I don’t blame him. He quit The Flash because as he put it, they wouldn’t let him give the project “edge,” i.e. political. (Some rumors claim his movie plot would’ve involved a BLM element, which is possible considering who they casted as Iris West.)

 

meanwhile Marvel let Coogler basically give us BLM Magneto in Killmonger and is raking in the dough.

To be fair, a Flash movie doesn't need to address black activism. Most people want a cool speedster flick.

Think WW2 does something like 170/470

I think it'll have shorter legs compared to the first considering it's opening in November.

I think WB will be happy if it breaks the November record. 

Yeah. As long as it increases over the first, they should be pleased. I also trust the same creative team to pull off another hit.

Yup.

Made a BP post on Facebook, my first in centuries, and it completely flopped. Looks like this actually isnt the smash hit we though it was.

I wonder before they moved it to November if WB ever considered February 2020? Not that it's matter but BP and Deadpool proved it's a great month for superheroes. They have a superhero film for that slot in 2020 but I suspect it's going to SS2. 

 

All these shocked people on Twitter who are amazed by BP's selling out or having crappy seats, don't these people prebook? Just rocking up at the cinema just before showtime is never the best option.

I'm still seeing people thinking IW will crack 600 million no problem.

- Washington DC x 2

- Chicago x 2

- Virginia

- Maryland x 4

- Charlotte x 2

- Los Angeles

- South Orange, NJ

- Murfreesboro, TN (Nashville)

- Atlanta

- Southern California

- Fort Lauderdale

- Valdosta, GA

- Columbia, SC x 2

- Miami

- Arlington, VA

- Orange County

- New Jersey

- Oakland x 3

- Toronto

- Army kool aid factory

 

unsurprisingly, no Montana and Maine.

 

PG county killing it.

 

Not bad for a place that basically exiled me for being schizophrenic and independent.

 

But that's a story for another time.

I assume they maybe considered February, but figured that November would be a more apt time, considering that Wonder Woman would have a few weeks to take the top spot before that planned Fox / Marvel film, gets released (think it'll be delayed though), so it made more sense.

I mean it got 7 likes, but I consider that a flop considering I have over 1800 friends and they've been sharing Panther stuff all weekend. I guess I got too jargony. Probably should've said "5th best opening ever!!!" and left it at that tbh.

WB seems to having a tentpole in November but just alternating DC or another franchise with Fantastic Beasts. 

 

 

[Mekanos]

I'm not sure what to make of WW2. How often do sequels to 400M+ DOM movies outgross their predecessor? I think it will open in the 150M range no problem, but its legs are a toss up to me.

November is usually a decent time to release a tentpole or a bigger budgeted film, especially with Thanksgiving weekend.
