Hotter take... No superhero movie has ever been the best movie released in any given year in the history of cinema.
Not hot take... They have been in top 5 and TDK was definitely robbed of a BP nom.

The correct answer is actually 100% (for the funny book part; there's plenty of better movies than TDK)
Well said

I have an hot take to make:
Wonder Woman is not better than The Dark Knight.
End of hot take.
No CBM is better than TDK

How much did Zack Snyder have to do with this film?

Considering the Derby average is 110+ we were definitely more bullish on WONDR than trade.
We also seem bearish on MUMMY4....so time to adjust?...
...and partake in my MUMMY Over DUNKIRK club...

Good information and I'd still be VERY bearish on The Mummy.

Didn't you rule out a $400 mil total through the previews?
Was I wrong? It's a bit different than comparing a sequel we know nothing about yet. I didn't get @DAR was being facetious at first.

Like I said earlier just using the Guardians. Of course there's a bit of facetiousness
Word man I gotcha. We also have a history of first sequels being hit or miss esp in CBMs.

A mid 90's opening just sets up the sequel for a 140-150 opening
Not sure how you can say that lol. Not even through the first full day...

Yeah this is going to benefit from late shows from what i'm seeing, a lot of 7pm and later shows are either full up to the front rows or around 80%. Even the 11:15 ones
This is very common for a Friday night opening FYI.

$100m OW is definitely under what the site was expecting on average correct guys?

Everyone knows Avatar. It is still one of the most recognizable films that you can count on everyone to know. It just got a big ass park at Disney for christ sake
They know it but that doesn't mean they care. The characters and story are instantly forgettable and I don't think that's too debatable.

Yeah that seems true but barnack had a great post in avatar 2. Google search trends of avatar has matched all the big franchises every year since it's release. Anything related to it kn youtube is getting good views. Interest is definately there. I can see avatar 2 do anything b/w 1.5 billion and 2.8 billion.
My original point was on interest beyond the direct sequel because obviously it will do well WW.

Now this I disagree with fullheartedly

Yeah I love Avatar. I think its a near flawless film. But man Jim should just take it one film at a time
Avatar made zero long term impact on our pop culture which is legit insane for the highest grossing movie WW of all time. The demand for the sequels especially from the loonies that love Avatar on here is grossly overstated.

I don't even think Avatar 2 will be out by then.
Who even wants another one beyond Avatar 2? I think planning so many films is going to end up being somewhat of a flop.

My understanding is that Wonder Woman's previews were skewed by NBA finals. Expecting to be surprised and to surprise by a lot of people.
We'll find out the truth shortly.

I feel like a lot of folks have their expectations for this extremely clouded based on how they personally felt about the film.
Agreed, some of these multipliers people are expecting is straight lunacy.

It was always locked barring a complete flop.

$100m+ OW was my personal benchmark for success and it looks to be right on track. Solid start.

Said the guy who said that $200m+ wasn't happening for The Avengers. Let's see.
How is this in any way similar? Whatever you say man.

Just like there was zero chance of coming back from down 3-1 against the greatest regular season of all-time, in which they lost game 1 in that series as well?
This isn't last year and that sort of thinking is why the betting odds weren't completely lopsided going in. The Warriors are winning the title and its not going 7, end of discussion.

$185m. I still think that $138m is possible though. It'd take this in order to reach that number:
$11m Previews
$44m Friday
$49m Saturday
$34m Sunday
It seems completely feasible to me. Also, the novelty and high praise for this will be way bigger than Vol. 2, at Vol. 1 levels AND Wonder Woman is a bigger and more known name than Guardians was back then.
This is not happening, demand isn't even close to the same levels.

I still believe the Cavs are winning the series altogether. The Warriors were always going to win game 1. Cavs are winning in 6.
There is zero chance this is happening sorry. Clearly we didn't watch the same game 1 but not the right place to discuss it regardless.
