So does Showtime.

Well no, maybe the contract say they cannot use that actor in any other movie, that do not tell us if the distribution agreement do not say they have final word and final cut on that movie (or at least I really do not understand the argument). Feige is a guy, not Marvel or Disney. Certainly if Sony has the chance to employ Feige to oversea a movie production, they will.

That tend to goes for everything send out and giving for free on a large scale somewhere, it often destroy the local enterprises that were making said competitive product. Could be better (shipping wise, local work force, etc..) to empower local farmer, many could easily more than double their production with little change than send free food, with for example; https://oneacrefund.org/, https://oneacrefund.org/impact/, https://oneacrefund.org/impact/impact-in-detail/:

Matrix 2 to Matrix 3 two parter drop too, that would be a 162M box office. That a misleading one to use, considering Matrix 2 BO was all on the back of the first

Well the writers and half the producers are from Sony/Pascal production. Maybe, but they sold the movie adaptation right to sony, they already sold them (obviously not give) the power in dictating the direction of their crown jewel. At least in press release around that deal they were insisting that Sony kept final cut and full creative control, they could have been lying. That sound a bit like a semantic distinction, specially since Disney took complete creative control of Marvel studio and moved their office directly on their lot (https://www.slashfilm.com/marvel-studios-offices-tour/).

There is over 500m small family farm around the world (80% of the foods is made by very small family type farm), depending how it is done and how fast that could be quite the giant amount of people (A billion ?) needing to find a new job at the same time.

I am not sure how to count a studio % in a movie, but on the creative/production side, seem to be split yes https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6320628/companycredits Production Companies Pascal Pictures Marvel Studios Columbia Pictures (presents) Stereo D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man:_Far_From_Home Production companies Columbia Pictures Marvel Studios Pascal Pictures Produced by Victoria Alonso ... executive producer Avi Arad ... executive producer Chris Buongiorno ... associate producer Eric Hauserman Carroll ... executive producer Louis D'Esposito ... executive producer Kevin Feige ... producer Thomas M. Hammel ... executive producer Stan Lee ... executive producer David Minkowski ... co-producer (Czech Republic) Amy Pascal ... producer Matthew Stillman ... co-producer (Czech Republic) Matt Tolmach ... executive producer

When was that, that sound like quite the exaggeration ? (And all those place are not close to be as rich as the United States not necessarily example to follow), What was people against when they were against the TPP if the US had no tariff ? If it was only reducing american export tariff and not removing any tariff on entry because they didn't exist, why did Trump walked of it ? In the year 2015, before Trump China was paying an average 3% Tariff, about the same average US good were taxed to get into the EU. If there were no tarrif for the list of country you mentioned, the special status of NAFTA would make no sense, no ?

If you think these production if they come back that they will be made by humans with well paid union jobs, I think that is a very fetch stretched dream a lot of those imports are not particularly cheap (look at the IPhone/IPad price tag). Detroit for example was well known to make cars, USA had an positive trade balance cars wise with China. Look at graphic of trade deficit: Trade deficit grew a lot in the 90s, so did Americans household income, when their income lowered trade deficit did too, it is far from being obvious that it is a value that matter in itself and not a reflection of how wealthy American are more than something else. https://hbr.org/2018/07/why-the-u-s-trade-deficit-can-be-a-sign-of-a-healthy-economy Do a little thought experiment: Imagine that your country is the world’s most attractive country in which to invest capital, because it has the biggest and richest market in the world, and the world’s most used and tradable currency, and it is scrupulous about protecting the rights of investors. Imagine further that its advanced economy is leading the world in the transition to a service-based economy, and as a result, it runs the world’s biggest services trade surplus — by a factor of more than two over the next biggest surplus in the world. Per standard macroeconomic theory, this imaginary country would run the world’s biggest deficit in traded goods. And it would have absolutely nothing to do with its being uncompetitive or its people profligate. It can’t be the best place to invest and the best service exporter without running a huge goods trade deficit. (Because, remember, all three things have to sum to zero. https://www.cato.org/publications/congressional-testimony/americas-misunderstood-trade-deficit 2018 was the biggest trade deficit of all time in the USA (with a big 12.4% jump for non petroleum products), because the economy was doing well. Wanting to force it to $0 sound crazy and why Trump is not really doing it, (he is increased it with stuff like is tax cut for good reasons), same go for is eliminating debt talk (that was crazy talk and he is far from doing it, he is doing the reverse and again for good reason)

Yes and what is your point ? Do you agree that if Avatar would have beat the 1993 Jurassic Park or Titanic by 75 millions it would not have made Avatar run more impressive than those 2 movie run ?

Looking at the last 6 weeks that true that a +85% is not something we tend to see july/early august it seem like. Equalizer 2 did a +66%, +44%, -25.4%, Skyscraper +67, +45, -26, MI 6 did +75 +49 -27 Equalizer 2 multi: 20.13 Skyscraper: 20.44 MI-6: 21.75

Must be easily in the top 1% safest movie of the year imo.

Johnson release tend to have an high Box office / pre-sales multiplier and back loaded (strong appeal toward the moms), will see for this, but it could get easily a high 9.x.

Why balance trade ? And why tax until Chinese consumer get as rich as American one ? Sound like some old 18th century mercantilism worries, the smallest the trade deficit was for the United State in a very long time was 2009... for a reason.

Bastard had a 19,303,653 second weekend with a -12% 3,152,719 Thursday, making it sound even 20M could be possible

Was number on in Canada (outside maybe some December release) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_2010_box_office_number-one_films_in_Canada Highest-grossing films in Canada[edit] Highest-grossing films of 2010 As of December 27, 2010 Rank Title Studio Total Gross (in millions) Notes 1 Alice in Wonderland Disney $36.71 [2] 2 Inception Warner Bros. $33.44 [3] 3 Toy Story 3 Disney/Pixar $33.13 [4] 4 Iron Man 2 Paramount $27.97 [5] 5 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 Warner Bros. $27.22 [1] 6 The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Summit $26.73 [6] 7 Shrek Forever After Paramount/DreamWorks $23.41 [7] 8 Despicable Me Universal $21.89 [8] 9 How To Train Your Dragon Paramount/DreamWorks $20.58 [9] 10 Clash of the Titans Warner Bros. $15.99 [10]

The multiple mention of gun's were a big tell.

To be fair too, most only during stay in there igloo during the time the suns never rise in Canada, 5th season called Canadadark. Seriously I think there is many people from Europe that think that we live below the surface has a way to survive winter (in part because of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_City,_Montreal).

Poutine restaurant and Tim Hortons must do !

There is pretty much no US dollar used here. But it is a constant subject of conversation, because pro Hockey player are paid in USD.

But that exactly is point, that usually newer the release the advantage you have over older release. If Avatar would have beating the record of a 10 year<s older movie by just 100m for example it would not have been impressive, well I think most would argue Titanic was the bigger success despite being 1 billion smaller.

? Source Deadline estimated 160M marging, with 55M going to the talent and 105M in profit to the studio: https://deadline.com/2017/03/batman-v-superman-box-office-profit-2016-1202049201/ But they used a small/regular 407M budget + WW P&A estimate.

This imo, there is some form of how many standard deviation / how it is going vs direct recent comparable. What make EndGame surprising (despite that frankly it is hard for the MCU to surprise anymore), is how bigger than just the year before quite similar Avengers movie just made, how it almost pushed the definition of possible for an OW (probably did for some that would have said the maximum was an lower number than what it actually did). Aladdin is the remake of one of the favorite movie of all time, staring Will Smith, the somewhat comparable Beauty and the beast made 1.26B, I feel most expected similar or even higher for Aladdin when all those remake got announced.

Isn't bad ER been going on since 2015 in a pretty constant way ? It did above movies like Guardian of the galaxy 1-2, Inside Out, Thor: Ragnarok, Wonder Woman, Fantastic Beast, Mission Impossible Fallout, Deadpool 1-2. It is quite bad for it's hype it achieved and how big it was the first days (showing how available that billion mark should have been) but I doubt outside very ridiculous first dollar gross deal that it barely broke even.

Rogue One has a very powerful legacy but not Suicide Squad, I am not sure how to evaluate that ? https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?year=2008&title_type=feature& https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?year=2016&title_type=feature& https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=%2Fg%2F11b7ck8r7s,%2Fm%2F0btpm6,%2Fm%2F012dwdjr But considering Suicide Squad is getting a sequel and spin-off while Rogue One is pretty much one and done (or was there some tv project about it on Disney+ ?) it is based on what ?
