Off Topic: Just wanted to say (again) that rth is my dream man. 

A guy that love movies and have inside numbers, so hot! 

[That One Girl]

Also most of my trailers were pretty normal, but sprinkled in there was trailers for The Hurricane Heist and God’s Not Dead 3

Ummm...I give him all the credit in the world. He is incredible at what he does. I am pointing out to you that he specifically mentioned pre-sales as a caution against going overboard with expectations around here. Ultron is an example where pre-sales screwed up everything.

What does BP have in common with AOU?

 

Why is that the comp you're most concerned with?

 

Lots of movies have had huge presales since 2015.

 

Also is it possible Rth got better at tracking in three years of doing it constantly?

I was looking at the first Captain America for comparison. Adjusted for inflation, it made $29.7m on opening day. Black Panther almost matched that in only 4-5 hours of preview shows last night. Pretty amazing how Feige has been able to build the MCU over the last 10 years.

With all do respect, Captain America was a period film (set in WWII) . Dunkirk has been the most recent period piece that has gained any sort of buzz.

 

There is a good report on it from DEADLINE here ---->   deadline.com/2017/07/dunkirk-marketing-christopher-nolan-warner-bros-box-office-opening-1202134029/

Rth might be a woman. You ever think she was just trying to type out “Ruth”, misspelled it and just ran with it?

[Krissykins]

Fantastic numbers.

 

Early Man and Samson are disasters, whatever they are. 

 

 

[grey ghost]

The energy and hype surrounding BP reminds me of JW...

 

...not AOU.

 

Walk ups are not going to be typical.

I am not "concerned." He mentioned pre-sales and Ultron is the big example we have where pre-sales caused issues. That's all I'm saying. You seem to want to argue for no reason.

I also got The Hurricane Heist. Compared to the rest of the blockbusters trailers, it was completely out of place. I did hear one person commenting on how the idea of a heist disaster film, and how illogical it seemed though.

Then compare it to Ant-Man or the first Iron Man. Either way Black Panther's performance is incredible.

Walkups are not typical for any movie that opens over 100M

 

He's not trying to say it'll perform like Ultron, just giving a word of caution about early data. Chillax

It's hard to overstate how terrible the release schedule is through late April

At the box office, yes.

But from the reviews, "Early Man" is actually a funny movie.

It's by the people who created "Wallace and Gromit".

[Blankments]

Since I saw someone quote him complaining

 

i put both @WrathOfHan and @tribefan695 on ignore for openly talking The Florida Project ending and spoiling it in the classic convo thread. I’ll take them off that list whenever I watch it lol

If i recall correctly, at least the internet hype wasnt actually that big with JW (thats why its numbers getting bigger and bigger was so shocking to many). Its just that the whole GA went to see it. Black Panther has massive hype and buzz, both in the internet and with the GA. So at this point, i dont know if JW is that good of a comparison in terms of hype.

[grey ghost]

AOU had shitty walk ups compared to JW, Avengers, and Thor Ragnarok.

 

Casuals were luke warm about it throwing off expectations from pre-sale data.

 

Luke warm is not how I'd describe BP's buzz and hype.

 

[Boxofficerules]

Black Panther messed up by coming out against Samson, getting killed.
