2024 Box Office Predictions and Discussion
HummingLemon496 replied to kayumanggi's topic in Box Office Discussion
Would be around 1.33 WW with the same DOM/OS as the first film But, yeah, as an avid Disney supporter I really hope this happens. And you have an amazing track record because you correctly predicted Mario/Barbie blowing up as well, so I am confident in this coming true. -
But what matters is the overall marketing budget. $120M is less than what a $200M budget DCEU film would usually get. Aquaman 1, for example, was $148M. I think most people expected the marketing to be higher which is why it's just a $155M loss rather than the $200M+ many people projected This movie had a very normal marketing campaign, not a super hardcore one like most people though. Telling celebrities to say the movie is good isn't even a water drop in the overall marketing budget. WB was NOT delusional with this movie.

most disappointing performances for a sequel?
HummingLemon496 replied to John Marston's topic in Classic Box Office Runs
You're not wrong. The movie earned an A- CinemaScore, which is kinda meh for an animated film. If it was received closer to the first one (A+), it absolutely could've done the numbers you're proposing. -
Oh nice, I see you reacted with the laugh emoji. Hype/interest and WOM/legs are two separate things. A movie can have massive hype and bad legs, and a movie can also have very little hype and fantastic legs. Quantumania had a big OW but bad legs because it had a lot of hype and interest (despite what people like to say Kang absolutely was a good hook for the GA, as evidenced by fantastic early presales which meant it could've opened to 140M+ if it was well recieved) but it had bad WOM which is why it crashed.

A franchise where 6 of the last 7 entires opened to $100M+ is definitely not dead. That I will absolutely agree with you on. NWH to GOTG 3 is a streak of 6 $100M openers, literally longer than anything in the Infinity Saga and the longest streak in Hollywood history. This record will probably not ever be defeated.

What's crazy is that Captain Marvel made $414M profit so the Captain Marvel franchise is still on $177M profit overall. But imo attributing ALL of the difference between Captain Marvel and The Marvels to Endgame is pretty silly and disingenuous. Even if it wasn't tied in to Endgame -- let's say it released in July 2016 -- it still probably would've done a solid $600-700M worldwide. Like, there's no way it would've done just $200 million worldwide, c'mon now!
