Watched this 3 times now, and def will be watching 1-2 more times. It´s by far the best Guardians movie imo, albeit I wasn´t the biggest fan of the first but it has grown on me. Vol 2 is great tho
WF was dropping no matter what, the first one had everything perfectly lined up. But maybe the drop would have been lower with a movie with Chadwick that wasn´t nearly as somber as this one became due to the real life circumstances.
I don´t think it is, but I´m not quite sure. Sat also looked way worse but improved with sales on Thursday and Friday. Wonder if the WOM wasn´t good if it would have dropped. Looking at Mario second week it had a big Sat jump.
Tbf, if Vol 3 is doing around 50M or more albeit with strong WOM, I expect at least 100M from China here. WTS data is strong aswell but the reception to the last movie was garbage and it doesn´t sound like this one is any better. Will be interesting to see if OS falls even further. It needs to get way over F9 and I agree that looks unlikely.
Many OS markets were released 1 month before day and date release. Increase is coming but 750M would be insane. It´s losing PFL´s after one week, and after that the schedule is packed. I´m thinking more like 600M
Absolutely. This movie was coming off the worst MCU year ever in terms of reception, a year that had 2022 8 projects and then the disaster that was Ant-Man 3. It´s all on Disney/Marvel and not Gunn. He did his job and because of that this movie won´t bomb totally.
It´s interesting because pre Ant-Man 3 the OS gross was the biggest problem for Marvel. While domestic didn´t reach full potential we still saw big grosses while OS just keep going down and down. Here it´s domestic that will be that disappointment while OS while actually be not that bad. Don´t underestimate how important this was to not lose the OS markets completely.
Funny enough, this was what deadline wrote in the article in Tuesday:
"While the pic is hot with all demos, we hear that GOTG leans a tad female given main star Chris Pratt."
Another certified deadline moment
