    Eh, while it's not "OMG amazing" reception, I would say WandaVision reception was overall pretty good. Hard to quantify but maybe in about the Guardians 2/Doctor Strange range of reception if we compare to the films. Some backlash for sure but there are also plenty who rank it as one of the best.

    Overall the finale for me was good, though not quite great. I will put WandaVision in that same category as well. Definitely some things could have been improved, the balance of the sitcom and non-sitcom wasn't always perfect, some of the action felt confusing, and the SWORD aspects were very cliched. But overall a satisfying chapter in Wanda's journey and I'm very excited to see where she goes next.

    First time since Siege of Mandalore that I've been tempted to stay up for one of these Disney+ releases. But I will hopefully be able to resist.

    Also same as FFH to be fair, though I always felt like something was off with Google trends for that film given the actual box office was much bigger than it suggested.

    He already admitted that it was himself. As for finale expectations, I expect a strong ending to the show's narrative but I don't expect some kind of massive MCU-shifting reveals. To quote episode 8 "It's not that kind of show."
  7. Menor the Destroyer
    Wouldn't set expectations based on that, we don't know how theater count/potentially less walk-ups may affect things.

    WandavisionFinale has been popping in and out of top Twitter trends today. Hype is definitely there.

    A big part of this forum is using presales and early performances to see where a film is headed. It's not being a "drama queen" to accurately describe the numbers so far. Nobody is saying it's impossible for things to change but when you start very low the climb ahead becomes much harder. And btw this movie is factually already out. I also am rooting for this to do well, but the numbers are what they are.
  10. Menor the Destroyer
    Ah, missed that. In that case I will temper my optimism about those numbers.

    Am I missing something -- why does true Friday matter for these comps?
  12. Menor the Destroyer
    Fair enough. I think I have higher expectations than you for other markets, hence why I went with $100 million.
  13. Menor the Destroyer
    I mean, I think we could tell something from Widow. If it does, like, <$100 million total, that would be a really bad sign.
  14. Menor the Destroyer
    That makes a lot of sense. TLJ and TFA being even in PS at MTC1 always bothered me, especially as it was reported in the trades that TLJ was like 80-85% of TFA PS and then you had confirmed that TFA was overall much higher.

    We haven't had a surefire "would've been a hit pre-Covid" Hollywood film yet, so I think it's a bit too early to judge. GvK should be an indicator and Black Widow will probably be the most telling indicator with how reliable a floor MCU solos tend to have.

    Seeing the reviews makes this rocket way up on my anticipation scale, but I still don't want to pay that much for Premier Access nor go to theaters. Sadly I guess I will have to wait.

    They are out, RT/Metacritic just tends to update irregularly at the beginning of the embargo.

    Don't WDAS movies tend to have greater relative success in Cinemark vs AMC/Regal? I seem to recall a distribution like that for Frozen 2, at least. I think Cinemark not showing Raya could have a bigger impact than people think.

    A little strange to me considering that stuff like episode 4 (which I thought was vastly inferior to this one) has a very similar rating. Finale will hopefully have a stronger rating.

    Easily the best episode so far. First one to really have me emotional.
  25. Menor the Destroyer
    I hadn't even heard of Luca. Guess I should go check out the trailer.
