Too bad we let our emotions run away with us like that and gave unsober analysis

Had us in the first two-thirds not gonna lie

Dude the more you spam this comment the more ridiculous you’re gonna look when it breezes past 2.6… Think about how films are actually performing! Don’t just mindlessly go “muh avg history!”

Low A

I think this run will actually be just like a hyped Marvel sequel. I mean, it is a hyped Marvel sequel. But definitely higher uncertainty, perhaps not.

Notably those other 3 movies were breaking the OW record and had their suns propped up by demand spillover rather than wom per se (though all had great wom). In contrast Gotg3 is missing out of the top 50 OWs so absolutely no spillover dynamics on play.

Matinee pricing

Actually I’d say it makes it quite easy

Some quick questions for the crowd: A) What will be the first day bigger than Gotg2 B ) What will be the last day smaller than Gotg2?

Re: thread title— looks like it means quite a lot 😎

Eternals was not so long ago. And DS2 and L&T had really bad reception and legs, they were carried to decent totals by inertia but still dealt a lot of damage. So that makes 4/6 of the most recent movies heading into gotg a drag rather than a boost. Now that gotg is good, only 4 of the last 7 are bad, or 3 of the last 5. People will probably view marvels, cap, bolts blade etc as open questions which could easily go either way, and that will drag on their openings— though if any individual ones do turn out good, it will show up with better legs. And if they all turn out good, probably we will mostly have goodwil restored… except for Kang/multiverse stuff, which is the central pillar of the saga 😬

Good call. I had been looking at Gotg2 and IM1 most heavily but will add Rag in. Going to be a bit bumpy with veterans 2nd weekend then JL then thanksgiving vs mdw but still interesting.

Top 4

Probably best case would be following IM1 from Sun to ~385. FWIW IM1 had harder competition…

Great news for TLM
