And yet we keep hearing how Superhero fatigue has set in from people who don't know what the word fatigue means.

The Super Hero fatigue is so real that the movies just keep increasing at the box office. 

 

Shows the grind that these movies are putting forth.

I have not heard anyone on this site say this. But I see this comment every day.

I would tag 2001-2011 the decade of Potter, especially if you factor in global box office.

11 years, 8 movies, 8 big successes.

 

Pixar also has an amazing run around this time turning things around for movies in some ways:

Only 85m for DM3? More proof of the tomato law

[The Panda]

Those are solid BD previews, but how much of it is Wright fans frontloading?

[grey ghost]

Our lord and saviour El-Gort is saving the box office.

 

All Eyez On El-Gort.

Less proof of Tomato and more proof that franchise fatigue is a thing (especially after a poorly received third installment).

I'd say it was the decade of fantasy.

 

Fantasy movies won the WW crown 7 out of 10 years if you include LOTR and POTC.

Considering The World's End had an opening day of only $3.5M, I think the Edgar Wright fanbase is the DozensOfUs.gif of internet followings

[filmlover]

I'm feeling Despicable Me 3 is gonna play out similar to Shrek 4 but with an opening in the $85-90M range, which would actually be great for it. Minions may have made a shit ton of money but did anyone actually like it?

You mean the EW fanbase that pushed Scott Pilgrim to an astronomical 4.5 m OD.

[Nova]

Edgar Wright has a die hard fan base that extends past a few internet fanboys 

[The Panda]

I do think BD is a case of critics helping a movie though.  When it's a smaller movie, with a unique enough concept to appeal to the GA, I think the reviews get it into people's radar.

[Nova]

DM3 is going over $100M and some folks will act surprised that it's doing so well.

I'd say franchise fatigue shoots a franchise in the chest and a rotten score buries it six feet deep.
