also my favorite part of A Bad Moms Christmas was when the plot stopped for 10 minutes to advertise Skyzone

I'm fully convinced now that Catching Fire hurt Thor 2 in 2013, or it would have done at or near Winter Soldier's numbers in the US.

It had two full weeks to dominate the market and establish word-of-mouth. Maybe it would have made 5-10m more if a smaller tentpole than CF was on that weekend. But not more.

The Dark World's word of mouth was nowhere near Winter Soldier level.

[MrPink]

Maybe if TDW gave the people what they want, and didn't cut Hogun out of the movie after the first 10 min.

Comparing the two is like comparing a high quality expensive steak to cheap Chinese take out on a busy street corner

No

 

The movie itself kept that from happening.

Racist.

Dark World was decently regarded when it first came out.  I remember a lot of people saying it was better than the first one and Iron Man 3 which came out the same year.

You're right.  Maybe I should've replaced it with the Astros.

[OdinSon2k14]

Do you understand the JUGGERNAUT the Hunger Games franchise was then?! It was the Marvel killer 😂! It denied IM3 and Guardians the highest domestic gross. It crushed Guardian's blu ray dominance.

 

It's only when they tried to milk the final chapter into two movies, that it died off. Catching Fire gobbled up advance ticket sales that weould have went to Dark World. Thor 2 never had a chance.

[OdinSon2k14]

Well I did my part 😂. My third Thor 3 viewing today. Let's see what that actual is tomorrow. I'll see it one...or two 😂...times next weekend, then the long torturous wait for the 3D blu ray. I'm thinking...4 months...it should be coming out around Black Panther's release. 

 

Justice League and Panther should make the wait less painful. Yeah, I go to DC movies 😂. FOX, Sony. My only loyalty is Thor, my old comic hero. I'll see a Thor movie 4-5 times, while once or twice for the other guys. 

 

In fact, Marvel isn't my favorite movie studio, it's Legenday Pictures, who I truly wish had Thor. Marvel is a very frugal studio when it comes to huge CGI effects (not Avengers, the solos), while Legendary will put any monster and freak from Thor's comics on the screen.

I was thinking of you when your boy showed up in Ragnarok  (not a spoiler because he's appeared in marketing; don't thread ban me plz)

Boy, was Bad Moms Christmas bad. It never reached Hangover 2/Ted 2 levels of suck but it’s more like Horrible Bosses 2.

[YM!]

On the whole TDW being hurt by CF debate, yes it was hurt at first but it had a rebound after Frozen and then it just fell apart over the holiday. I think it was WOM that did it in.
