    Found this comment on the MCU subreddit, makes a lot of sense imo :ph34r:

     

    Disney is smart enough to know that the story will break one way or another. So the only way that they can control the break is to control how people see the story. So they fire James Gunn, knowing the backlash it'll bring. In fact, they bank on it. Count on it. If they don't fire him and wait for the crowd to call for the witch hunt, they have to fire him permanently. For real. He doesn't have a chance because public view has eaten him alive.

    HOWEVER, if they DO fire him, Disney takes the heat and waits for the fan backlash. Suddenly the view of James Gunn is no longer "the monster", but now of a man seeking repentance. A man sorry for his past actions, and how he's moved beyond them. James Gunn stays humble during all of this, doesn't put up a fight, and instead owns up to everything said about him. He's heartbroken, but not going to fight back.

    Fans call for his reinstatement. Disney lets a few days go by, in a little while they say that they hear the calls for justice. That they hear the fans wanting James Gunn back. And in an unprecedented turn of events, Disney hires him back. Disney comes out of this with a little PR scuffle

     

     

     

    That is utterly absurd. Further proof that Marvel fans are completely delusional.

    If they use the script that Gunn developed, then what was the point of firing him? His work would still be attached to the project. 

     

    In firing him, I assumed that meant that he was being taken off the project completely ie even his script wouldn’t be used. 

    They have "ended their relationship with him". They can't un-do any work hes already done for them. If he's written a script they'll still use that. And then itll be rewritten by another writer. And directed by a different director. The point is they removed him from doing any more work on GOTG 3.

    Otherwise they might as well be retroactively removing him from their previous movies. Not going to happen.

    I’m so mad, some reviews have no respect for people wanting to avoid mamma Mia spoilers 😡

    I heard an interview with Amanda Seyfreid and she was asked to give the setup of the movie, she told us what happens in last 15 minutes as she seemed to think that happened at the start... safe to say the plot is not particularly relevant and you can't be spoiled of anything.

    You go to see the dancing and the singing, how can it be spoiled ?

    My club was over 650 m.

     

    For the summer game I went high with most my predictions.

     

    Being 90 m off with Ant-Man isn't so bad when you look at my entire top 12.

     


    😄 Worldwide top 12:
     
    1) Infinity War - 1.75 billion
    2) Jurassic World 2 - 1.45 billion
    3) Incredibles 2 - 1.1 billion
    4) Deadpool 2 - 900 m
     
    5) Han Solo - 800 m
    6) Mission Impossible- 750 m
    7) Ant-Man and Wasp - 700 m
    😎 Hotel Transylvania 3 - 650 m
     
    9) Mama Mia 2 - 600 m
    10) Skyscraper - 550 m
    11) Oceans 8 - 500 m
    12) The Meg - 450 m

    Your Incredibles, Mission Impossible, and Mamma Mia numbers should be solid.

    Based on reality, it had a decent OW gross increase and will have a decent DOM and WW increase.

     

    With a medium budget.

    Will it though? Its unlikely to get to 200M. Given the first one did 180M that does not seem to be much of an increase.

    "Medium budget" - Deadline says budget is 162M, not as much as Guardians of the Galaxy 2 but still not small / medium.
