Menor the Destroyer

Hmm, really? I'm sure it'll be good, even top-tier MCU but it doesn't seem like it would have the social significance or themes of something like BP to get into awards consideration.

So for the MCU, 2021 will just be what 2020 was supposed to be. On the film side at least.

What a legend already. His scores are always so true to the material.

Yep, trailer has been doing very well. Better than I expected I admit.

Why would Vader be hunting down Inquisitors? Was there some kind of schism that I'm not aware of (not caught up on all the books)?

Possible, they're definitely up to something regarding his genetic material from what Herzog's character (I forget the name) was saying in the first season. Another possibility is a former Inquisitor.

Settings look better than last season, I liked the sea area and that ice cave. The opening shot of the trailer reminded me a lot of the beginning of KOTOR 2. Really excited to see how this plays out.

I'm seeing that it's not Rosario Dawson, the actress' name is Sasha Banks.

Pretty good trailer, who is that hooded person supposed to be? She looks sort of? like Rosario Dawson and was shown right when the trailer said "Jedi" but is clearly not a Togruta. Edit: Apparently the actress is Sasha Banks.

Cassie is great but Scott is greatest.

Really going to be all LA WCF I guess. Ugh. I'm so sick of Cali teams (other than the Kings).

I think both of your definitions are valid. YA is basically a marketing label so it's not like there's any really agreed-upon classification.

Yeah, I think your point is definitely valid. A lot of people here are getting offended because they think YA = Hunger Games knockoff.

People aren't saying Dune is YA, they're saying the trailer makes it look YA. Other than Barnack, at least, but he is using YA in a broader sense.

I disagree. To sell this to a wider audience it's necessary to make people understand why this is such a beloved story. That doesn't really come across in this trailer, it just looks like Hunger Games in space to people who don't know Dune. And people are pretty much tired of those sorts of movies by this point.

I liked the trailer but not sure it markets well to a general audience. If you didn't know what Dune is it would feel like a very generic YA sci-fi trailer.

Come on, there is a big difference between a disaster response and making box office predictions for fun.

Wow. Even as close as a week before he was sure he would make it through. This makes it even more sad for me.

There should be no recasting (unless he explicitly wanted/asked for it). There's no T'Challa without him.

And all of that history shows exactly why high trailer views would be expected. So far the views are good, but nothing out of this world. I'm just talking numerically here.

Because it's a DC movie with a sizeable fanbase and an iconic character. The trailer views are strong but you are massively exaggerating how strong.

How many other hyped movies even have a year in advance trailer lol...this is just selective. Besides, I don't see why being a year in advance would make the hype less than a trailer several months in advance.

South. My mom is from Karnataka and my dad is from Tamil Nadu.

Local. My parents are from India.

I think the first time I remember actually following any specific box office number was The Avengers breaking the opening weekend record when I was 12, before that all I knew about was Avatar being the highest grossing film. I remember being kinda confused about why they initially said it had gotten 200.3 million (or something like that) and then it was revised to 207.4 million. And then the next week I saw in the news that it had made 103 million in its second weekend and I thought that this movie was doing quite well and it was very impressive to have a 100 million second weekend (because the number sounded big). But after that I didn't pay much attention to any other movie's box office for a while. I do remember Age of Ultron's failure to break the record, but I don't think I paid much attention to that beyond mild surprise. My next memory of the box office was Jurassic World breaking the Avengers record when I had gone to visit my relatives in India, I remember reading the headline while my cousin and I were waiting to see the film and being quite surprised that it had been so popular in the USA. Now, later that year I was of course excited for The Force Awakens being a big SW fan, and I think that was when I discovered a bit more about box office. That was the first time I knew that Thursday previews existed after TFA got it's massive number, and of course I was quite happy to see the massive OW that followed. This was probably the first time I ever followed a film after its OW, as periodically checked back in on its BO as it rolled through the Christmas season. I distinctly remember when it lost to Ride Along 2, and also remember following it's opening weekend in China -- the first time I was really aware of international BO. Then came 2016, which was the first year I started really following box office. First came BvS, which I didn't follow too closely but I remember being surprised by how huge it's OW was and then seeing it quickly crash down to earth. Then came the real turning point, Captain America: Civil War, which I was really rooting for to beat the OW record as I had become much more invested in the MCU during those months after I had soured a little on SW which left room for a new fandom. For that film, I was looking obsessively at early international numbers and was a little disappointed that it was lagging Age of Ultron, but I was hopeful that it would smash the record in the USA. Alas, it was not to be. I was a little disappointed at the OW despite it being huge, and then seeing the legs be pretty meh was also disappointing. After that I didn't follow much BO until Rogue One. Now I was very excited for this film and its box office after the great marketing campaign, and from lurking r/boxoffice (I think) I saw references to this strange site called Box Office Theory. At some point during the first week of the run (though after the OW, I think) I checked this place out and started lurking. I remember some Variety report that RO would have a $30 million Friday which was much bigger than expected, which is where I first saw references to Rth and then he ended up debunking the Variety report. But then after the run of RO I didn't check this place throughout much of 2017, and my box office following was mostly just browsing through r/boxoffice now and then. I still followed it much more than previous years, though, as I did pay attention to the runs of specific films and their competition more. 2018, however, was probably the most significant year in terms of me becoming interested in box office. Specifically, it was Black Panther's run that I started lurking on this site more often. After seeing huge presale reports, I looked through to see just how big this was looking to get. I remember rooting for it to smash records and obsessively following the OW hour-b-hour like I had never done before. After the massive Thursday, there was some disappointment at early Friday numbers before the final one ended up being quite good, and then the great Saturday and then I remember seeing the shock on here (shared by me) at that $60 million Sunday. I followed BP's run each weekend much more closely than ever before. Then of course came Infinity War. Unlike others I didn't think it had a chance to break the record, but I remember following each daily number and also international numbers, and being pleasantly shocked at that record-breaking Saturday which basically guaranteed the OW record. After that, the epic bomb of Solo, the massive success of Incredibles 2 and Fallen Kingdom, and the decent performance of Ant-Man and the Wasp all still managed to keep me invested throughout. So at this point I was pretty regularly lurking on the site. 2019, and specifically Captain Marvel's run, was what got me to start posting. I was incredibly hyped for both the movie and box office, believing it had a shot at $1 billion and just in general being caught up in pre-Endgame mania. I remember discovering Pulse for the first time and the updating numbers had me hooked. Seeing people posting about the Pulse numbers, I wanted to join in the discussion and so that prompted me to make an account. Though the OW went (slightly) below what I'd hoped, the very strong full run still prompted me to become more of an active poster. And then, of course, we had the behemoth of Endgame, probably the greatest presale run any of us will ever see and an incredibly exciting one, and that experience made sure that I would be following BO as long as there were theaters.
