I remember when Gitesh did that with Age of Ultron because it was one of the very few times that Rth was wrong. And I was defending Rth to the end against this one poster who kept bashing him and anyone who believed him. Then, Rth turned out to be wrong and that poster laughed and laughed. Fast forward months later and the poster that bashed Rth now praises him along with the rest of us....but I'll never forget the Rth doubter!

Who is that poster

Gitesh said the same thing this morning when the preview numbers came out and he thought that could mean $100m.  His new data is telling him something different.  Oh Rth, where art thou?

 

 

 

 

@Tele Came Back  could you change the title to $33-35

Yeah, we'll find out soon enough I'm sure!

Maybe it's paying the same price Batman Begins did for previous shitty movies in the franchise. MOS, BvS, SS...three turds in a row. 

Are we ignoring the pretty unimpressive marketing campaign and lack of a clear hook besides being the first adaptation of the character? WW is doing pretty good numbers, but let's stop with this nonsense that the previous DC entries hurt this movie's BO, especially since they had no or barely any connection with WW. 

 

TIH, Thor, Cap and IM2 all did less than average business and that didn't stop The Avengers from breaking records. 

 

If the audience sees your product as different enough from the badly received predecessors, a negative impact on the product will be pretty much zero.

Johnny Depp (imo) was one of those movie stars who could get butts into theaters on his name alone. He is a brand much like Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Sandra Bullock, Kevin Hart etc. Unfortunately Depp did some fucked up things that tarnished said brand and hasn't done anything to show that he's better or fixed those things. So his appeal has decreased by a lot, as a result and it's because he tarnished his brand and never attempted to fix it. But make no make mistake 5-10 years ago Depp was a household name that drew folks to the theaters. Now he's the guy with all the personal stuff going on. And I don't want to go into details about it but yea that stuff ruined his appeal/brand to the GA and his fans. 

A household name because of Jack. Was he really ever a big draw outside of that franchise? I think that's debatable, at least domestically. Worldwide he was definitely a big draw outside of Pirates.

Hmmm. I remember it being a few different posters actually.

The numbers are not going down from nearly $39 million down to $33 million in a half hour span.

There aren't enough tributes to Rth yet for him to make an appearance. C'mon guys where the abs and naked men at???

I disagree on point 2 because I would bet mint coins that a suicide squad sequel would do at least $100M OW despite how bad the first one was. The GA doesn't seem to fall in line with what I'd consider a good or bad film or critics in general 

lol no SS sequel will not open to 100 million.

I was 15 then probably even younger depending on the year but I remember all the girls at school thinking he was hot and the guys loving Johnny Depp. I definitely think he had a lot of pull though.

Brie can sing? Didn't know that. Really cool. Felt like she was playing herself in Kong when she was joking around with Tom. Bet she's like that in real life.

It's not.  It's like people trying to say RDJ didn't help make Sherlock Holmes blockbusters - as if all the numerous previous SH movies were doing $500-600m ww

 

Or that DiCaprio didn't greatly help make The Great Gatsby big because everyone and their great grandmother has read the book.

These are all projections. It comes down to looking at the raw data so far and extrapolating based on comps. A wrong comp here and there can easily skew the result a few million in either direction. 

[WrathOfHan]

Johnny Depp was definitely huge 10 years ago. It's a shame that he's in such a shitty position right now between his flops and that he's probably a wife beater.

Nah he wasn't except to horror fans for Nightmare On Elm St (but this came much later) and other odd burton films like Edward Scissorhands. 

I would compare his star turn as Jack Sparrow to RDJs turn as Tony Stark.

RTH isn't making an appearance because the numbers are just so low that Wonder Woman is currently not an event film

Gitesh is now in a no win situation he'll be hated for being right or mocked for being wrong lol

I will not name names. You can always check the weekend thread in the archives when Age of Ultron was released to see. If you do, please don't copy and paste any of it here, including the guilty person's name. I am not trying to start trouble.....just saying I remember the Rth doubter!
