Finally watched this proper. Vacillating between two reactions: Man, that was great. Loved Brie even if she didn’t have too much to work with, Fury great, Talos+family were great, Goose was great, Rambeaus were great. Eh, that felt somehow kind of... weightless? Maybe it’s just being set way before the main storyline (I also had an issue with this in WW, though oddly not Captain America 1). Maybe the amnesiac structure, though that was at least somewhat fresh. The whole Kree stuff was underdeveloped, Ronan, Minn-Erva, Mar-Vell, Yon Rogg, Supreme Intelligence all kind of flat. I’m fine with the Avengers being named after her (hope there’s a joke about this in Endgame, like “We’re the Avengers.” “Did Fury name you?” “Yeah, why?” “Geeze, what a softie.”) and him losing his eye to Goose. Fine with the Skrulls being good, though I think they could still be villains 24 years later. One thing this movie did not do a very good job of imo is justifying why Fury never used the pager before for world-scale threats, or why Carol didn’t return of her own accord to check in with her family between saving alien worlds. Hopefully Endgame or her sequels can resolve that more satisfactorily. Overall I expect to watch it a few more times, we’ll see how my opinion changes, but people ranks somewhere 9-12.

Ahh, yup yup yup. The mega grossers come to mind more readily for me than the well budgeted hits. Probably also some of the Raimi trilogy: SM1: budget 139, OS-C 415, — seems profitable SM2: budget 200, OS-C 405, — doubt it SM3: budget 258, OS-C 535+ 20 in China — skeptical TDK: budget 185, OS-C 470 — seems close TDKR: Budget 250, OS-C 585+ 50 in China — don’t think so, but at least close Not as exclusive a club as I thought, and only mentioned 21st century movies so far. Really shows the incredibly success of the genre in this moment.

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

Too bad but it certainly makes sense for theater people to be busy today. Many thanks to him and you for the tidbits we do get. Also it would still be valuable to know what today’s CM number was even if we didn’t learn it until after the OW, for the purpose of future comps — not sure if that data is even easily retrievable afterward. -

25% higher than BP so far in AUS, would translate to some 10.5ish USD (can vary by a decent bit based on FSS). US OW is generally some 15-17x the AUS one, for maybe 157-178, but it’s not a hard and fast rule. BP was much stronger in the Us relative to AUS than usual. I posted a lot more detail in the AUS thread yesterday. -

Linear extrapolation from yesterday is 49,745*39341/28795=68k. Lower than early in the day, but not sure how it moves once showings actually begin. -

Hmm, so it did. Side effect of “quote selection,” I guess. Well, I was just making fun of the tweet’s low end
