JC is waiting until inflation is sufficient enough to challenge the original
Nah but seriously the level of commitment Cameron has shown to these next 4 films is very admirable. Would love to watch a day in that writers room having everyone plan out the story for all the sequels.
I'd be surprised if WW84 doesn't open to $150M+. But maybe it'll open a bit lower but still have better than expected legs to carry it pass the first one's DOM total. And yeah no Snyder wasn't the reason BvS opened to $166M. The marketing campaign would have had to be complete trash for the first outing of Batman and Superman on film to open below $150M.
So giving it Infinity War increases/deceases for the 2nd Weekend
Fri: $43.63M (+102.9%)
Sat: $64.75M (+48.4%)
Sun: $50.83M (-21.5%)
= $159.22M (-55.4%)
Almost exactly the same drop as Infinity War
Probably the first "disappointing" drop for Endgame so far in its run. But still $150M+ for 2nd Weekend is easily doable just needs to play close to Infinity War's 2nd Weekend drops
I'm wondering with how Venom, Aquaman and now Endgame (soz Shazam) have done whether we can make the case the superhero genre has gotten more popular in China. I'm so curious how Far From Home does considering Homecoming's meh to bad reception in China.
It's cause some people thought Civil War showed signs of a ceiling for the team ups. Clearly Infinity War and Endgame have proven Civil War was a big anomaly.
Yeah one part of me wants to see Avatar 2 underperform badly just to see the meltdowns on this forum but at the same time I really want it to do amazing partly cause rooting for movies in general is good and also getting really tired of people underestimating it on reddit and Youtube. I hope it's amazing since Cameron spent a decade on it.
