This has to be one of the most pervasive misconception on this board. Despite evidence people keep repeating this as fact!

 

Of the 7 MCU movies that I have 3 week tracking numbers for only 1 was overestimated (gotg2) while 3 were in range and 3 were underestimated!

 

Heck even the tracking 2-3 days before release when everyone seems to have been hyped to high heavens only 3 out of 7 were overestimated. 

 

And if this opens to 110m plus then this too would have been underestimated by 3 week tracking. Thats a whole whopping 1 overestimation from 8. 

Oh sorry, i want to say the Marvel sequels

 

Ultron, CW and GOTG2 have overestimate tracking numbers on the week of release, if i remember well [Ultron was 200M, CW was 190-200M and Guardians was $160M]

So Ragnarok with the $ 100 - 120M tracking could be the first in the recently Marvel sequels to surpass the high-end expected

 

But my memory is not the best, so maybe i'm wrong

I think it goes without saying at this point but this is now the highest grossing film directed by Taika Waititi. Actually it passed that last week but now it's the highest grossing in America.

 

Should pass Green Lantern at some point today as well, which will make it the highest grossing film starring Taika Waititi.

 

Once it gets past 435M worldwide, it'll become the highest grossing film by a Maori director.

Had it pegged for $110-$115M myself, which is still quite a jump from Thor: The Dark World's $85M 3-day.

 

And... I really think Justice League will just barely crack $100M in its 3-day. If that. 

I give you props for knowing how to make people do a spit take.

It's crazy how looking back, GL featured a future MCU director and the star would end up getting his own beloved spandex franchise and an actor pegged to play the villain in the (aborted) sequel will get to play a DC movie villain after all.

BOM should open up a comp chart between Foreigner, Zookeeper's Wife, and Thor.  Battle of the Kiwis 2017.

Yeah it's almost like the studios are pumping out 20 of these things a year so everyone will invariably be involved in several

Don’t forget Angela Bassett in Black Panther. Plenty of people from the movie are getting CBM redemption.

Hard to believe that boom mic operator #431 went from working on some rando indie flick in 1999 to a superhero movie in 2017. Crazy.

[YM!]

Looks like the MCU will have three movies over $300M/$800M this year. That’s impressive.

fun fact: the props art finisher of Thor: Ragnarok went uncredited as the vine maker from The Ruins (2008).  crazy how far they've come.

[Wonder Midget]

Kirby art leaps off the screen in Ragnarok. The art direction and photography were superb, the entire cast perfect. It's definitely now my favorite Marvel movie, and may be in my top five CBM's.

That's one way of looking at it. I look at it more like how they went on to greater things. Same way one person who quit a MCU movie went on to give DCEU its first critical win.

Surprisingly the trailer that got the most response out of my audience was Jumanji.

[That One Girl]

the trailer that got the most response at my showing was New Mutants.  by most response, I mean a few people leaned over and whispered to the person next to them.
