Yikes, unless Sat increase can surprise this is going to have a real awful preview multi. Not flopping or anything, but pretty dissapointing to be under 85.

As all things should.

Nice I2 number if it holds, keeping 600 alive.

Bleh. 81.5 is a preview multiplier of 7, which would be really low for the MCU. I guess this is the first summer sequel, but still, going to be sad if that doesn’t go up.

Aww man. My life will be a lot more amusing if I can just pretend I never saw this post.

Disn’t want to speculate about this in the non-spoiler thread, but I wonder if the first post credit scene is responsible for the low Cinemascore. I could see parents who thought it would be totally kid friendly and light hearted being a bit put out as they were leaving the theater.

Not going to read too much into that, but getting a below average cinemascore is obviously not as good as an A would have been for the chances of really great legs.

WOW. Shockingly low, very surprised.

102 including Thursday night previews, and that was literally over a decade ago. 90 is good for AM&tW, but not so far above what you could have reasonably guessed 2 years or 2 weeks ago that I'd expect a big hullabaloo about it. Hopefully Rthanos drops a Fri number near 40 and we can maintain some tension for the next few days.

Have Michael Pena host the Oscars

We do. Every weekend

That would be a bonkers I2 fig

620->215 (~65% drop) ~680->220-280 (68-59% drop) Actually will be quite close if AM lands about 250 in the middle there.

Man, down to 11.2? Crumbling. Looks like a solid true Friday though. Also, it appears I finally have a new addition to my ignore list, think it should improve my weekend threads a fair bit.

IW>CW>TR>AMATW>BP>GOTG2>SMH>DS AM&tW’s position still flexible though, need time to let it marinate — could go up or down 1.

No, I do mean least favorite this year. I was just loathe to phrase it that way because I loved BP.

Don’t really need an “Ant-Man 3”, just gimme The Wasp (ft Cassie, Janet, and Ava).

Too bad I need to wait years for the AM3 over 400M thread.

Just wait til Ant-Man 3 does 125+, won’t be much of a conversation at all.

Favorite MCU characters: 1)Cap 2)Cassie Would not be shocked if I had to switch that up in a decade. Also, I feel having no real “villain” worked pretty well. Much better than, say, Yellowjacket. The best way to not have your villain pale in comparison to Thanos is to sidestep the issue entirely, and I think it works for the story they wanted to tell, which was really about families (Scott+Hope+Cassie, Scott+Cassie+Maggie+Jim, Scott+Luis+Dave+Kurt, Bill+Ava, and of course Hope+Hank+Janet+Scott). Very heartwarming... until, y’know.

Wow, I was expecting this to be well-done B tier filler like the first Ant-Man, but it was actually really great with a ton of well executed emotional and humorous beats. I don’t think it cracks IW, TWS, CW, IM1, GOTG1 tier for me, but at the moment I’d put it up there with Ragnarok and BP in tier 1.5. And if you told me when BP came out that it might be my third favorite MCU film this year I’d have called you a maniac. Also, huge reaction from the crowd at the first post-credits.

Wow, tying the Incredibles 2, huge overperformance from AM tonight

8:50 ET AMATW: 34.8% I2: 18.9% JWFK: 17.5% First Purge: 10.6% Sicario: 2.9% Now 1.6% behind I2+JW2

7:50 ET MT Update: AMATW: 33.2% I2: 19% JWFK: 17.9% First Purge: 11.1% Sicario: 3.1%

Nearing 10 points behind I2+FK (actually is exactly 10.0 behind atm lol), think it will get there in maybe 2 more hours. If it can snag a 12.5 preview or so than 100 will still be in play. Holiday+First Purge is make compe hard, but I think it should be 10-13 or so.
