I don't think the openings are the problem (domestic opening, because overseas could be worrisome actually), but the reception and the legs of the MCU. The thing is: for how long will you be able to maintain such high level of openings if this trend of reception continues? Most people are worried about the long term impact...

The way the MCU is becoming more and more domestic heavy and China being not a huge factor anymore (apparently), I think a 1.3B Worldwide would lead to more like a 500-550M domestic (38-42% domestic split). Also I think New World Order is going to be a disappointment. I don't see any hype whatsoever for Sam Wilson as Captain America. Marvel loyal fans will watch it as always, but I am not sure if the GA will be interested by this, I think it will do Quantumania numbers (500M-600M).

100% agree. I generally like Illumination movies, but like in the sense that most are just simply solid, fun movies with no greater qualities to it, different than something like great Pixar/Disney/Dreamworks movies. They are pretty f big with this pattern, if they manage to somehow make a movie that uses a huge property like Mario and is even a bit more than just "solid", I think the sky is the limit.

I think it's a very real concern, because even in places where Marvel was REALLY big like Asia (China and South Korea mostly) it's clearly losing traction and Europe seems to be even more apathetic as a whole. The MCU cannot lose it's strenght in LATAM, because it would be a very bad sign for it's overseas potential in the future.

We will have to see how MCU and Batman movies performs from now on to have a better perspective I think. But given the MCU is becoming more and more frontloaded and the latest Batman movie was not too frontloaded, I personally have a hard time saying that Batman movies are more pre-sales heavy than the current MCU. It's also hard to find really accurate comparions as there is always variants that makes things more inconclusive. -

That is fair, but would still be a 6.3x which is significantly higher than MoM and Love and Thunder and almost equal to Wakanda Forever. -

Do you mean 3-day or 4-day? Because 3-day is a tossup IMO. -

That would be really interesting. Do we have the infos about previews since Batman Begins? Because if The Numbers is right about the preveiws numbers then TDK had a 8.5x IM, TDKR a 5.3x (heavily impacted by the mass shooting), BvS a 6x (with extremely toxic WOM) and The Batman 7.6x (without the EA), which gives an average of 6.8x. -

Oh yeah, forgot about that one. It's still very impressive, even Venom 2 which was a tricky one I think Sacto got it right... -

But is Batman more pre-sales heavy than the current MCU? I personally don't think it is, just by brand alone it should do better with the casual folk than an Ant-Man movie. I mean... The Batman did 17.6M previews and still opened to 134M (it had the EA thing but still), Ant-Man is going to do the same or above and will strugle to go past 100M. -

The thing is I don't think MCU is in the same state it was at it's peak at all, so no matter the WOM I think 150M was just off the table, at least for me. I find difficult to suppose this movie would have achieved that level of goodwill from the public and general interest. The latest 4 or 5 movies are much more telling than 2016-2019 ones IMO. -

This shit is just mind blowing. I became a member one year ago, but I checked over here since before and I have a hard time remembering Phortos and his damn Sacto being off.
