Legion Again

The reason spider can’t ask this is that the real answer is “oh, well… we could 😅”

DS2 will be the first CBM eldritch horror, rest are just eldritch action comedies 😏

Are you sure? I have this weird feeling all of existence might be destroyed a killer robot if I decide not to. Nah, I’m happy with the results of the sacred timeline there

I’m sorry, but I find this unacceptable. I will go consume eldritch horrors for a few centuries instead.

Just trying to predict SMH accurately. If you’re from the future maybe you can tell me whether I got close.

I predict a 117M OW for 880M WW.

Anyway the trade war and senate vote of no confidence stuff is why PT is easily better than OT and ST

Only the Sequel Sequel Trilogy can save us now

TA did its 623M as the movie following TFA’s 176M.

The meltdown bar looms 👀

There is definitely some irony here that I enjoy. People have been moaning and gnashing their their teeth for like a fucking decade about the “marvel formula.” It’s so dull. So repetitive. Why oh why can’t marvel be bold and take risks with more unique movies. Well, guess what — turns out, the formula is good. Not merely good — it’s great! Critics like the formula. GA likes the formula. More enfranchised fans like the formula. It's just Marvel and formula. Formula and Marvel and their movies. Marvel and formula, forever and forever, a hundred years marvel and formula.

I think people pay a little too much attention to critic reception and audience reception and not enough to Feige reception. As far as predicting future impact, I mean. Obviously, you’d prefer to hit a triple, which is what the mcu usually does. But the implications moving forward for a movie with poor critic and audience that Feige personally thinks is great are probably quite different than poor critic and audience+Feige personally thinks is kind of weak. Could all be PR BS of course, but based on the difference in reception among fans and GA I suspect that Feige genuinely thought, and still thinks, that this movie rocks (which is fair, ‘cause — it does). Actions speak louder than words so we’ll see how it all develops in a year or three, but I just don’t see much of a kneejerk change of plans being likely.

great: Eternals good: BW BOP didn’t see it: Mulan

Actually 102M though.

Oh, I did a mental math error, should have been 13. It will be at 7.7M off a 3.6 week so that is only around 40% drops — I don’t think it will get squeezed too much by Clifford. Maybe 11 or 12 but certainly not sub 10, not luck required.

My off the cuff, not much thought remark from last weekend thread: More serious analysis: Duel — 11 dispatch — 14 Soho — 15 Halloween — 93 Can Richard+Gucci go below 63M? Sure, why not. Maybe we can throw Spencer in too. We haven’t seen this kind of movie attract the GA to cinemas yet and I’m not betting on it until it happens.

The “ceiling” (dumb concept) is whatever TFA would make if it released for th first time this Dec. 750M+ imo

Free Guy

Yes. Gucci will go under 50. Could go under 25 tbh.

Boy, it sure is a good thing you resisted the urge to say that, because it would look pretty foolish after “******** 2” comes out

Rita Ora and Letitia Wright will kill marvel.

Should have set the meltdown bar at 70,165,559 in retrospect, oh well. No post hoc adjustments.

Critics just follow china’s lead lagged by a few movies. MCU is on the outs now and forever, alas
