You sure...?

She ain't playing around. Btw. Going to see this on Wednesday. There's only 1 session on Wednesday until it shows normally from the day after.

There's no reviews out in no way shape or form (lol) Only next week as everyone.

If this opens over The Last Jedi, I will sCREAM

I mean, the movie can be bad. But this late review embargo is imo, 100% to keep things secret.

It is to keep secrets out early. Just like NWH. They're going with the same NWH approach

Did they? Box Office Mojo could be wrong but I see that IM2 dropped 59.4, IM2 dropped 58.4 and Civil War 59.5

Is it safe to say that if well received, Doctor Strange 2nd weekend drop won't go over 60%?? Seems that most blockbusters released at this time of the year don't drop that much. Been going a bit back and I think the biggest was 59.5%. But it needs to be well received. EDIT: Lie. TASM 2 dropped 61.2%. But I guess it's safe to say that movie wasn't well received at all. X-Men Origins: Wolverine also dropped 69%. But that shit wasn't well received either.

Disney won't release a MCU movie 1 weekend after Indy 5 They probably don't want their own movies to eat each other up. That's why you see in the Disney schedule at least 3 weeks between each major Disney release.

Not happening. They didn't move before, won't move now. They showed to exhibitors in CinemaCon its coming this year. If they had any interest in swapping dates, they would have said it in CinemaCon and announced it there.

It's true tho. Marvel doesn't need China. And again, China doesn't need Marvel. And probably don't want Marvel. More now that Marvel is pushing for diversity. If they wanted they would simply ask Marvel to edit Doctor Strange 2 for such small thing. Point: One doesn't need the other.

Maybe. But I think that... after all Marvel movies just stopped releasing theatrically, the way meant to be seen, a new MCU movie in theaters could mean very little to Chinese audience. I think if Marvel movies stopped releasing in China be online or VPN's somehow were impossible, almost anyone would care.

You'll have to keep hoping. Feel like it gets worst and worst.

They were just saying to boycott Marvel. Chinese fans. They were all hating on DS2 and saying to boycott Marvel. They've already missed so many MCU movies, that I even wonder if they care. Also the series. Like, I hardly believe there's still much attachment to the MCU. They have missed so much that...the rest is just irrelevant. I feel like.

Like, who cares. You guys are more worried about it than most MCU fans. What's the deal?

I maintain my hopes that one day Disney and other studios will show the middle finger to China. Unlikely? Yes. But one can hope. And that could be soon. I'm sensing some big fuck up by China siding with Russia in this nonsensical war. I mean, in this case it wouldn't be showing the middle finger. Just PR obligation. But still.

And DC does need China according to you then. Because without China no DC movie will go over the 1st Aquaman.

But going forward it doesn't need because everyone will have the China situation in mind and compare how much better it did in matching markets. And I would argue that going forward most MCU movies will be somewhat of event/crossover movies.

I think you're the naive one. Or maybe just don't understand what the word NEED means. Recent movies just prove Hollywood doesn't need China. As will DS2. Unless it's franchises like Monsterverse.

They don't. The only use of China is to maybe break Avatar highest grossing. MCU can keep making billion dollar movies without China like NWH and like Doctor Strange 2 will do. Batman did really well "without" China basically. So is Sonic. The only thing China makes or used to make is good numbers on paper. Most of the times. "fancy human rights". Ok. LOL. Again. Marvel doesn't NEED China. Neither China needs Marvel. They have their super successful and relevant movies to China only.

People on Twitter were supporting Simu for speaking against China. People know he didn't say any lie. He then was pressured by the studio to... ugh. Whatever. Shang-Chi 2 won't release in China so... why?

Lol Screw apology. Marvel doesn't need China. And China clearly doesn't need Marvel. China people now dislike Marvel. So hopefully this leads to a definitive end. Like it seems it has already. It's a start. Extremist? Maybe. Do I give a shit? No. Am I wrong?? No. Should studios be working with China? NO. PS: It's raining as shit where I live and weather affects mood. This is my excuse for being annoying today. It's supposed to rain the next whole week.

What? I'm a Marvel guy. I... enjoy DC. Sometimes. Batman did this bad because of how badly China is doing now. Like, last week was their worst week of the year. And all that for them to keep 75%. Like... I don't care about China helping DC or not. I just find stupid how these studios keep trying to pander to China to then be banned because of editable little mistakes that China clearly is not open to ask for a edit. I mean, It's clear it wouldn't release still but still. And people here saying Disney should bend the knee and apologize is beyond me. And yes I'm bias because of the current political state of the world. I care about stuff like that. Yes, I believe China should be put aside from the world like Russia and Belarus. And the fact that studios take a stand against Russia but doesn't care about what's happening in China is just beyond me. Not only human rights violation but the clear siding with Russia. I don't understand why China is even trying to look neutral still. And I think it's important today because we're as close as we could to something close to a stand against China to happen and it's crazy because... Disney could be the one starting the domino, just like with Russia. And tomorrow I probably won't care but this sentiment will be triggered every now and then.

Is TG2 really opening over 100M?

I honestly wouldn't doubt it. China so called neutrality in the war is such a reach. Day by day, it's clear China's side. Let's see what action by China that might trigger something. Because Belarus is in the can. Today's world is scary and divided. I think that all ties should be cut with China and Russia but in somehow good terms. If this is how they wanna do their stuff, let them be. If a peace pact could be made where all ties would be broken (economically, politically) but still maintain a no war status. Idk if this is possible. At this point just let them take Taiwan. It's going to happen at some point and it's going to lead into another Ukraine/Russia situation and even more global escalation. Just cut any kind of ties with Russia and China and similars in a peace way. Yeah, this doesn't make sense.
