Look at the TFA legs thing this way: It made $688m after OW. That doesn't scream bad legs to me.

 

You essentially have to grade multis on a curve. A 2.7x multi for a movie that opened to $100m is better (IMO) than a $20m opener getting a 3x.

 

What about a 30m opener getting a 20x?

First bold part shows some Kalogical thinking.  Second part is a nice use of the strawman fallacy. 

 

Kalogical thinking is making a club predicting the movie would open to $300 million. I didn't join that club. Anyways, I was right. It didn't perform like a typical December release at all. It opened like a summer movie, it 100% dominated the holiday season, only to see a sharp fall in the new year. If it hadn't taken that fall, it's multipler would have been higher. It's one of the most amazing runs in history and part of that is how it was it's own beast independent of its status as a December movie.

So there's a chance SS have a better multiple than Civil War? Who would've thought SS would end up being more well-liked than that movie? Wow

Um LOL. How is it more well liked? You can't tell that by a .2% difference in multiplier.

I wonder if it has to do with TFA being released in December...  All movies fall after New Year...it's not SW-specific.

How could it be more well like than Civil War when CW made over 400 million and SS has barely made 300 mil. Even if SS made 330 mil at the end of its run, that's still 70 mil behind. That's average out to about 3.5 million ticket (if it cost $20 a ticket).

 

I don't see the math behind that.

No its not SW-specific to fall. It was a steeper drop than people were expeciting though.

According to some members logic, a movie's multiplier is the one and only indication if the movie is liked or not. Then Suicide Squad is being more liked than Civil War. And both are less loved than 2014's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Civil War didn't meet its expected OW potential, and had a poor multiplier.

 

Suicide Squad had a breakout OW, and had a better multiplier.

So you're of the mind that the more money a movie makes, the more well liked it is. Got it.

I'm not seeing a connection between the plot and who a person is sleeping with.

Captain America has spent three movies chasing around Bucky in the most homoerotic way imaginable. To paraphrase Legend Watanabe, let them fuck.

Could you people please add HP to the titles, especially now with the sequel and Fantastic Beasts incoming?

I know it's true, but do you have to crush my hopes by saying it?

[The Futurist]

Back in 1999, The Phantom Menace had fantastic legs too, care to ponder on this subject, BOT ?

 

 

[DMan7]

Strange does indeed have a decent shot at 1B WW.

Let's talk about the potential for a Monster Trucks cinematic universe, shall we?
