I feel like I can rarely tell which days keyser means with “OD” or “D2” for this movie. Is 6.5-7 tpsupposed to be the actual OD figure (Th+Fri?). Or just previews? And D2 is Saturday, but since it’s being compared with MK’s OD I guess that’s how he’s referring to Friday? So then afaik we don’t know how actual D2 (Sat) looking?
Anyway 6.5 would be a nutso good preview figure, if those nums are Th only I definitely expect it will go lower as sales remain relatively tapped out. But 6.5M Th+Fr would be pretty disappointing at this point.

Honestly, I don’t even think this film is “pandering” to China, it stars a Chinese Canadian and appears to be set mostly in San Francisco, if anything it’s aimed at American audiences. I’m sure they hope it does well in Asian markets, but let’s be honest, Marvel movies don’t need to “pander” to anyone at this stage, they do well worldwide based on the brand name alone. And anyway, I don’t see anything particularly pandering about an Asian superhero based on comics from the 70’s getting his own film, it’s not like Marvel just cobbled Shang Chi together last year to try and capitalise on the Chinese market (I know you’re not suggesting that).
Yeah this is deliberately not pandering. Or at least, like CRA, “pandering” more toward Asian Americans than actual Chinese audiences.

I will respectfully disagree on this; based on what I'm seeing so far, I don't see how this outgrosses Black Widow in any territory. But hey, 2020/2021 remain unpredictable, so anything's possible!
I’d have BW ahead with identical release conditions, but it’s hybrid and will have some more markets still severely impacted by COVID.
-
About to hit the 3 hr mark the trailer is pacing about 20-25% above BW’s 1st trailer in YT likes. Not sure if that’s actually an improvement since I forget the timing for BW and there’s probably been some general YT inflation. But probably gonna end up mid-high 1Ms.
Very normal for MCU - unlike Ant-man movies.

I mean we’re in pandemic times besides I feel like if the pandemic didn’t happen I feel the MCU would’ve started to have diminishing returns.
I could have been more clear about that, but my comment was part of a discussion of what it would have done sans pandemic.
Pn the other hand, we won’t really be in a pandemic in Sep. It’s far from clear that this will even do lower in reality than with say a 2020 Labor Day release in a world where the pandemic never happened.
Finally the diminishing return expectation doesn’t really have anything pointing to it. If anything the evidence is that the MCU would have seen increasing returns.
-
Both Ant-man films did very unusually low numbers for MCU. Expecting AM&tW numbers for any other movie is de facto pretty pessimistic.
-
Normal would probably do standard Marvel stuff, 100/300/900 or something. Shouldn’t get a hybrid release, but a little lingering impact in some markets is likely from COVID. Possible that in other markets early Sep is still part of the reopening boom though.

Hoping there is some twist with Awkwafina’s character.

First MCU first trailer in a long time that I don’t really like. Still expecting to enjoy the movie of course but felt a bit more goofy and American than I was hoping for.
Just realized these are the same vibes I got from the finished product of Raya.

Numerically idno, 125M 4-day, 260 total? China was hoping for like 250 now will hope for 150, and that gets you to some 800 WW.

Trailer should come in the next 12 hours or so

WB just posted all their pandemic dailies to Mojo, so looks like daily reporting is back on.

I guess at this point I should try to see if we can dig anything up on Broly and MHA 2019.

If a majority of reserved seats are for DS, then I guess a majority of PWPs for openers that weekend are also for DS. Would be nice to get more clarity, but c'est la vie

DS+MK over GvK 5day time 👀

That was okay. Whole show feels simultaneously a little slow and a little rushed somehow. But it’s doing what it needed to do while being reasonably entertaining, I’m generally pretty happy when Bucky and/or Zemo are on screen doing stuff. With the buildup episodes being weaker than Wandavision though can’t afford a similarly uneven finale.

WW #1 before May then 👀

Real talk though, I think IMAX going 100% MK for the FSS was a mistake. DS has already done crazy business for them in several markets too so it’s not like they should be getting caught completely flat footed here.

Anyone brave enough to start a Demon Slayer OW over Mortal Kombat OW?
I wanted to do it on Monday. Then I wanted to do it on Tuesday... Wednesday... Today...
So no, evidently not quite brave enough 😆
Is “first non-Pokémon anime movie over 10M OW”club worthy? Feel like maybe not. You could try to go for highest non-Pokemon anime OW adjusted, the goal there would be like... 14.3M for Yu-Gi-Oh The Movie?

I can’t see anyway other way to interpret the posts that makes sense, But... it’s not 😆
I mean, this is just a normal Friday opener with Thursday previews, right? Or is Thursday actually the OD?
