    I think a lot of you are forgetting that IW had a shitty Thursday and Friday so Endgame will most likely take the lead back very quickly
  2. Menor the Destroyer
    I'm a little concerned about it tbh, yeah family film walkups but it's also a sequel, there should be some level of presales eventually. Still, I'd wait another couple weeks before really getting worried, we're still a ways out
  3. Menor the Destroyer
    could be but i still think it's more likely they're trying to avoid meh/bad buzz sneaking out for as long as possible
  4. Menor the Destroyer
    Still I feel like any positive reviews would help build buzz. We'll see I guess
  5. Menor the Destroyer
    I guess my point is, if Disney was confident about the reviews then why not let the embargo drop after the international premiere? Helps build buzz, and being a remake it's not like they have to worry about spoilers.
  6. Menor the Destroyer
    in that case why is the premiere so late?
  7. Menor the Destroyer
    I don't know, I feel like better results would be achieved if the film would attempt to go "over the top" instead of making things blander for live action. It doesn't have to be the same as the animated version, it just needs to have that wild energy.
  8. Menor the Destroyer
    What would happen would be it'll be some small-scale origin film a la Ant-Man 1, and it'll make $600 million WW or so, but the other MCU solos will have a much higher average gross due to increased popularity of the franchise after Endgame, so people on here will declare it a flop just like Age of Floptron and Ant-Man and the Flop

    Looking at MT and Fandango, I'm hoping Pikachu's Tuesday increase ends up great because otherwise we could be looking at yet another yikes Tuesday for Endgame (hoping for at least 5.9)
  10. Menor the Destroyer
    I just feel like, even though I'd put it +/- TLJ (maybe slightly higher) myself, Star Wars' upside should not be underestimated with the incredible brand awareness it has in the US. That's why I think TROS over clubs should be really ambitious
  11. Menor the Destroyer
    Is TROS > 700m really that crazy though? I feel like that's in most people's ranges. TROS>750 million might be a more interesting club
  12. Menor the Destroyer
    Tbh the scene doesn't seem terrible or anything to me, it's reasonably entertaining. But it's definitely a big step down from the animated version
  13. Menor the Destroyer
    Also as has been mentioned CM's early presales were benefited by its being the first big blockbuster of the year
  14. Menor the Destroyer
    Yes... I'd say it's extremely likely that both of those will have significantly higher grosses than their previous entries. Where is the evidence that they won't?
  15. Menor the Destroyer
    I expect the former. The movie doesn't look great but 15% is Transformers 5 level
  16. Menor the Destroyer
    I will add to the people who think G2 may be more walkup-based than Aladdin. Beauty and the Beast was very presale-heavy, on the level of a CBM (its OW/PS ratio was the same as Guardians 2, which was a highly anticipated sequel). The nostalgia created by the 90s animated classics makes these remakes have a built-in fanbase in the same way a CBM/franchise movie does. And if the movie is good, it makes no sense to release the embargo this late (not like spoilers are gonna be a thing), so I think there's a high likelihood of poor reviews.

    It will be #2 domestic easily, just because it doesn't beat TFA doesn't mean it isn't a cultural event, it's opening alone proves that it is a domestic cultural event because people were that hyped to see it immediately
  18. Menor the Destroyer
    Can't say for sure. In my theory FFH will not outgross CM. Idk I feel like FFH will get a decent Endgame boost, have to see how it develops, hopefully it'll have a nice runup starting from June or my club is gonna look really stupid
  19. Menor the Destroyer
    And FFH has 6 full days of presales. Doubt that has a huge effect this far out, if anything the lack of a traditional Thursday preview may be hurting it a bit
  20. Menor the Destroyer
    IIRC the number for FFH is a tad lower than the equivalent one for CM?
  21. Menor the Destroyer
    Solo got plenty of marketing, in fact it's unaided awareness was very high, but the marketing just wasn't that appealing to people
  22. Menor the Destroyer
    So did IW
  23. Menor the Destroyer
    Infinity War and Endgame complement each other, I don't think it's as simple for me as one film is better easily because they work together very well. That said, Endgame is a (slightly) more impactful experience for me due to that amazing third act which IW couldn't quite match despite having a great third act of its own.
  24. Menor the Destroyer
    I see your point but at the same time I feel like CBMs generally have somewhat similar behavior when it comes to presalesm, except outlier cases like Endgame or even IW
  25. Menor the Destroyer
    Fits what I can see on the Pulse tracker, the fan event seems to be selling very well (over 10%) of the "normal" tickets
