Nah. Black Widow - August 7th Eternals - November 6th Shang-Chi - February 12th Strange 2 - May 7th Spider-Man 3 - July 16th Thor: Love and Thunder - November 5th

We’ll see about that

We’ll see. There’s nothing specific coming out in IMAX on August so I think you’re wrong and that it’ll move there.

They could always move production to Atlanta once Loki is over. Plus, apparently they still have plans to shoot in the UK with the UK being the only location allowed to fly to and back from America.

Nah. August for Black Widow since it’ll help lead in to The Falcon and The Winter Soldier on Disney Plus.

It’s too late for that. I would hope the movie isn’t ostracized for an apocalyptic setting but more of a message that we have to fight to save people and protect those in our family who need help and need saving.

Maybe because they don’t believe reality will stay as-is.

I actually think Eternals should stay in November while Black Widow moves to August.

Uh what? No one asked for it? Dude, people have been wanting a Black Widow Movie more than a Han Solo movie and they wanted it for 10 years, more than Captain Marvel, which people say Black Widow looks better than. So, watch what you say before you say what is wrong.

It’s still a hit though with just a $95M budget and a sequel is likely.

This. 👆

So, @Shawn, how much are we both expecting Black Widow to do domestically (opening weekend and overall) and around the world? I mean I know some people think a billion is now up in the air without China, but, I think Black Widow can make a billion with or without China, because the MCU is far popular in other places around the world like Brazil, the UK South Korea and India. I’m thinking it’ll open to $180M domestic and end with $450M domestic and $550M WW (without China) for a final cume of exactly a billion dollars. Why? Well, I have my reasons below: Here are my reasons for why I believe Black Widow will make a billion and not Wonder Woman 1984: More views for Black Widow’s first trailer on YouTube than Wonder Woman 1984’s first trailer (40 million compared to WW84’s 26M viewers trailer) and the only trailer for a 2020 movie to go over 40 million views, the threshold usually needed to be crossed in order for a billion dollar film to be likely. Plus, has more likes on YouTube with 1.5 million compared to WW84’s 583 thousand likes. BW has had more marketing in it’s first three months (a first trailer in December, a special look and featurette during the ESPN NFC game in January, and a Big Game Super Bowl spot this current February) than WW84 (a first trailer in December and a Super Bowl spot that turned into a Tide ad). Plus, the Black Widow trailer has 207 thousand retweets compared to WW84’s 107 thousand retweets on Twitter. So, clearly that shows which of the two female led Marvel movies has more hype. BW is being eventized and promoted as the start of the next post-Avengers phase of the MCU (like Iron Man 3 and Captain America: Civil War were which both made a billion worldwide) and the next era of the MCU post-Endgame. It’ll attract Netflix fans with David Harbour, which got fans talking with Red Guardian and the Stranger Things Season 4 trailer with Hopper in Russia, and Disney+ fans with a special look at the movie on their service with some upcoming Disney+ release of theirs. It’ll get an entirely global start (not counting China, if the CoronaVirus Crisis doesn’t get solved in time) over the first weekend of May, meaning they are trying hard to keep spoilers in bound until everyone around the world sees it, which will likely play into it opening huge, meaning it could play like Iron Man 3 or Black Panther making a billion without China before they opened in China. The first Wonder Woman didn’t hit a billion with China and got banned in Lebanon because of Gal being Israeli, something that is likely to be repeated with Wonder Woman 1984. Less competion for Black Widow (Scoob, The Woman in The Window) until Memorial Day Weekend with F9: The Fast Saga compared to the competion WW84 has to face a week later (Candyman, Disney and Pixar’s Soul, In The Heights and Top Gun: Maverick). And, with BW being a female-led film that could help it have a smaller drop over Mother’s Day Weekend, compared to Iron Man 3 and Cap 3. It’s gonna get two more straight months of marketing with a final trailer, final poster, ticket presales following the trailer and a likely early premiere at CinemaCon at the end of March, before it’s world premiere sometime in April. So, you bet Disney’s gonna market the crap out of it to build more hype for people to see it, especially they really emphasize in the final trailer that this is the final story for Black Widow and Scarlett Johansson in the MCU period. Compare that to how WB hasn’t marketed WW84 enough, which is a problem that has caused all of their movies, not named Joker, to either flop, bomb, underperform or break even, including Birds of Prey, which is probably because of AT&T’s downsizing of the marketing department and/or the executive shuffling by way of replacing Kevin Tsujihara with Ann Sarnoff. Scarlett Johansson apparently being a big overseas name that sells at the box office. Marvel is the only dominant franchise on the planet still going that has committed fans, even a Reddit user group that consists of over a million followers. That is all.

Meanwhile, The Rise of Skywalker is a million to two million away from topping Joker. Looks like it can achieve with the steam it has left.

So, Sonic winning the weekend again?

So, @charlie Jatinder, who are you thinking is gonna be #1 this weekend? Sonic again? Or Call of the Wild?

I’d hope for 50%

Black Widow is supposed to be the finale to her character arc and has loads of action and is China’s most hyped movie of 2020, per Douban. Never doubt Marvel or think that China will see their movies as filler.

I’m surprised you think Eternals can hit $400M.

I guess that’s good news for Black Widow in it’s chances to hit a billion.

We’ll see if that changes this year and I think in the final trailer they will make sure it is capatalized as Black Widow’s first, final and only story in the MCU so it does get a billion worldwide.

I don’t believe that in the case of Black Widow and I still believe, since it’s being eventized as the start of Phase 4 of the MCU and the next era of the MCU and is getting more marketing than WW84, that is why I think a billion for BW will happen without China.

What movie’s the $16.8M for?

I don’t think Black Widow will. Wonder Woman, though, that one will definitely lose the billion dollar mark without China.

Sonic made $300K more than Detective Pikachu. How exciting!

I actually go with $10M so Sonic will make $66M over the 4-day weekend.
