I know Endgame had its fair share of leaks but thank goodness it wasn't to this extent. Or maybe I cared more about avoiding spoilers back then compared to this movie.

If any studio has any bad news they are reluctant to release now is the time to do it.

Actually was refreshing he didn't change his mind and join at the last sec to save the day.

It's been a pain to avoid spoilers for No Time To Die.

This is the teaser poster so I think they'll have another one assuming they reveal more in the next trailer

The poor souls who actually paid IMAX tickets to watch the first two episodes

The portrayal of the Celestials made me confident in an eventual Galactus interpretation. Goodbye cloud figures!!

We literally had Shang-Chi open in worse conditions with lower trailer/tv spot views and lower presales but will still end up outdoing Eternals DOM. There's no real excuse for Eternals to have a lower OW than Shang-Chi besides the reviews.

As long as they handle the Raimi characters well I can see critics going gaga over this film.

It was tracking to be in line with Black Widow's Previews but the expectation was the Weekend Multiplier was going to be better since Eternals didn't have PA affecting it. But yes poor reviews clearly affected the OW which in a way is good as it means Marvel knows they still need to make a good movie (in most critics opinion even though I actually liked Eternals quite a bit). It especially matters more when you're introducing unknown heroes. Still will probably cross $400M WW which is a decent result but the DOM performance at least is going to be a bit disappointing unless it bucks the CinemaScore and has good legs.

Ranking Time

Yeah NWH is the first film in a long time that would have been locked to hit $1 Billion in pre-COVID times. So maybe we might see if that does bonkers that audiences are just becoming more picker and safer with their choices as opposed to avoiding the cinema altogether.

Feige would rather rework than discard so even if this ends up having awful legs we will see a continuation of the story. I'll also like Chloe Zhao to come back as well. Hopefully the script is a bit tighter next time.

On one hand genuinely happy that I quite enjoyed but also a bit frustrated that this could have been great. Everything was good for me but because there's so much packed in there isn't enough time devoted to each character or relationship to really have that emotional impact. Still definitely a solid entry in the MCU and one of the better offerings of Phase 4 so far.

Yikes that's bad but yeah it's been weird since looking online the reception hasn't been that bad but doesn't bode well.

Solid list had no idea you ranked Ant-Man and The Wasp so high

In 5 years time I'll have this exact same reaction for an MCU movie and say ''Initial Reaction Top 20 MCU" (including Disney+ shows in rankings)

Still going through Star Trek: TOS which is still amazing. Also rewatching the Marvel Netflix shows since I never finished Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Jessica Jones. Daredevil S1 and Jessica Jones S1 are as good as I remember but man I don't remember Daredevil S2 being as big of a slog as I currently find it.

Even Venom 2 got a CinemaScore of B+. Doubt Eternals gets worse than that unless it is universally rejected.

No it's because the % studios get from China's BO is much less than in other territories.

The underworld aspects of Star Wars has always been fascinating though so if Boba Fett is a vehicle for more or that then I will be happy.

Is he Ralph Bohner's brother?

Yeah solid teaser to remind people the show exists but that's about it.

Yeah looking back at 2019 how I was going to cinemas nearly every week I can't imagine myself doing that now even if there was no pandemic. Maybe I've just gotten lazier but the pandemic certainly will have imbedded that mindset into a decent amount of people.
