Civil War is doing fine. I hope people don't start back pedaling and saying it is only a "Captain America" movie in order to prop up the gross 

 

A 425/1.2B run needing excuses is hilar

 

Everyone chill

Just stop. It isn't missing 400 million. We know you're wanting the movie to fail, but it isn't going below 400 million.

Lol, the guy you quoted just said that.

Below 400m is impossible. It will be 104.5m away from 400m after a ~72m weekend taking it to 295.5m.

It's just that the fans were prioritizing seeing the movie on OW vs later on.

 

There's that. And then there's the people who saw Avengers 5 times and Ultron 3 times who'll maybe see Civil War twice. Novelty eroding leads to a decrease in repeat views, even from hardcore fans

 

All those families who went to see Star Wars 7 three times over the holiday won't do the same for episode 8

I don't care if it fails. I just like to find the trend. 

Apple go from 90 to 110, make money, goes from 110 to 90, make money.. I have a Samsung, I don't care about Apple or iPhone,  as long as it moves.

I'm not saying it's going to happen but if it continues to erode, anything is possible

I think you're right on. I haven't watched any of those movies, so I know not to bother with Captain America 3.

I don't think that's the driving force behind box office numbers.

 

Otherwise the movie in my avatar would be the biggest thing in the history of ever.

Didn't say it was.

 

But when we're talking about the difference between a 55% drop and a 58% drop, it matters

CW wasn't meant to make this much anyway. It's an art film.

I also agree. Finally starting to see some signs of super hero/comic book fatigue. They are still massive but just not as big as they once were.

It should be evident that a bad superhero film hitting the market a few weeks before a superhero film is not going to have a positive effect on the second superhero film.   That's why Feige said he wanted BvS to do well.  He gets it.

 

Every film in a particular genre affects how popular that genre is.  This should be self-evident.   Fanboys don't get that and root for failure for certain studios in the illogical belief that it will help their favorite succeed.   Shocker....it doesn't work that way.

 

Superhero fatigue is only a real thing when audiences don't like the superhero movies.

How much of the drop can we attribute to Kanye's song in the Fassassin Creed trailer?

Gonna be fun when we have the same conversation next May when Guardians 2 opens

 

Well...

 

The thing about that one that it still has going for it, is that we haven't seen those characters since the original.  For every good thing that can come about for having an interconnected universe, i.e. bringing in other characters to boost "solo" movies, it also means the characters aren't as special anymore.  It's boosting some films, but putting a cap on others the more we see these characters.  

 

Also, people don't need to watch everything in the MCU to understand the sequel.  I think it stands a good chance to compete with TWS for best MCU sequel multiplier at around 2.7-2.8(depending on quality of course).  Something like 135/378 I think.
