Sure. But my point is that if Infinity War opening under Ultron or The Avengers, that has little to do with “SH movies fatigue”. It’s a reflection of how MCU as a franchise had reached its peak.

Coming back everyday and having to endure this [imaginary] suffering from a forum that’s full of trolls and haters must not be healthy for you. I’m not judging, but are you sure masochism is how you want to live your life?

I think even if Deadpool and Infinity War failed to out-open its respective predecessors, that still has nothing to do with how and why JL failed to do what it’s expected to. Deadpool was a surprised breakout with a hook/novelty. So if the sequel dropped off from its predecessor, that’s just it following common trend that we see all the times in sequels regardless of genres Unless we’re talking about an OW drop to under 100M (which is an indication of something else entirely), we already see Ultron decrease from The Avengers, so why would another drop off indicate anything other than it’s performing like a part of a franchise, on its own merit.

In a year where 4 out of 5 SH movies did amazingly well BO-wise, let’s use that one bad performance to spin and project superhero fatigue as the reason for its failure. Makes sense.

This is a side of Pink that I rarely see. I like it.

I’m not very well versed in how Chinese BO work either but I imagine in this case, it’s a bit like how in US, we predict what’s a movie gonna do in wide release base off limited release numbers. Coco started off with small number of showtimes, but metrics like Maoyan/Douban ratings show indication of great reviews/WOM that will guarantee to spread. Thus leading to significant demand that calls for big increases in supply (showtimes/screens) to follow. Plus, there were precedents like Zootopia or Dangal that help with predicting the trend.

That’s still not under 325M, Tele. Just so you know.

While joining the under 325M club. I’m not sure what type of strategy he’s going for with this

Tele is a patient guy. Keep making over 400M clubs for DCEU while joining those under clubs for MCU. Throwing everything at the wall, something bound to stick at some point.

I feel like I just intruded upon some type of orgy.

Wading through those petty complaints must be fun for the mods.

Yup. Agatha Christie is a big name in the detective/mystery genre. For all the Sherlock Holmes adaptations, I don’t know why they don’t see the potential in Poirot or Ms. Marple series, especially toward the adult audience.

My statement was made in jest. But thanks anyway.

Never given my thoughts on this movie. I thought it was competently made. I enjoyed the performances and the atmosphere. Glad it’s doing well BO-wise. I’m down for more in this universe.

Ragnarok OS performance is easily the most impressive out of 3 MCU movies this year. Very handily beat GOTG2 and coming really close to Spidey (which is a consistent performer in the OS markets). I think if it has had an August release date (or kept its original July date), it could have a real good chance at 600M OS. Overall though, the current release date that had us worried still worked out well in the end. It’s a great result that I imagine exceed even Marvel’s expectations considering TDW’s reception and performance

I think Aquaman will pull respectable number. It has a pretty good release date. It also has Wan as director, which makes me obligated to say that it’ll be a good movie too. No idea what a Shazam is.

My projected total OS: 435M Dom: 235M WW: 670M Will be a close bet for O/U Man of Steel WW.

$100M from China, $50M from Mexico and $50M from Japan already give Coco $200M from just 3 countries. That’s just stunning. What’s the release date pattern looking like for OS? Like how many markets it currently have?

LOL.

Thank you. Overestimated the OS drop a bit due to domestic hold. Good number. 850M WW might be a bit of a struggle but I hope it’ll get there.

That’s in line with my projected 470M WW through Sunday. Should be closer to 465M with how Dom drop went.

Worse increase for Ragnarok than I expected. Still a pretty good weekly increase from last Friday though. Don’t see over 25M for 5-day any more. But it’ll be close.

Thor: TDW dropped 22% on Thanksgiving weekend. Don’t you think you should check the numbers even if you’re just making random claims?

Damn, that’s a crazy jump for Coco. So close to taking the top spot. Really glad Pixar finally having a breakthrough in China. Great increases for OE and TR as well. Making the most out of the minuscule number of showtimes they have. Poor Manhunt lol.
