Y’know, I alsways said IW’s true Friday was a bit slack. I didn’t realize it was 20M of slack though. It’ set a record just one year ago, and now its true Friday is getting dunked on by some 45%
Step away for a couple hours to watch Endgame again and suddenly the OW is 340/1.28B !?!?!?
I truly, truly, truly thought I was done underestimating Endgame this time.
It’s a good thing I added the new club option before this news or it wouldn’t even look sufficiently bold
Yeah, it’s interesting to beat TFA by like 50% in total presales and 5% on Thursday. Strong suggestion that MCU will still play somewhat like MCU on the weekend trajectory (though obviously a record low MCU internal multi is coming).
Hmmmmm. This is a problem. The top option in my club is supposed to be for the truly deranged, not just the somewhat optimistic. Expect a new tier in a few hours.
Just named 2 two random existing MCU directors. The point being that the only directing duo they currently have is Borden and fleck, so their options will be something like:
have one person direct and be flattened like a pancake 2/3rds through production
hire a directing duo that’s never been in MCU yet
Boden and Fleck
some kind of directing team pulled from existing MCU directors, likely based on focal characters and themes of that particular Avengers entry
The crossover films now are so big that they break any single human who tries to direct them. They’ll need to find a new duo or just have it be like Coogler+Gunn co-directed or something.
