the most badass thing zack snyder could ever do is bust this tune out in justice league like for the intro for aquaman or something. i'd start a mosh pit in the cinema.

Why? Blomkamp doesn't have it in him to take a tired concept and make it fresh. 

 

From a straight up marketing perspective its a better sell I think, plus it would have been a no bull shit alien movie 

[aabattery]

There's a few other directors who's names are draws in their own countries. Valerian's France performance should be interesting to see, since (I think) he's well known there. I think J.A Bayona's movies over-perform in Spain, so I'd say he has draw power there as well. Probably a few other examples like that. But obviously they're not on the same level as Spielberg, Nolan etc.

Incredible restraint here.

On a note concerning GV2's legs:

WEEK NUMBER	Guardians of the Galaxy	Guardians of the Galaxy 2
1	$134,390,839 8-7-14 / 1 4,080 / 4,080 - $134,390,839	$183,157,419 5-11-17 / 1 4,347 / 4,347 - $183,157,419
2	$63,154,982 8-14-14 / 2 4,088 / 4,088 -53% $197,545,821

 

Guardians V2 second week:

$83,580,055
5-18-17 / 1
4,347 / 4,347
-54.4%
$266,737,474

 

Opening Week to second week drops for MCU comparisons:

AOU dropped 58.6%

TDW dropped 58.3%

IM2 dropped about 59%

IM3 dropped about 58%

TWS also dropped 51%

AM dropped 53%

CW dropped 59%

Strange dropped 51%

 

 

Seems likely GV2 ends with a 2.5x-2.6x multiplier.

What you just saw was the self-control of Tibetan monk. Had to go against every instinct writing that but I did it. Praise me.

You are so very, very wrong about that unless the reviews are terrible.  

 

You cannot have a unless X (that is reasonable, not large scale power grid failure, like the movie being terrible) scenario where it does not do it and say that someone is wrong when he say that it is not a lock.

Nolan is loved among the Reddit/fanboy crowd, but he's far from a household name.

 

I'm not sure of that, Nolan was already well known (for a director) worldwide in 2011. He is arguably the biggest draw (if he do a Nolan big movie) after James Cameron right now.

 

Last time I checked the ranking worldwide (not up to date around 2011-2013), the director awareness * popularity among aware ranking looked like this:

 

1- Spielberg 73% (obviously and in is own league) 
2- Tarantino 46% 
3- Scorsese 44% 
4- Burton 40% 
5- Allen 37% 
6- Almodovar, Pedro 24 % 
7- Howard, Ron 23% 
8- Peter Jackson 22% 
9- Luc Besson 20% 
10- Soderbergh, Steven 16% 

...

Nolan 12%, already getting close to those legend with much longer career in the spotlight.

 

Nolan awareness by market in june 2011:

Nolan, Christopher	Australia	0.274694262
Nolan, Christopher	France	0.412835249
Nolan, Christopher	Germany	0.347663551
Nolan, Christopher	Italy	0.388475836
Nolan, Christopher	Japan	0.254545455
Nolan, Christopher	Korea
Nolan, Christopher	Mexico	0.37037037
Nolan, Christopher	Russia
Nolan, Christopher	Spain	0.360113422
Nolan, Christopher	UK	0.322674419
Nolan, Christopher	Int'l Average	0.34142157

 

 

In 2017, I think most of the frequent movie goers know Nolan, and that to them than most ticket are sold for movies like that.

Nolan has made Warner Bros a lot of money so even if Dunkirk doesn't do huge numbers, they'll still greenlight his next film. It's the same with Clint Eastwood and to an extent Ben Affleck, Eastwood had a few duds like J.Edgar, Hereafter, Jersey Boys but then he had hits like American Sniper, Sully and Gran Torino.
