Damn near impossible. Wasn't that likely prepandemic. Expecting a 30% increase when FFH literally was a bridge post end game and continued the story of iron man is a bit optimistic. Very similar to saying captain marvel 2 won't hit 530 domestic. Personally I think without endgame CM 2 without the pandemic is lucky to hit 300m domestic. No way home though still could have done 400+ due to the cast, multiverse and other elements. Depends of wom. FFH had a ton of issues but it was fun! It's got a Christmas run and if we can get boosters and 5-11 vaccines in maybe we can still see awesome numbers (350-400 domestic?)

China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30
cdsacken replied to A Marvel Fanboy's topic in China At The Box Office
They did but there's still a lot of animosity as Trump really pushed the envelope the last four years. China retaliated in fair game and there's been a tit for tat for years. Japan and others are pressuring America to join the TPP. Well it's not politically viable right now it could be later and that would piss off China to no end The US has grave concerns about China's actions in Hong Kong, the crackdown and the tech world, and what happens in the future what Taiwan. I hope both sides are reasonable and they come to an agreement that makes neither side happy as that's what it probably should be. I'm just a bit pessimistic given the last 5 years. -
Black Widow | July 9 2021 | ScarJo secures the bag from Disney

Unfortunately this is not true if she really was requesting a hundred million in compensation of above the 20. She was projecting 1.2 billion when she could have best hopes for maybe 900. China is out independent of the pandemic which will really screws her negotiations. Had she asked for 50 and been willing to settle for less on top of the 20 I think her lawsuit would serve more merit but right now she absolutely does look insanely greedy. She's not RDJ, in fact she isn't even close she's not even in the top five. She has never carried the franchise and this is a flashback movie after her character died. The possibility of future movies was basically zero and she had little leverage going forward. I say that as someone who thinks she did an amazing job as Black widow and is one of my favorite characters. I absolutely think she should be entitled to additional compensation but anyone who scoffs at say 50 million is insane -

Considering the accusation was fake and this entire controversy is a load of dog crap I can understand why you would feel that way. I want there to be films in China and I want there to be a relationship between the two nations but right now there's just absolutely no trust and there's just a bunch of BS rumors that both sides perpetuate. I don't foresee the situation getting better for years. -

China's population will plummet just like Japan. America has no reason to cower in fear. They got like what 25% of the cut? All about net $$ -

I hope they keep him. Frick pandering to a bitter delusions irrational government. Personally I hope the US joins the TPP or threatens to. China is acting like Russia did before Ukraine. Nip this shit in the bud. No one wants a war or being on the edge of one for decades. War will ruin both -

China has been cracking down on everything. I mean Jesus look at the tech world. There is no appeasing at this point you just have to see where it goes. -
Cats was probably one of the worst productions ever created and then the movie was even worse. The movie actually lost money and it deserved to lose more. Rent the production was infinitely better than the movie which had good spots and plenty of bad ones. I think Dear Evan Hansen will do good. I'm surprised you think it's so small the film itself had a hundred million dollar budget. Also for the record cats in the US did 453 million on 7,485 shows. Dear Evan Hansen did 226 million on 1256 shows so comparing them is ridiculous. Cats of course would have done way more 30 years later too so it's hard to debate either way.

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
cdsacken replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
Personally I think it matters because of the delta variant. At least a 20% hit for most films. Real curious to see how the next spiderman film does. Case counts likely aren't going to be down that much in December with nearly 40% of republicans being antivax. Even saying that makes my brain want to explode.
