Menor the Destroyer

I think MTC share may drop further and can push it a bit higher. We'll see.

I think 55% drop is feasible from that morning number and extrapolating the pace. Too early to tell though.

Not if the legs are as bad as they seem to be projecting. 140 would definitely be a disappointment. Those legs seem crazy bad though even with NTTD. Let's see.

Coogler and Waititi aren't considered great directors?

I've read many times that Tolkien was really influenced by his experience in WW1. I'm sure WW2 played some role in his thinking but I'm pretty sure the formative influence was the first.

You mean WW1?

I mean I think it will be an upper-echelon CBM anyway, so probably all this will be for nothing. But if anything I think critics will give it more positive reviews even if it's not that good because they like Zhao's style.

These Fandango lists are basically useless but Eternals is the clear favorite to win the fall given SC's opening.

This seems very optimistic. Let's see how it goes though.

IM3 (and CW) didn't have the OS advantages of FFH and CM. As @Legion of the Ten Crores said their rankings at the time were a lot stronger. I am out of reactions but agree with the tier list that Legion posted. Anyway as far as Eternals it will have good reviews and good audience scores. No need to overthink this after 25 movies.

I would say low tier (excluding Covid films) so far has been Ant-Man 1 and 2, Hulk, TFA, Thor 1. High tier is Avengers films, Iron Man 3, BP. All else is mid tier.

True, as much as people make fun of the next gen on the men's side, they are mostly just stopped by Djokovic. Even once the big 3 retire it won't be the same chaos like women's tennis post-Serena (post her peak I mean).

Compared to Avengers films they are. Also you can see the potential when you increase to a larger scale with NWH vs FFH hype.

but honestly I was expecting a bit more after the way it started. It was frontloaded like Shang-Chi's first trailer.

Around 25 hours: Youtube (main channel): 16.3M views, 559k likes Youtube (IGN): 5.1M views, 194k likes Youtube (ONE Media): 2.2M views, 54k likes Youtube (HBO Max): 1.6M views, 66k likes Probably another few million from various channels. All told around 30M Twitter: 7.3M, 103.5k likes on the main tweet Facebook: 2.7M (movie page) Instagram: 1.36M (movie account), around 1.1M between the two WB accounts. Numbers are not that crazy. It was really frontloaded to the first few hours.

Would phrase this like: low tier = Less popular/known character and small-scale story mid-tier = either less popular/known character and big-scale story (CM) or more popular character and small-scale story (FFH) upper-mid = more popular character and big-scale story

TSS comp depends on the final few days anyway. I am concerned that it's running below F9.

We're really about to have a qualifier against the world #73 in a major tournament final. Unreal. This US Open has been crazy fun.

Is this good or bad? Lol.

Deadline has sources for the numbers I'm pretty sure. That's how they often report a daily right before Disney officially reports it.

Given Keyser's update I would guess the lower end. Not sure though since there was a huge MTC2/MTC1 split. I don't get why they won't just report the number. Even 4.8 would be perfectly ok.

So that takes care of one of the rumors I was waiting on. Now if Nintendo could just get on that Switch port for Twilight Princess...

Alright, now I'm pumped. Can't wait!

Uh...I don't really see what extra information that line shows (haven't read any leaks). Doesn't the trailer make clear that he went back to the Matrix at some point? I mean he's in the Matrix (presumably) throughout most of the trailer.

Closer to 2 hours.
