He did such a great job with SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, How would he have fared with this in comparison to how Nolan made this??? It would have been such a different movie it's barely worth speculating. Probably quite a bit more patriotic, for better or worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annabelle: Creation is the only release requiring over 3,000 screens. Dunkirk, Emoji and Spider-Man all have over 3,000, so maybe they would lose the most. Maybe 500 each?

Self-fulfilling prophecy or studios were wise to put no tentpole release this august finally and that would answer all those why did they not push X-Y-Z in that death space ?

It seems to have had a bit of a backlash on this forum but it's been one of the quiet successes of the summer. There wasn't really any backlash. There were three groups of people with opinions on it. The ones who thought best Spider-Man ever, the ones who thought it was good but doesn't top Raimi's 1 and 2, and the ones who thought it wasn't that great or sucked. The only reason they were arguments was because of WOM, the ones who loved Homecoming thought WOM and legs was excellent while everyone else thought it was good or solid.

Hatebox Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) ^ Nah, whatever was brought up on here over the movie was definitely backlash-esque, especially compared to the mood surrounding its opening. Dunkirk seems to be experiencing the same thing. Doesn't matter either way, as SMH is an unqualified success.

This whole "argument" started when the uberfans somehow created an alternate reality in which SM:H had astonishing, insane word of mouth, when in reality, it was just ok-to-decent. It is a quietly solid box office hit, but nothing astonishing or memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZattMurdock Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Nah, it wasn't just me. @Stutterng baumer Denbrough, @Cochofles and a feel others insisted that Spider-Man: Homecoming's box office run was nothing special. After the first weekend and with the second weekend drops, baumer said that the film would gross around $290m. Me and @TwoMisfits insisted that after Dunkirk, Homecoming would stabilize and show its legs, since it was getting great wom for a reboot that happened less than five years since the last one. We were right, baumer and others were wrong, baumer went out of his way to admit he was wrong. And @Hatebox is right, there was a backlash against the film's box office here. What me and others pointed out is that not all superhero films will perform like Wonder Woman did, but that doesn't mean that Homecoming's run wasn't great. I'm not going to let myself become a scapegoat for people trying to pull a revisionist history here: people here, spear headed by both baumer and Cocho jumped the gun. Like people jumped the gun against Wonder Woman after its opening weekend. Wonder Woman's box office run is legendary, it's out of this world and stuff that we see with The Avengers, The Dark Knight and Spider-Man 1. But what Spider-Man: Homecoming has done is amazing, it's astonishing because it recovered from a second weekend drop above 50% and just kept going strong after Dunkirk. Homecoming might be about to become the highest grossing superhero film of the year. We are not sure if it won't cross Guardians Vol. 2 after Japan and China, and we are not sure if Justice League or Ragnarok will be able to top either of the films that were released already.
