200 m is still a major milestone.

 

Only 3 movies have done it in history, I think.

 

Everything has to fall into place for it to happen.

 

Throwing a couple popular characters into a movie won't be enough by itself.

 

 

ppl went on "Best Marvel movie ever" state of mind
The hype, the reviews, Spiderman / Black Panther
all built up to 200M+ expectations rightfully so
Tho 180M OW is amazing (that's coming from a DC fan who could go all negative about this - tho I won't) I can totally understand why ppl
feel disappointed.

Won't even make 180 mil ow. That's a huge minus for marvel. No defending it.

I don't even like Marvel and I still think this movie is a huge ass win.

Read what I wrote above
I'm not even happy It's failing to crack 190M, when ppl trashed BvS which I loved I felt bad
Some will catch it as a payback time, but I'm not gonna be one of them.

[75Live]

Yeah while I thought it could do more, this is not exactly a horrible number for CW.  I'm not spinning or backtracking, as I was obviously wrong with my prediction of at least $200 mil OW , but yes if it wasn't for all the pluses going in and them adding so many characters to make it an unofficial Avengers film, people would be loving this number.

 

but since all that was supposedly going for the movie, yeah I understand why people wanted, expected more so that can lead to the "disappointing" stances

I liked it because it provided new info. Unfortunately it's just more bad news.

Near 180m OW for a Marvel film? Disney atm

Anything above Iron Man 3's OW is a win to me. 

[grey ghost]

Bigger OW than any Warner Bros, Paramount, Sony, or Fox movie in history.

 

Floooooooop.

[The Futurist]

Huge blow for Marvel, there is no other way to cut it.

 

Under Deadpool dom a real possibility now.

 

People want more  edgy & cool R-Rated jokes, dildos & superheroes getting assfucked by their girlfriends.(#proggressive)

 

This is where pop culture is heading and it is a beautiful place.

Excellent numbers. Exactly as expected. 

[SpiderByte]

"Early numbers are slightly under AoU" is nowhere close to "under Deadpool". AOU made 459.

Maybe the Captain America title is the reason? Maybe some people who aren't that informed about the Avengers-ness of the film are like "meh Captain America"

 

I think the Sat numbers will be better once word gets out.

[Wonder Midget]

I think it's a great number. I just think so many people have such elevated expectations that they're bound to be disappointed.
