Aquaman and Bumblebee have been testing incredibly well. Look for those two to hit big later this year.

Unfoturnatley they will hit against each other......

Maube you missed the latest one. Its badass as hell

 

It's OK for a niche comic book audience.

For the GA, it's not very good.

Not everybody is a comic book geek. Something a lot of fanboys seem to have trouble understanding.

Aquaman should easily beat Bumblebee Domestic but will be an interesting contest Overseas.

Bumblebee has a 90% shot at beating Aquaman OS IMO. I don't see it dropping much if at all from The Last Knight.

Your obsession with that silly pop star wannabe (who used to be a promising Oscar-nominated actress) is making you say dumb things.

I bet the laughing stock Aquaman will beat at least half of the MCU movies domestic.

Just like Wonder Woman did.

But let the Marvel zombies laugh now.

I am sure that once Aquaman hits and suceeds, they will come up with the usual (and desperate) "it was only a hit because it homaged MCU"...

Except internationally.

 

where it made less than Doctor Strange.

Star Wars was a monster hit without comic book geeks with such a poster.

Again only three solo superhero origin movies did $400M.

Her career is doing fine, thank you very much. Most 21 year old actresses would kill for an Oscar nomination and two Golden Globe nominations.

DCEU Domestic Average: $317,618,694

DCEU Overseas Average: $436,000,000

 

MCU Domestic Average: $339,334,680

MCU Overseas Average: $520,000,000

 

DCEU and MCU on a surface level analysis are comparable in North America but MCU has the clear advantage Overseas. Also noting the MCU figures include AMaTW's current totals so those averages especially Overseas are gonna rise.

The hotness level of this take is like -273 C. It’s just obviously true.

Probably the best reply in there. Was gonna say something similar but this dude is better at putting it into words than me.

I'd argue the Nolan Batman impact in the industry started with Batman Begins in 2005 when every dormant franchises had to be rebooted into a "dark & gritty" movie. TDK was just the culmination of that trend, not the genesis.

 

Though I got an even hotter take. The impact started with Michael Mann and cinematographer Dante Spinotti. Without them, no TDK trilogy which is Batman comics seen through a Michael Mann's lens, loosely based on Manhunter (Batman Begins) which spawned a whole genre of thrillers (serial killers profiling that ironically culminated with Silence Of the Lambs and Seven) and TV shows (profiler/forensic procedurals up to this day), Heat (TDK) and Public Enemies (TDKR). The latter is ironic considering Bale stars as a simili-Batman that ends up being broken down mentally from chasing the bad guy and Marion Cotillard who plays the populist antagonist.

TDK impacted how blockbusters were made while The Avengers impacted how franchises were structured. Heck you can basically look at TASM series and see the attempts to mimic both styles. 

 

 

[IronJimbo]

lol both Avatar and Titanic impacted film-making more than either of those films.

 

 

[StevenG]

The only thing Iron Man impacted was Robert Downey Jr,'s wallet/bank account.

But let Marvel zombies continue feeding the delusion that the MCU is the architect of modern cinema.

[Darth Lehnsherr]

So the current attempts at a cinematic universe by all major studios is NOT the result of how well The Avengers did? Then what is?

You're talking about asteroids. Those aforementioned movies are meteors.
