  1. I'm thrilled to see it. Definitely going opening weekend in the UK. I even jumped in on the prediction above 275 million (276 😉) but that's my optimistic prediction of 276/800+. I could easily see something more like 225/600+ too which is not bad at all for the small budget. Mediocre is Alita box office wise and there has been much worse like John Carter or who could forget the dumpster fire of Stealth? One thing I will help a lot is Zach Levi. I want a Chuck movie!
  2. Spring break in the States start on Friday right?
  3. Thursday projection like 8.3 million? Gotg 2 dropped 5% after 7.5 million first Wednesday then had a 65 million 2nd weekend. If it follows the same drop it would do 68.3 give or take. Granted that was in early May and 2017.
  4. Agreed. I can't wait to see it but absolutely no one is talking about in England. I really hope it does well (Comic wars are bullcrap I loved Aquaman and really liked Captain Marvel). Curious to see how it does globally. What America likes the most doesn't always translate well globally. Realist in me says it does way below Wonder Woman but hope I'm wrong.
  5. I mean come on. That's just dumb. I liked Captain Marvel but Aquaman was better, Black Panther was so much better. For me easily #1 of all marvel films. Rewatchability of that film is so high. Yet Venom is near dead last of all comicbook adaptions I have seen (50+) and it did awesome. What makes sense in America doesn't necessarily make sense in China.
  6. If I had to guess absolutely never. Subscription model will expand considerably. Crazy people spend $50 to finance an iPhone XS, $25 for unlimited movies is so cheap in comparison.
  7. It's worked in England for years (I live in Cambridge and had a pass back in 2013). Movie pass was the dumbest model ever. I had it at $30 a month because it was awesome and I knew it would die or end up worthless. AMC controls so much and their margins are crazy high on food. People with passes spend a lot more than casual users and have bring full paying friends. AMC also knows the can slowly raise prices and keep almost everyone. Even with 700k users they are making money as we speak.
  8. Unless one thought it was going to tank big time. You nailed that prediction. Thoughts on 2nd weekend numbers. Maybe bit less than 65 million say 64/63?
  9. I'd love to see 900 million WW beating Wonder woman but that seems ridiculous. Then again China somehow like a horrible movie in Venom, maybe they will like this one.
  10. In China seems more likely than Shazam WW over CM. I wonder what Shazam will do in China? I literally have no idea or expectation at all. Hopefully good.
  11. I would be absolutely shocked if it even sniffed 900 million. I'd guess 750 million worldwide and that's probably super generous but I'm optimistic. Looks awesome.
  12. It's not like they have any better taste. Venom was pure trash. Kinda funny to watch one but trash indeed. Every market has it's quirks, China as well. Can't wait to see Wandering Earth though.
  13. I imagine it will do very good but I don't love horror films, even critically acclaimed ones. My wife loathes them and not a chance I would ever let my kid see it. Potential is limited for several reasons but I bet it's great for that genre. Get out was so creepy for me but good nonetheless. I imagine US would be the same.
  14. Superman often risks nothing until he faces something so great he dies in the process. She has incredible power and with that comes incredible responsibility which I believe will be put to good use in End Game.
  15. Exactly my question. People say Larson was wooden but Hemsworth got hammered by many for Thor 1 which all loved him in Thor 3. I'm all for different directors but the movie was good. Too often it seems internal biases skew peoples opinions. I went into Aquaman with so many saying it was mediocre but fun, yet I loved it. I went into this film with super negative and super positive films and fell into the middle camp, I enjoyed it but thought it could have been better.
  16. Sure except horrendous films like Venom did great there. Venom is easily one of the worst comic book type films I have ever seen and I love Tom Hardy. Saw it once and not a chance I would ever see it again. I have no more respect for it anymore than European or American markets. People have different tastes, for me Ant Man and the Wasp was incredibly boring and mediocre. I don't put Captain Marvel anywhere near the Hulk and that but it's nowhere near the top either. IMO of course.
  17. Interesting. I liked Ant Man. Sequel I put in the range of the Hulk. I enjoyed Suicide Squad more....so yeah. I tried to rewatch but couldn't finish it.
  18. Really? Hulk is way worse. Ant Man and the Wasp I felt was boring and generic with basically little purpose. Only marvel film I didn't see in theaters and thank god I didn't. I also felt Brie was fantastic. Better directors and better script would have really pushed this movie into another level.
  19. Of course I was adding those simply because they were marvel films which recently came out. I hope it does well the next 2 weeks. I'd love to see 400+/1.15B+.
  20. Probably normal just such a drastic change from Saturday. Black panther barely even dropped. Infinity war dropped 15.7%, Antman and the Wasp dropped 21.3% with a much weaker opening. Thor 3: 27.4% Spiderman HC: 21.2% again a lot smaller open Gotg3: 23.7% with a smaller opening If it was 40.0 it wouldn't look that big despite that really being a relatively insignificant difference.
  21. I'd rather have had a much stronger villain for sure. That said, it's her origin story. The real badass villain is in end game. Even with everything they have with her and the rest of the group, many will die in the next film.
  22. Agreed many people who love Superman hate Captain Marvel which makes zero sense to me. I like both, as well as Batman and Aquaman/Spiderman. I could care less if a Superhero is alien, a different race, or what gender. Also stoked to see Shazam, Zach Levi will crush it.
