I subconsciously docked it a lot the first time for not doing anything to advance any larger MCU cosmic plots points, but with some more distance and removed from those expectations it moves along reasonably well and has some hard hitting emotional moments.
Pretty much my exact thoughts just said much more eloquently. I just really liked the first soo much. My wife doesn't really like superhero type films and that was her favorite.

For Disney live-action, US flop = China flop.
Will Dumbo be a flop? I hope not.

They were referring to the 3rd weekday, just a typo.
Ah that makes more sense. Individual weekends aside, it will be way ahead of GOTG 2 after it's 3rd weekend and honestly I expect decent drops for weekends 4 through 8.

With china, this seems very possible.
800 WW might have been possible without End Game. Globally that will crush it. I hope this movie does awesome. It's small budget makes 500+ a massive success. Personally I'm hoping for 623+

It's okay. I didn't like it much either and I certainly didn't love Us. But, more than happy to see the box office blowing up.
Nothing they can't fix in Endgame and the sequel for Cap Marv. Ton riding on it. Played it pretty safe.
That's fair. They did play it safe. However what I find interesting is the people who didn't like it often somehow liked infinitely worse comic book films. I like almost all of them, love basically none of them.

Shazam is pretty freaking great, definitely my #2 of the year behind Dragon. Audience ate it up too, lots of cheering, laughs, gasps etc. Great movie to see with a crowd, I was more than pleased.
Also definitely think it's going to beat tracking. Theatre was PACKED tonight, there's definitely interest. I can see this opening near Us numbers
Of course it's going to beat tracking of 50 million just like US beat tracking of 40 million. Tracking for both have been so bad.

35-36 is a decent number for CM. GOTG2's 2nd weekend drop was 46.7% against weaker competition, so this would be as good or a hair worse.
2nd weekend vs 3rd weekend are not equal comparisons.

Watched GOTG 2 for the second time. Good lord it was so much better the 2nd time around. I think I compared it to the first one too much but man the ending was so damn good.

You guys do talk about her a lot.
I literally don't even know who she is. However less screenings before release if demand is present is so dumb.
-
What the hell is she talking about? Aquaman had a ton of early screenings that helped to generate interest. It's one of the reasons for a great opening weekend and excellent legs. If there is demand, fill it. Shazam has had very limited marketing in comparison to Aquaman. Im all for it and hope it pushes OW to 70+.

Damn.... Jordan's return on investment is ridiculous. Great first 1st day for "Us". If it has anywhere near "Get Out's" Legs watch out.
I bet it has great legs but nowhere near that. Over 3.0 but nowhere near 5.27. Maybe 70/230?
-
Update those rankings for WW.
-
Indeed. If it goes for 35 or close that this week with US breaking out I think that is a success imo.

Rotten Tomatoes user scores(or any site that has a user based scores) are useless. I still don’t know why some people still take it seriously.
Can't imagine any reason people would troll this movie like CM. I mean 70% is pretty damn good. Get out was 86%.
-
Audience score is 70% way below get out. Curious to see where it lands.
-
Does Frozen 2 coming much sooner than Incredibles 2 help or hurt at all? Meaning only a few years after the first one, not 14 years kater. I can't wait to see it personally. My 4 year old will be so excited. That was her 2nd movie she loved (first was Brave).

34.0 (-50%) weekend for 320.4 cume will leave CM 92.2 away from Wonder Woman
GOTG2 had a 34.65 3rd weekend and added 88.4 more.
So far both the movies have shown same legs with CM doing a bit better. GOTG2's multiplier by the 3rd weekend will be 2.06x (301.4/146.5) compared to CM's 2.09x (320.4/153.4). Even though GOTG2 is looking to beat CM's 3rd weekend, CM had spring break boosting the weekdays.
Not so sure it will follow GOTG for weeks 5-8. Obviously a lot different with End Game coming on week 8.

I don't think casting Chinese actor or american-chinese is the best for the film. Chinese audience are very sensitive about Chinese roles in Hollywood films. If those roles do not live up to what Chinese expect(even if their description is accurate), this film and the Marvel Studios can get those labels like "discriminatory" or "anti-China".
Yikes I never even thought of that. Is it better to play it safe with someone like Yeun then?

Elsa Roc is completely on the money y’all. I love CM and am really pulling for 413+, but there’s medium sized competition ahead and any trailer/Endgame bump/double feature push will be a couple M at most.
Given a reasonable 3rd weekend multi it need at least 34 this weekend for 400 to be looking good. Which could totally happen — with an early 9 from Rth it’s pretty easy to imagine the weekend coming in at 9.2*3.9=36. Or it could be 8.7*3.7=32. If that happens I recommend you start aiming for GotG2’s total rather than THG, which had crazy late legs.
If it ends up at 33.5 million versus 35/36 for this week that doesn't correlate to much with a massive breakout for US going 25 million over tracking. A couple weeks before End Game this film absolutely may have much stronger legs for weeks 6/7/8 .
Curious to see how US does with next week and especially the week after with Pet Sematary coming out. Man that has great reviews coming in too, the book gave me literal nightmares as a kid.

the ending was the best part of the movie
good stuff will check it out

lol. Projections this early on Friday for entire weekends and people go nuts.
Looks like US is a hit despite the meh ending. I will probably see it and expect worse than Get Out to not be disappointed. CM may hit 400m, may not still gonna go near 1.1 billion with zero prior introduction. That's fucking incredible.

Real curious to see how accurate 66 million is. Their initial Thursday estimate was massively off. Did they overcorrect, underestimate again, or thread the needle perfectly.

Possible but unlikely.
1. Shazam don't have Christmas/New Year.
2. Aquaman didn't had Endgame in Week 4.
3. Even if it match Aquaman every where else, China going to be around half.
So maybe 900+ WW if it does great?

Yeah Deadline gets it wrong few times but most of the time they are in neighbourhood and that's even more impressive because Friday estimates are easy, Thursday there isn't anyone else other than them.
Based on Thursday preview what are your expectations for US for OW?

People often cling to things that are far from reality. Massive superman fan and that film was such a disappointment. Directors cut any better?
