    It did have a good hook. It was the launch for the Kang story! It was a terrific marketing hook, the film just sucked and couldn't deliver and quickly got clowned on. It's like saying GINO 98 had "bad marketing" when that thing was clearly set up to blitz the summer it was released in. If the movie sucks, the marketing often won't save it.

    Hilarious. Even Deadline said there was extra 2.5 mil from the other days and people here still acted like Chixulub crashed into their house. Never change, BOT.

    AntMan 3 actually had a high launch and presales and got a lot of hype off the Kang thing. It tanked because it was poorly received, not because Feb. was an inherently bad slot for it.
  4. MightyDargon
    So the actual previews were 9.5 mil? Don't you think you panicked a bit there?
  5. MightyDargon
    IT MADE OVER 350 mil. The "Guardians 3 didn't perform well" gaslighting in this thread is staggering.

    I fail to see how GOTG3 didn't succeed in the slot it had with the hype it had. The movie was already profitable and succesful and worked in its current slot. Why reschedule and play a game of chicken with Mario in hopes that you could somehow make more in April? Also Mario was NOT the only March release and GOTG3 would have had competition then as well.
  7. MightyDargon
    We don't actually have a way to extrapolate the 2nd week drop though. Maybe it will actually hold well under a "rising tide" thing?

    I never knew you before this board. The only things I know are your hilarious rants on here like the "AntMan is more relevant than Avatar" one because I lurked here for a while.

    Zatt thinks it somehow would have performed better in the Mario slot (because that had "less competition") and that Mario would have automatically moved despite the massive hype/presales. I've been trying to point out to him this is a bad idea in the hope the actual MCU schedulers aren't on here lurking and don't try anything stupid.

    What "stunt"? Moving it away from the Avatar slot to maximize its revenue? I'd say that worked pretty well for it! And the days of people moving away from MCU releases is likely to end if Marvels performs similar to AntMan3. MCU isn't in DCU territory but its films aren't going to automatically inspire fear.

    How is AM3 not a "true" Feb. film? It was promoted as the major Feb. release like how Deadpool and Panther were in their respective years.
  12. MightyDargon
    No, he's literally saying Universal would've punted Mario in terror to some other slot if Disney had somehow rescheduled GOTG3 to Mario's window. That was his actual response!
  13. MightyDargon
    GOTG3 had a fine release slot and got over 350 mil. Putting it against Mario and hoping Mario would blink given the massive presales is "Napoleon invades Russia during winter" level strategy.
  14. MightyDargon
    Yes. Fucking MARIO, one of the biggest gaming franchises beloved for GENERATIONS would run from GOTG3. I really wish I had what you were smoking right now.
  15. MightyDargon
    WAT. Why the hell would Disney counterprogram Mario with Vol. 3, there's substantial overlap.
  16. MightyDargon
    MI7 will most likely do considerably more than Fast X did. Beasts did more than Fast X did in the US, it's not that big an accomplishment. I think we're extrapolating too much from Deadline advance numbers on a Tuesday.
  17. MightyDargon
    How the hell do you know how much MI7 will make based on a TUESDAY release?!? How is that supposed to track to Fast X's opening in anyway?
  18. MightyDargon
    Zatt, to be honest, watching you lose your shit regularly is the main reason I come here. It's far more entertaining than the wretched "Barbenheimer" or whatever discourse or people too dumb to know what Mario is, but I gotta say... You need to learn about "economy of resources" and not try to do these insanely long posts. It's a pain to read.
  19. MightyDargon
    I think you guys may be getting just slightly bent out of shape over a Deadline advance predict on a Tuesday night.
  20. MightyDargon
    I already now hate this movie (and Barbie) because of the marketing. Oh well. At least I got to deep six THE GREATEST SUPERHERO MOVIE SINCE THE DARK KNIGHT.
  21. MightyDargon
    SMB didn't get what it got because of "lack of competition". What actually happened was a substantial teen/adult audience got cannibalized from other movies by it.
  22. MightyDargon
    Stop trusting this guy. There's a reason you removed him.
  23. MightyDargon
    Why do people take ChimpireShitty's words at face value, he went on and on about how great Flash was
  24. MightyDargon
    WB buying Pixar? With their current debt load, WB's more likely to be selling than buying soon enough.

    typo/bad data. Still clearly playing in my local theatre.
