Nope.

 

I looked at Rotten Tomatoes audience reviews and picked 5 at random. Seems like they're all negative.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seems to me the consensus is this film is very disappointing.

Lol, you really cherrypicked those, there is a good review in the top 3. Accidentally added the spoiler tag there is nothing in it.

This is Thanos' story. They have addressed the concerns about previous Marvel movies by making Thanos shine as the stand out performing with his back story, development, and motive. Fitting such an ensemble of heroes into one movie was a gargantuan task but the Russos pulled it off. The tone was great, and the interactions between characters was fantastic and the heart beat of the good guy story.

WOW! A film that actually lives up to the hype and surpasses it!!

Not trying to invalidate your opinion, but acting like there is no sign of good reviews is foolish. I haven't seen it yet so not trying to argue my opinion on the quality.

I bought an account even though daily I get super annoyed with everyone's dumb opinions here, I'm such a sentimental sap for loving this. Anyway too bad Jake Gittes left or else it would be time for another commie overthrow, Tele's modship being restored is last straw.

I will not tolerate this weakness of character comrade Clay. And do not doubt that I'll always come back

In the int'l threads, there's actual ratings from some sites and they're all stellar so. Obviously America could be different but since we haven't seen it yet, you can't exactly say.

This needs to be posted again. IW opened to $1.3M in Vietnam beating previous OD record by 62.5%

Why do you not like Spider-Man 2. I haven' watched it in years but 19 year old me spooged over it in theathers.

I don't really like the actors or the tone.

 

Also, I'm a huge fan of mechanical webshooters and synthetic webbing.

 

Nitpicks, maybe but it is what it is.

 

But I splooged over the twin tower teaser. I was obsessed with it and it's possibly one of the reasons I disliked the movie. My expectations were off the meter. (Though SMH was able to scratch my itch somehow)

My exact problem with the Raimi films 1&2. They're so well written and constructed, but Maguire and Dunst just don't work enough for me.

What are reasonable expectations for the OS total?

 

1.1 billion?

 

Is 1.2 billion on the table?

Well, we'll see how I feel just under 5 hours from now. Obviously, people should respect his opinion, even if we may disagree, my problem was the fact he picked out the bad ones and said that the reviews were "all negative" when there is a two 5 star reviews on the first page (there is a lot of "want to see it" votes)

Seems to be significantly higher than Ultron in a lot of initial markets. And China is set to have a big increase maybe 100M more than Ultron by the sounds of it. 1.1 / 1.2 is definitely possible, but I'd still say dampen your expectations.

I would say 1 billion is done, the rest will depend on legs. 

[The Mad Titan]

Looking at everything, and given the 20 full days of no competition (essentially), I’m hoping for a multiplier around BATB (2.89x).

 

OS numbers seem to be really booming. Might be able to get $300 million more than Ultron.

Because an origin story will have the same legs as a superhero team up and also a hugely fan driven are the same leg wise.

This is definitely for the best that he's been convicted. People who commit a crime really should serve the time, no matter what their status is.

[MCKillswitch123]

Infinity War is breaking records and Bill Cosby is in jail. All is right in the world.

 

All, except some shitty takes in this thread about the fucking awesome Raimi's Spider-Man 2

About 5 hours to go:

 

7:00: 117/124 (+2)

7:00 3D: 81/113 (+1)

7:15: 68/78 (+2)

7:30 3D: 50/78 (+1)

7:45: 66/78 (+2)

8:00 3D: 52/78 (+2)

8:15: 38/63 (New show replacing Traffik)

8:45 3D: 46/69 (+27)

9:15: 63/78

9:45: 57/78 (+16)

10:15 3D: 19/60 (+11)

10:30: 104/124 (+5)

10:30 3D: 46/113 (+5)

Total: 807/1,134 (+112 with +63 on capacity)

 

Current comps in relation to final sales:

 

75% of The Last Jedi (165M)

162% of Black Panther (327.2M)

239% of Thor: Ragnarok (293.3M)

251% of Justice League (235.4M)

690% of Pacific Rim: Uprising (193.9M)

949% of Rampage (339.7M)

972% of A Quiet Place (487.9M)

996% of Blade Runner 2049 (326.7M)

The only other show that can be cancelled now is the 7:40 Super Troopers because IW is taking over the other 11 screens in some capacity  If they don't cancel that show, they can still get another one in at 10:10 or so. I honestly won't be surprised if they let some of the other screens play later into the night; the demand is there.

 

 

@CJohn I'm feeling pretty good about 300M.

[YM!]

They finally got Cosby.

Whyyyy would this ever get that kind of multiplier? Like, even a single possible reason
