Liiviig 1998

Pedro Pascal is a little overexposed but I guess I'm fine with the casting happening. Javier bardem as Galactus would be cool. Think they are going to retool this and change towards Galactus as big bad and pivot from Kang.

Bigger jump than I expected. Let's see Wednesday . 15-16m ish weekend.

It's Sony . So no doubt this will be bad. Now the question will be can it be fun or enjoyable like venom and atleast get to 200m WW.

Looks cheap but interesting trailer and the premise is actually looks intriguing. But it's Sony. Though this didn't pump or create excitement but at the very least I'm intrigued . Way better than a typical generic trailer.

Avengers movies will live or die on their WOM. As long as they at the very least fun crowdpleasers, there is enough for 1-1.5B+ especially if they dig into the cameo route . Sub 1bn seems like exaggerated this far out. Spiderman ,Xmen and F4 if in right hands still have potential. I can agree on this, the era of interconnected cinematic universes is numbered. Infinity saga was the first of it's kind and was special. Now it has reduced novelty . See multiverse saga limping to the finish line ,and maybe the mutant saga and that's about it . Superhero fare is definitely going down in terms of popularity and they simply won't have enough appeal to justify mega budgets for spawning massive interconnected stories and crossovers. CBMs will revert to standalone and pocket universes (Nolan trilogy, raimi SM trilogy) for some of the popular ones that bring in some money. Don't think they will die out horribly like westerns . Saw an article on Reddit stating 19% of marvels OW was Gen Z. So yeah they starting to clearly move away from CBMS.

Having finished excellent Loki S2. More and more convinced Kang just won't work. Immortis and timely were just a little to goofy to take seriously , Kang in QM was severely undermined. Character is neither intimidating in terms of strength or intellect. Council of kangs was cringe and terrible. Loki S2 definitely left door open to cut Kang and I think they will.

Sunday drop was already terrible to begin with . Monday drop % is below WF if that estimate holds. Playing like WF dropwise will get this to around 14mish (-69% ) Wednesday will be the deciding number. But definitely think this is dropping more than 62% of WF and eternals.

Whats the sites reliability?

Other than visuals and great soundtrack ,some neat acting found S1 of Loki mediocre and lazily written for the most part and didn't like how Loki story was handled. But S2 was fantastic and even made parts of S1 better. Still wasn't perfect . Kang was underwhelming as usual . Overall Loki had way more urgency, time aspects were way better and less confusing and contradictory. and boy were they some mind-blowing visuals and effects and they were not there just dazzle the audience and they meshed well with the story and characters. Surprisingly dark and episode 4 left me speechless . All the characters were strong and delivered strong performances.Thank God they reduced the whole romantic subplot btn Loki and slyvie that felt so unearned and dragged in S1. The ending was excellent. Morbius scene at the end just got to me. Best season of MCU TV. Loki S2 Ms marvel Moon knight Wandavision Hawkeye

This is literally making less than flash. Any " didn't promote this" excuse is render it kind of mute. GA didn't care for the movie and reviews didn't prove them otherwise. FNAF is going to beat WW, Domestic,OS and OW . No promotion. Marvels is an MCU title that alone should be enough to attract decent enough audience even without promotion .

Watched this yesterday and wanted to gather my thoughts. Hmmm it wasn't a disaster ,infact chunks of carol,Monica and Kamala Khan were pretty fun and yeah carol is way better in this . Kamala continues to be fantastic and she is the most grounded . But the plot sorrounding the three leads is complete nonsensical ,absurd and just honestly bonkers. It was TLT levels of bad. Villian was discount Ronan. Her motivations made sense but it's not really gone into and gets swallowed up by the next ridiculous moments in the plot. Editing was awful. My head hurt at times. Continue to turn nick fury into a joke and quip generator. He use to be such a cool character. End scene with Kamala was cringe and just dropped in for future setup . Post credit scene Was nice Due to the three leads chemistry . It was better than Quantumania ,eternals and TLT. B-

Well that's BOT. Mocking jay 2 was quite profitable. Made 4x it's budget. Had debates on breakeven points on all summer . There is theatrical revenue and ancillary revenue. They are domestic ratio ,overseas minus china ratio, china ratio of what revenue comes back to studios (50-55/40%/25% ) respectively. Deadline and major trades use 2-2.5*. production budget I've seen multi as high 2.7* production budget for Very OS heavy films with a large china gross. Assumption is ancillaries will cover marketing budget in long run . 2-2.5* rule is not perfect it's the best we have got. MI7 was bailed out 70m of it's budget so think will breakeven . Otherwise it was like 50 -100M+ money loser for paramount. So don't think we can put in the same league as Indy,flash,marvels,haunted mansion.

25m is wed to Fri. The article says 25m "through Friday" so it's like 60m.

Maybe that's it.. Needs more rewatches because it . Because that film has some banger scenes that go toe to toe with some of his best work. That interrogation scene is just quite something. But It's slowly paced and you really feel the time. Something interesting happens then following chunks you get into the procedural elements and yeah acting is good but everything kind of starts to drag. It's a very methodical film.

Expect to do really well with kids. Chris Pratt factor. Lego movie type of box-office for this. Way more Dom heavy than OS. Yeah it's bold but just got a good feeling about this.

Zodiac was 7 for me . Fight club is an all timer and my favorite fincher film. Of what I've watched Fight club Seven Curious case of Benjamin button Gone girl Girl with a dragon tattoo Zodiac.

Updated domestic IO2 - 130m/485m. Deadpool 3 - 165m/420m. DM4. -120m/375m Joker. - 135m/375m Passion of Christ 2 - 80m/300m Wicked part 1. -75m/300m Gladiator 2. -85m/275m Garfield. - 60m/260m Mufasa. -85m/250m Dune 2. -75m/235m KP4. -65m/225m GVK. - 80m/225m KOTPOFP. - 70m/205m If Zootopia 2 is to release in 2024 - 450m. 2024 should be a good bounce back year for animation atleast.

Loki S2 is one of the best things marvel has done . Buts that's a streaming show. MCU has two major bombs this year and saying is not in danger due to Loki success is a tad bit ridiculous. Losing money on 2 major tentpoles in quick succession is just plain bad and thinking otherwise would be terrible business sence. I cant count how many businesses or projects I've seen fall with " it's fine atleast this is part is doing well" mentality when shit is starting to get wrong. No decline begins with sharp fall , it starts with complacency and small concessions. Marvels box office is a culmination of all the small things and bad decisions .that have been accumulating and now we here seeing the unthinkable . Hyperbole is ridiculous at points here but MCU is definitely in a rough spot .

Where will OS opening weekend land . Sub 60m??

does it have some questionable action scenes that didn't age well . Yes sure But Avengers has the best screenplay in the MCU. Some of the best dialogue in the MCU to this day . Civil war close second. May not be my favorite but top 5 MCU movie for me.

It had a small. Original made 368m domestically. Expected it to drop but not that hard.

Joker 2 thinking minions 2 vs mimoins 1 situation. Bigger domestically and make less Overseas. Feel the musical aspect will sell way better domestically than OS. Expect like big 120-130M+ OW . 350M+/900M+

Had this at 300m+ originally due to Pixars woes. But teaser is great and buzz really strong. Finding Dory is where I would put it. Another heavy nostalgia sequel. Also think DM4 is going to jump too Domestically . Illumination post covid has really revived after a slump in 2019. Thought minions 2 was primed for those big dropoffs but it ended up grossing more domestically and a healthy WW total.

Deadpool is going to do well. Some predictions are just set some up for disappointment. 1.3b ? Expecting 600m domestic or something? No china. R rated It's not going to be a joker OS I. That movie attracted non - typical CBM audience. Best I see is 1.1b . This will open to like 150m OW and you will see weird meltdowns . Think OS total will not be far off from days of future past /MOM.

Then marvel is "back" will look funny again with cap 4 and thunder bolts flopping the following year. Don't really consider Deadpool a litmus test IMO. Character is popular,the premise is strong . Expect it to top the previous 2 entries at the least. Real litmus test is 2025 . Can they get the audience to turn up for their new characters and stories . Deadpool flopping is unthinkable for me . If it somehow does. Then I just don't know.
