasonable scale at least, we should maaaaybe be a little more thick skinned.

LOL at efforts to paint ANY aspect of the TGM triumphant release as “underperformance”.

Empire City, and with the experience and data to back it up.

OF COURSE he is coming back and I suspect sooner rather than later. Everyone comes back eventually, be it the original SW trio, or the original JP trio or Harrison Ford as Indy etc, and you know the HP trio will eventually be coming back in some sort of sequel. He will be coming back, it’s not like he is a commercial draw in anything else.

It needs an efficient boost for 700 mil and it’s getting there. Bullet train reviews will diminish the threat it poses.

It's all got to do with the ticket prices. I understand that pointing out ticket inflation renders any current box office conversation moot and ...unsexy, but we should always point out that behemoths like The Avengers and especially Titanic are very hard to beat. Titanic in particular is an once in a lifetime phenomenon and while I am happy for Top Gun 2 for surpassing it soon, Titanic's admissions is a thing of beauty, a true cultural moment in history.

Like Tommy boy would let them do that.
