  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Wow, tying the Incredibles 2, huge overperformance from AM tonight
  4. 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
  5. 7:50 ET MT Update: AMATW: 33.2% I2: 19% JWFK: 17.9% First Purge: 11.1% Sicario: 3.1%
  6. 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.
  7. Here we sit at 4:10PM ET/1:10PM PT and AM&tW is #1 now: AM&TW 22.5 Incredibles 20.7 JWFK 20.5 First Purge 13.3 Soldado 4.2
  8. Everything except A4 might pale a little in comparison, but that won’t stop me
  9. Wow, might not have that much worse an opening than Homecoming in lc, right? Maybe 10%?
  10. Isn’t Culture Day the last Wednesday of a month? Didn’t think this was a culture day opening.
  11. Not familiar with this “Shorltand” character. Any relation to Cate Shortland?
  12. Some AM&tW stuff will play a very important role in A4, but it seems clear that they're deliberately trying to market this as more of a stand alone palette cleanser.
  13. Hopefully Ant-Man will be walk-up driven. Worked out for FK, not so much for Solo, realistically a low hype Marvel property should be somewhere in between.
  14. I think people often conflate a lot of people thinking there’s a chance of a 100M weekend with a lot of people thinking that 100M is likely/the bar for success. The former has has been apparent for months. The latter has never existed.
  15. Really funny to see I2, FK and DP2 all clustered in the same 31k window, when in the US they were spaced in increments of around 25M.
  16. FK is on the low end of medium domestically and WW in my opinion. It would have needed to be below 350 to be really dissapointing, and it won't. WW it would have needed to be below 1.1 or so to be really dissapointing, and it won't. Still, of direct sequels to 1.4B+ grossers (AoU, IW, TLJ, F8, FK) it will probably come in as the lowest. Nobodies heads will roll, nothing is being cancelled, it isn't a bunch below expectations -- it's just that the expectations it is meeting were of having a big drop.
  17. Hiting 700 was always predicated on “if this animated superhero movie drop more like an animated movie than a superhero movie.” Clearly it is dropping more like a superhero movie in reality, which was always known to be a possibility. Still an Incredible performance even if it doens’t crack 600.
  18. I assume this works better in the comic, but seeing it just written out like that in a single paragraph it seems pretty silly that this wouldn’t have occurred to Ares before.
