Cooper Legion

July 17->31 was 14 days, this delay is just 12. Logically the next release dates are: Aug 22 Aug 30 Sep 5 Sep 9 Sep 11 (final date) What a weird coincidence 👀

Yeah, I deliberately avoided nominal highest-grossing since it’s a 20 year period. TDK obviously is the most successful peaking at #4 WW. I think TDKR making 7th and Joker blowing the R record away by such a margin round out the top 3. Aquaman would be next though.

I forgot about spiderverse sequel here. 2022 is the multiverse extravaganza.

We really gonna get two CBM multiverse movies in 2022? Guess last decade we were just warming up.

I think that would be a smart strategy, but they were honestly hoping/expecting to be able to go on July 17 when they stayed there and were honestly hoping/expecting to be able to go on July 31 when they dated that.

Didn’t everybody write their Mulan reviews like 3 months ago anyway?

If you’re going back to 93 for JP, could be interesting to see how complete the data is for TLK animated.

King of the World indeed.

This project’s resurrection is one of the best things to come out of the global BO shutdown situation.

Should skip fast, seeing Furious7 over Avengers will be too depressing

Wonder what the Venn diagram is between NBA players and r/marvelstudiosspoilers users 🤔

I was more optimistic a week or two ago, but the case trajectory in LA county isn’t pointing the right direction for earlier releases.

See you guys in January for next CNY PS

This is the way.

FFH on Fri would have been about 120 FSS I think (~18 preview). So SM3 no shot imo, maybe SM4 if they do that. But I would feel weird counting a Disney co-production anyway.

Projected order of non-Disney single territory 200M FSS: China local China HW (F&F) China local China local US HW (Batman 2)

Eh, I wouldn’t totally exclude Endgame just ‘cause it’s too huge. Using the full 357M is gonna skew stuff a bit, but otoh it’s now crystal clear what I suspected at the time — IW’s record was rather slack. For trying to do historical comparisons with % of OW record, I might average them for ~307.

Me neither really, almost put 2022-2024. If I had to pick a single film for it I guess I’d go for Batman sequel. I agree that concrete announced possibilities are a bit murky, but there’s also a background rate of unexpected breakout OWs to consider. At least as long as covid/streaming doesn’t leave a persistent scar.

Gotta be China, right? US will take until like 2022/2023, some China local with a Fri release should get it before then even with growth slowed.

Wow, forreal? That’s even dumber Ah, cool. It can be hard to tell online. Completely agree.

To follow up, for those reading this thread who are out of the loop: Taika tweeted this What morons who are trigger happy to get offended are trying to make out that he meant — “The police seem to be enjoying this. [Black people] are inciting the chaos, dudes! #BLM” What he actually meant — “The police seem to be enjoying this. [The police] are inciting the chaos, dudes! #BLM” This is easily cleared up, but even if it wasn’t it wouldn’t affect the directorial choice, production schedule, or BO performance of L&T.

Looooooool, when I read this I thought he might have done something actually bad. Instead it’s a failure to properly dereference a pronoun on the part of some stupid activists. He’s 100% uncancelled, nothing more will come of this than him correcting the misreading when he wakes up.

Mods be praised.

The great wheel of shuffling keeps on rolling. I give this a decent chance of being he final date — say, 50%ish.
