Does this movie have a shot of reaching a billion before it premieres in China?
-
Very reminiscent of the posters for The Matrix Reloaded.

This is the biggest wild card of 2021, honestly.

Anything below $100-110M would be underwhelming.

I think reviews will make or break this one.

Feels like 2003 all over again.

Sandman was the best part of Spider Man 3.
The biggest issues with that movie was Venom and the emo Peter stuff. It just really didn’t work.
This movie will probably be a mess but at least it’s looks fun. Also the idea of the villains going back to their universes means they die is sort of interesting.
I don’t think the latest trailer was great but I don’t understand the attitude towards the movie here, this is going to be the box office run of the year. Get hype lol!
This forum has a tendency to be overly negative.

I actually appreciate the restraint that Sony showed in this trailer. Leave at least some surprises for the audience.

mmm
I said "potentially".

This movie could potentially be a big case of "Expectations getting out of proportion and leaving lots of people disappointed".

I'm not expecting Tobey or Andrew in the trailer. I don't think anyone should.

Watching it for a third time in a little over a week, I think a big reason I loved this so much was that I had no prior knowledge of Dune. Especially on rewatch I kept focusing on the world details like the voice, the stillsuits, the shields, Baron's floaty spine device etc. If you have no idea about Dune, every 10 minutes in this movie you go "that shit is really cool". Frank Herbert really did all the best drugs in the 60s.
Indeed. Villeneuve does such a great job of maintaining the lore but also being digestible for newcomers. He only tells us what's crucial the moment instead of overwhelming the viewer with backstory.
On a side node, this movie made $1.23M on Thursday ($87M DOM). I think it has enough has in the tank to cross $100M.

400m as a floor sounds about right.
Mine is $375M. I expect it to blow past this though given that the Covid situation is improving.
-
What do we think is a *realistic* floor for how this does domestically?

Continuing the trend for this Spider-Man franchise of rubbish posters.
PicsArt is their passion 😂
And yet sadly, this is best of the MCU Spidey posters.
-
I think we'll get a trailer attached to Ghostbusters.
-
This is where my predictions are at the moment.
Low: $220-250M DOM. $500-600M WW
Mid: $250-300M DOM. $600-700M WW
High: $300-350M. DOM. $700-800M WW

Look, I honestly can't think of the last spin-off film that increased from the previous film, at least domestically. Minions was basically billed as Despicable Me 2.5, yet it still declined from Despicable Me 2. And yes I know Lightyear will probably have better reception, but going above 434M, especially when family audience turnout, even by June, will still be up in the air...well, all I can say is when you all have a meltdown when this only gets to 275M or whatever...I told you so.
Lightyear isn't outgrossing Toy Story 3 OR 4 domestically. I'm a huge Pixar fan and even I think $400 million for this is nuts.
-
I still feel confident about this grossing more than Minions 2 (DOM at least).

Definitely disagree on this front. An space/action Pixar movie with a tangential relation to Toy Story is going to do bonkers numbers. It’ll be bigger than TS3.Well, I certainly think it'll be bigger than Minions 2.

Critic Consensus: An ambitious superhero epic that soars more often than it strains, Eternals takes the MCU in intriguing -- and occasionally confounding -- new directions.
-
Potential observation: Reviews could be harsher initially due to premiering at a festival. Not a guarantee it'll go up, just something worth mentioning.

I really enjoyed this one. An all-around endearing film about family and cultural pride.
