I think 2016 was a more successful year, 2017's end note wasn't as good as it supposed to be

2012 was probably the most successful year for superhero movies. Adjusted for inflation, none of the 2017 superhero films comes close to The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises domestically. 

 

2017 certainly had the most superhero movies and only one seems to be a bomb, but not as great as 2012.

Fantastic Beasts was an incredibly shitty movie and maybe one of the worst, most boring blockbusters of all time watching Eddie hanging his mouth open all movie long collecting a paycheck. It dropped like a rock because it sucked so badly. There. Someone has now said something about FB. Happy?

2017 feels like 2014 adjusted for inflation. Both years had mostly good/great superhero films that did well with critics and at the box office although none hit $1 billion, with one notable outlier that fucked it up (TASM2/JL).

Animation was dominating last year and failing this year is an example

Also 11 CBMs in a year isn’t good.

Actually, it was running ahead of JL after the first weekend. JL would have caught up to it in dailies if this number is accurate. If JL matches it for reminder of its run, it will make about 240. This is about the drop that I expected for JL on Monday. Most movies will probably drop in the 70+ range. 

 

*Shrug*

 

I think the point is, JL is not competing against Fantastic Beasts. It had bigger fish to fry. It became the comparison because FB had good legs and people hoped it could pull a FB type run which is mostly out the window. I'm not even saying this Monday drop is particularly good or bad, but let's not act like suddenly it's going to turn a complete corner. Why should it match FB' legs from here when it already held significantly better than JL on the 2nd weekend and Star Wars is going to be bigger this year compared to last year. It shouldn't be sparring with Beasts, it should be doing at least Thor Ragnarok type numbers.

Similar, but 2014 had only one exceptional BO performance with GOTG. 2017 had 2 with WW and (ironically enough) GOTG2.

But 4 movies over 800 m and 6 movies over 600 m is kind of incredible.

 

What other genres can boast those kinds of numbers?

 

Over 3 billion from a single genre is unprecedented, not including Avatar's freak of nature global take.

FB also had a higher second weekend, better reception and showed signs for strong legs already at that point

Yes but he was talking about the overreaction with any JL number...

JL performance is VERY bad but Monday drop is ok.
