Legion Again

You have created that which you sought to destroy 👀

Maybe we can pad the thread length with a hot take about how awkshually ep 2 is the best because it set up TCW 🧐

Well…

This is just like when GoT made a misstep with s2e2 The Night Lands (just 8.5). Show never recovered after that tbh, same here. Sad stuff

75 would take a pretty good Sat at this point.

To go a bit more in depth, holdovers that week are gonna be bleeeeeaaaaaak. Pulling avengers level share of showings shouldn't be a problem. So if it misses people's expectation it'll be a demand issue much more than a supply issue.

It is and it will 😎

It uh... 1000% is not

Yeah with that B, the verified now in low 80s, and where Sat PS ended I would guess more like: 9.5 22 26 17.5 74 Still above the meltdown bar, don’t have too much more to say.

Almost as good as Joker, bodes well for legs

They made a good off formula film and the GA delivers a loud and clear message that that's not what they're looking for. Luckily for me I will enjoy the next 50 back to formula movies.

Oof.

Mid 2s probably

Oh, they are hugely impacting OW, and that is clear from the sales pattern. I mean that it won’t impact the Sat bump as much as your comment implied — the Sat will be much lower than it it had SC reception, but the True Fri is also much lower than if it had SC reception already.

Yeah my bad on tdw veteran’s timing there. I had recently been looking at the 2nd weekends for the trio and got it mixed up with the veteran inflated fri for DS and rag. I don’t think reviews are going to affect this as much as you think though — the sat sales were pointing to more like a 40% jump, so 30% is already assuming some impact from the worse wom. Yeah the pandemic injects some additional uncertainty, but V2 and SC Sat were both well in line with expectations from pre-pandemic comps so I’m not *that* concerned about it.

32% to be precise. Ragnarok +38%, DS1 +35%, The dark world +28% off veteran’s inflated fri, and Sat sales have been abnormally strong (potentially related to runtime and imax heaviness, as we saw with dune).

9.5 22.5 29.6 20.4 82 The Sat isn’t even all that aggressive.

The True IM should be pretty close to SC, so like 8% ahead previews and 8% ahead true fri ~8% ahead wknd.

More celestials than I expected. About as much love. Not as much thunder.

I am seeing 22.4 for about 80.5-83.5

Look at what the lock has cost us

Yeah a lot of the issues with this one simply wouldn’t exist for a sequel for structural reasons. And I assume it would be more like 130-140ish minutes. A sequel could hit in 2024 but I agree 2025+ is more likely, so no rush at all. I expect we may see Black Knight in like 3-5 different projects before we see, e.g. Phastos and Kingo again.

Thor and Gotg3 should get there. They barely have to increase from the OW performance of the prior entries, but they should increase a fair bit imo. Marvels won’t need to increase much if at all either, but could drop depending on how things work out. Next 6 OWs over 3x hulk would be a fun club, think I’d go IN.
