Btw sales are a lot more frontloaded than Endgame per my data. Like the Fri/Th ratio in tickets was 1.3 for EG the Sat before release, for NWH maybe ~0.8.
0.8 now or expecting 0.8 sat before release (7 days from now)

That's even more depressing. They will lean even heavier on men in tights films if that is even possible.

But can one genre? 👀

Yeah I had an arithmetic error with the Sun, oopsie 😅
The Sat was a bit weak though, should have been able to hit low 13s even with corrected math

Crash for spidey starts at midnight, presales should be 3AM or so I guess.

Exactly what kind of B.O take should GBA have during a pandemic ? It will beat the atrocious 2016 film on half the budget and in a year where the biggest film in the U.S has done a little over 220 million.
To respond to the content of the post, it could well fall short of the 2016 one and the biggest 2021 us film will be 600M+

The demographics for larger cities are going to be bread and butter to this movie. I believe that’s what he saying.
Well, that's definitely the first sentence. The sentence seems to suggest "and therefore the competition will be less of a problem" and I'm just not sure how that is supposed to work. NYC will also be slammed by NWH M4 Sing2 Kings Man Underdog Jordan.

Keep in mind that WSS is going to do a lot better in the big cities than it will anywhere else (NYC is naturally going to be by far the biggest market for it given the Broadway/Sondheim connections), which is why its theater count next weekend is on the low side for a $100M budget movie. All it needs to do is open to around $15M or more and it'll be set for a long run, especially when it's looking to be one of this year's biggest Oscar contenders.
I don't understand the thesis here. It's not like the competition will be skipping the big urban centers.

I think the key with that quote is, he's suggesting they were thinking about those questions while making it. So, if it was on their mind in the middle of production, they probably didn't decide to answer it with "nah, we'll choose the finished product where he doesn't have a character arc -- that will really subvert expectations"
-
WSS’s release date is so unfortunate. NWH mid weekend alone would be okay but then 5 wide openers —including a few moderately big ones — in the first weekend its past contracts. Yeesh.

IW pt 1&2 was a placeholder they gave in 2014 to movies coming out 4-5 later. This is being announced 10 months before. I’m pretty sure it’s the final title.

One is a more interesting creative choice than the other ngl.
Think this is just a you thing, probably not much more to be said 🤷♂️

Or you just give the second part a different title instead of Empire Strikes Back being called Star Wars Part 2. You're still selling it as a separate film.
If you had about two hours worth of story about the universe finding a new hope, about 4 hours of story about the empire striking back, and about 2 hours of story about the Jedi returning, it wouldn’t be that out there to make:
Star Wars: A New Hope
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Part One
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Part two
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
Could you give one of those middle movies a different subtitle altogether, sure. But I don’t really see why one is much better than the other.

Huh. I was meaning to ask what's with name. Guess make sense.
This is my NWH username. Now I can skip 100s of comments this month about being a product driven marketplace

I think we can do 250-350. Maybe a little optimistic losing Xmas, but several factors are here for nice sequel growth.

The first sold 2.7M+ DVD & Blu rays in US, par Far From Home vs 3.5M of Incredibles 2.
That's closer than the box office of the three. I suppose part 2 shall make things closer BO wise.
Oh, didn’t know that. Makes TDK BB comparison look more reasonable 🤞

This would be an issue if it was the first film, I think (hope?) that enough people liked Miles/Gwen/Peter B (is he in this?) and others in the first one that selling this on the characters rather than the concept will work.
Sony probably more concerned with selling to people who didn’t see Spiderverse than people who liked spiderverse a lot. That’s how you get sequel growth.
On the other hand I assume there was a lot of directorial freedom here, harder to speculate where they wanted to take the story until we see it.

I am not sure we will see any live action characters in this one honestly… but if we don’t, Part Two for sure.

I kind of wonder if they will go full ham and go for a PG-13 as Sony Animation is the only animation studio open for PG-13 and R rated animation.
Huh. Didn’t realize spiderverse was PG.

I’m curious on if NWH will have an effect on it for the GA? Cause I really don’t wanna hear “Why do we need an animated one, when we had the real one a year ago?”
I am thinking (and hoping) it will be more like “woah, another one, cool. I liked seeing all those Spider-Men and different universes combining last Christmas, I should check this out” from the (substantial) portion of the audience that will have seen NWH but not Spiderverse 1.

It is sequel to best Spider-Man movie ever.
I agree

… but the BO is incredibly clear that the GA likes crossover “gimmicks”

It will previews and OW over I2 once the internet becomes convinced it has T&A
On a less memey note, if AT&T take NWH to 700M+ with a multiverse story, it really could help this one 10 months later, especially if some of them appear which seems reasonably likely to me.

Yeah, but barely. Sounded like he would appear in the movie proper this time.
