The precedent of DS2 and Thor indeed speak for themself. If it is as purely received as those two (which is not all clear atm) it will likely do ~115-125
Not great, not terrible. Was going to be difficult to deliver a great narrative with this premise imo so if Kang delivers+some good Cassie and Janet moments that's good enough for me.
Yeah I think this would probably draw more criticism from critics than fans/GA. A lot of buzz for the movie is precisely around setting up other movies— that wouldn’t be an unfortunate surprise it’s delivering on expectations.
AM1 and AM&tW are bangers, so this could be the worst AM movie and also like the 3rd best multiverse saga movie, which would be more than good enough.
This is such a funny circumstance. You’ve got all these weekend records that have stood for years and years, and then the 3rd highest WW grossing movie comes and knocks them down.
And then 7 days later they get broken again by some random aniamtwd cat sequel
Never seen anything like it in any market that I can recall
China has seen (and was seeing even before covid) more of a shift towards local industry than a lot of those comp markets. I have it about 450-525 which is not much different.
The Fri/wed is rough more so than Fri/Th. Competition didn't make a big impact on terms of screen loss but is just siphoning interest some I suppose.
Still looking 180+ish in my estimation
It’s fine, especially now that the shows are Wed release. Much better than competing with another flagship show.
That said, it seems many shows are pushed back. I would not be at all surprised if they premiered it just after Gotg to finish right before CM2 for tie in value
Definitely worth paying attention to whether 2023 movies consistently underperform their 21&22 quorum comps imo. But again you have QM mucking things up — ultimately if it is a real trend it’s not going to break like 20-0, it’ll be you know 14-6 or whatever and then you can post-hoc rationalize the 6 if you’re inclined
