Aquaman the Lost Kingdom numbers at best imo btw
At worst*

Can somebody explain to me why Across the Spider-Verse ($100M) had such a lower marketing budget than Mario ($150M) even though they have the same production budget ($100M)? WTF. Imagine how much it could've made more with better marketing like Mario.

If you check the archives, you'll see that many of us loved the movie when it released on this forum. All that hate for the twist is from fanboys.
Hot Take: For me, Multiverse of Madness is another "why do people hate this?" movie.
And I called IM3 hated because yeah in general it feels like people consider it mid and it has a really low Letterboxd rating

Avatar 3 should do more than that based off inflation alone.
Not after how badly Avatar 2 underperformed domestically

Hey I just realized, No Way Home @ $804.7M has a pretty good shot at winning the 2020s domestically. I mean, that much is really hard, even like 220*3.6 doesn't pass it.

Barely breaking even with a Z-lister like Morbius in current CBM landscape is a success
Morbius fans rise up. . .it's a success now

I agree that superhero fatigue exists but that only happens because of BAD movies. If every single MCU movie earned an A (like if Eternals/DS2/T4/AM3/Marvels didn't earn B's on CS) then we'd be having no talks about "Marvel fatigue" at all.

Why is Iron Man 3 hated? Watched it a couple hours ago and it's fucking AWESOME!!

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone suggest that Captain Marvel would’ve flopped without Endgame. Just that it’s unlikely it would’ve crossed a billion without the Marvel hype machine being at its absolute peak at the time.
As for The Marvels, there’s any number of likely reasons why it bombed.
Yeah, it obviously would not have made that much without Endgame hype. I don't know why people tried to deny this. I mean it's not like that's a bad thing.

Man, why is Box Office Theory so anti-Reddit these days?
-
Another one of my hot takes (maybe?) is that attributing the entire $922M difference between Captain Marvel and The Marvels to Endgame is really weird. Come on now, do you actually think Captain Marvel would've done just $200 million worldwide if it weren't for Endgame? Even if Captain Marvel wasn't tied into Endgame -- let's say it released in July 2016 -- it still probably would've done a solid $600-700M WW.

Really hope IO2 has some last minute blow up like Minions 2/Venom 2.

This forum is no different. No one has any answers of how to get people back to theaters. I see the same comments here as Reddit.
Reddit is the best social media website of all time by a pretty significant margin so that's not a bad thing

That's more of your moronic and absolute hyperbolic view and thinking of box office.
You're either BOMB or HUGE.
If you make something you want an expectation, you're doomed to be disappointed.
I think anything over 100M is a big win for this and I think that when all is said and done, it will be there. This will perform on that last week.
And let's quit with this "AND I SAY THIS AS A HUGE DISNEY SUPPORTER". No one cares and every time you say it, the less I believe it.
I say that to stop the "you're just a hater who wants this movie to fail" accusations. I'm actually a fan who is mad about the 💩 numbers. To put it simply 80M for Inside Out 2 would be like when Justice League opened to 96M, just ewwwwww.

I get that the situation is not good, I really do, but at the same time if they can't even get the sequel to a seriously beloved classic to do better than the original on its opening weekend then that's a bad look (if not for Pixar, at the very minimum for the situation Disney has put them in). "Atleast if won't flop" shouldn't be the bar for a sequel to freaking Inside Out.
They should make copium a new emotion in the third one lmfao

This is exactly the problem. You're too deep into emotional investment in a big number that you refuse to acknowledge the reality of their situation right now.
What do you truly think the consequences of a mere $80 mil opening would be besides just being "bad" in your opinion? It's still a pretty solid opening for any movie with a presumably $200 mil budget with good overseas prospects. And if it turns out to be a great movie with awards recognition, that would go a lot more towards improving studio morale than a $150 mil opening weekend.
Yeah that's fair and sorry if I came across as too smug in the comment right above this one, but even if there's reasonable justification, the result is still disappointing to me.
And, ok, it's a good number for breaking even and making a profit but a bad number for the sequel to a movie that did $356M almost 10 years ago.

And by the way, it's not mine. It's from @BOfficeStats and holy shit, the effort that goes into these posts is actually insane.

If you have to look at things "on a scale" then that only reinforces the fact that this opening would not be good on a vacuum.
Holy shit for real lmao, "this bad result is happening because of X, Y, and Z, so therefore it's actually a good result" And I say this as a Disney/Inside Out supporter who wanted this movie to blast to $150M+ but sadly it'll do around half-ish that.

So the movie is 3 weeks away and can easily open above that 80-85. Also the movie does not close on June 17th. It has summer weekdays to stretch it's legs if WOM is good to great. Elemental did a multiple of 5 last year with mid reviews and decent but not great WOM.
Yeah, I saw a comment on Reddit that said "Deadline and Lowballing name a more iconic duo" and I gotta say, yeah I hope they're lowballing with this meh $80-85 prediction.

Also, gonna be honest with you, @HummingLemon496, saying a MCU film will top 1b ain't that uncanny, even with its dropoff last year.
On the spicy take scale, it probably rates a Jalapeño, at best.
Now saying that TGM will beat JWD and take the summer crown of 2022?!?
That's a SPICY MEAT-A-BALL!
(not a single person "IN'ed" until pre-sales for TGM started to roll in, and even then it was very very slight)
((the first page and a half is absolutely hilarious in hindsight))
Ok, that club. . holy shit that is actually fucking insane. Hell, TGM almost doubled JWD domestically. And that's coming from the guy who made the Sampson > Black Panther club haha.
And unrelated but I wonder what the reactions would've been if went back to like December 2020 and made a "MCU Spider-Man 3 > The Force Awakens opening weekend" club.

How so? That would be the biggest Pixar opening since Toy Story 4.
That's not a high bar, right now that's only like 40M I think

If the sequel of a beloved classic can't even outopen the original film, I simply don't know what there is to be happy about.
Yeah, below 90M would be horrible. I did not expect this movie to underperform this badly but it looks like it's gonna happen. The spin is crazy.

@Porthos don't kill me.
Just for shits and giggle, can you throw in TRoS and Captain Marvel for DP3.
Just for trend's sake, no serious comps.Are they really good comps? Those movies came out when Thursday previews were at 7PM not 2PM
-
@Eric Furiosa and just mods in general, if Deadpool 3 actually ends up topping Joker WW at $1.075B, is there a way that we can give some type of award(s) to @SpiderByte who created the club, as well as @XXR vs XXR, @ZattMurdock, @Arlborn, @Asyulus, @Nero, @TheFlatLannister, @grey ghost who all went IN pre tracking? Such uncanny accuracy needs to be celebrated, so surprised because based on presales I think has a good chance at happening if it is GOTG 3 quality.

So how is $100M looking for Inside Out?
