CinemaScore is pretty much worthless when we try to predict a movie's legs (unless it's A+ or D/worse). A B CinemaScore can mean anything.

I started following BOM after Spider-Man opened and lurking the forums when Spider-Man 3 opened. I loved the polls in the site. When BOM closed I joined this one as soon as I saw it linked on IMDB but didn't post til the run up to The Avengers. Everyone in the thread seemed like some one I'd hang out with and smart except that one guy who always went a little too far with his love of Marvel.....

A decade now for me (counting BOM).

 

 

Oh man, counting BOM I don't even know how long. I know I starting following Box office in 2005, right when Revenge of the Sith came out though.

Counting BOM I'm somewhere in the 15yr or so area of being around this community.

It gets a bit fuzzy but I feel I lurked more during the lead up to and post release of X-Men.

 

I feel like I joined during the lead up to Spider-Man(2001)

I went to see it a second time with some friends. The place was packed. After it was over my friends decided to buy alcohol and discuss the movie (I've known these guys since we were 5 years old and we've never done this) and then we spent 3 hours talking about the movie and its themes. I'm not too scared about its legs. 

 

Yeah, usually me and whoever I go with just make some quick comments about it and move on.  We discussed the movie for a good hour.
