Black Panther has a lot of buzz, much more than Dr Strange did.  It could push for 300m, especially with an uncrowded february.

That’s why I said could, nothing is set in stone for Black Panther. Also even if it doesn’t crack $250M DOM it would still probably be successful. 

 

I’m currently predicting: 

OW - $115M 

DOM - $320M

OS - $390M 

WW - $710M

Theach setup for him has been so bad I find it hard to imagine they'll do anything interesting with him

 

Well Feige has already said this about IW: "in a movie that has a lot of characters, you could almost go so far as to say he is the main character, and that’s a bit of a departure from what we've done before [with other villains], but that was appropriate for" this film

CGI shouldn't automatically mean generic villain. Thanos should be far more than your typical CGI CBM villain if he's done well at all. He already has 6+ years of buildup within the franchise going in his favor. What other villain has ever had that in a franchise? 

They barely teased at him. I still do not get what hype for him is. 

 

Anyways. JJ needs to reboot the DCEU  he has saved Star Trek and Star Wars. Now time to save DCEU.

I hope Infinity War is Marvel's first rotten film just so it can put an end to the whole Marvel pays critics saga

 

Technically...they’ve had a rotten ‘movie’ in theaters and it’s even lower than all the DCEU movies.

export some from Puerto Rico.

Y’all wasting time argue about villains when the appeal of Marvel movies have always been on the heroes.

 

If IW seeing big drop off from Ultron, it’s gonna be because it has like 40+ characters in it.

 

The only hook that movie has right now is Avengers meet Guardians (which I’m sure will be the focus marketing point). Whether that will be enough for GA we’ll see.

At this point i just trust Kevin Feige and Co. I doubted Ant-Man; they delivered. I doubted Doctor Strange; they delivered. I doubted Homecoming (yes, i did); yet, they delivered.

 

They wont fuck up Infinity War.

Ant-Man came in under pretty much everyone's expectations.

The whole infinity stones narrative has revolved around teasing his entrance. Not sure how much more they could build him up without actually having him in the films.

Thanos has taken off his hat this time so he will be good.

It has a generic CGI villian which is already on some sites top 10 worse SH villians lists.

There are websites that say the world is flat so I guess that means it's true, huh?

Oh lordy. It's gonna be horrendous ain't it

[The Futurist]

At least Infinity War will have good visuals/ spectacular VFX.

Love or hate the MCU, but when it comes to post production VFX work, they always deliver.

I really wonder what the part I & II are about though.

Ok i give you that. Though its not outright BAD like SS or BvS. Its just a bit mediocre.

Ant-Man is a whatever movie but lol at the revisionist narrative.

Oh are we talking quality? Thought we were talking box office. In that case I doubt both MCU and DCEU very much

[tonytr87]

I believe Feige when it comes to Thanos. From the outset he seems like a potentially horrible villain, like a Ronan the Accuser on steroids. But if they're serious about truly giving him plenty of screen time then maybe they're serious about developing him like a proper villain should be. 

 

For example, everyone was raving about Hela in Ragnarok and then it turns out she's barely in it...these films should be more or less half hero, half villain.

I thought Ant-Man would do like 125M at best
