Man, I actually wish I can see a big movie on opening night in an empty theater like this, once. But anyway, relevant to CW, cancel the damn weekend, it's doomed!

@filmlover No idea what you're talking about anymore lol. So...sure? Okay.

Not even comparable. Tele is senile and irrational in his hatred I don't hate, I'm just not impressed for good reasons. But hey, like I said, you can have your fun, I won't stop you. I can even play along for the sake of it

Lol, enemy? I don't hate the guy. I just found his acting painfully mediocre and he himself subjectively ok looks-wise. Nothing special. If you wanna have your fun, it's fine by me. I just won't really care.

I'm not

Lmao. What does your obsession with a talent-less actor have anything to do with me?

Gotta get one post in before the inevitable lock.

Say it's at 650M+ by this Sunday, May 8th (a bit on the conservative side according to projections here) I think another 200M in 7 days with China and US should not be a problem.

The Chaser!! I thought his name sounds familiar. Damn, once in a decade kind of raves? I gotta search up on this new movie of his then.

Lmao, typo sorry. But ya got my gist.

Good posters. Why can't we just skip the hell over the empty and uninteresting May 13 and 20 weekends

Fantastic opening! Now we wait to see how legs measure up. And for China to deliver. I'm hoping for China opening to come close or even surpass CA2's total there. Tall order but yeah, lets aim for that!

I'm confused too lol. Reports say total in HK is $3.2M (up to Friday I believe)

Early articles say the movie to open in 61 territories this weekend, so more markets to come. Good chance for 150M+ up to Satuday? And Sunday is May Day/Labor Day, so we could see a soft drop. 200M looking good I think.

Both Mexico and UK numbers are impressive

That article says Brazil OD is second highest ever behind SW7, that doesn't sound quite right, does it?

Good number. It'll get adjusted up later too I guess. And wow, Zoo keeps on chugging along. Great run.

Exactly that, the Sharon Carter character was there for 2 reasons: convenient plot device and obligated love interest. None of which makes the character her own and interesting. YMMV, to me, it's icky (the actors themselves admitted that much too) and undeserved. But if to look at it from a positive pov, the romantic attachment show the mindset of Steve Rogers, after Peggy's funeral and couple with his determination to protect Bucky at all costs, it showed that he regressed a bit, unable or unwilling to move forward and desperately clinging on to remnants of his past before the ice. I don't neccessarily like the direction it took for the character, but it is different and maybe interesting to some people.

Thanks Rth! A bit disappointed it came in toward the low end. But still a good number.

Pros: - Pretty tight writing. With so many characters, it can very well get messy, but the screenwriters did a good job of balancing things out here. - Good to great actings from most of the cast members. RDJ at his most interesting and engaging Tony Stark in a while. Chadwick Boseman was perfectly casted. And Tom Holland surprised me with how likable his Peter Parker is. - Core conflicts between the two leads are well handled, especially on the emotional front. - Inventive actions and good uses of power displays. - Recurrent theme of rage and vengeance is woven nicely into the main plot. - Good humor that are fitting to the specific characters. - Personal and intimate third act, which is very rare for MCU and many movies in general. - Many interpersonal relationships between characters are well-written and acted. Cons: - Pointless, unnecessary icky romance. Marvel should stop trying with these things. - For as much as they try to make Bucky a sympathetic figure, Sebastian Stan failed to convey it across both movies. - Lack of clear and convincing motivations for certain characters for their investment in this war. For as cool as Ant-Man addition was, his reason for getting involved is weak. Same goes for Hawkeye. - The focus on characters and emotional relationships in the war unfortunately taking away the focus on the thematic divisiveness politically. I would like to see more on that end. - The bittersweet ending is also feel abrupt and too simplistic. - The score. Lol. I definitely need a second viewing to catch some details, but at the moment, I think they did a good job overall of blending a Cap-centric movie within an Avengers-scope movie. I'm most satisfied with how the titled relationship and conflict is handled, as well as great intro for one of my favorite characters.

Seconded. I like the cast for Power Rangers too. Looks like a nice bunch of kids with interesting dynamics there.

I really enjoyed that one. Lee was really good in that movie. My favorite though was Song Kang Ho

The trailer is decent to me. Looks fun. And I'm just desperate to see Denzel again that I can't help but feeling super excited.

Eh. If I have to. A- I guess.

That looks like a great number for The Philippines, and on Wednesday too.
