Iron Man has no place in that list. He was a solid B-lister until RDJ made him what he is now. Do you know who does belong there based on decades long worldwide popular culture awareness? Wonder Woman.

But those films would have been a success even without RDJ.

To put Hidden Figures' performance in perspective - it is Fox's second biggest domestic grosser in 2016. It is ahead of their entire summer slate of Apocalypse, ID:R etc

OS & WW are a VERY different story though.

I am not disputing the obvious fact that all of these four films have achieved fantastic financial results and will please their producers and studios to a very high degree. I am saying that these numbers are not as great as they sound. There have been many small-budget films throughout history  that have brought in huge numbers at the box-office. Just to give some examples, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, There's Something About Mary, Good Will Hunting, Pulp Fiction, As Good As It Gets, The Waterboy. All those movies made a hell of a lot more if you adjust for CPI inflation than our current crop of sleeper hits. 

This is like saying that The Force Awakens didn't do so great because the original Star Wars made way more adjusted for inflation. Just because La La Land, Hidden Figures etc. aren't reaching these grosses doesn't mean that they're not massively successful in their own right. Numbers can sound great even if they don't break any records.

Hulk was more popular than Thor, Ant-Man and Dr. Strange combined and his movies barely made 130 m DOM.

How far could GO go ?

To be fair, both PR and GITS are 4th and 5th and both will barely get to $100M

However Wonder Woman is the first female CBM in the new golden age. I don't see $250M+ like others but easily over $200M due to competition. Guessing an $85M-$110M OW despite CU (which should do $25M-$45M OW) with a $200M-$255M total.

Keep on underestimating PR

I didn't like Logan. Whatever.

Actually I now see $100M as the minimum with a $200M maximum. Lots of hype at my school. Thinking an Lego Batman sized OW ($53M) with a $150M total. Waiting til Kong to make my final decision.

That sucks, man. Been up 23 hours myself. But, that's because I'm on day 4 of 5 day regimen of Prednisone to treat some ridiculous inflammation. Can't sleep on that shit. Too strong.

 

But, yeah, could be worse. Roommate is okay health wise it seems. She'll find her shit. No one's hurt. It'll pass. Chin up.

She was okay. She forget to tell me she spending the night at the house.  I am glad she is okay. I hope I do not work tomorrow.

It's okay. Some people didn't like TDK either, for example.

Get outs weekend is incredible

Some people are a minority. Usually.

So far, the response to WW has been okay at best. So 230 million domestically isn't out of the question.

That is still in my range of anywhere between $200M-$250M domestic. Had WW had an August release date with little competition it would do $300M minimum.

Actually The Force Awakens made more money than the original Star Wars (let alone its sequels) if you only count its original run and adjust with CPI inflation. US population in 2015 much bigger than US population in 1977 though. 

 

Star Wars made $220M in 1977 which equals to $860M in 2015 USD.

The MCU never becomes a thing without RDJ's performance in the first Iron Man. General audiences very likely had no clue who Tony Stark/Iron Man even was before that movie and his performance.
