    Wellll, I wouldn't say the Cowboys choked in that game, just that the Niners made fewer mistakes.  Do agree that the Cowboys could have won, but their offense wasn't as sharp because the Niners defense is just that good.  They play a punishing style of defense that forces teams into making mistakes.  Hell, the Niners could have had a pick six to seal the game at the end*, that's how much suffocating pressure they put on Dak all game.

    * Then again, the ol' adage of "if the player had good hands, they'd be a wide receiver" comes into play.

     

    As it is, should be a really good NFC title game, with whichever team making the fewest mistakes/capitalizing on opponents mistakes more, winning.  Eagles prob be favored by 3 to 4 or so, but can easily see either team winning it.


    Dak played pretty bad

    Yep me, you, Sheldon, a few others, we all said for a long time that its a legs film, and not amazing first and second weekend film.

     

    I cantr believe there are still people on here that think 600mil is in doubt. I mean its going to bearound or over 500mil by the end of next weekend, and next weekend should be in the 40mil range.

     

    'Sky people can not see'.


    next weekend may not be in the 40m range and the week after will drop harder. 600+ seems likely

    It's not about gore. It's about tone. 

     

    Opm is a seinen anime geared toward young adults and no one dies in that show. It's very tame graphic wise. AOT is aimed at teens and people die there all the time.

     

    Of course it's not 1 to 1 but its the point I'm making.


    nah if that’s the case it does way worse. It’s hitting great with families. My 8 year old loved it. Other than one part and I won’t expand on that.

  4. Just got out. Not as good as the first but that’s expected as it’s clearly part 1 of a 2 part movie. Reminds me of the feel after Deathly Hollows part 1. 
     

    Won’t see again in theaters. Dolby was beautiful but some of the effects felt too smooth too forced. Detail was incredible and much of the weather scenes were excellent. Anxious to see #3. Really hoping 4 and 5 have nothing to do with earth.

    TWOW will end up so incredibly successful I see no way (barring aforementioned external events) Disney waits that long, they'll want Cameron back filming 4 asap, and probably 5 simultaneously to save money just as with 2 & 3. Just a question imo of whether Cameron wants to make that commitment at his age. 


    likely true and I hope so. I don’t think it hits 2B closer to 1.7B but we shall see. Going on Tuesday with the fam to see it

    Fantastic WOM, easy profit - barring external events like wars and pandemics, the only way we don't get Avatar 4 & 5 now is if JC reverses course (& all indications are he's very excited to do them). TWOW's mission is accomplished. Everything beyond that is just more cherries on top. Naysayers will try to hold on desperately to the "$2 billion to break even" lie, but if that's their standard they've already lost. 6+ more years of heavy heavy Avatar news for them (of course they could just stop caring like they've insisted for 13 years that everyone else has - but has zero impact on us or Avatar either way).


    2 billion to break even is ridiculous. At 1.5B it makes money. At 2B it makes quite a good chunk. Long as 3 does well it’s very likely we get all 4 more.

    All depends on exchange rates and China. Even if ticket sales drop 10% from A2 to A3 in all markets (minus China for obvious reasons), a flip in the ER can still turn that into a 10-20% gain.

     

    If Jim can tighten A3 up into the 160-170 minute range that would be a plus. 

     


    Oh yeah if the next movie expands on this one and is even better with better exchange rates and china even lives up to 80% it could easily do more. I want 3 to do 2.5B make it impossible not to do #4 and #5

    This is AoU and TLK all over again.  


    Damn that is accurate. Feels exactly like TLK and I remember how negative that was even though it did 1.65B. I was honestly more disappointed in the movie cared less about the box office. Versus Aladdin beat expectations and did way less . I did love Aladdin though.

     

    TLK imo looked amazing but I liked the original way more. Solid film and daughter enjoyed it kinda.

    It’s not guaranteed that it won’t top NWH, but that was one of the biggest superhero films of all time for good reason. There is no shame in that.


    in general that’s true. But for 10 years folks on this board talked about 3 billies WW and 1 billion dom. Expectations were way way too high. Especially china.

    It's not going to die hard at all. There's 6 weeks before another 15M opener shows up. It's going to add another $500M in January alone. 


    I don’t see 500 happening in January. China will be zero, a lot of markets will be dying down. Premium screens will be gone.

     

    I’m going with 1.55B as my guess maybe 1.6

    I've got it at $1.28B WW through January 2nd. No matter how one feels about its run, It's going to be the biggest film released in 2022.


    I mean sure but it’s going to die hard after. It’s good in general but a massive step backwards and losing to NWH is rough
