149M imo

Endgame could not do it back in 2019 because Captain Marvel had already grossed $413M by the time EG opened but NWH will most likely be able to become the highest grossing film of the year domestically from just its OW when it outgrosses Shang Chi which only made $224M.

NWH audience scores online are extremely high on LBD and IMDb so far. on Letterboxd it's ahead of every Spider-Man movie except Spider-Verse so I think it might get an A+ Cinema Score after all. despite a lot of people doubting him Jon Watts delivered the best live action Spider-Man movie.

too much of a reset maybe but I guess it will be reversed some time in the future. he was pretty much erased from everything, even Happy didn't know he was Aunt May's niece lol. no way Spider-Man will be left out of the next Avengers movie imo.

I'm not exactly sure but I think they changed Wong's dialogue from the first teaser? I don't remember him saying "don't cast that spell it's dangerous" in the actual movie. that first teaser was quite misleading so I guess Marvel marketing is still on point

this should be doing Avengers Endgame numbers if it was released in the summer but I guess December openers gross tend to be more spread out, I can still see it coming closer to 300M by Sunday.

judging from the trailer it sounds like Grindelwald will be in even less scenes than in the last movie so this probably won't be the one that shows his duel with Dumbledore. I know they initially wanted this to be a 5 movie story but after the 2nd one wasn't loved by critics & audiences you'd think they will try to wrap up this franchise sooner than later. anyway as one of the few people who liked the last one (the ending easily won me over with Grindelwald's speech) I'm still excited for what they have in store.

after watching the original adaptation from the 40s I thought Bradley Cooper was perfect for a role like this so I'm curious to see how GDT managed to mess that up lol

people hate on Jon Watts for making Spider-Man movies look "visually bland or w/e" when most of phase 3 and onwards Marvel films have had that grey filter and audiences liked it every time. so it's a non-issue, it's just how successful blockbuster films have adapted to look like. a better criticism would be why is Spidey complaining to Doctor Strange about his personal issues instead of trying to solve them by himself. after FFH we were already on track to for Holland to be a more responsible and independent Spider-Man so that plot point felt like a step down to me imo.

I’ll be able to see eternals next week but I refuse to believe that marvel would make a boring or slow paced film ( for the GA) and since hardcore marvel fans seem to like it just fine then it shouldn’t be inaccessible either like dune or something. so I think the B cinemascore is just another Tenet situation where general audiences couldn’t understand the plot because of its structure so once they pay more attention or rewatch it they’ll come around to it. unlike The B CS that BvS got where it simply was just poorly received even when the plot was very clear.

yeah I forgot about Blade, they haven't dated them yet but it could take that nov 2023 slot.

with Eternals out of the way I'm thinking the next 6 MCU films could be doing 3x of The Incredible Hulk's OW since all of them are highly anticipated sequels. 166M+ should be within reach for Spidey, Doctor Strange and Black Panther and while I don't know much about Guardians 3 it still has that May Marvel slot so it should also do it. if any of them would miss I would say it's either Thor or The Marvels especially how the latter doesn't sound like a direct sequel but I haven't heard much else about these two so who knows. it's exciting how the next non-sequel MCU film will be the Fantastic Four!

it sucks that eternals got banned in some countries but most fans seem to like it, so much for the first rotten mcu film . critics reviews for blockbusters continue to be meaningless.

all the people who have been celebrating marvel getting its first rotten movie on RT from critics are going to be disappointed when Eternals opens to 75M-100M this weekend.

still thinking Eternals can beat Venom's OW despite the 6/10 reviews.
